AUSTRIA,

VIENNA, SEPT. 21, Evening.

The Abendpost (evening edition of the official
Wiener Zeitung) in a leading article upon the Im-
perial Manifesto, states the motives for suspending
the validity of the fundamental law upon the Re-
presentation of the Empire.
TheAbendpost points out the impracticable nature
of the fundamental law upon the Representation
proclaimed in the February patent, and declares the
course now about to be pursued to be the only pro-
per mode of arriving at an understanding with
Hungary and Croatia :
_

" The suspension of the fundamental law on the
Representation by no means involves the suspension
of the Constitutional state of things throughout
the Empire generally, for the February patent does
not of itself form the constitution of the monarchy,
which, as is even expressed in Art. 6 of that Patent,
consists of the collection of fundamental laws, some
revised that were previously in force, and others
others newly enacted.
" That the constitutional state of things through-
out the monarchy will not be suspended is also gua-
ranteed by the provincial diets being called to con-
stitutional activity at the moment of the suspension
of the fundamental law. But the suspension of the
working of the Reichsrath necessarily involves that
of the lesser Reichsrath, whose continuance would
be absolutely impossible. . The constitutional syik,
tem granted by the Emperor will now only become
a fact, and the obstacles which have opposed its
realisation will be removed."
VIENNA, SEPT. 22.

The official Wiener Zeitung of to-day reproduces
an article of the General Correspondenz, stating that
a new Austrian loan will be contracted through
M. M. Rothschild and some English capitalists.

RUSSIA.
ST. PETERSBURG, SEPT. 22.

The Journal de St. Petersbourg of to-day says :
" The views expressed by the Moniteur respecting
the reserve maintained by Russia on the question of
the Duchies are unjust. Russia has from the be-
ginning not concealed her opinion of the conflict
between Denmark and the two German Powers,
which she considered had notremained on the ground
of European treaties. She did not, however, think
proper to encourage the Danish Government in
illusions that could not be realised. Russia does not
like words where corresponding deeds no not follow.
Russia will act as she did two years ago, whenever
her interests shall require it. But it is her own
affair to judge whether the necessity for acting
exists."

FRANCE•
PARIS, SEPT. 22.

The Moniteur of to-day says :
" The newspapers are occupied with predictions
of a change in the members and policy of the
Government, and go so far as to fix the 14th
October as the day when these events will take
place.
"We are authorised to declare that these
rumours have no foundation whatever.

" They are the invention of evil-disposed persons."

-do—
(From the Huntsville Advocate, Aug. 31)

Mr. D. M. Martin has handed to us the following
letter from General Sherman to him (Mr. Marvin),
which we beg our readers to read carefully :--
"Head-quarters Military Division of the Mississippi,

_
in the Field near Atlanta.
" Georgia, Aug. 10, 1864.
" Daniel. M. Martin, Sand Mountain,
opposite Bellefonte.
" My dear old Friend,—When in Larkinsville
last winter I inquired after you and could get no
positive answer. I wish you had sent me your letter
of Jan. 22--which I have just received, for I could
have made you feel at ease at once. Indeed, do I
well remember our old times about Bellefonte, and
the ride we took to the corn-mill and the little farm
where I admired the handsome colt and tried to buy
it. Time has worn on, and you are now an old
man, in want and suffering, and I, also, no longer
young, but leading a hostile army on the very road
I came when I left Bellefonte, and at this moment
pouring into Atlanta the dread missiles of war—
seeking the lives of its people. And yet lam the
Same William Tecumseh Sherman you knew in 1844,
with as warm a heart as ever, and-anxious that peace
and plenty shall prevail in this land ; and to prove
it I defy Jefferson Davis, Gen. Lee, or Gen. Hood
to make the sacrifice for peace that I will personally
and officially. I will to-day lay down my power and
my honour—already won—will strip myself naked,
and my child and wife—stark naked in the world as we
came, and begin life anew, if the people of the South
will but cease the war, elect their members of Con-
gress, and let them settle by argument and reason
the questions growing out of slavery, instead of try-
ing to divide our country into two angry halves, to
quarrel and fight to the end of time. Our country
cannot be divided by an east and west line, and must
be one, and if we must fight let us fight it out now,
and not bequeath it to our children. I was never a
politician, but resigned from the army and lived in
California till 1857, when I came back with my wife
and three children, who wanted to be near home—
Mr. Ewing's, not Mr. Corwin's—but I had the old
army so ground in my composition that civil pur-
suits were too tame, and I accepted an offer as Pre-
sident of the Louisiana Military Academy. There-
fore, at the time of Lincoln's election I was at
Alexandria, on Red River. I saw, and you must have
seen, that the Southern politicians wanted to bring
about secession, separation. They could have elected
Mr. Douglas, but they so managed that Lincoln's elec-
tion was made certain, and after they had accomplished
this was it honest and fair for them to allege it was a
cause of war ? Did not Mr. Breckenridge, as Vice
President, in his seat declare Mr. Lincoln the law-
fully elected President of time United States ? Was
it ever pretended the President was our Govern-
ment ? Do not you know the Congress make the
laws, the Supreme Court judges them, and the Pre-
sident only executes them ? Do not you know that
Mr. Lincoln, of himself, could not take away your
rights ? Now, I was in Louisiana, and while the
planters and mechanics and industrial people were
happy and prosperous, the politicians and busybodies
were scheming and plotting, and got the legislature
to pass an ordinance of 'secession, which was sub-
mitted to the people, who voted against it, yet the
politicians voted the State out, and proceeded to
take possession of the United States mint, the forts,
the arsenal, and tore down an old flag and insulted
it. That, too, before Mr. Lincoln got to Washing-
ton. I saw these things, and begged Bragg, and
Beauregard, and Governor Moore, and a host of
personal friAids, to beware. In that was high trea-
&.on. But they answered, the North was made up
of mean manufacturers, of traders, of farmers, who
would not fight. The people of the North never
dreamed of interfering with the slaves or property
of the South. They simply voted, as they had a
right to do, and they could not understand why the
people of the South should begin to take possession
of the United States forts and arsensals until our
Government had done something wrong, something
oppressive. The South began the war. You know
it. I and millions of others living in the South know
it, but the people of the North were as innocent of
it as your little grandchildren. Even after forts had
been taken, public arms stolen from our arsenals and
distributed about the angry militia, the brave and
honest freemen of the North could not realise the

