We observe that many of the Compromise pa
pers are straining their faculties to show pa
rallel in the course of the recent convention at
Charleston and that of the Abolitionists at Sy-
racuse. Behold what identity of opinion, say
they, between these ultras-both for disunon
Well, there is another parallel. The regular
American and Foreign Auti-slavery Convention
at New York, representing the great body OF
Abolidonists in the country, declared its devo-
tor to the Union in terms as ardent as any
compromisers, and yet declared that the over
throw of slavery everywhere, was its grand OBJ
ject. Now, judging from what the Union has
already done in behalf of abolitionism, which is
mistaken-the antslavery men Who adhere TO
1T for the purpose of concentrating their plans
or the compromisers, who pretend to respect
equally the rights of both sections

rz9s The new editor of the Richmond Wing
a sort of anachronsm, who belongs mentally &c
the time when grub street monopolized all the
uckless scribber aspirants for fame, has quoted
one Southern editor, who has quoted another
saying that some citizens of the whole district
of Abbevile, South Carolina, have discontinued
our paper. We have glanced over that list
which contains between one and two hundred
names, and find about three or four discon-
tinuances in a whole year.
The same quotation of quotation, thinks
that we shall have TO apply somewhere for more
funds. 1t is quite natural for one like the editor
of the Wig, who attempted to make living
in this city and elsewhere, out Of what he fanced
was an enormous quantity of talent, and failed
and betook himself to government clerlsship
and when that ceased, engaged in the business
of out putting two rivals for Administration IA

Letter 10 Johannes Won MulIer, the Historian

FROM THE GERMAN or GREUTZ
"Two principles govern the moral and intel
lectual progress Of the world. One is perpetual
progress; the other the necessary limitations to
that progress. If the former alone prevailed,
there would be nothing steadfast and durable on
earth, and the whole of social life would be the
sport of winds and waves. If the latter had
exclusive sway, or even if it obtained mis-
chievous preponderancy, everything would pet
rify or rot. The best ages of the world, are al
ways those in which these two principles are
the most equally balanced In such ages, every
enlightened man ought to adopt both principles
into his whole mind and conduct; and with one
hand develope what he can, while with the
other, restrain and uphold what he ought
I" But in wild and stormy times, when this bal
ance is destroyed by attacks on the conservative
principIe--or in dark and barbarous times, when
the principle of progress is unduly checked, it
appears to me that every Individual should take
part, and should become, to a certain extent,
one-sided, in order to form a sort Of counter
pose to the disorder that reigns around him.
When fear of truth, persecution for opinions,
and stupid persistency, weigh down the human
mind, the best men of their age must strive, even
unto martyrdom, for progress. When. on the
other hand-as in our times-destructio OF
every kind is become the ruling and preponder-
ant tendency, all distinguished men must attach
themselves obstinately to old opinions and insti-
tutiOns."

gt7 AIR. PAGE has published in the Inlelli.
ge'lcer reply TO our observations on his elec-
tro-magneiic engine. He says, he thinks that
the working of his engine now costs only TWEEN
ty cents Per-day per horse power. Ifthat is the
case, he has succeeded for at that rate the in
ventlonis at once applicable to ocean navigation
instead of steam. As for the difficulty of aug
mentng the power without increasing the num-
Der Of engines, we are satisfied there is nothing
in 1t, aud if he can produce an engine of even
one horse power MT the rate of cost he specifies,
there will be no difficulty in obtaining large
sum for the right of using the invention. Mean
while from the very formidable display Of bate
ry his engine made, we must be permitted to
dissent entirely from his calculations, until they
are verefed by a statement of the elements. Let
the engine continue in motiSn twenty-four hours,
and then tell us how much zinc and acid have
been consumed.

~" The Hon. RoBERr w. JOHNSON has beer
re-nominated for Congress by the Democratic
Convention of Arkansas. Thus, every where
the members from the South who resisted the
Compromise, have received the appreciation of
their constituents.
There is an ebb and flow of opinion and feel
ing. After the late Compromise was adopted,
the spirit of the South went down to zero--the
point it reached when the Virginia Legislature
submitted. But reaction is visible. The tide
is rising, and the next Congress will contain a
representation of the South that will deliver the
verdict of her people on the past.

Tue NATIONAL WASHINGTON MONUMENT
The whole estimated cost of the monument is
$l,25o,ooo, of which only about $I5o,ooo has
yet been collected The work upon the monu-

fifty of the wagons were bound for Oregon.

REDUCTION OF THE PAUPER ExPENsEs.--It is
stated that in England during the last few years
there has been a decrease in the public expenses
of the poor. For the year ending Lady Day
1913, there was expended for purposes con-
nected with the relief Of the poor sum OF
E6lS0,764. In the year lS49 the amount was
E5,793,9 1868, and in 1850, there was still further
decrease, as shown by the fact that the sum ex-
pended was only f5,995,022 making, in two
years, a reduction of f785742 in the expenditure
for the relief of the poor in England and Wales

TREBLE FIRE-pAMr EXPLOSION AT THE Go
YER HILL PRS. -We are shocked by the intel

O'clock an explosion occurred in the central pit,
owned by James ii. Cox, esq, at the Clover
Hill Coal Pits, Chesterfield. There were only
eight persons in the pits, one white and seven
colored men--and they were all killed. The
bodies of all of them have been recovered
The unfortunate victims, it is thought, were
anxious to complete their work, so that they
might have a portion of Saturday to visit their
families and they did not take the necessary
precautions, with the safety lamp, against dam
ger. Two of the negroes belonged to Mr.. Cox,
and the rest were hired by him.

Mr. Y, and it has been well merited. There is
not in the State more valiant or potent arm
