Napoleon's Manifesto.

1t is impossible mt to be carried back half q
century and centuries befure that, when VIC
see agnin the address Of French Emperor on
his departure to take command uf his army in
ltaly. Tie Emperor hll4sc!f anticipates this
comment. lie agows his sympathy with i poo

lie iuyites tic French TO enter classic ground
illustrated by so many victories, to seek tile
footsteps ofthcir fathers. 1t is always better 10
confront suspicion, and deny ayer>c onlens; and
no doubt the world at large will b. only too
ready to observe that France has gone the old
way, in the old manner.
The Emperor claims for France 70 be now
wiser and better by that experience which Is
the ground Of our suspicious. His object Is to
restore Italy to berself-to remove from the
| Pope that 1ore1.n pressure which weighs on the
| whole peninsula, and help establish order based
| on the satisfaction Of ley sitmate interests. All
this can only mean the expulsion Of every for
t dependence. Such arc the objects Of France in
the war The invasion ofPic1mont by thc Aus

Consols bear an interest Of three per cent per
annum. One reason why they hare not inain-
tained higher value during the present centu-
ry is to be found in the fact Of the
greater magnitude Of commercial and other en-.
tcrpriscs. requiring the expenditure Of large
sums ofmoney, and the consequent higher rates
Of interest paid By private individuals and cor
porations. As an Investment, Consols, Mt any
Thing like their par value, are not remarkably
profitable, but, except on the extraordinary oc-
casions alluded to ADORE, they have always been
tavorably regarded by Englishmen who are
wont to think more highly Of rcliable security
than Of the promise Of large profits without it.
ltis probable that the price will not again fall
below present quotations during the continu-
ance of the war; it may 60 up to the point
reached in November and December last But
whatever may be the result, there is no reason
to believe thut any possible contingency in af-
fairs can knock down rates to the points reached
in troubous times during tic eighteenth cen
fury The confidence Of the English people in
the permnnence and the power of their govern
ment is too well grounded TO render such de-
cline at all probable.

4 brief history Of the fluctuations in the price
of Consols will not be uninteresting ut the pres
ent time. Notwithstanding the abundant
supply of capital in Europe there are only four
years in the present century in which the price
Of Copsols has re achrd par-two Of which we're

Moro OF the Youthful Chtva1ry.
The rcjoiuder Of o. Jennings Wise to the
card Of John Minor Bolts, which We noticed in
tie Press AND TRIBUNE some days ago, has
brought out Mr.. 3. d. Bolts, son Of John N.
The last cpistle is SO short and racy, and couch
cd in such choice language, Tint VIC feel con-
strained to give it entire, as specimen of 1ir-
ginia chivalrY and manners. Here it is:
R1rHsoxn. May l., 1sS9.
To 0. JENNINGS WISE, ESQ. From tho mo-
ment you brcamc resident Of this city to the
present, you hare been playing the part Of u
bully, u braggar, and b!ackguard; like Il
poisonous reptile, seemingly indifferent at
whom, or at what party you struck, provided
YOU had victim on whum your venom could be
poured, until by common consent you have
come 10 be regarded as IN insuderable nuisancc
tn tue society in w:.1,@.l sou have taken up your
abode. In y,a: card Of yesterday, aimed at
QUE whom y,"a could not offend, and who has not
dignitied your epistte by perusal Of its filthy
contents, because he is far ubore your reach,
neither baudy epitsets nor engage in 4 personal
quarrel with our Of your years, you have re-
sorted TO tissue Of low, vulgar, and calunninus
falschoods, which no citizen Of respectabilitv
will recognize or indorse, and which only could
have c!'l:lnated from heart filled with malig-
nifty, deprasIty and vice. To accomplish poll
,ic;4l end, and without provocation. you fave
made statements so notorously un{ounded and
untrue, displayed such reckless disregard Of a
tlat is manly, honorable or admissible in politi
| cal or personal warfare, 50 offended against al
dccepcs. dccorum and good breeding, as to hav.
outraged the feelings Of his family, his friends
and sueiety generally. You haze, therefore
! left MIR, his only son, no alternative hui to pro
nounce you base, malignant, depravcd calunl
niator und talsitier Of truth, honor, and gentle
manly Instincts, to whicf, none but an OUTLAW
and Il ruitian would have rcsortcd.
