ments already exist between st. Petersburg and
Gaeta il is certain that the evasive answers given
by the commission, and by the different pontifcal
agents with regard TO this important question, give
some consistency to this ruInor."
A letter from Naples, dated the evening Of the
4th, says
"The Pope arrived here this afternoon at four
O'Clock. The squadron which accompanied him
consisted of Neapoitan frgate, on board of which
his holiness, a Spanish frigate bearing AN add
miral's flag and the Vauban, French steamer.
These vessels were followed by other Neapolitan
steam frigates, and second Spanish frigate These
vessels, on entering the gulf. after having rounded
Cape Misena, did not Immediately steer for Por-
tici but they went round the bay and the quays of
the city far the entrance OF the port for mer
chant vessels, doubtless for the purpose of allowing
his holiness to enjoy the magnificent coup d'9l of
the city. During the whole evening the roads
echoed with the salutes fired from the vessels and
the fireworks let off the shore by the people, who
never miss an opportunity, were II even the tete OF
the humblest madonna, to fire of rockets and illu-
inmate their houses from top to bottom. The French
ships Ariel and Tancrede were dressed out with
flags"
Nasionale de Florence says that the Pope, in his
answer to the letter Of the French President, said
that, being able to rely ON two million bayo-
nets, which imposed on him no conditions, he pre-
ferred TO make of them, and consequently he
thanked the French, but at the same time desired
them to quit his dominions.
Letters from Rome of the 9Th instant mention
that the crisis there is becoming more menacing,
and rupture more imminent. II considered
probable that the cardinals would quit the city,
and that the Pope would end by placing himself
under the Austrian flag in the legations
Garibaldi has arrived at Genoa, where he will
remain till he can find an opportunity of quitting
Italy.
The last blow has been dealt upon Venice. The
privilege Of that city free port has been with
drawn. Austria has prescribed forty persons be-
longing to the civil state forever from the soil Of
Venice.
Germany.
The sanguine hope so long entertained by the
ultra party, that Hamburger and the other
Hanseatic towns would persevere in refusing to
join the Zollverein, has not been realized. Ham
burgh has yielded to the superior influence exerted
over her at Berlin, and no doubt exists that the
other Hanseatic towns will follow her example.
News from Berlin is to the 10th instant The
king had returned from Toplitz, where he had paid
visit to the Emperor of Austria. The king was
not accompanied during his journey by any of his
ministers.
Letters from Leipsic stated that there was every
prospect of the great fair being good one, from
the early influx of the purchasers from foreign
countries.

We have received Via Panama, our
regular packages of Chilian newspapers,
to the 5th of March, from which we
make the following extracts:
The great tide Of emigration which is
setting towards California from all parts
OF the Pacific coasts and the States has
aroused fear among the Chilians, that
unless active measures are taken, that
country will be left in the lurch.
ASnew vein of silver has been struck
among the mines of Copiapo, which
proves to be of astonishing richness. The
last steamer brought into Valparaiso over
million of dollars in silver from these
mines, besides five hundred thousand
dollars in gold from California At Co.
piapo the miners are excavatine in pure
silver. They advance hardly yard per
month, In consequence
The recent explorations at Copiapo
have given rise to the opinion that the
Chilian mines will yet rival, if not surpass
those of California.

And wake with joy the wild sea.shell.

THE NORTH sAND THE SOUTH,
Delivered before the Young Mems Mer-
camille Library Association of Cincin-
natl, Ohio, January 16, 1849.
BY ELwocD FISHER
The progress and prospects of the
Northern and Southern sections of this u
Mon involves some of the greatest and
grayest questions of the age. Each has
a form of civilization peculiar to itself,
and to modern times. The confederacy
which has been formed by their union
has astonished the world by it's success;
but the world, as well as the two Sec
tions themselves, differ very widely as to
the causes of this success, and the agen-
cy of the two respective systems of So
cjety in producing it.
This controversy has long been adj
vancing on the country, and now, in con-
sequence of recent events, it has become
general. In this part of the country,
however, we have had but one side; and
as the subject is one of the first magni-
tude, I have thought it highly impor-
tant that it should be well examined
In Commercial Institution like this, it
is peculiarly proper that the causes, of
the wealth aA>d the sources of the COM
merce of the country should be well un-
derstood.
When the Constitution of the United
States was adopted, the population of
the two sections of the United States
was nearly equal--eacil being not quite
two millions of inhabitants, the South
including more than half million of
slaves. The territory then occupied by
the two was, perhaps, also nearly equal
In extent and fertility. Their commerce
was also about the same; the North OK
porting about $9,SOO,54O in 1890, and
the South S9,2OO,50G.* Even the prop
erty held by the two sections was almost
exactly the samein amount, being about
100000 millions in value each, accord
ing to an assessment for direct taxes in
1907 For the first quarter of cen
tury Of the present government, up to
1910, the South took the lead of the
North il, Commerce: as at the end Of
that period thesexports of the Southern
States amounted to about thirty millions
Of dollars, which was FIVE millions more
than the Northern. At this time, in
1915, Soath Carolina and New York
were the two greatest exporting States
OF the Union, South Carolina exporting
more than $10, 100000, and New York
over $4,000, ,o0o.&
According to the assessments made by
authority of TIE Federal Govenraeyat in
1815sfor direct taxes, the yalue Of prop
ty in the Southern States lsad risen to
$85e,574,837, the white population be-
ing then, according to an average Of the
census of 1910 and that Of 1920, about
