The Two Emperors.

Louis Napoleon, in an address to "the great
bodies Of the State" and the Emperor of Aus
tris, in published Manifesto, make known t(
the world the causes which induced them respect
lively to bring the war to close. The two En-
perors should nave compared notes at that fra
ternal meeting at Vallegio, so as to have some
sort of consistency in their statements. Asst is
their accounts of the state of affairs are ludic
rously contradictory. The French Emperor
says when he arrived beneath the walls OF We
ropa, he found himself Sin the face OF Europe il
arms" ready to dispute his success or aggravat'
his reverses. The Emperor of Austria declare
that in spite of the acknowledged justice of hi
cause, his natural and ancient allies, "the gov
ernments and peoples of Germany" stood aloof
and consequently Austria would have been o.
bliged all alone to face tho events" &c. 1t Ii

SUDDEN DEAYH-Mr. Henry Myers, who had
been driving stage for MesSrs. Chichester, Rapey
& Co., on the Des Arc and Fort Smith line,
during the past twelve months died suddenly at
the Des Arc Hotel, in Des Arc, on Wednesday
evening last. Mr. Myers had complained OF
being unwell during the forenoon, and soon after
took his bed. A physician had visited him,
when he was seized with en- apopleotio fit and
died in G. short time. His age was about ~
years, We learn that the deceased was formerly
of Stanton, Augusta county, Virginia, near
which place he has two daughters and other
relatives. At one time he was in the employ
of Edwin Porter & Co., and drove teams out OF
Stanton and Warm Springs. Mr.. Myers was
highly esteemed as trustworthy and industri-
GUS gentleman. At the time Of his death, he
was within q lew days Of leaving for Virginia
had settled up his business, and made all neces-
sary preparations for his departure. His effects
are in the hands of gentemen who will take care
of them until his relatives send for them. For
any information in reference to the deceased,
his relatives or friends gre requested to address

BLoNDN AT THE FALLs-The Buffalo Courier
gives the following farther account of Blondin,
WHO has been astonishing tile nat7es by crossing
the river at Niagara Falls on a rope:
Next to Louis Napoleon Blondin is confessedly
the most wonderful of Frenchmen. At the Falls
yesterday he performed all he promised, and
more. Between aud o'clock he crossed the
rope for the fourth time. He was dressed in
Indian costume. His journey to the Canada side
was not marked by any feat of peculiar daring.
He went over on trot, merely halling for an
instant to balance himself His homeward trip,
however, completely eclipsed his previous feats.
When about one quarter of the way across he
stood on his head, holding the balance pole in
bis hands, little farther along he laid down
on his back, with apparent composure. When
near the centre of the rope he tied his balance
pole to the guy rope, and navigated by means of
his hands and feet, his body being in state OF
suspended animation beneath. After proceed
ing some distance in this way he assumed per-
pendcular position and returned for the balance
pole, and then walked on. Another feat which
he performed was turning sort of handspring.
Lying down on his back, he extended the BAL
ance pole the length of bis arms, and then threw
his body over the pole, striking astrde the rope.
Without the pole he hung by one leg from the
rope and supported himself by one arm. During
his passage he stood on his head several times
and performed variety of feats which we have
not time to recapitulate. The number of per-
sons present was greater than at any previous
exhibition. A special train on the Great West
ern brought several hundreds. Rochester and
Buffalo turned out their thousands, while Oleve-
land, Erie, Dunkirk and other considerable
nlacea cont laroa dalaoationa

The DuellO.

The Baltimore American concludes an article
on tho late artistic duel between two gentle
men of this State, as follows;
"SeIf preservation is an instinct, and all that
man hath will he give for his life. On this
ground we justify the killing OF man who him-
self intends murder. By the weakness OF hu,
man nature, and the power OF passion excited
by insult or injury, we account for, and in
measure excuse assaults made in hot blood
None but ruffian viii ayenge himself Oh the
BODY of an offender after there has been time tol
the blood to cool. In what does the duellsi
differ from the ruffian except that he gives his
victim notice. If newspapers OF standing and
influence would unite in denouncing the duelist
and the duel instead of spreading the contempt
ible puerilities of the code of honor before the
publio-instead of giving the same prominence
and Importance TO the sayings of principals and
seconds, as to the utterances of Kings and
Statesmen-the time would soon arrive when a
man would shrink from proclaiming himself at
once sinner, a criminal, and fool; and the
duellist would stand upon the same level with
the bullyn

BARBARIo Troops FOR THE BRITISH Army
The adoption of the Zouaves and Turcos into the
French army, ard their successes against the
European troops, have melted the British gov.
eminent 10 attempt the organization of similar
corps from their colonies in the West Indies
Some time ago the black soldiers in Bermuda
were uniformed la zouave, and we now learn
thatorders have been issued by the War De-
partment for the transportation of three thous.
and Jamaica negroes to England. Once arrived
they are to be drilled in the of the latest and
most destructive patterns of small arms. and
trained to serve the new rifed cannon. When
this first squad has been incorporated with the
army, it will doubtless be followed by others
until the English will have black division
which will cope, in barbarity and ferocity al
least, with the Turcos. In case of war be-
tween England and France, it would be curious
to see these troops pitted against each other
but they are edged tools, which the European
governments may find exceedingly dangerous
playthings.-N. Y. Herald.

