be checked by the American and European
ounter-immigratisn, which will dow int the
productive. but hitherto inaccessible, interior
of the South.
Ia word, the South will become populous
prosperous, powerful. She will cherish the
Union because she will feel no inequality In its
burdens. She will harmonize with the North
because she will not fear the North, and will
have no feeling of inferiority.
On the other hand, the North will have an
immense and extending interest in the pros
perity Of the Southern States. She will fur
nish the capital for railroads and steam lines;
she will build up the towns Of the South, open
her mines, and found her factories. There
will be friendship between the sections which
can only exist between equals, who respect and
who are interested in the prosperity of each
other.
In the meantime, the physical and CONNER
cal pow er Of the Southern States will be such
as to render them independent of all fanatical
movements. All men will see that if this
Union be divided by a sectional line, the
Northern States would lose the most extensive
home market which any manufacturing and
| commercial people possess. That war of
abolition would involve the destruction of
property and patronage in which every me-
| chanic, merchant, and mental of the North is
interested. That war of abolition under
taken by any foreign power would find Balti
more defended by force which equalled in
| galantry and excelled in numbers the heroes
of McHenry and North Point. Norfolk and
Yorktown would be terminated by the descend
| ants of those who redeemed them from the
| pollutions of foreign invasion. Charleston and
Savannah would fill their palmetto forts with
the rihemen of Holston and Hwassee; whilst
New Orleans, with touch Of the telegraph
and the speed of the locomotive, might concen
trate the military force of fifteen States for the
protection of rights common to all, and interests
upon which their sectional prosperity so much
depended. The consequences of such a con-
fiict are too terrible to be encountered by fana
tics for the promotion Of an abstract opinion,
or by political managers who cooperate with
fanatics for their own purposes.
These are, as we understand them, the pur-
poses of the Memphis Convention. They are
wise, patriotic, laudable. They will promote
the prosperity of the South, and thus increase
the respect and engage the interests Of other
sections and nations.
The harmony Of the sections being thus con-
soidated, the Vaccinations of those who cloak
their hatred to the intentions of freedom under
pretended hostility to the institution of slave
ty. will be foiled, and the American Union will
be eternal

SERIoUs ACCIDENT TO MAJOR GENERAL Scorr.-

6ERIOUs ACCIDENT TO MAJOR GENERAL SCOTT
We regret to have to announce that very severe
accident, and one which may have been attended
with the most dangerous, if not fatal copse-
quences, occurred to General Winfield Scott, in
this city, upon last Wednesday night
Ii appears that about nine O'Clock in the evening
the General left his residence, at No. 1913 Twelfth
street, near the Fifth avenue, for The purpose of
taking walk. He turned into the avenue and
was proceeding upwards, but when he arrived be-
tween Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets he wish
ed to cross from the right to the left band aide of
the way. Here there some Inequality OF the
tagging Of the sidewalk, and also Of the pavement
of the carriage road, and in stepping from # the
sidewalk across the channel, the General imagined
that be was placing hs foot upon the road, when
in reality the surface several inches lower than
he calculated Upon. From this very familiar cause
of accident, General Scott osi big balance and fell
heavily to the ground, pitching GFsp ne right side
of his face and head, and upon bis right arm 1fhe
| fall was more sudden and severe, ewing TO the
weakness which exists in his left arm in
quenes of gunshot wound, received, we believe
at Chippewa, aud which prevented him using it to
| support the balance Of his person. When about to
arise he was promptly assisted by some gentlemen
who were passing at the moment, by whom he was
| attended to his house
| The old hero betrayed neither alarm nor ner :
vousness upon the occasion, nor did he complain
!, of pain, although convinced that he seriously
! hurt for. when the gentlemen offered to support
bin oy the afW, pc sald, quite coolly-"Dont touch

face received some severe scFapes and couple of

Simpson, of the United States army. After ex-
animation Of the arm, the doctor pronounced that
1t was not broken; but the General was still OF
opinion that a fracture bad occurred.

A terday evening, our reporter was informed that

was considerable ocal irritation existing upon the
injured pArts'u his face, and that the doctor was

The FouR HuNpREpTH ANNIvEasARY OF THE
TAKING OF CoNsTANTINoPLE.-The late important
news from Turkey in Europe was, by a somewhat
startling coincidence, received here on the 4OOth
anniversary of the conquest of Constantinople,
and of the final destruction of the ancient Roman
empire, by the Ottomans or Turks.
The city of Constantinople, founded more than
$500 years ago. and during the first ! 200 years
known as BySantum, was subsequently, to $50 A.
c. called after its restorer, the Emperor Constan
tine, who removed to it from Rome; and it con.
tinued the seat OF government of the Eastern Ro
man empire for about 1000 years after the West
ern had been overthrown.
According to Gibbon, the city, which had been
already besieged for So days by the Ottoman troops
under the Sultan Mahomet I'd, was stormed and
after . glorious defence, taken on May 18th, 1853
o. S., which correspondents the difference in the
18th century between the styles was nine days-to
June 7th, 1853, of the Gregorian Calendar, or ex-
actly 400 years ago The name of the last empe-
ror, who was killed in the assault, wac, like that
of the first, Constantine. Since the conquest the
city has been the capital of the Ottoman empire,
and is known by its possessors Stanbo or Istan
Dol; but by Christians not subjects of the Porte,
its former name is generally retained. The weak
ness and decline of the Ottoman power, now 80
manifest, induced some of the clergy to study and
to attempt to expound the prophecies in the book
of Daniel and the. Apocalypse with regard to the
Ottoman empire. and the calculations are some
what in this strain:

over the third part of men for an hour, a day, a
month, and year, or three hundred and ninety
