Letters from Gernny speak Of the reaction which
has followed ON the hs OF the revolution, and show
great dependency the subject OF German unity
and German freedo, Many acts OF cruelty and
oppression are relad; but ] reserve for letter
which will write ,u from the Rhine, whittier
go the coming wee, some particulars purpose
giving you concernig the movements there Prus,
STA, you know, is ideavoring TO collect around
her, in smaller feeral compact than the late ex-
ploded one, the nohern German States-a mea-
sure looked upon Austria with suspicion and
jealousy.
Trade generally GEMS somewhat reyiving from
the complete depreion il has been in for the past
year and half Sll, what little demand there is
seems to be from whout. The French, for exam
pie are now CONSUMERS of very few OF their prlncl-
pal fabrics, comparatively speaking; they have been
too much impoyerhed by late events 10 consume
other than what is osolutely necessary.
To give you AN lea of the loss TO the population
by the revolution, II me state merely the loss by
the depression in rices upon the securities of the
State, which are hid mostly by the people. The
State bonds wrth, the day before the revolu-
ton of February las in round numbers, five thou

little more than ;vo thousand millions; and, In
year, the rise ha; teen to but about two thousand

Two Men SUFFocATED.--At the residence of DR.
Robertson, two miles from the city ON the Bards-
town road, two Irishmcn, named Thos. ReddinRton
and Michael Dulancy, were engaged in digging
well last week. They often compelled 10 re-
sort 70 blasting rock On Friday, after having blast
ed, Reddington, shortly after the explosion, went
down into The WELL against the advice of every one
present His long absence alarmed Duianey The
two were personal friends, and had been associates
for years. Dulaney thereupon descended into the
well ON ladder about six feet, and then looked
down into IL TO see If he could discover his friend
The impuriy of the air which he inhaled when look
ing down caused him TO lose his balance, and he
fell, sharing the same fate as Rcddington. To ex-
tricate them AZ soon possible, DR. Robertson had
water poured into the well TO purify the air. When
they were got out life was extinct and the APP
pesrance Of the bodies black. -Louisvile Jour.

The French Correspondence and the People

The French Correspondence and the People.
AT large and enthusiastic meeting, as
Sembled in the city Of Allegheny, on the
9th ult, the following resolutions were
presented by the Hon. M. Hampton, mem
Der elect of Congress from that district,
and adopted by reclamation. They are a
fair expression of popular feeling and
opinion in regard to the Poussin affair.
We have never known a correspondence
between our Government and foreign
minister submitted to the public, which
met with more universal and hearty APP
proval. The course pursued by Mr.. Clay
ton is every where considered as concila-
tory, dignifed and courteous, and the de-
termination Of the President is approved
with equal unanimity. There is not a
word in the correspondence from which
the slightest ill-temper on the part of the
American Government can be inferred
and the assertion made by a few of the
more INSCRIPTIONS and ultra partisan pa
pers, that NJ. Poussin's dismissal was pro
duced by other causes than those present
ed in the official papers, will find no sym
pathy with the people, as il has no foun-
dation in truth
Mr.. Hampton concluded by Offering the following
resolutions, which, together with those presented
by Mr. Swartzwelder, unanimously adopted
Hhoeds, We have read with deep interest the
recent correspondence between the Hon. j. NJ.
Clayton, Secretary Of State, and the French gov
eminent, and have calmly considered the question
involved in all It's consequences; therefore,
ResotDed, That we cordially approve Of the course
pursued by the President of the United States, in
dismissing the French minister, and refusing 10
hold any further official intercourse with him until
atonement be made for the insult offered our gov
ernmcnt.
Resolved That the correspondence ON the part of
our distinguished Secretary Of State was no less
characterized by ts courtesy, calnness and digni.
ty than by its clearness cusivcness and ability
and furnished not the slightest pretext for the in.
suits offered by the French minister and HE qoy.
eminent.
Resolved That while view peace ~ the true
policy Of this country, and deprecste war ~ a ma
tioual calamity, TO be avoided whenever il can b.
done consistently with national honor yet, in the
present posture of our affairs with France we be-
eve the President has done every thing in his
power compatible with the honor Of the country to
maintain peace. And should war ensue from the
arrogance or obstinscy of the French government,
we pledge ourselves to sustain our patriotic Presi-
dent 20 long az he demands only what is right and
refuses 10 submit To what is wrong.
Resolved, That the tariff Of 1916, being wrong in
principle and ruinous in practice is subvcrsive Of
the long cherished policy Of the Wings, who desire
the speedy restoration Of the tariff OF ls42
