OUR FOREIGN PoLIcY-MAssA GREELEY COMING
RoUND.-The principal matter in dispute between
the Nep York Herald and the cabinet, has been,
and continues to be, Mr. Clayton's weak and equi-
vocatng policy OF neutrality. We first detected
this ,emporizng with monarchy, in the case of the
German war steamer, in which an old musty law
was trumped up and put in requistion, to the scan
dial Of our republican institutions. The Cuba bu-
slness--the pretended sympathy with Hungary, fol-
lowed up by the outrage of complimentary mis-
sion to Austria-the course Of Mr.. Clayton in the
Cuba business and in the Poussin 1are-up-are all
SO many pieces Of his miserable policy of truck
ling to the despois, as if friendship with them was
to be secured, if necessary, even by our own degra-
dation. The organs Of Mr.. Clayton have been
very active in denouncng the invasion and mill
tsry occupation Of Rome by the French; but has
Mr.. Clayton protested against It, or against the
beasily barbanties Of Haynaul or said word in
favor OF the Hungarian refugeesl Not protest.
not one word Massa Greeley, however, begins
to understand the true policy. Let him drive 1t home
TO the cabinet. The policy Of Fifty years ago-of
neutrality on any iems-will not apply to the pre-
sent day We have walked up one sleepy subject
TO the fact and we shall try wake up the cabinet
before we have done. The position OF our govern
ment and country requires bold, manly, and en-
ergetic foreign policy. We were weak fifty years
ago; now we are strong. Our example has raised up
republican sentiments and revolutions all over the
world and consistency demands that, il we take
any side, we should fling the weight Of our inhu-
ence in support Of republican principles We must
60 forward, and not backward. The weak, timid,
and old womsnsh policy Of the cabinet must be
abandoned. We must have change. That's all.
Massa Greeley is coming over to side, and be-
lore the winter is over, if he only sticks to U.s. we

A MODERN VIRGINIUs.-In these disor
dered times, the current history of Europe
offers many incidents no less full of interest
finely touched as are the latter with the
charm of classical association.
Virginus slew his daughter, to save
her from the naughty pat-ician whose
passions she had unconsciously excited
Ivy her beauty and who claimed her as
his slave. A spirit similar to that which
thus prompted father to one of the no.
blest acts i'll antiquity, has, i'll our age,
lately led husband to slay his wife in
order to save her from outrage worse
than death, on the part of the Spanish
troops now in Italy. 1t seems, Gays a
narrator of the incident, that at Zagarolo,
one of the Italian provinces, young mar
ried woman, having just budded into wo-
manhood, whese hand had been sought
by contending sutors and given to the
man she loved, became the object of de-
sire to this lawless band. Gold, stra Ia
gems, and intrigues were resorted to, in
orderto get possession of the prize. They
were baffled in every attempt-at length
tHey Iorceu dl ellrdlce Ilto tlle mouse,
and found her sheltered in her husband s
arms. In vain she implored for mercy
at their hands. They rushed to tear her
from his grasp-in that fearful moment
all was lost; and in the wilderness and
energy OF despair, to save her from dis
honor, more dreadful far than death, the
wretched husband plunged dagger IN
her heart It was the Roman story en-
acted in modern times.

| The SoUTH.-Facts Ike the following
which we extract from the Lynchbure
Virginian, must fill the mind of every
Southern man with pride and pleasure.
The industry and enterprise thus exhibited
and the large amounts thus invested, hold
out bright hopes of a powerful and pros,
porous future to the South.
s'In an address,, says the Virginian,
recently delivered before the Americar,
Institute of New York, are details which
will be read with interest and which will
animate the breast of every Southern man.
Delaware has a greater number of manu-.
featuring establishments, in proportion to
population, thap any other State in the
Union. Maryland has invested $45, ,OOO,-
coo in Railroads, Canals and manufactur.
ing operations. Virginia has similar in.
vestments, to the amount of $50, ,O0O, 600.
and will shortly have Railroads in opera.
ton to the. extent of 1900 miles N.
Carolina has 500 miles of Railroads COM
pleted or In the course Of construction.
Although South Carolina has hitherto
advocated foreign markets as material to
her interests, yet, from the practical influ-
ence which Railroads have had in demon.
strating the true policy of producing
country, she has embarked in manufac.
turing to some extent, and the result of
which bids fair to- make it a valuable
auxiliary to her interests. Florida, though
1t has but lalely become a State, has
S4,000,O00 invested in Railroads and
manufacturing.
Georgia has, perhaps. of any State in
the South, reaped the most ample remu-
neratlon, present and prospective She
has more than seventy cotton factories in
successful experiment, and she is building
railroads as last as her energies can be
taxed. All over the States of Alabama.
Tennessee. Kentucky, Mississippi and
Arkansas, the same spirit is diffusing
itself. While Missouri has the macnifi.
cent. snm of $S5,OOO,OOO invested in min
ing, railroads and manufacturing.
"These things are contemplated by
every rational mind with peculiar gratifi.
cation. Every year will still extend inn
provement IN all branches, and will have
powerful tendency TO check the evil,
which. according to some of our states
men, will be to us virtue of necessity"

companions, and, retiring to his bed, fell
fast asleep. His absence was observed,
and his retreat detected. 1t was deter.

snapped up loaded pistol. aud carefully

himself, and was brought back in triumph
to the party. In the morning, however.
it was found that the ramrod of the pistol
had passed through the pillow, close by
where the head of the future conqueror
of Napoleon must have been. With all
the care that his assistant had taken to
draw the ball, he had left, unconsciously,
in its place the ramrod; and but that the
same potations that confused his percep-
tions unsteaded his hand, when he point

The lamented Colonel Duncan, of the
United States army, had drilled his men
to such perfection in artillery, and to such
celebrity of movement, that on one oc-
casion when his guns were under their
sheds, the horses of the light battery in
stable, and the harness hanging up, he
accomplished the feat of harnessing up,
moving his guns two hundred yards,
forming in battery, and firing round, In
a space of a minute and half from the
time the first command was given.
Another feat in wars vast art is said to
have been accomplished by the cadets at

RUSSIAN VENGEANcE.-The reader may
infer what would have been the fate OF
the Hungarians and Poles, if delivered
to the savage hands of the Autocrat, by
reading the following extract from ''The
Cossacks of the Ukraine
Behind the chapel was rack, and
on both sides of the rack were several
rows of gallows several miles in length,
and instruments of torture ready, for the
unfortunate victims. The punishments
were in accordance with the degree of
culpability and stations in society of the
rebels. In the first row of galIow's the
most guilty were executed; after being
subject to the rack, they were quartered
alive. The leaders had their hands and
left leg cut off, and afterwards impaled
on long spikes. and left to their horri-
bic fate. Their groans were heard for
miles, and their bodies feasted the eyes

A LAUGHABLE CIRCUMsTANCE.--Itw was
amusing to see the different kinds of faces
exhibited at the Locofoco convention last
Monday. Some of the old Democrats
who have been for years fighting under
the Democratic banner, swore terribly
when they found that their leaders were
selling them to the Abolition party.
Among others, mical-looking old tel
low, who had huzZa' d for Jackson and
Polk, delivered himself something in this
wise:
"Well, really, are our leaders going to
make us abandon the o.d Democratic plat
form, aud compel us to fight under the
