A TIV * M.JM *UV mm *> * A The Territories?Throo Opinions. The relations between" the territories and the federal government, it well known, makes up the principal issue in the current Presidential canvass. On this subject, curious to say, three different opinions have been advanced, by various eminent statesmen, living and dead. Tt is worth our while, perhaps, to see what their opinions are. First in order was that practically acted upon, from the foundation of the Union, up to the year 1850 ; and acted upon, for most of that timo also, without question as to its constitutionality; wo mean that which considered Congress to have not only an exclusivo, out an nDsoiuie ngni 10 legislate about the territories, and under which the slavery prohibition clause was so often inserted.?Mr. Webster, one of the most distinguished upholders of this doctrine, contended that this power was given to Congress, in that clause of the Constitution, which declared that Congress should have a right "to pass all needful rules and regulations" respecting "the territories and other property of the United States." Tt was Mr. Webster's idea, that Congress, as to the loMl/iriog Via/i HMnntir> nnnwr. if tliev flinsfl ?) ? 1 , , - ?J to eiercise it; and under this conviction, he declared himself, in 1848, unalterably opposed to the admission of new Slave s'ate8. V?. Xf n " ""**1. at least in the later years of direr*:.'- ^ l"hat the clause about tlio u,. , re a e to them only as property, and no?, 88 co,1?" cnunitiea or political organizations; in ObJ*' er words, that it gave Congress the right to | -dispose of the lands, <kc., dul hoi iu gu?cru 'the population, aud that the right of Congress to legislate, which was derived from its right to make treaties, &c., declare war, and therefore annex teritory, was exclusive -and not absolute. That is to say, Congress 3)as no right to legislate in opposition to either theletter or spirit of the Constitution ; it Cannot, for example, create a nobility in a "territory ,-or repeal the hebeas counts law ; nor can it, and here carao out his favorite notion, legislate slavery either into or ouii of a territory, because that would be to favor the people of on^^ec^too at the expense of .-those of the btbftr, which, he maintained, was never the inteatof the Constitution. He denic<^5.he exjrtanoe of either aa express or implied grant in the Constitution to ConWining about . slavery at all .{folding tin8 view, be urged that the prac tjc? injo which Gongwwa bad fallen was of >?0!.'binding force, becatiBe precedents are iinvalid wl&n thfiv favor wb^i is clearly 0n constitutional. Mr. jCalhouni in a word, conaMered that Coogres had n6 power to vote Jfylftif ie or out of a territory; that ^^Ijheruers and^ Southerner 6fftution tobft- fqumed, according to> pr?S L i tico never deviated from till Michigan applied for admission, could the question be voted upon, and that then the inhabitants were to do it for themselves. The third opinion is the "squatter sovereignty doctrine," often confounded with Mr. Calhoun's, but essentially different from it. This gives the settlers, at once, the right to determine the character of the future State. It it a new theory, first carried into effect when California was admitted; and subsequently further endorsed by the Kansas-Nebraska act. Under it, if strictly adhered to, Congress has no power to repeal laws passed by a territorial legislature, no matter how cruel, vindicative or tvranical they may be, as it is admitted to have under both the Calhoun and Webster doctrine. The only remedy, in such cases, is to a new legislature, r>r liv nntifvil (?-? ?i pniirt nf Inw. if t.llR pti actments are unconstitutional. So also it' an election lias been carried by fraudulent votes, no redress can be afforded by Congress, but only by territorial legislature, or possibly the courts, if tbc official certificates have once been made out in favor of the "bogus" candidates.?Though Kansas was set a going on the "squatter sovereignty" principle. both parties in Concrress have since aban doned the tlieory, for both have introduced bills te repeal part or all of the laws passed by the so called "border ruffian'" legislatue. These are the three opinions. It is for the people to decide which is the most consistent with the principles of the federal constitution and the spirit in which the Union was formed.?Philadelphia Ledger. The Grand Duke Constantino. The Daily News' coronation correspondent thus describes the appearance of the Grand Duke Constantine, whom lie encountered at one of the stations of the Moscow rail TT way. .Lie says; "I got an excellent view of his imperial highness, who came clown, upon tlie platform and nodded to and chatted with everybody about him. It was pleasing to see the confidence with which humblest people came up quite close to him, and the ofl-hand, friendly way in which he received their compliments. There were no soldiers, no butt-ends of muskets to keep off the common herd: but evervthiiur was trustinrr ? - - * o ~ O' kindly, and without any affectation of condescension. Tic is a tall, slight, and wellmade young man, with good features and a pleasant expression, and seems to he on the best terms with himself and every one : about him. He is, in short, the last man in the world who, from his appearance, I should reckon dangerous or disagreeable. , Besides this he has some considerable reputation for wit and sarcastic humor, and , many of his sayings are in general circula- , tion. I shall give you one or two specimens. To enable you to understand the first, I must promise uiai me zvmcricans, wnose wonderful sympathy with Rusia during the war it was difficult to understand, have made several excellent speculations in this country, amongst others, the contract for beeping the Moscow railway in repair, by which it is said they net a clear profit ot some 200,OOOf. a year. The grand duke, who is dissatisfied with the job, as well he may be, had lately some distinguished friends on a visit, whom he handed over to his chamber Iain to show tlicm the sights of the capital. One flay he asked that officer whether his friends had seen all the sights, and being in the affirmative, ho said, laughing, "Then go and show them the American contract, which is decidedly the greatest curiosity that could be exhibited in any community." The second story applies to bis imperial highness's early days. lie was, as is well known, appointed to the nominal command r>f thf tlpf( wIipii n f.liilrl. hilt even nt. 11 inf. early ago was anxious to make it a reality. One day, when on board a man-of-war, ho promoted an officer who pleased him, but the appointment was not confirmed, while the young admiral was reproved. Tbe next morning lie appeared before the Emperor in full uniform and tendered his resignation, adding that he was no admiral if he could not promote whom lie likod. It is needless P? a(M that this youthful burst caused considerate Amusement ?n the highest quarter, and the resignation was not accepted," An Emerald had been ??>ck a long time, and whilo in that state woulci. occasionally cease breathing, and life be apparently extinct, when he would come to. On ou0 of I these occasions when he had just awakenea from his Bleep, his -comrade, Patrick, asked him " ' < -??i a r ?i "An" now u we kiiuiv, dtsuiiuy, nucu ye're dead ? ye'er aftber waking up overy time." "Jist bring me a glass of grog, and say to me, 'here's till ye Jommy7 an' if I don't riee an' drink, tben by the-piper of Moses, ye may put me under the sod."

