OVERWORK may be coinited among the new diseases that have made their appearance in these days, when everything is done like feats of strength or a match against time. The able and willing are induced by every means to put their energies on the stretch to meet the demands of the public. Workmen of every grade, from the man who uses his brain to the simplest labourer with his bodily strength, feel this strain, and often break down under it, wherever, as in crowded cities, in-door occupations prevail. This is set down by the Medical Officer of Health as one of the industrial diseases. In many instances, in the overwork of men who are their own masters, it is difficult, if not impos sible, for the Legislature to find a remedy, but we cannot help thinking that young persons and women, who form • class of the employed liable to much extortionate treat ment under merciless taskmasters or parents, ought to have protection from this destroying in fluence. It is not humanity only that suggests this, for we have only to reflect that these are the classes that will transmit, more or leis, the defects of organization which inevitably result from overtaxing the natural powers, and thus con tinue the evil. The principle of protection of this kind has been recognised by the Legislature, and acted upon to an important extent by the Factory Acts, but it is well known that there are many trades carried on in fami lies and in small working establishments that at present come under no supervision ; and even the tailors and dressmakers, who have to a certain extent beenbrought under sanitary law, are very generally overworked in the absence of any interference of the law. Printers stand at the head of the overworked classes ; and as a necessary consequence we find them in the Rec.'s- Tass-Gzylest's tables returned under the highest I figures of an excessive mortality. The London printer, it appears, is worn out in rather leas than half the average time of life of the agricultural labourer, notwithstanding he is • much better fed man. The printer, it appears also, is liable to disease from handling the type, and from the dust, which is found on analysis to contain lead, copper, and antimony, with a trace of arsenic. No class of operatives has a higher claim to consideration from the public than the printer, yet hitherto he has derived remarkably little benefit from improvements in sanitary arrangements, and unfortunately his position is one of the most difficult to deal with, as his overwork is a volun tary imposition. But, granting the bad effects of overwork, then this molt important question arises— How much of the injury to life is due to over work, and how much to the unhealthy conditions under which that work is carried on f We are inclined to think that work does not often kill when the body is fairly cared for ; it is when the workman, from his own carelessness or ignorance, or that of his employer, is deprived of the fresh air, proper food, and cleanliness necessary to keep the body in good working order. In the train of these common causes of industrial disease come all the pernicious and demoralizing habits of drinking stimulants "to keep up the steam." The victims to these causes are probably far more numerous than those who succumb to the diseases inseparable from the trade they follow, such as the lead and mercury workers, and the green arsenical paint workers. With regard to all these directly hurtful trades, however, Mr. SIMoN gives hie opinion that the subject requires " more particular consideration " than it has yet received," and suggests whether the processes of manufacture " ought not to be diacou " Untied or modified." Great difficulty, we are told, was experienced in getting at any informa tion in these cases either from the principals or the men employed, and probably the real amount of injury is not known. This is clearly a matter for authoritative inquiry, to ascertain that " the first " sanitary right" of workpeople is enjoyed by them, no matter what the cost may be to the em ployer. They are "practically unable to exact " sanitary justice for themselves," says Mr. Si mos ; this has been their condition ever since the system of sanitary inspection has been adopted by the State, and remains, notwithstanding that the official reports have repeated the same facts every year. The Medical Officer of Health has been expound ing ever since 1858 his scientific law that, " in pro " portion as the people of a district are attracted to " any collective in-door occupation, in such proper " tion, other things being equal, the district death .. - . " rate by lung diseases will be increased." The mor tuary statistics confirm this law irresistibly ; the re turns show that amongst the muses of in-door workers lung diseases carry off victims in the youth and prime of life at more than double the rate found to prevail in agricultural districts. In Leek, Macclesfield, Bolton, Nottingham, Roch dale, and Derby, for every 100 deaths in rural districts by lung disease there are from 182 to 198 ; while in Ashton-ander-Lyne, Leeds, Preston, and Manchester there are from 203 to 263. In other places where specially injurious trades— metal forgers, cutlers, and potters—are practised on a large scale, the death-rate mounts up to eight times that of healthy districts. And this deploc- THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, iIiPTEMBER 8, 1884. " able result comes out still more strongly, if the test is applied to places where young girls are the chief workers, as in lace-making, straw-plaiting, gloving, and silt-working. Here the ravages of cchisumption and other diseases caused by close air and poor food are frightful to think of. Mr. Simon speaks of the " sad testimony borne as to 1 " the atrocious sanitary circumstances under " which much of our silk-industry is conducted ;" and, generally speaking, these employments " for-1 1 " niah the moat pitiable illustrations that can be 1 ` conceived of the cruel sanitary circumstancesl " under which bread may have to be earned." The condition of the London dressmakers is almost equally bad ; they are in the habit of working twelve hours a day, almost universally in a apace too confined for healthy existence, and in rooms full of heated gas vapours, forming an atmosphere not only insufficient for healthy life, but positively poisonous. The corresponding occupy- 1 tion in men is actually worse. London tailors are I crammed into all aorta of places only to be described as kennels and cellars, with gaslights enough to com plete the mischief, and here in sixteen out of the most important West-end shops 105 cubic feet wu the average space for each man to work in. In one large room more than 100 men were at work, under the heat of many gaslights, in a apace of 150 cubic feet to each. Such a state, says Dr. &arm, the inspecting physician, "is without " parallel in workshops in other trades." We bad hoped that the sewing machine would have ' done something for the poor dressmakers, and re lieved the tailors from an employment totally unfit for men, but it does not appear that the invention has yet worked any considerable results in this di rection. The machine tailors and dressmakers are employed in the same crowded and ill-ventilated rooms, the machine having, according to the in evitable law, only increased the amount of work to be done. It will be seen, from the various statements of the Report on Public Health which we have brought together, that the intentions of the Legislature set in force by the Factories Act apply but very indi rectly to the general condition of the working classes ; the question is evidently one of much larger scope than the mere regulation of the hours and duration of labour in certain great de partments of manufacture. The sanitary rights of labour demand a much wider application of the principle, and it will sooner or later be found that the public well-being requires the fullest application of those means of pre• serving and protecting the life of the popula tion which the science of health teaches us to employ. Publicity, as suggested by the Report before us, may act in some measure as a tempo rary and partial remedy ; but it is to be hoped that Government will act upon the forcible recom mendation with which their Officer of Health ends his summary ;—" That in principle the sanitary " claim is universal ; and in the interest of my riads of labouring men and women whose lives are now needlessly afflicted and shortened by the infinite physical suffering which their severe em ployment engenders, that universally the sani tary circumstances of labour may, at least, so 'far be brought within appropriate provisions of "law, that the effective ventilation of all in-door " work-places may be insured, and that in every "naturally insalubrious occupation the specific " health-endangering influence may, as far as prao " ticable, be reduced." ~_ .

It l, is ohm% is what we will do, tad not is what me have 0009 doss, that oar thwidat Um. A "special" despatch to the New York Times, dated Washington, August 26, says :—" A gentle man has arrived in this city from Georgia, who came by way of Atlanta, with permission of Gen. Sherman, and who represents that State govern ment. Re desires to learn upon what basis the United States government will treat with the State of Georgia for readmission into the union. Thie l action of the Georgia authorities is had without re_ ference to the balance of the Southern Confede racy." The Executive Committee of the National Re publican Committee had a long session at Wash ington on the 26th. So far from there being any probability whatever of President Lincoln with drawing from the canvas as some have suggested, the gentlemen composing the committee express themselves confident of his re-election. General Fremont, writing to some friends, says :—" Much has been said of late about peace, and you will, therefore, excuse me if I say here what I under stand by it. For me peace signifies the integral establishment of the Union without slavery, because slavery is the source of all our political dissensions and because the institution itself is condemned by the enlightened and liberal spirit of the age. These are to be the essential conditions of peace." A Chicago despatch, of the 26th, has the follow ing particulars respecting the arrivals there for the Democratic Convention Chicago. August 26, 1864. Governor Seymour and the baliuseeof the New York dela' pike arrived hat agreeing. There waa a perfect ovation on their joureey from Detroit, with firing of gene and speeches at almost every station. Every demonstration closed with sheen for M'Clellan. Mr. Theyer, of Troy, several times asked the crowd who they wasted nominated—Seymosr, Fill more, or Waellan ! The cry was always emphatically, M'Clellan. The only opposition to little Mac to-night is from the two Woods, Vallandigham's body guard, end Singleton of Climb. The Woods do sot pretend to speak for the East, but are constantly sinning that the West will not support M'Clellan. Vallandigham is onsiderably toned down, but some of his delegation are still rampant. The Kentucky delegation, with Hamilton Pope, one of its leaden, an strongly pleading for the nomination of M'Clellan, and de clare that nine out of every ten citizens of that State out side of Louisville are for him. The same view is taken by ex-Governor Campbell, of Tennesens. The former de clares that the only thing that Colonel Woolford is kept under arrest for is because he declared his support for M'Clellan. Dean Richmond is jubilant, and a:preens his positive convictioa that Mac will be the nozniese. IMOSAIZZ. FROM'. W 14011S1111111 BASCIDAT. W.B.W. to N.N.W.

