Euscbius' writes to the New York Odserrer
from Rome, as follows:
The Tiber is not only rich in historic asso-
ciations it is rich in treasure An English
Company has actually offered to turn the cur
rent of the stream far above the city and around
it, provided the government would give them
what they might discover in its present bed
This would be attended with vast expense, but
it would paw. Treasures of art from age to age
have found their way into the stream, which
would bring into the market a good remunera-
ton In the museum Of St. John Laterau
magnificent column of stone is lying, which vas
taken not long since from the Tiber, portion
Of which has been polished to display, and no
one can see it without wishing to have more of
the secrets of this river revealed. Statuary
more perfect and perhaps more beautiful than
any of the ancient works of art now seen in Rome
hes embedded in groups. Agostino Chigi, the
famous banker at the time of Leo Y, once gave
a splendid entertainment to the Pope and his
Cardinals, at which the dishes were all of pre-
cious metals. The price paid for three fsh was
$50 crowns. II is said that the dishes were all
thrown into the the TIber by order of the rich
banker, in order that no illustrious guests might
ever use them. The sacred vessels brought
from Jerusalem by Titus and among them the
golden candlestick, are reported to have been
lost By the Milvian bridge, and if so are still
lying there. The present government Of Rome
will suffer nothing belonging to ancient art to
pass from her territory nor is it able to carry
such an investigation upon It's own account"

THE STATE TEMPERANCE PARTY.--The fusion
of the temperance party last fall upon the
black republican ticket, including Abijah Mann
sitter confessing that he was and is accustomed
TO take little wine for his stomach's sake
appears to have demoralized the teetotal or
ganization. At their late convention there was
a considerable opposition to the reelection of
Dir Delavan as President by the Seward pipe
layers. At first Mr.. Delayan actually with.
drew from the field, but subsequently agreed
to run; and il was concluded among his brcth-
rem 10 re. elect him. We fear that this State
temperance party will come up among the
missing in cur next November elections.

existence as first rate Power, but to her
prosperity as people and nation. The sur
render Of this design will be the signal of her
iall--she must thenceforth consent to sub
stantial humiliation.
1t is far more likely that France and Eng
land will wear out their alliance and become
actual antagonists than that Russia will termi-
nate the war on the Vienna conditions. There
iseverything to indicate fearful struggle in
Europe. The old accounts must be re-examin-
ed and re- adjusted, and it is sufficiently mani
fest that, in this work, the old Russian policy
must be recognized and ultimately prevail.
In thus stating the case on the basis of the
peace propositions and the circular of Nessel-
rode, there is another consideration to
be noticed. The alleged plan of Ma
poleon, to submit the condition of Eu-
rope to congress Of sovereigns, when
exhibited in detail may disclose to Russia suf-
fcient inducements to make the required con-
cessions to enable the French Emperor to
carry out the design. Such congress will
repeal the letter and obliterate the spirit of its
great Vienna predecessor in 1915; it will not
only be a recognition of the Napoleonic dy-
nasty, but will look to the chief of that house
Tor guidance and support. We can conceive
of no triumph of Napoleon which would at all
equal such procedure; and, regarding the sub
stantial objects of the present war as virtually
accomplished by England and France, and it's
future prosecution as likely to generate rup-
ture Of the alliance, it would not be strange if
Napoleon should be prepared for new deal
and the selection of new partners This diplo-
matte basis of peace, indeed, may be seized
upon by Russia, but it will neither indicate an
abandonment Of her policy nor lessen the
chances of her final success. The disavowal OF
Napoleon of the recent pamphlet published in
Paris, we take it, is entitled to no weight. It's
object has been accomplished; it has received
the impress Of an imperial origin, exacted at
tention, and opened the way for accommoda-
tion, on the ground of entirely new political
associations and objects.

THE LATEST MARES NEsr-The awful dis
covery, by the old fogy protectienists at Wash
ington, of plot, embracing the iron maiufac-
turers Of England and the railroad companies
OF the United States, for the repeal or slspen-
sion and repayment of the duties upon railroad
iron. "This blow at our national industry it
is said, is to be carried through Congrss by
the aid of British gold" This, perhaps, ac-
counts for the delay in the election of o Speaker.