Our cotcmporary, the Picayune, lias devoted its attention for some days past to the subject of Southern Literature. We are glad to gain even a tardy recruit in behalf of <1 cause to which the Delta has -1 i_ 1 ?i- * ^ uuvoieu lis energies lor many years, and we congratulate the Picayune on the discovery that Southerners are perfectly able to write their own books and publish them whenever it may appear to suit thejr convenience. In due time it may find out that they can make their own laws also, if neccssarv. The following paragraph in one of the articles of our cotemporary arrested our attention for a moment: Measures are on foot, we arc gratife<l to learn, to establish a new Monthly Magazine, of the first class, to be published at Charleston, and designed to call into requisition the pens of Southern readers. We shall hail its appearance withe the liveliest satis facion. We, too, will hail the appearance of such a publication with "the liveliest satisfaction," but at flif* s:imr> fiinn \vn nrr> <TiTiinf>ll?rl notice a decided sin of omission, of which the writer 1ms been guilty. lie nppears to forget that Columbia, S. C., can already boast of a periodical which lias no equal on the score of ability in the United States, the Southern Quarterly Review to wit, of which Air. w. Hiimore 5Sunms was nt one lime editor. This journal is highly crcditahlc lo the literary genius of the South and possesses a political value besides, which renders it one of the most useful as well as the most agreeable publications of - the day. Mr. Simms is a writer of remarkable powers?a creator ns well as aciiUo?gifted with the finest analytic capacity;1 and second to none of his coiempornrics as a sagacious and conscientious editor; we believe his successor in the editorship, the Rev. Dr. Thornwell, is equally capable. Of what practical value are the stolen .stories of Harper's Magazine, its repririts^f English novels or its "drawer" full of stale jokes ovor which that numbscull^ .Gaylord Clark, presides, compared with the original and searching articles of Dr. Thornwell, nnd the gifted contributors associated with him in his undertaking? And yet wo must confess with regret and shame that'.'.Harper sells twenty of his badly-illustrated and trashy magazine for every "'singly, copy of the Southern Review. We do ip^ot pretend to account for this fact, but caudor compels us to record it. Even the aqgfttionism o? Putnam appears to attract more^itronngo than the solid opinions of Slrams: And yet there ought to be room enough in South Carolina for another periodical, and both should secure the most liberal support. The literature of a nation is its roost vital element. In the books of Englafld alone wo find the secret of her success; and once a people contents itself with accepting the books of other races as their teachers and their guides, they must prepare themselves to submit to the ferrule of their masters. But we are disgressing from tBe second omission of the writer in the "Picayune, which we desire to point out for thkspccial credit of New Orleans. lie forceta'-a^Month ly Magazine of the highest class is -about to be issued immediately in this city^wibiect to the editorial control of Mrs. McOorojn J.idy of great literary accomplishmenti?,pd?sess^d of rare fancy and taste, a vetoptile and briii'aot writer, whose talents i^&lly equaled by her energy ana perseverance.