(Preen the New York World, Acted 2 7.) The Victoria had a long and tedious passage screws the Atlantic of six weeks, lacking one day. She met with • constant succession of bead winds, with occasional spells of stormy weather. This long surpasses does not seem to bare in any way affected the spirits or health of the alleged murderer. He is described by his fellow-passea gers as being generally sociable sod pleasant; though sometimes disposed to be overbearing to the verge of insolence. Perhaps he did not exactly understand the nature of the epithets he would apply to men with whom he might disagree, and the mongooses was that he got into one or two difficulties. He called one young fellow a "liar and robber;' for which be was knocked down and received a black eye. The person who occupied the same room with him, a large, pleasant-look. log, elderly Englishman, informed our reporter ►hat Muller, though generally pleasant enough, was some ' whet disposed to put on sirs ; frequently would say, to such of my fellow-pamengers as might come in, " This is my cabin." He said also that he often, in punish meet of Muller's profanity, had to administer • blow with the back of his arm. Theme disagreeable manifestations, however, were not very serious, and did not prevent his beteg rather popular than otherwise. Hie appearance, all admit, was rather gentlemanly —more so then that of most of the pas angers. One of them, a burly, athletic Eng lishman, said to our reporter, "He was • gentlemanly. looking, sociable chap ; hi would take harry man hon board to be the murderer rather than lm ; hi am • ruffian to what 'e is.' It was matter of common remark among the puesogen that the murderer who killed the man on the railway was probably on board of the Victoria, because of the constant bead-winds and tedious voyage they saps rieooed, but no suspicion for • =meat rested on Muller. The room-mate of Muller states that he at one time so remarked to his companion, and that be laughingly seaweed, as if ridiculing the super stition. Muller had no money with him at all, and was put to various shins to raise small sums for extra expeosse which he now and then incurred. On one occasion he offered for • wager to eat live pounds of German sausages, but failed in the endeavour. He was tried by • mock court-martial for waist leg the sausage, and was sentenced to treat the company with bottled porter. To pay for the porter he had to hypothecate two shirts, sad these he sub sequently redeemed with the proceeds of the sale of a spare cost he had with him. He amounted for his shortnees of pecuniary supplies by telling slim he was • tailor who weeping to America on hominess far hie employer ; that his passage had been paid far him ; that he received regular wages ; and he was to find 25/. to hiscredit when he arrived at New York. This explanation wee plausible enough, and wee received without question. He was very fond of eating and drinking, and seed to sped • great deal of time cooking various little delicacies for himself. All his roommate ex pre seed it, " he was very food of his belly and was always eating." The ring which he is said to have obtained in exchange for some article taken from hie supposed victim, and which the detectives failed to find amonpthie effecte,his roommates say he lost while on board the vowel. He bad averred that he put it by mistake into the pocket of • coat beloogiag to mother passenger, but no trace of it could be discovered. On Wednesday, while passing the light s►ip, so excur sion boat, crowded with a Osamu" party from this city, met and passed the Victoria. Muller wan standing with his roommate and soother passenger watching the boat from the ship's quarterdeck. Some of the ex cursionist" seeing the OWN of the Victoria, shouted, ‘' How are you, Muller His oompanioas distinctly heard the words, bat did not understand their import. Mulle r did not display the slightest sign of emotion, and it is pro beige that he also failed to oomprehend the meaning of the salutatica. lit he did, it shows in a dm; light his indif ference or callogisaeas, or remarkable self-poems- Woo—whichever quality the incident may be held to Illustrate. Our reporter'. informant stated that at the time, if Muller could swim, there was nothing to have prevented his escaping overboard