Louis Napoleon's General Amnesty.

PARIS, August Is. No doubt seems to DO
entertained that yesterdays amnesty is com.
plete and unlimited in all respects, that 1t
passes the sponge oyer every past offence,
and relieves all persons from the action OF
ths law of public safety, so long. as they
shall not incur fresh condemnation from
the tribunals. The satisfaction it gives Is
great and general, not only here but, &C
cording to telegraphic correspondence,
among the majority of the e1iles in London
and Brussels, who are particularly pleased
with the absence Of oil conditions, and many
of the principal Of whon, it is said, propose
Immediately returning to France.
The measure, itappears, extended not only
to refugees but to persons suffering Danish,
ment in the French ponal settlements ana
two steamers have started for Algeria ana
Guiana, in order to bear tho good news
sneedily to the unfortunate men who have
at various times been transported thlther on
account of real or alleged political offences
Surprise WAS the first emotion excited by
this important decree; there was. perhaps,
a little want of confidence: but when people
had time to reflect on the measure, and to
recognize that it was not only one OF clenl-
sncy' but in fact the wisest thing the EmPer.,
or GOULD do, any lingering mistrust melted
away and yas replaced by satisfaction ana
gratitude. All the Paris papers OF any
mark are warm in their acknowledgements.

n 8. Dickinson, of New York.

We believe, and shall contend, that the
nominee of the Charleston Convention should
he Southern man, and that justice and
policy alike demand that the great body OF
Democratic States-the stronghold OF Ma
tional Democracy-deservc the compliment
of the nomination and we are proud OF the
fact that we have in the Southern States able
and distinguished statesmen-men OF we'll
balanced inteieats and eminent public SER
yices-men with the calm dignity and mod,
est worth of James Madison, who would add
dignity to the highest executive office. But,
should the Charleston Convention, in lts
wisdom, disregard the natural and just
wishes of tho South, and select for our stan
dard-bearer sound National Democrat from
one of the free States, no selection would afford
more enthusiastic delight, and unoounded
pleasure, than that Of Mr.. Dickinson. The
Virginia Democracy at Baltimore, IN lSoZ,
displayed their admiration for him by cast
ine the electoral vote of the State tor him
in Convention, and he occupies as high q
place in their affections now, as ne did then.

A National Opposition.

The Philadelphia North American says
Eve want National Opposition. A SEQ
tional Opposition is doomed. The great ma
terial interests demand attention. For years
they have been put aside for other and more
improbable concerns, until the expenditures
have run up nearly to one hundred millions
of dollars year, and corruption and extrav-
acance have invaded almost every depart
meut of the government Upon the basis oil
a general reform, the Opposition can elect
any proper candidate. Upon any narrower
or merely slavery platform, the result OF 1896
will be repeated only more disastrously."
1t adds-'Lct it be remembered that. IN
driving off several of the Southern States, by
the prescription which is recommended ny
ultra Republicans. that is not the only mischief
to be expected Pennsylvania, as the New
York Tribune candidly admits, is not lie,
publican State, in the party significance OF
that term. Neither is New Jersey, nor In
diana, nor Conn ecticut, nor other States
which might be named. The Opposition
succeeded in all of them by fusion Of the
elements hostile to the Administration and
its party, and that is the only policy which
will put victory beyond doubt in 1860. The
rule or ruin interest, which dominated III
1856, and discarded the adYlce OF Pennsylva:
mia, may be able to pack Convention next
year, and it may make candidate, but II
can never make a President"

Rolling Mills in the South.

Our readers are already aware of the TACT
that a Rolling Mill, for the manufacture and
re- rolling of rails, is now in successful opera
ton at Atlanta, in the State of Georgia.
When this enterprise was commenced, 1t was
regarded as a matter of so much Importance
as to Justify the formal notice of the South
ern Commercial Convention. At the meet
ing of that body in May, 1858, special com
mittee was appointed to investigate the sub,
iect and to "report all the facts connected
with 80 important an enterprise TO our
Southern railroads and the Iron interests OF
the South"
The Report of that committee is now before
US. The Report commences with descrlp-
ton of the mill itself. The building is stu.
ated Just outside of the corporate limits OF
Atlanta. 1t is two hundred and FIVE feet in
length and one hundred and forty feet in
width, and fifty feet high. Attached to the
mill are six acres of land for Offices and other
buildings connected with the main establish
ment, and for boarding-houses and private
residence for the operatives. The capacity
of the mill is represented by the committee to
be equal to twelve thousand tons OF iron rail
per wear, and, if required, its machinery can
be Increased, at small expense, so as to turn
out eighteen thousand tons. The mill is built
with all the modern English improvements
Rails are made in about one-half the time
formerly taken before these Improvements
were introduced. Employment is given to
from one hundred to one hundred and fifty
men. If We estimate that FIVE persons
women and chldren--are dependent upon
the labor Of each operative, it will be seen
that such an establishment at once adds SIX
or seven hundred permanent population to
the town in which its located.-LyHchburg

The HARVEST IN ESGLASD.-The London
Aug. III correspondent Of the National In.
telligencer, says that the leading subject of
interest there Ut that date was the harvest,
which was then very general through the
midland and even the northern counties Of
England. and was nearly completed in the
south. There was prevalent notion that
the wheat was affected by mldew, but not
to any alarming extent. 1t was thought
that should the weather continue moderate
ly favorable, the produce would be proba-
bly, above the average. The sudden and
carly ripening Of the crop had caused an
increased demand for labor and better wa
ges were being given than had been for seve.
ral years tast.

crop, We are sorry that we cannot also speak
in the same strain. But the facts will not
justify it. If it shall turn out an average
crop, it will do fully as much as can be ex-
pected, or more. The cane is some two or
three weeks behindhand and some of it looks