They number about eighty, rank and file, and will takje the cars homeward this morning. It is much to be regretted that the severity of the winter in Kansas, added to tlK almost impossibility of procuring remunerative labor, compels our Southern volunteers 10 roiraco uicir steps, and temporarily abandon a good and patriotic cause. Thoir leader, however, General Jones, of South Carolina,assures as thatjt is the intention of himself and a majority of the com panics to return to the Territory next spring ?provided the same necessity for their services may be required there as now and heretofore. All honor, then, to the galland bands that leUve their own vines and fig trees to battle in defence of their country's cause ! All honor, also, to the warm hearted and natri otic repreprosentatives from the lluntsville, Alabama, district in Congress, Col. W. K. W. Cobb, who, finding these Southern brethren short of the funds requisite to take them home, freely volunteered and furnished some $300, as a loan, to accomplish this praise-worthy object ! We know Col. Cobb to be a true, warmhearted and noble specimen of the Southern gentleman?ready alike to follow the dictates of a gdfcorous disposition, and to advocate with earnest zeal the interests of nu n|i|/icunuvc CUIISlllUCIICy. He has been making an extensive tour since the adjournment of Congress through all the Northern and Eastern States, as well as Kansas and Nebraska Territories, doing good and effective service for his country's interests?and now, with the consciousness, at least, of a faithful struggle for the rights of his own Southern home, under the Constitution, ho returus to receive the approbation of his Alabama Constituents. ] ?y the way, we call to mind with pleasure and gratitude the circumstance that mainly through the exertions of Col. Cobb, Congress granted to the State of Alabama, just before adjournment, about two millions neriis of lli? lnn/lc I vnnccmcnt of her railroad interests. i Oiir Memphis and Charleston road comes in for her share of the liberal donation, to the amount of about two hundred acres. To the polite and accommodating oflicials of said road, we therefore say, in the name of a grateful community, "Gentlemen, shake Colonel CobVs haud dear through to his Alabama home" and thank your sister State that she sends to Congress Representatives so mindful of the great and momentous interests of ourcommon country.

After kuecling to receive the pack-saddle, a most cumbrous load of itself, but such as arc used in the country from which they came, a load of corn was placed on me animal's back, sufficient for two mules to draw in a wagon, with which ho started off at a good round pace. A dromedary was next led out, which is the saddle aniuial of the camel, and after kneeling to receive the saddle, he was mounted by an Arab, who started off across the prairie at a pace which seemed to me not much short of a two forty lick. This paco they can keep up for hours in succession, travelling with perfect ease from eighty to one hundred miles per day.

Truly a Hard Oaso. Obe Stephens, formerly tbo eccentric representative in the Assembly from Steuben, who now keeps a Hotel in Ilornsville, tells a very good story at the expense of our Fremont friends. Not long since a very good looking young woman stopped at Obe's house and called for a room saying that her husband would call sliortly, when she wished him to be shown up. Soon after, a burly dandified "collored pusson" called and inquired for his wife. Obe told him she could not have stopped there, as there was only one female guest in the house, and she was a very fine looking 1. !i - 1-1 ? wiiiiu JHuy. "Dat's her?dat's her," said the sable dandy. Obe thought there must be somo mistake, so he went to the lady's room, and informed her that a "cussed nigger" was down below who claimed to be lier nnsband. She miictlv infnrmofl liim flint flio gemm'n" was in reality her husband, and that she wished him sent up to her room. "The d?1!" exclaimed Obe, with astonishment ; is it possible that as good looking a woman as you would marry a nigger ?" She assured him it was a fact, and added : "I married much better than my sister did after all?" "You did !" responded Obe; "who in thunder did she marry ?" "Why,"' replied the lady, with great disgust, "she is mm. led to a Fremont man ?" The ex-representative acknowledged tbo corn, and extended to the "mixed pair" the beat the house could afford.

"Well," said the doctor, "if I undertake T .1 > ' - ;vu. wnu, x buau ue obliged to impose one condition?and that is rather a hard ono for you to comply with." "What is it ?" said the Cuban. "That you entirely cease smoking until I give you permission to resume." "Never, I had rather let the thing kill me. What pleasure is there in life if one cannot smoke ?" The doctor was a smoker himself, and felt some sympathy. So he said : "Well, perhaps that is beyond your powoer. But VOU must snlnmnl.. :? v .wiuiii^ I'luiuiee ine 10 snioko but one cigar per day, or I will not undertake your case." The Cuban promised; it was his oDly chance. Four or five days afterwards tho doctor thought he would call upon hira as ho passed his house, and thus save him a walk to the office for the day. He walked up stairs?knocked?"Come in"?behold iuo uuban with a cigar eighteen inches long and a proportionate thickness!

Sleep.?There is no fact more clearly establisod in the physiology of man than this, that tho braiu expends its energies and itself during hours of wakefulness, and that these are recuperative during sleep; if the recuperation does not equal the expenditures, the brain withers ; this is insanity.: Thus it is, that in early English history, persons who were condemned to death, bv being prevented from sleeping, always died raving maniacs ; thus it is, also, that those who are starved to death become insane the bruin is not nourished and they cannot sleep.
