international Copyrights.

The Literary Treaty which was pending be-
tween England and France, forbidding literary
piracy in either country of works published and
copyrighted in the other, has been signed, rati-
fed, and is now in force.-Each
Our Government protects American authors
against each other, but not against foreign au-
thors. The American who can get before the
public must have merit enough to do SO in de-
spite of the competition of American publishers
who obtain their works from England without
paying for them. A publisher can grow rich
by issuing reprints, (just as new to us as our
own originals at a little advance upon the cost
of paper and printing. How then can another
publisher make headway who has the American
author to pay for his works. We're foreign
authors permitted TO copyright their works in
this country, they would see to their being
correctly gotten up, and realize profit from
their SALE This would be simple justice to
them, and would at the same time afford the
American author an opportunity of adding the
value of his copyright to the cost of his book
also.
Thus justice to European and American au-
thors calls for the establishment of the interna-
tonal copyright system. But so does justice
to the American reader. When publishers
must pay for the right TO publish new book,
they will publish only such as are worth a
price. The products of the press will be cor
rect, because every author will be able to con-
troll the manner of its production. Authorship
win have also become profession in this as in
other countries; greater excellence will be at
tanned an -Imertcaa literature viii be engen-
dered, and the influence Of books that teach
lessons incompatible with the spirit and genius
Of republicanism will be impaired.
We are not in favor Of any ayoidable restric
tons upon the Legitimate pursuits Of q civilized
people; but in this matter Of reciprocal justice
we would not have our Government occupy q
position illiberal toward others and unjust to
its own people.

Twelfth street Baptist church, New York, on
Sunday evening, during his sermon, expressed
the opinion that "the present events were in
tended to precede the coming Of Christ, and
that Kossuth was sent by God to prepare the

Well, the opinion is not far-fetched nor i'm
pious Who doubts either propositions All
things are under the providence of God, who
permits evil as necessary to establish mans
free agency and responsibility. But we forget
ourselves--we are not theologians.

Just so much as appears TO be useful. A

these we think good taste gives no sanction.
We would never permit earrings to be worn

6rWe cut the following from the
Louisville Journal. The Maysville
people have become thoroughly awake
10 the importance of Railroad connex-
ion with the South and West BY way of
Lexington, and with the East by means
Of Virginia Central road. 1t is their
wish that this road should strike the
Ohio as low down as possible, so as to
secure its connexion with Cincinnati by
way of Lexington instead of Chillicothe.
Read what they are doing:
The city council of Maysville have
passed resolutions recommending to
the Governor Of Kentucky, Thomas B.
-Sievepson. as a commissioner or agent,
on behalf Of the State, to visit the cities
Of Washington, Richmond and Balti-
more, to promote a connection OF the
railroads from Washington by way OF
Big Sandy, Maysville, Lexington and
louisville, with the Virginia Central
Railroad. A better appointment could
not be made.
That an effort OF this kind would be
made was we'll understood by those de-
sirous that said road should tap the Ohio
at the mouth of Big Kanawha; and the
report of the Committee TO the Point
Pleasant meeting anticipated the main
arguments in favor of the Lexington
connexion, so far as it could from linn
tied knowledge of facts.
We think there can be no doubt that
this Central roed, at no distant day, is
70 be pushed forward TO the Ohio river,
there to meet other roads connecting
with Cincinnsti, as the point from which
IL is TO form its connexion further West
as well as South. The only question
10 be settled is, shall Cincinnati be
reached by way Of central Ohio (Chil-
licotbe) or central Kentucky licking
ton.) Although it is obviously for the
Interest of the company TO seek the for
mer connexion, and we believe a ma
iority of the real friends of the road in
Western Virginia so understand it, yet
superior diligence on the part Of the
friends of the latter, may make the
worse appear the better reason. We
give the above as an indication of the
spirit of the friends ofa Lexington con-
nexion. On our outside will be found
the proceedings of meeting held at
Point Pl Pleasant on the same subject.

He did not believe that the great

Rnd Of the Seventh week.
The Legislature has been in session
for seven weeks. We confess the
business is not so far advanced as we
hoped to see it at this time. We do
not now think an adjournment will
be had before the lst Of March
None Of the important business oi
the session is finished; the elections
are not yet begun.
The debate on the several sets oil
resolutions on the slavery question
has commenced in both Houses, and
has been continued in the Senate for
several days past. Messrs. Sutlift,
Simpson, Pardee, Geiger, Burns and
Randall have spoken at length on
their several resolutions, and gener'
ally with much ability. The state
of our columns does not admit o.
publishing their remarks in full. II
is probable that resolutions affirming
the constitutionality Of the law and
the necessity of putting down forci
bic resistance, will be passed, coupled
with suggestions Of amendments
that will make it more acceptable tC
the North, and better protect th'
rights of the free black, without i'm
pairing the validity Of the law as
remedy for the STAKEHOLDER. A few
days will determine these things.

MEssRs. EDsroRs: Permit a few
thoughts TO be offered to your readers
for their consideration on the above cap
ton.
That the education Of females is as
important 10 society, and as necessary
and indispensable to them as individu-
ais, as that Of the other sex. and that the
education of both is a matter Of the
deepest and most lasting interest to COM
munity, are truths in which all concur.
The latter a universal, political axiom,
sanctioned by every Legislature; the
former, however, not having that due
and particular appreciation of by COM
munity which its Importance demands.
Were a preference necessarily TO be
given, ard had we the power Of that
preference, we should have il that edu-
cation be conferred on females only
Their active benevolence would diffuse
IT every where, and for the reason also
that in proportion to their elevation in
the social compact is the progress and
elevation of the species-a principle
which all history proves.
There ought. therefore, on the Prln-
cipIes Of general politY, to be schools
SET apart and dedicated 10 this particular
object, and this only. The public
ought to take an interest in building up
and patronizing such seminaries where
in learning (the only real source OF hu'
man dignity and imPortance) might De
obtained.
But the principal object had in view
in calling attention to this subject is as
to the benefit to be derived in building
I'D an institution of this character, a
seminary for the education Of young
ladies' in our own village.
Fortunately for the success of such
an enterprise, fine building has been
obtained, situated in a secluded but
central part Of the town, a good instruc-
tress is at her post, and nothing is now
wanting but the patronage of the pubic.
Will not the public second an endeavor
so happily begun! An endeavor which
looks TO the actual prospect that at day
not far distant, when it will be consider.
ed a permanent institution, and resorted
to by young ladies from various parts
of the country.
Will not the young ladies of our own
vicinity, beautiful as they are known tc
be, add still to their charms by promo
ting the success of the Gallipolis Semi
nary? Our town would derive grea
advantage from such an establishment
of additional value to its society anC
social circles, and certainly it would be
a rare and peculiar honor of being
member of a socisty distinguished fol
the refinement and intelligence OF it
beautiful females.