and ewimming to the shot.. This seems not to have been the fact, however, as Captain Champion bad a few minutes previously been apprised of his having s murderer on board, and bad pu t Muller under the strictest surveillance without himself o r the passengers being aware of it, As the officers came on board, the pusengers, forty-eight in number, were ranged in line along the deck. Mt. Death and Mr. Matthews almost immediately identified him. Officer rietnann thereupon laid hold of him, announcing, " You are my prisoner." " What am I arrested for r said Muller quickly, seem. log very much surprised. " Yor murder," was the reply, and he was further in- formed that the murder of Mr. Brigp, in the Loudon rail way car, was referred te. " I did not do it. I was not there, and lam prove it," was the response. After his arrest he seemed Waimea:id gloomy, not speak *to any one or noticing any person. He was pineal in cabin under guard. His trunk was then searched, and the watch said to he takes from the person of Briggs, together with a hatsuppoesd to have been worn by him ( Brigp) at the time, was found in it. Muller said he bed purchued the watch from a man whom he had met on the wharf when about purchasing hie parse ticket. The pri soner was kept on board the venal all night, and yesterday morning conveyed to the police beed-quarteru Muller is apparently about 25 years of age, of medium height. well built, light complexioned, with light hair and eyes and smooth face. He appeared very morose and gloomy, de. dialog to mover's with any of the numerous visitors who called in to see him. EXAMINATION OF THE PRISONER AT THE POLICE-COURT. The hearing in the extradition case of Franz Yeller, charged with the murder at Yr. Thomas Briggs is e first clam railway carriage, neer Landes, as the 9th July DA was reamed as the 26th in the United States Dia triot Court, before Mr. Commissioner Newton. The _ _ crowded condition of the court-room wanted the great in. tenet manifested in the rue. Mr. Beebe, who had been assigned ee counsel for the ac cused, not being present, there wait some delay in com mencing the proceedings. Mr. Edwin Blankman, after a brief oonsultatiou with the prisoner, stated to the court that the accused expected his sister to be present, and would then make some arrange ment as to counsel. The Commissioner (to the accused)—ls your sister hero ! The moused (standing tip end holding a blue cotton band. kerchief in Co. of his hand*. and speaking with • slightly foreign aocent)—l am expecting her, air. The Commissioner—Has your sister any friends hero! The accused—l do not know, sir, she came to this wintry by herself. The Oormnissioaer—Well, I will assign Mr. Schaffer and Mr. Weakens" as comae% if there be no objection. Both them gentlemen being in court they accepted the charge turd took their seats at the table where the prisoner was seated. He is of small stature and slightly built. He wore a dark tweed shooting jacket, • dark waistcoat buttoned high up, and • whit* beck tie, and has somewhat the ap pearance of an English cutler. His eyes are small, and so deeply eat that at a few yards distance from him one can only see the shadow of the brows. The fan is a narrow oval, and has neither whiskers nor moustache. The hair is gaits light and le carefully combed. There is nothing about hie appearammindicatiog say murderous propensity : on the contrary, he would pees anywhere for • quiet inoffensive person. He keep his lips closely compressed, and betrays no signs of emotion. On the other side of the table, beside Hr. Marbury, counsel for the British government, sat Mr. Tanner, the inspector of detective patios at Loudon, ea open-faced in telligent looking meat Mr. Harrower', the local inspector of metropolitan polies, was also present, together with several of the Heel& witamotie. After some little delay to pi -snit counsel to wafer with their sliest, Mr. Yarbary stated the cireomstaaoss wader which he asked for a warrant of ashreditioe against the accused. By the terms of the invety between the United States and Great Britain, of August 9, 1842, it is provided that pennons fleeing from justice from the one eottah7, and being feted in the other charged with antain eaueserated crimes, may be demanded and shall be delivered lip as the production of such