The WAR ISSUES WITH ENGLAND-SrILL A
HOPE FOR WALL STREET.-A report having
been put in circulation among the unofficial
newspapers, that the Cabinet have had under
consideration the expediency of suspending
diplomatic intercourse with England" &C.,
the Washington Union, doubtless "by autho-
rity," says
We think safely the editors Of the Intel
0encer that no such question the suspension OF po
matte intercourse with Great Britain has been before the
ainly delicate and perhaps critical but the proposed
withdrawal of Minister IL not amongst the evidences
going to indie ate the delcacy of those relations
might indulge in a comic Cure grave a matter,
should venture the opinion that the action of govern
ment in asking the recall of Mr.. Champion and the
suls implicated in the recruitment of soldiers for the
Crmea furnishes the only foundation for the statement
quoted above Whilst desire by this correction avoid
unfounded apprehensions of an impending difficulty
with Great Britain cannot deny that there seri
which ought to be thoroughly considered by those
bes of Congress whe obsructing the organization of
the House.
So Mr.. Buchanan is to remain where be is,
and the President is awaiting the election of
Speaker, and the advice and assistance ofCon-
gress. Wall street may go ahead, then, Tor at
least sixty days longer. Meantime, let the lame
ducks waddle off. There may be war. Who
knows? Something desperate must be done,
or the candidates Of the administrator, one
and all, will never touch bottom at the Cncin-
natl Convention. There is the danger.

GOVERNOR WISE ON THE VERMONT ABOLITION
RESOLUTIONS AND OUR AFFAIRS AT WASHING
ToN-We transfer to this paper the let
ter Of Gov. Wise covering the offensive and
traitorous abolition resolutions recently pass
ed by the Legislature Of Vermont, and sent by
the Governor of that State to the Virginia Go
vernon, "with sentiments of high respect"
Read the letter and the resolutions. 1t will
be seen that Gov. Wise treats this hypocrisy Of
high respect" as embodied in those resolu-
tons, as it deserves; but regards the existing
condition of things at Washington as more
urgently calling for the attention Of the Vir-
ginia Legislature than the doings of that little
knot Of fussy agitators at Montpelier. The
Governor admonishes the lawmakers of the
Old Dominion to be on their guard-not
against the Vermont Legislature, but against
the more dangerous band of abolition fanatics
and demagogues which chance has thrown to-
gether in the Congress Of the United States.
1t will also be observed that Gov. Wise seizes
the opportunity for slap at the Southern
Know Nothings, who prefer their own caudi-
date to the democratic nominee. He seems
very DESTROYS to know whether the Fuller
party of the House mean disunion by thus
standing out against the democracy, or what
is the meaning Of it. We don't know but
presume that Humphrey Marshall, of Ken
lucky, will do what he can in the way Of an
explanation to Gov. Wise.

KANsAs-SQUATTER SovEREIGNTY--BOTHSID SIDES
and drummers of the abolition squatters Of

will be seen, from the following extract of a.
late letter to the Southern States from ex-
Senator Atchison, that he and his forces are not.
idle, but are actively preparing to fight it out.

In confirmation of this letter we have re-
port from Kansas that a battle has taken place
in the Territory at Easton, in which one of the
pro-slavery men was killed and several wound
ed, and several abolitionists were killed or
wounded. Yet, with border war thus threa-
tened upon the one hand, and q worldwide
war with England on the other, and with an
administration lacking courage to act in the
one case, and perplexed to its wits end with
the other, we have the still more fatterlng ex-
hibition of faetious and disorganized Con-
gress, sinking everything in dirty squabble
for the public plumber. In this state Of things
we must appeal to both parties in Kansas to-
"ground arms and hold back little longer;
for we are left no other resource against the
impending disgrace and calamitous mischief
Of border war.

tence that he is Of us, quote this article--tell
him he is mistaken-that the HERALD does not
advertise free, or give away its Impressions
consequently its representatives must pay like
other people. Remember, that if ever these per-
sons were what they purport to be they would
have no power to serve you. We do not insert ad-
vertisements in our editorial or news columns
at any price. To do SO would be to swindle our
readers and to injure our advertisers. We have
labored earnestly to destroy the whole dead
head" system. We have set the example prac-
tically, and we hope the day will come when
editors of newspapers will have as much pride
and independence as persons in other vocations
Many of them are now placed in the position
Of paupers, only that they are fed by forced
levies from private individuals, instead of being
supported at the public cost. We take the
ground that no paper can be truly independent
that does not ignore the free system--ignore
it entirely. Why should not an editor pay for
his subsistence, his books, his clothes, his
amusements? Why should he be entitled to
courtesies never extended to persons in any
other trade, business or profession!
We are sensible that it is very delicate
matter to handle. A victim is necessarily
averse to cross examining an individual who
asks favor for popular journal. He likes the
paper SO we'll that he runs the risk of being swim
died rather than offend any of its writers. And
as there are some cases where it may be conve-
nient, and as it will relieve many we'll dis
posed persons from robbery, we shall hereafter
furnish our ottdclts, writer's, special correspond
ents and reporters, with conclusive evidence
of their authenticity. These credentials are
only to be used in cases of urgent nee essty,
especially in the acquisition Of news and only
entrusted to those persons in whom we have
confidence. They are not entitled to any IA
vors which other people have to pay for, and
we have adopted the system for the bene-
fit of those who are likely to become the victims
of swindlers For ourselves and our attaches
we long since adopted the motto "Pay as you
co." and we intend to adhere toit strictly,
