RAGE OF THE AUsTRIASs AGAINST ENGLAND
AND AMERIcA-A letter dated Venice, Sept.
29th, referring to the release of Kossuth, and
his embarkation for the United States, says
The Austrians in Venice are very bitter against
the English and Americans for this escapade.--
AS one demonstration of petty malice on that
account, Gorskowski, the military governor no.
tilted all foreign consuls, on the 9th, that under
decree of the goth, he was resolved vigorous
ly to execute all the laws pertaining to a state
of siege; and that all travellers and visitors,
who didn't conform in customs, costumes, con.
versation and conduct, to those acquisitions,
however odious, would, without exception, be
put in arrest The decree is evidently aimed at
Amf01eans and Brtons large numbers of whom
wear the forbidden red-repubican slouched hat
white or brown-the California hat of the
United States. Is there any government in
Christendom, except Austria, that would be
guilty of such nonsense as the late executions
at Pesth, and the late decree at Venice!

On the Goth Sept. last, the cotton planters Of
Florida held a convention for the purpose Of
adopting measures for the prevention of the
fluctuations in the prices of cotton. A calcula.
ton was made, and report submitted by which
it appeared that for the last twenty-five years,
the production WAS 4s,760,00o bales, and con-
sumption for the same time 49, $4,000, or an ex-
cess Of 5000 bales, over the production The
report argues that an over production cannot
tske place if proper plan is adopted by the
American interest, and recommends the forma-
ton of Cotton Planters Association,to be chart
cred by South Carolina, Alabama, Louisiana, and
Florida (why not Mississippi , with capital Of
62O,O00000, TO be increased when desired. The
association also, TO have large warehouses in
Charleston, Savannah, Mobile, New Orleans,
hpalachicola, and st. NJ rks, for the storage and
sale Of the entire crops OF the country. And TO
obtain the whole business, minimum price TO be
fixed upon, and guaranteed 10 all regular custom
s, and TO all parties holding cotton purchased
of them, while IL continued in their warehouses.
In brief, this association was 10 settle the low
est price for cotton at say 10 cts, and never per-
nit the article to fall lower than that sum if
purchasers could not be found elsewhere, the
company were bound to take at that rate. Ten
cents was the lowest price that would be taken,
and, although iha great staple might from exces
sive production, be down in the market to Sets,
yet the company were bound BY the term of the
agreement 20 pay 10.
1t is very evident that the scheme will not
work; il Is contrary to the principle Of supply
and demand, and the associations, after limited
experience, would become sick of the expert.
ment 1t would be about as feasible project
as for our turpentine getters to club together,
and put the minimum price Of turpentine at
$500 per barrel, without any reference what
ever to the state of the market or the possible
competition elsewhere, or the divergence of the
trade into other and unfettered channels