fact, and did not until Beauregard began to fire on
t garrison of the United States troops in a fort built
by the common treasury of the whole country.
Then, as by a mighty upheaval, the people rose and
began to think of war, and not till then. I
resigned my post in Louisiana in March, 1861, be-
cause of the public act on the part of the state in
seizing the United States' arsenal at Baton Rouge,
and went to St. Louis, where I readily got lucrative
employment, hoping that some change would yet
avert the war. But it came, and I and all of mili-
tary education had to choose. I repeat that then,
AS now, I had as much
tlove for the honest people
of the South as any man living. Had they remained
true to the country I would have resisted, even with
arms, any attack upon their rights—even their slave
rights. But when, as a people they tore down our
old flag, and spat upon it, and called us cowards,
and dared us to the contest, then I took up arms
to maintain the integrity of our country, and punish
the men who challenged us to the conflict. Is not
this a true picture ? We must maintain
the integrity of our country. And the day will
come when the little grandchild you love so well
will bless us who fought that the United States of
America should not sink into infamy and worse
than Mexican, anarchy by the act of Southern
politicians, who care no more for you or such as
lOU than they care for Hottentots. I have never
underrated the magnitude of this war, for I know
he size of the South and the difficulty of operating
in it.. But I also know that the Northern races

lave ever since the war began had more patience

tnd perseverance than the Southern races. And so
,t will be now—we will persevere to the end. All
nankind shall recognise in us a brave and stubborn

race, not be deterred by the magnitude of the
'anger Love to Mrs. Martin.
"W. T. SHERMAN, Major-General."

THE CASE OF THE REV. SAMUEL HAWORTH.-
With reference to the conviction of a Norfolk clergyman
or assaulting a young woman, reported in our Tuesday's
mpression, it is understood that the Bishop of Norwich
has suspended the defendant, the Rev. Samuel Haworth,
rum the exercise of his ministerial functions, pending an
:nquiry which his lordship has resolved upon instituting,
regarding the allegations made against him by, the
•xmlplainant in giving her evidence when before the
nagistrates.

The Courrier de Marseilles relates a curious
story :—" A noble lady, owner of a chateau not far
'rein Aix, has been taking against the epidemic certain
?recautions of which she had little need, considering the
listance of her residence from infected places, and the
salubrious air of her fertile. valley. Her property is sur-
uunded by a wall, with which a town in the middle ages
night well be content. The gates have loopholes, and
firmed peasants, sharing the terrors of their mistress, keep
constant guard. Things aro managed as at Messina and
i?alermo; whenever any imprudent person knocks at the
sate, he may have the satisfaction of seeing through the
loopholes a number of guns pointed at him, and of hearing
ruugh invitation to pass ou. Letters directed to this
Lutique manor-house are picked up with a pair of tongs,
find fumigated. Near the gate there is a pavilion where
relations and friends pass quarantine, and it is only after
repeated purifications that they are admitted into the
chateau."