proof as would justify the commit ment of the offender for trial in the place whore appre hended. Under this treaty and the laws passed for carry ing it into effect, a requisition wee :ow asked that Franz Muller, the prisoner at the bar, who is charged with having murdered Thomas Brice, in the meaty of Middlesex, Landau, un the night of July 9, 1864, be surrendered up for trial Counsel briefly recapitulated the obtomitanoos of the murder, which need not be hem repeated, and be proposed to read the deposi tions of the witnesses taken in the was in London before Mr. Heavy, one of the police magistrates, and which were authenticated by the certificate of Mr. Adams, United States minister to the court of St. James. Mr.Schaffer—Am the persons who made those depositions to be crass-examined here Mr. Marbury—No. sir. Mr. Schaffer understood the ode to be that in crininal proceedings no ex puts affidavits are admitted. Mr. Marbury cited the act of Commie providing that de positions, warrants, or other papers or copies thereof shall be reamed in extradition came of property awl legolly authenticated, and making the certificate of the principal diplomatic or consular officer of the United States resident in the country where the offence was committed proof that the papers are properly authenticated. The Commissioner decided that the depositions in the nee certified by the American minister were competent evidence. The depositions were then offered and receirel is evi dasoo. Richard Tanner was examined by Mr. Marbury, and tes tified as follows :—I am inspector of the detective force, Metropolitan Police, Loam. My attention was int called to the case on the 10th of July. I wee directed by Sir Richard Mayne, Commissioner of Police, to undertake the inquiry. I went to Bow and put myself into commu. skean with the local police. I received there a hat from Inspector Kerressey. I have since kept it under lock and key ; it is now in London, at the office, in the siren; room. It is an ordinary black hat, bent and broken. It hes tie name of "T. H. Walker, 42, Crawford-street, Louden," as the maker. It appeared to here steles of blood upon it. I exhibited it to Mr. Matthews, who is here present. I was present at the taking of the depositions before the magistrate, Mr. Hoary, on the 19th of July. I saw him 'weer the witnewees, and saw them sign the depositions. Mr. Henry certified them after they were pat together ; he is the clad magistrate, and has been to my knowledge for 10 or 12 years. 1 have been opium-NI with the metropo litan police forte in London for 14 years. I rose from the ranks to my present position ; we all have to do that. 1 have been in the habit of seeing preliminary depositions io cues of crime in England on which warrants are issued. The depositions in this case are in the usual form. I received the depositions of the 19th July from the heads of Mr. Henry, the magistrate. They are the original depositions. I got them certified by Mr. Adams, the American minister. I produced the hat before Mr. Henry on the 19th of July, when these depositions were taken. I produced it to the witness Ames. It was in reference to it that Ames thetified. I showed it also to the cabman Matthews. I produce a pawn ticket here. I got it from the witness Haifa on the aftethooo of the 18th of July. It is the lams ticket to which Haifa refers in his depositioa. There were also pro duced on the examination a walkingatick and black bag which had belonged to Mr. Briggs, and the card-box spoken of by Mr. Death, the jeweller. I examined the convert meet of the railroad car, and observed the cushions covered with blood. I woe present at the coroner's inquest, sad saw there the body of Mr. Briggs. The paper I now pro. duce is a proclamation offering 300 i. reward foe the appre hension of the murderer. It was blued by me on the 16th of July in Luau. I got the description of Mr. Brigp's watch from the watchmaker at Hackney, who bad cleaned it not long before. I was referred to him by Mr. Briggs's son. It is described as a large, old-fashioned, gold, lever watch, open face, with the number and maker's same. Counsel for amused objected to hearsay evidence as to the description of the watch. Objection sustained. Crossaxamined by Mr. Schaffer—l was not acquainted with Mr. Brigp in his lifetime. I bad never sun him In I saw the body at the inquest. I do sot know of my we knowledge that it wee the body e Mr. Briggs. I ap plied no teat to determine whether the dais' on the bat were stain. of blood. I do not know how many persons occupied the compartment of the car in which Mr. Brigp had a seat. From Bow to Hackney-wick is about three miles. I know nothing of the appointment of Mr. Henry, the magistrate. _ . _ Wilier Kerrassay examined by Mr. Marbury—l am inspeetec of the K division of the Metropolises' Police, stationed at Bow. My attention was first called to this case on the morning of &today, July 10. 