go Our friend of the Louisville Journal is
tremendously anxious that we should be in
passion about the result in the Southern States.
He is evidently himself in an unusual excite
ment not at what he calls victory, but because
the victory is, like many such of which history
speaks worse than defeat.
KHe says, we haven't :" a word to say about the
result of the late election in South Carolina"
Surely our friend has never read our interesting
paper We beg he will Immediately put on
spectaces, and profit by the information and ar
gument he will find therein He has much need
of instruction on the great question of the day,
and he may take pattern of calmness from US
in the moment of confict-for defeat we know
not, and cannot confess.
To assert that the great cause of the South
is defeated is truly absurd, and betrays in those
who make that declaration, great ignorance OF
the facts of the case The South is not defeat-
cd. She is willing to give the North another
trial She is again about to display that for
bearance and magnanimity under trial, attack
and insult, which has distinguished her from the
very commencement of this struggle in favor of
her rights and institutions She is not defeated
She has rather retired, when she might have
struck blow, which the North would have felt
most grieviously-she has done So because she
was willing to spare her deluded enemies. She
retired for while as she perceived the North
relenting, abolition declining, terrified at the
consequences Of her own natcism-authorty,
awakened to the necessity Of enforcing ESQ far
as it could the Fugitive slave law. She retired,
because her enemies were beating retreat, and
confessing their own errors Such forbearance
we say, was nagnanimity she had right on
her side. Secession was open to her-but her
attachment to the Union was greater practically
than that of the North, which had openly preach
ed disunion, and attempted to enforce it by a
deliberate attack upon institutions, to destroy
which, involved the destruction of this Union.
We do not confess, under such circumstances,
to defeat We feel on the contrary that we
have triumphed over bigotry, and frightened
those political charlatans, who, TO get into pow
er, Hattered abolition ignorance, and compelled
the South to assume the lofty attitude she did
The day of trial is now arrived. We look
upon that which has passed as but the beginning
Of the struggle The real danger lies in the
course which the North will now pursue under
the false conception and confidence of Unior
victory. And those papers which, like the Lou
ispilie Journal lead their readers into false idea
respecting the late elections at the South, mus
be held responsible for any rash Northern meas
ures, which will drive the South again to see
protection in her State rights. On another OF
casion the Southern people may not be so fo
bearing.

UsE OF ANTHRACITE ON BoATs--We are con-
vineed that the users Of steam are generally cog
nizant of the fact, tnat the destruction Of boiler
and fire box, which has hitherto been the only
objection to anthracite fuel, is entirely obyiated
by two simple inventions, that have been fully
tested for many months on the Reading railroad,
viz the DimpfelI and the Milholland boilers and
fire boxes. both Of which have been described in
the Ledger. BY each of these improvements, .
very great saving of fuel is also effected by the
combustion of the usually escaping gases. The
Dimpfel engine. after years hard use and most
testing has been bought by the Utica
and Schenectady railroad, to which Il 10 now
transferred and we may, therefore, look FOR the
substitution Of coal for wood fuel in that direc
ton The coal interest should unite in an effort
to introduce this and all other improvements that
tend to enlarge the market for anthracite. If
these new locomotives are what is claimed. six
msnths devoted to making their merits known
would secure their general adoption in every ma
rine steamer and on every railway in the Atlantic

THE STRANGE HEREsY TRIAL-ASoTBER
HIGHER LAw.-We have already referred TO
the trial and conviction of the Rev. John Little,
a paster of the reformed Presb, terian church in
this city, on the charge of heresy. II appears
that the reverend gentleman, In sermon which
he recently delivered, said, among other things
that the providential existence of government
entitled It to conscientious OBEDIENCE and as
this was contrary 20 the tenets of the church TO
which he belonged, he was put upon his trial.
We apprehend that few people ever imagined
that we have in our midst religious sect, like
these modern covenanters, who hold it sinful TO
be connected with governments that are moi
founded on their views OF Christian and moral
principles. This il certainly an anomaly. Gov
ernment Is established for the welfare of the
community, for the protection of the weak
against the strong, and for the security of life,
liberty, and property; and yet these people
while they disclaim all connection with the
government, and try one Of their posters for her
esy In saying that the proyidentlai existence OF n
government entities it to a conscientious obedi.
ence, are protected by that government in all
their rights, and even In the indulgence Of their
religious fanaticism; and would, no doubt, be
very desirous of receiving the protection of that
government should those rights be invaded
This is another phrase Of The "higher law" OF
which we have beard so much lately, What in
the name of fcommon sense. Is the world coming
TO This trial shows with how ealous an eye
this sect watch their members, lest they should
be found among the ranks Of those professed
Christians vino take part with human govern
ments that are, necessarily, In some degree, un-
holy. The covenanters still believe In govsrn-
ments but they must be found strictly on the
word Of God. Spcb a government Gerrit
Smith and his followers are also endeavoring to
realize We think tey will all have TO wait
some time FIRST. We fear that the "good time
coming" isa great way off to them.-M y.
