OPENING LETTERS BELONGING TO AN AMERICAN
CONSUL, ETC.
Our adsices from Venice, of the 27;h ult.
state -
The Austrian authorities are very unscrupu.
lous with regard to opening any letter or parcel
which they consider suspicious. The govern
ment Of the United States forwarded a packet
10 the American consul here, short time since
containing a printed circular, and a pamphlet
on the Austre-lIungarian question with refer.
ence to the case of Mr.. Dudley Mann. This
packet was opened and examined at the Office
Of central revision, although it bore, net only
tie seal Of the Department of State, but
that also of the United States consulate a,
Hamburg. impressed In wax.
Mr.. Flagg, as representative of tie United
States government at Venice, addressed a pro.
test to the Imperial government on this viola
ton Of the United States seal
In reply to this protest, a communication Of
sQne length was received from the office of
central revision, in substance as follows -
The Office Of revision claims the right to
examine all publications introduced into the
Venetian States, from any country, under any
form, from any source, and To any address what:
ever, without the least distinction, and with no
exception of the representatives OF other govern
ments. Also that the packet in question had
no external mark Of diplomatic character.
Several communications have passed between
the United States cons ul md the Imperial
government on the subject, in which the former
declares that the occurrence OF similar fact
will demand Of him q similar protest. Here
the matter remains for the present. .
This case serves 10 show that the authorities
consider themselves perfectly at liberty to in.
spect any document, to whatever address il may
be sent which is fact Of the utmost impor-

SKETCHES OF NoRrH-CARoLINA

We are indebted to Col. Wheeler for copy of
his Sketches of North Carolina.
This work is in two volumes bound together-the
first is devoted to the history of the State from its dis
covery to the present time and the second is devo-
ted 10 the Counties, embracing account of their
origin, their members of Assembly, their distinguish
ed men, &c. The first volume contains 1873 pages,
and the second 47O pages. III
This work, in the language of the Author, has
been IS compiled from original records official docu-
Inents and traditional statements and it embraces
much concerning the early history of the State and
he: prominent men, which had not before seen the
light.
Col. Wheeler has been engaged in collecting in
formation for these Sketches for the last ten years.
He has enjoyed excellent opportunities for obtaining
it, and we know he has applied himself to his task
with unwearied industry and unfagging zeal. The
result is now before the public 1t is due candor
to state that the style is in many instances inaccu
rate and defective, and that, in respects, the
best taste has not been displayed but not dis
posed to criticise the work. to find fault with the
of its execution. Ii contains mass of facts
which ought to be known to every of the State;
and trust that every reading man will procure the
work, study it, and Undue the minds of his children
with the knowledge it contains and the patriotic spir-
Col. Wheeler has been cheered from the first by
the united voice of the Press of the State and now
that his work has been completed, have no doubt
that the same voice will be heard. from the seashore
to the mountains, in approval of his patriotic
labors. In addition to this tn first Presses of the
countryside Washington Union, the National INTEL
ligencer and the Pennsylvanian-haves spoken of the
work in the most favorable terms. They regard it as
worthy of the subject, ind as calculated to add much
to knowledge of the true character of the State.
We learn that quite large edition of the work
has been issued but such is the demand for it that it
will doubtless be exhausted in the course of few
months. The price is only two dollars, thus putting
it in the.power of every one TO obtain copy. We
expect to draw upon its facts quite largely in the
of Editorial labors but in the meantime,
is readers would doubt be pleased with spe-
,mens of its matter, shall take occasion before
ong to lay some extracts from il before them.
The work may be obtained at the Bookstores in
his City. The Author may be addressed at Beatte's
Ford, Lincoln County, North Carolina.

THE CHRIsTIANA WITNESSES. The escape from

rioters, has induced the U. S. District Attorney al
Philadelphia, to request the Circuit Court to appoint
two watchmen, one to remain at the prison during

also granted writ of habeas corpus, returnable TO-
morrow, ordering the keeper of the prison to produce
the missing witnesses. This movement Will ProOa'

slaves, told upon the Administration. Its disclosures
were of such character that the inscriptions or
gans the party were at once employed in the work
of attempting weaken their force, and thus shield the
Administration; but the judgment of the public
pronounced and the correctness ofhat judgment has
been evidenced, Mr.. Rencher we'll remarks, by the
Presidents confession of his 50 erross'' as shown
in the adoption by him of more vigorous measures.
We shall allude to this matter again, in case the
conduct of these party organs should render it

METHODIST CaURCH. SOUTH.

We stated IN our last, that Judge Nelson of the
United States Court had delivered able decision
favor of the right of the Methodist Church, South,
to an equal share OF the property hand when the
Church divided This is most gratifying result.
The Richmond Enquirer, in noticing this decision.
says: 60 This just decision to the Methodist
Church, South, property to the amount of about
$300,OOO, we believe. Judge Nelson has already
won the regard of the country by his bold and able
vindication of the constitutionality of the fugitive
slave law and of the imperative obligation upon the
North to execute it to the letter. The present deci-
sion will to increase the confidence of all pat
riots in his mpartiality, frmness and devotion to du-
ty. Every such decision the above, will exert a
beneficial influence the Northern mind, in infusing
a proper sense of justice and acknowledgement of
Southern Rights.''

Col. FORNEY

We heartily endorse the following from the WASH
ington Correspondence of the Richmond Enquirer
considerable speculation is foot in reference
to the queston,-Who is to be Clerk of the House
Col Forney has many friends, and has rendered much
service TO the republican party. In addition to his
long and faithful Service he has fine business talents
and would make very acceptable candidate for that
distinguished position. l do not know but that in
reality, Col Forney would be the most judicious Sc
lection. Certainly, no objection can be made TO him
on the score of unfathuness to the republican par
ty, for it notorious fact. that, in the city of Phil
adelphia his string appeals have been the principal
cause OF the late republican triumph in Pennsylvania
Such a soldier deserves promoon.''
Col. Forney eminenty deserves this mark of con-
fdence and esteem at the hands of the national De-
mocracy. His election as Clerk would not only give
satisfaction to the party every where, but it would be
hailed by the Democracy in this quarter with sincere
qualification.

The attack of the Raleigh Register upon LOUIS
KossuTH is calculated to create disgust in the mind
of every generous citizen and friend of liberty That
paper assumes certain statements of the ahache au-
ded to elsewhere by to-day to be true and proceeds
to speak of the great patriot in just such terms as it
would use towards some political opponent. pro-
nounces him conceded, and ridicnles the idea that
he is a second Washington We think the Register
might agree to permit Kossuth 10 be called second
Washington, seeing that that paper and its party have
had regularly. once in four years, second Wash