1 saw Ids. Briggs both before end after his death. I sent a constable to the Camden-town station for the hat and received it from him. I have been demoted with the metropolitan police of London over 14 years. I know Mr. Henry, chief magistrate at Boweneet, about 12 years. I was present when all these depositions were taken before him at Bowatrost on the tiled of July, 1864 ; the WiialONlS were sworn by Mr. Henry, and signed their depositions before him. This is Mr. Henry'. certificate. I received these original depositions from his heads, and I brought them with me to this coon try. There was a hat produced before Mr. Beery on the Plod July. It was the same that I got from the evadable. I gave it to Inspector Tanner. 1 re member the deposition of Mr. Ames, one of the railroad guards. The bat was exhibited to him, and be testified to its being the same that he found in the railway carriage. I alao showed the hat to Elisabeth Rinsch, and it is the one to which she refers in her deposition. I also pro &teed a gold dein ; I produce it now, also the hook be longing to the chain, end a smell ring. I received the chain hem Mr. John Death. The hook 1 saw taken off the dammed by his son. The small ring I received from Mr. Bromine, the surgeon. It in one to which be testifies to his deposition. The chain is the on. to which the wit nesses, Mr. Thomas James Briggs, Mr. Buchac, and Mr- Robert Death referred to. There was a new chain presented to Elizabeth Repech on her examination. It was produced by Young, the pawnbroker's clerk. It was in reference to it that she and Haifa and Robert Death testified. The cant box was also exhibited on the 22nd of July. . . Croes•eramioed by Mr. Sc.haffre—The examination of the witnesses on the 22nd of July occupied about seven boon. I received the depositions from Yr. Henry. sad pee them to the superieteudent. I was not present when the Ameri• can minister pee his oertificate. The papers were returned to me by the superintendent. 1 am not acquainted with the signature of Mr. Adams. Mr7Marbary supposed that Mr. Adams's signature could be proved by Mr. Schaffer himself, as he had been his (Mt. Schaffer's) candidate for the vicar presidency. Mr. Schafer—Yee, bat I sever helped to hen a cheat of miss if I could help it. The ruled that the certificate of the United States Kidder, under the del of the legation, should be received in evidence. Mr. John Death, examined by Mr. Marbury—l reside at 55, Cheapside, London. lam • silversmith and jeweller, and have been in that huskier 32 years. The chain now handed to me I parchaeed as the morn* of the 11th of July from the prisoner.—[Hen Muller stood op to be identified.]—l was called into the shop by my brother. sod this chain was headed to me by him for me to value. I put it in the scales to weigh it. The prisoner looked to see me do it. I told him I would give him 31. 10• fait. He looked at another chain, which was priced 31. 155., but declined to pay the difference. I then showed him • chain at 31. se. which he agreed to take. I thee asked him what he would take for the 50., and he said a finger-nag. I showed him one at the price, having • comedian stole with • head engraved upon it. He fitted it o• his finger, and kept it. My brother headed me a paper box, on which was • label, having my sane and address, into which I pecked the chain I bad sold, and made a parcel of it, sad delivered it to the prisoner. He thee left the shop. I again saw that box on the following Monday night. It was given to me by Inspeotor Tanner. I identified the box as Wag the one that I had packed the chain into ; that is the same box that I saw at the magistrate's office at Bow street on the 19th.