Hon EDWARD BATES ON THE SUNDAY LAWS.
st. Louis has been passing through period OF
excitement, like many other large cities, in re-
gard to enforcing the Sunday laws. 10 meet
Ing on this subject, held there on Saturday night,
Mr.. Bates, who lives in the country, wrote the
following explicit and admirable letter:
81 am very sorry to hear that there is any &C.
casicn for popular demonstration to uphold an
institution SO ancient, so sacred, so lawful, and
so necessary to the peace, the comfort and the
responsibility of society. Its religious character
as holy day, ought alone to be sufficient tor its
protection in Christian community but, that
failing, surely the laws of the land, made for its
security, ought to be as strictly enforced as the
laws made for the protection of persons and
property. Vice and crime are always progress
ssive and cumulative. If the Sunday laws be
neglected or despised the laws of persons and
property will soon share their fate, and be O.
qually disregarded. Most respectfully,
EDWARD BATES"

KENTUcKY.-Magofin, Democrat, has beer
elected Governor by about five thousand ma
iority. The Democrats have also majority il
the State Legislature, and seven of the ten mem
bers of Congress. The Opposition have gained
one member at this election. 1t is thought thai
Vice President Breckenridge will be elected U
nited States Senator, to succeed Mr. Crttenden
The New York Herald attributes the defeat O
the Opposition to the grounds taken by tEeiI
candidate for Governor on the slavery question
1t SAYS: SIN the border slave States the people
are not disposed to follow Southern ultra alb
stractions any more than they are disposed tc
countenance the emissaries of Northern fanati
cism."

Democratic candidate, is reelected Governor
over Sanford, Independent Democrat. The en-.
tire Congressional delegation is Democratic, as
heretofore.

Gratis, are in doubt.
NORTH CARoLNA.-Gains for the Opposition

sition, has been elected over Shaw, the present
Democratic member, by over 500 majority, and

journalism.

The Philadelphia Bulletin aludeS to the bick,
erings of the New York newspapers, and says:
"The daily papers of Philadelphia might be
hunted through for year, and there would not
be found in them so much of temper and person
atty as may be found in the New York daily pa
pers in single week. The conductors of re-
spectacle papers here have found out long age
that there is nothing so offensive to the mass Of
readers, in civilized, intelligent community like
this, as personalities and abuse. Especially dc
the public despise the professional quarrels Of
journalists, which, let them spring from what
they may, are sure to be attributed-and often
rightly-to jealousy. All the abuse that pa
per may indulge itself in will never make the
public think we'll of it, or worse of the object
of it.n

Ministers, Salaries.

We refer to ministers of the Gospel, not min
listers of State. The latter are well enough paid
for their services, such as they generally are
but the former, Us class, are VIGOROUSLY the
worst paid body of men in the country. Popu-
lar preachers in the cities are of course hand
somely supported, but the large majority OF the
Clergy, of all denominations, receive little more
than keeps them Just above want, and many not
even that. II is not desirable that preaching
should become q money-making business, but ii
is disgraceful to our protested Christianity that
those who minister in holy things should not re-
ceive competent maintenance. The merest
sneculatiye believer in the doctrines of the Bible,
unless he be a Quaker, acknowledges the impor-
lance of the ministerial office; members OF the
Church profess to hold it in the highest esteem
yet how often is it the case that olergymen
whose character aud services are universally ap-
proved, are permitted to want the common ne
cesssries of lfe2 Even persons who have uni
ted in inviting them to take charge OF particular
congregations and have promised to render to
them all things just and right, suffer this state
of affairs to continue year after year, while they
themselves are adding bond to bond and acre to
acre. The Pastors claim to support is not
based upon charity, as many persons seem to
think; it is claim for services rendered, which
cannot be honestly repudiated any more than
any other debt. The laborer is worthy of hi;
hire, as well in this as in other departments o.
human labor.
But the sufFerings of ministers arise principal
" from the want OF punctuality in the payment
of their stipeuds. Sporting men pay gambling
debts with the utmost promptness. The law
cannot reach such cases; they are "debts o
honor" and therefore must be met without de-
lay. Ministers dues are in higher sense debts
of honor; the law is never called in to enforce
their payment; no Pastor or body of Church
trustees ever sees delinquent subscriber. Why
then, the difference
