The DEAD HEAD SysTEM.-Some of the
Railroad Companies North have been max
ing investigations into the extent of the Dead
Head System practiced upon their lines, and
the result is rather astonishing. One of our
exchanges in noting it says:
"There is no doubt that the dead head
system has been abused beyond mcrcy-that
the stockholders have been robbed through
the disagreement of selfish OF unprinciplcd
directors. But we believe that it will every
where appear that the Editors have made the
least use of this kind of favors of any other
class. They have not the time to run about
the country, and frequently never use the ia
cilites offered them in this way. Free tickets
of all kinds are so common to the press that
they set little or no value upon them, and re-
gard most of them ms nuisance, because
they are generally expected to render more
in return than they receive. 1t is time that
this subject was better understood, and that
the press, which renders n full equivalent for
what it receives, and often much more, did
not shoulder responsibilities for whole regi-
ments of the mere pets and cousins Of rail-
road directors" engineers, &c.

PRIVATE MAIL-We understand the peo-

men.s TO run q private mail between this
point and Decatur during the ensuing winter,

their letters, papers, &c. The plan, in view
Of the uncertainty of the government line, is
a good one, and the people in the direction
Of Pikevile would do well 10 get up SINH
lar enterprise. Mail routes are not establish
ed for the benefit and convenience of con-
tractors solely, but for the accommodation of
the public, and when the contractor fails to
discharge his duty faithfully, and the Depart
ment fails to take cognizance of his remiss-
ness, the people most undoubtedly have the
right to provide ways and means to protect
their interests.

CHARLESTON CORRESPONDENCE.

CHARLEsToS, Nov. 81, "a.
Business has greatly increased during this
rlonih in our city, while our streets and
wharves are throDged with every kind of nc
tive life. Our Banks show in their late re-
turns an increase in their deposits, thus giving
evidence of change for the better in the
money market. Our Cotton trade is brisk,
while the higher grades are commanding high
er prices with increased demands over that OF
last year.
Breadstuffs are scarce and in demand, flour
ranging in price from $3.50 to Sll,50 per
Dbl. Corn and other grains are active with
some tendency to an upward action. Yet we
think as navigation opens with the country
the supply which will be received by our pre-
duce merchants will more or less change the
market to lower standard.
Stocks, both real and fancy, have been for
sometime in depressed state, but we do not
think this is in consequence Of any actual de.
probation in their own worth, but because
the tight times of the money market has pre-
cluded some from purchasing them, having
use for their money in their more Legitimate
line of business. MERCHANT.
The DIPLOMATIC CoSGREss.-A Congress
of American Diplomatists was recently held
at Brussels. One of the objects of the Con-
gress of Ambassadors was said to have been
to prepare report on the condition of pop
ular sentiment in Europe. The following is
represented to be the result on that branch of
their labors:
The Ambassadors agree in reporting the
utter absence of Democratic feeling in Eu-
rope. In Spain there are no republicans
Sickles vent purposely to Madrid, and re-
ports this as the result of his observations
France is lost in admiration of its prudent
and practical Government. Revolution in
Paris is out of the question. Austria has
succeeded in gaining the hearts of her SUBJ
iects. Even KOussuth himself is quite for
gotten by the people, the Magyar aristocracy
being his only adherents. Poland has no
chances, except in the suite of Monarchic com.
binations, and Italy is completely tired of the
madness of Mazzinism. So of the rest. Eu-
rope is satisfied. The people of the old conti-
nent are not ripe for freedom.
In regard to the acquisition of Cuba, the
Congress finds opinion for the belief that our
Government would receive no support from
any part of Europe in the attempt to gain
possession of it. Spain will not sell the Is
land, and there is no feeling of democratic
sympathy with this country which would sup
port us in seeking to effect its conquest by
any other means.

A SURVEY OF CRoSsTADT.--The British
surveying steamer Lightning has returned to
England from the Baltic. A London papet
says:
The Lightning accomplished her duties as
Il surveying vessel in a highly satisfactory
manner; and having run in close to Cronstadi,
had good opportunity of reeennointering
the strength of that fortress. The mouth Of
the harbor is narrow, and one ship only could
enter at time, which she would have TO do
under iheconcentrated firing Of Io4 guns, and
if she passed the outer entrance she would
receive, before entering the inner harbOr, the
concentrated firing from $50 guns on doub-
letter battery erected at lis entrance, and in
which ID ships of the line are now lying
The walls are Of solid granite, Is feet thick
and it would require aconsiderable land force
to aid powerful fleet when attempting to
destroy the Notifications.

DIFFIcULTY AMONG PRINTERS.

There appears TO be an unpleasant difficulty
between the journeymen printers and the
newspaper publishers at Nashville, growing
out of demand on the part of the former
for an advance in wages. We know nothing
of the merits of the case in any way, but rs
the rights and benefits of the employed and
employers are, or ought TO be, mutual, II
would seem that the difficulty might easily
be adjusted. We worked as a journeyman
some fifteen years, and of the many different
Offices in which we labored, we cannot now
recOllect single one where we were badly
treated, or the proprietors Of which did not
manifest disposition to do about what was
right upen n fair representation of points Mt
issue. Both parties are dependent upon the
other to some extent, and both have rights
which each ought to respect and when both
do this, difficulties of any kind will seldom
occur between the employers and the en-
ployees. Men have an inherent right to or
gnnize into societies and leagues to resist
expressions, tyrnnnies and exactions against
which the laws do not provide; but the dan
ger is, that when so banded together, they
are apt to fall into the error to prevent which
they aim, and end by trying to Cypress others
having rights mutual with themselves. If
employers in all branches of business would
learn to treat their employees, who labor
faithfully, more as equals and friends, and
not as belonging to an inferior class having
no rights but such as they may be disposed
to mete out to them, and the employed
would always act as though they had the
same respect for their employer, and no more,
that they have for their felow-workmen, it
would operate mutually to the advantage of
all, and we should hear Of but few "strikes"
or Combinations"

NEBRASKA IN New YoRK.-The New York
Dutchman says the Nebraska question has
been greatly exaggerated, and that judged by
the vote at the late election, it would seem
that the matter was not even thought of by
any man that approached the pollsl The
only questions passed upon were brandy
cocktails and Irishmen. The latter were re-
pudiated by m overwhelming majority, and
the former made victorious by vote that
has completely destroyed Greely's digestive
powers. Since Tuesday night, the philoso-
pher has fed entirely on rolled crackers and
panadn.