After looking at them all I told Inspector Tanner that the second one WM the man. Do you feel say doubt whatever about his identity ! No ; wet the Watt whatever. Cross-eramised by Mr. Blankman —I do a pretty large business. I bad sever seen this mass before he produced the chain. There was so special mark about him by which to identify him. except his height sad the mend appar• anon of the man. I em sot able to say whether be had whiskers or not, but be had so moustache or heard. should may be was under the middle height. I should not call him a thickset man, but rather slight. LATABT INTMLIGENCIL AMERICA. By the Hansa we have files of New York papers to the 27th ult. The direct question of peace is scarcely alluded to by any other paper than the New York Herald, but the approaching draft and the meeting of the Chicago Convention are regarded as together con stituting what the New York Times calls "the crisis of the country." The Richmond Dispatch of the 22nd ult. says "the New York Herald advised Lincoln, the other day, to send commissioners to treat of peace without raising the blockade or withdrawing the troops ;" but that it was nothing more than a trick to take the wind out of the sails of the peace party; that "we regard the cry which some of the press of the Con federacy is raising for peace as fraught with mis chief ;" that " nothing could have • more direct tendency to encourage our enemy to persevere in the iniquitous war he is waging against us ;" that a compromise "is not possible, so far as we can see, and so far as boundaries are concerned ;" that "the Yankee government will not agree at this time to make peace without a huge slice from these territories ;" that "in Virginia it would insist upon what they call New Virginia (West Virginia), in addition to Old Point (Fortress Monroe) and Norfolk ;" that "in Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, or Maryland, they would claim the whole state," and that "else where their claims would be based upon the prin ciple of the uti posridetis." Then, as an answer to all this, this Richmond paper says that "the go vernment of the Confederate States can make no such treaty ;" that "it cannot cede any territory be longing to any of these States, each of which is a nation—a sovereignty as distinct as Great Britain or France ;" that the only peace it can make is that of "the complete independence and integrity of all the States"—that is, all the States claimed by the rebellion, including West Virginia, Kentucky, and Missouri. The New York Herald thereupon advises Presi dent Lincoln to treat with the rebellious States in detail, as with eo many independent nations, and let him thus begin a new peace movement with North Carolina. A majority of the legislature of that State just elected is said to be in favour of peace and reunion. " Let President Lincoln, then, send down to Governor Vance liberal offers of peace for North Carolina on the condition of ber return to the Union—offers so inviting that her legislature will jump at them ; and let these offers embrace the request that Governor Vance will im mediately call his legislature together to consider these peace propositions, and considering the pre sent commanding position of General Grant, be tween Richmond and North Carolina, the most glorious results may be expected. North Carolina, we believe, can thus be detached from the rebellion, sad with this breach in the Davis confederation his sovereign state right of secession will speedily finish him and his mock confederacy." The New York papers, democratic as well as re publican, deny that General Grant's campaign is a failure. The Herald says : Grant's great campaign has been the most suocesaful of the war. He has driven Lee, with the finest army Scat the Ceuta:Jersey ever had, or ever will have, up and down and all over the state of Virginia ; he drove him from the Rapi dan to Richmond, and compelled him to go through that city ee if for life to hold its dependencies on the other aide ; tad be has again driven the greater part of Lee's forces out of Petersburg and Richmond, and down the Shenandoah Valley, to look for something to eat. Such failures as this of Grant's are to re-est►blish the supremacy of our govern. mat and pound the Confederacy to pieces ; and that is what the friends of the Confederacy Lave to find fault with in General Grant. Secession journalists in England, in the Southern States, and in the Northern States, see that if Grant continues in his present position but a few months longer the Confederacy is done for. They recognise in him the great man of this war. He has shown in such instances as the choice of Sherman and Sheridan a great knowledge of men. He has 'how!), as at Belmont, that he could take a small force into the field and handle it and fight with it splendidly. He hsa shown at fort Hoary, at Shiloh, at Vicksburg, and at Chattanooga how magnificently he can handle one large army ; and he has shows in the present year with what comprehensive ability he can direct the operations of several armies spread over the largest theatre of war that was ever unde r one man. And they know from them e►idences of his ability that, if the government supplies him with MOO, be will end the war before November. This is what distresses the aecession press, and induces it to cry out wind General Grant, in the vain hope that their clamour may affect the Northern people. The New York Times attaches the greatest import ance to the seizure and holding of the Weldon Railroad by General Grant : Its importaaos