GVThe Charleston Mercury (Buch. has in its
last issue, an article on the form of Government
which is to prevail il the future Southern confed-
eracy. Hear it,
''Next in.importance to what we have consid-
cred as a fixed fact-the speedy dissolution Of the
Uuion-must be ranked the question of the terms
which the Southern States should unite as a
confederate government. We have alluded to
this matter before, in pointing out how COM
p!ctely the South would be master of its foreign
relations, by regulating the scale of duties on
imports. There are no interests of ours that for
eign nations can make war upon, without striking
at themselves. We have, therefore, the great
power of Peace 10 our hands.'
In conclusion the Sage advises the future Con-
federacy to have no President. That fellow ought
to &c be delivered" safely of one more :" fixed
fact and then have leather medal hung round
his neck, marked in big letters D. F.

A SrIMULANT TO PATRIOTIsN.--William Long is
the name of u trumpeter lad who went to the
Crimea ut the age of thirteen. He was frightened
at the whstling Of cannon balls on the banks of
Alma for the space of half an hour, but never
has been afraid of them since. The night after
the battle he was found by an officer lying under
a bush half dead from exhaustion he was wrap
ped in horse rug and carried to the camp, where
he speedily recovered. LIE sounded his trumpet
at Balaklava, at lnkermann, and during the whole
siege at Sebastopol. Ills comrades gave him the
highest praise for his insrepidity. He would ride
through storm of shot to carry provisions to
men in the trenches, and when he could be spared
he attended the sick with all the care Of Night
ingale. He returns to his native town of Wool

O. Within a few weeks past, the following
churches in New York State have been forcbiy
entered and nearly all robbed of carpets and other
articles: An Episcopal Church in Hoboken the
Episcopal Church at Fort Lee; the Baptist and
Reform Dutch Church at New Durham; the Re-
formed Dutch Church at English Neighborhood
the Seceder Church at Hackensack and we have
heard rumor that the Reformed Dutch Church
at Schraalenberg has shared the same. The horse
of the Dominic at the las. place has also been
stolen, and one of the dominies ut uackensack
being awakened by the barking of his dog, arose
just in time to save his horse, which was found
at the barn saddled, ready for use.

Our Past---Our Future.

The New York Tribune, in summing up the re-
suit of the Presidential contest, says:
''For that glorious party which has sprung to
life under the inspiration of generous indgna-
tion at their wrongs and sympathy with their cf-
forts, we DO not regret it. To that party the
future presents cloudless sky. All the poor ira
which has been used to blind and dclude the
PeOple-the babble about Fremont's birthplace,
cattle contracts, duels unfaught,) Ronanism, ,Ec.,
are henceforth lumber Of the past. The pretense
chat ''bleeding Kansas was an invention Of the
Republicans to carry the election can deceive no
one longer. Thousands who would not hear or
read the truth with regard to daily occurrences on
the Missouri border will hear and read it now,
when they know that it cannot have been trump
ed up to elect Fremont or defeat Buchanan.
Those who did not mean, IN voting for Buchanan,
to doom Kansas to Slavery against her will, will
be enlightened by the results certain to follow.
The Slave Power has won ii great triumph; il
will take care to improve and ENJOY it. Only 10,
the people observe and read what must inevitably
follow this result, and they cannot long acquiesce
in the rule which a majority have unwittingiy in
voked.-Meantme, let US quietly preserve and
perfect our organizations; let each township and
ward have its Republican Club, composed of all,
whether few or many, who are willing to labo,
for the unObstrusive dissemination of truth, and
this hour OF darkness will prelude glorious morn
ing. The overthrow Of the slave breeders rule
is too great, too bene6cent revolution to be eff.
fected in year; with time, faith and energy
victory must enure to the Right.

BARON HUMBOLDT ON AMERICAN SLAVERY. II
was our fortune, in the year 1850, to accompany
distinguished American on a visit to Baron Won
Humboldt at Potsdam. After expatiatins long
and eloquently upon the exhnustless resources,
the marvellous progress and the glorious destinies
Of the United States, and expressing, in language
OF similar arior and animation his own love and
admiration for the country, the venerable philo-
sSpher added, addressing our American friend ::
"But there is one thing, sir, which grieves me
more than can describ ;, and that is the policy
you have lately adopted in regard to slaves. l
am not SO unreasonable as to expect that you
should instantly emancipate your slaves. l know
well the formidable difficulties that you have to
contend with in solving the problem of slavery.
But what occasions deep sorrow and pain, believe
me, to all lovers of your great country, is to find
that instead of adopting any means, however slow
and gradual, to relieve yourselves of it, you are
constantly trying to extend aud consolidate a
system which is not only opposed to all the
principles of morality, but, it appears to me,
pregnant with appalling and inevitable dangers
to the future of the Republic itself. Tell your
country this from me.' These are wise and
worthy words. coming from an authority than
whom there exists not a greater at this moment
on the face of the earth.

TIE KNour AND THE PELr. "A German paper
of which you have possibly never heard before,
tie Europa, gives interesting details touching an
instrument which tine world has heard great deal
Of, but Of which an erroneous notion is entertain
ed in western Europe-the knout and the pet.-.
The first is a long aud narrow thong, studded
Throughout with long narrow points. 1t is general
ly put to soak in a kind of vicious liquid, which
deprives it of it's lexibility, and makes it very
hard and heavy. The two edges of the thong are,
while it is still pliable, brought nearly close to-
gether. The knout thus forms a kind Of gutter
throughout its length, with the exception of its
upper extremity, which the execulioner hollis in
his hand. The edges are as sharp as knife and
owing to the peculiar shape Of tho instrument,
each blow inflicted wrenches of as it were, piece
of flesh exactly of the same length and breadth
as the krout. If the blows are inflicted without
any regard to the patients powers of endurance,
he generally faints at the third blow. An ukase
of Peter the Great fixed the maximum number oe
ashes at 1O1 but that number invariably results
in the death of the sufferer long before the COM
peton of his punishment.
The pelt, which is kind of diminutive knout,
consists of three thongs, rather thicker than the
whips used by the Cossacks at one end three
bullets are attached to them, at the other they
are united into long strip of leather, which the
executioncr rolls round his hand. The punishment
is not so severe as tho knout, as it does not
laccrate the skin but the ribs are generally brok-
ca, and pulmonary Consumption generally ensues.