wine from the fact that it is a vital triumph in the way of isolating Richmond, and cutting off those lines of communication and supply which are absolutely esesatial to its existence as the centre sod camping-greeted of a great military force. Its value may be overrated. This we do not desire. It gives ua no great immediate result. It is by no means decisive. It may not be possible to hold what we have gained ; for Lee is a performer in this play of strategy as well u Grant. All we say is that we have pined an important and signal moms, of a character unite different from any of oar ether meat successes, and which has the greatest bearings, and promises the beet re. salts. We have mid this step is but one of several that mast be taken ; bat our latest advice. from Warren inform us that he holds his ground firmly, and late rebel advises convey the gratifying and significust intelligence that he bea already begun to operate upon the Danville Railroad—the only one, sines the It. of the Weldon Road, which Rich mood now has cousecting it with the States beyond Virginia. Let all true men be strong and hopeful. The end and victory will come by and by. The same paper has some very severe remarks on the general attempt to avoid the draft. If, it says, We were to judge of the disposition of the mass of men at the North from the desperation of some of the efforts which we wittier on the part of towns, counties, aid States eves, to escape the dr►ft, we might fairly conclude that, if it were possible, our next army would be entirely composed of the sweepings of emigrant Alps, of negro slaves, aid of any other refuse we could pick up, and—here is the worst of it—of that noble remnant of the old army who , faithful to the last, have gone back after three pen of hardship and danger, to face the storm once more. There is hardly • county in the North at this moment which i• not busy sailing bonds in order to buy up for service in the army the wont military material to he found in the western world—foreign mercenaries and liberated sham The call of the government for man is the signal, not for • rash to arms, but for • prodigious seratchiag of pens, and issuing of evidences of indebtedness." Every body who cau, take up his cheque-book—not his sword— and meets the provost-marshal with • smiling patriotic face. These are unpleasant things to say, but it is unfortunately high time to say them. We have got to the point where ourdaepre most be looked in the hoe and talked about. And one of the first things to be said sod remembered is that the army in the field is not Linoolo's army, but ours ; that the prose cution of the war is our affair, not his. And, having laid this to heart, let us all be frank, and confess honestly that • people in such a state of mind as the Southerners, with armies of so much pluck, spirit, and eedurance, and so well led, as they put and keep in the Geld, cannot be subdued by say fares that is sot composed of the bale and sixes , of the North ; that is sot composed of men who will fight for love of the cause ; who have something more than • soldier's reepeet for the flag ; and who are animated by higher and better motives than any hired alien or Southern field hand can ever be. The country has already made pro digious and unprecedented exertions in the raising of armies; and if the fame sod credit of what it has already accomplished were sufficient to rout Lee and Road, we would strongly advise everybody to take his ease, and go on making money.

It is expected that this section of the railway will be meted to the public before the end of October. The official reception of the railway and the trial of the viaduct bridge over the Vat is to take place about the middle of the prompt month. The Swedish journals have for sofise days been nearly exclusively filled with dissertations on the necessity of the abolition of ospital punishment, originating in an ex ecution that took place in the neighbourhood of Stockholm. A murderer was condemued to he beheaded, and as there in no guillotine it was necessary that the sentence should be carried into effect with as axe. The elergynian who had been in attendance on the culprit had endeavoured is viii to induce him to repent of his crimes, nod when the time fixed for the execution arrived the murderer had literally to be dragged to the scaffold, where a shocking scene was presented, as he struggled so violently with the executioners that they could only with the greatest difficulty succeed in the peform►noe of their duty. Mr. Leighton is gone to Florence to superintend the erection of the monument to him Barrett Browning. _ . The Spanish Bishop of Seo de Urgel, under whose protection is placed the small republic of Aedorre, has just committed, during a pastoral visit, a strange act of tyrsoey.

AUSTRIA AND ITALY. The Indepenciance Belye of yesterday evening at taches some belief to a rumour that Austria is about to recognise the kingdom of Italy. The Independance regards this as an act of supreme ability. "By this measure," says the Belgian journal, " she would assure the tranquillity and the peaceable development of the Peninsula, and consequently her own security ; she would disarm up to a certain point the military party and would raise a new barrier against the party of action. Austria, thus freed from her worst anxieties, would have her bands free in Germany, and her finances would recover in the happiest manner." (zzurza's rim/cam's.) FRANCE. PARIS, Barr. B.

It is quite impossible that this position should be abandoned.
