years of political and social turmoil have upset all
notions of right and order in Europe, armies of five
hundred thousand men are required in all powerful
States; and it is not only in Rome that they are re-
quired to support the principle of authority"
As for the means, NJ Dupanloup summarily dis
poses of them. The iniquity of the means equals
the absurdity of the principles The writer saws
"To restore Papal authority in Romagna would be
to intiict crushing blow the moral power of
Catholicism. For the Pope to gain possession of
those provinces would be disaster, not triumph"

Regarding the object, NJ. Dupanloup is equally

Y GU think the Pope vanquished because for
three months past his provinces have been kept in
revolt against him; your views are narrow, and,
allow me to say, your anticipations foolish We do
not yield so soon; the Popes have seen many such
trials, and still hold on. You think the Pope ru-
ined because the revolutionists, after swelling all
his expenses, declare his finances in bad state, and
in consequence you offer him pension But no,
he will not take it from your hands; perhaps you
might some day reproach him with your benefits,
or you would want to make him pay for them too
dearly. Aims, indeed Ali if the the Father of
the Faithful is to be brought so low he will re-
ceive it more noby from the hands of the poor than
from you. Five hundred bishops, who, all over
the world, have raised their voice in his behalf,
would again, if needs be, collect the old offering of
Peters pence, and the Roman Catholic world would
give him even soldiers if required. Do you sup
pose that Christian blood has ceased to flow in
veins, and that our hearts no longer beat in
bosoms? Mind what you do. You may, perhaps

THE PAMPHLET PANIC ON THE BOURSE.
Paris tDec 29l Correspondence Of London Post
The event of the day here has been a panic at the
Bourse. The Three per Cents have fallen 9Oc. on
yesterdays prices, closing at 68r. SOC. All other
quotations have fallen in proportion. The origin
of this panic variety of false reports got up
by interested parties to baisse. 1t said
the Papal NunciO had asked for his passports; that
there would be no Congress; and, finally, that revo-
lutionary movements had taken place in Hungary
and Croatia There is confirmation of any one
of these assertions in official quarters The French
government has not. am assured, received any de-
spatches from the Powers invited to meet in Con-

WASHINGTON NEWS.
Nothing, we believe, was mentioned during the
session of the United States Agricultural Society,
which took place last week in this city, respecting
the next annual fair; so that it so far left
certain whether there would be any fair this year
or not. But it appears that all regulations about
fairs properly belong to the Executive Committee,
and thus the omission is in good part if not wholly
accounted for. We should say, on general grounds,
that 1T is not likely the year will pass without the
holding of an exhibition somewhere, and it is likely
if one be held at all, it will be in Washington
Certainly, our turn has come, and city is better.
provided than this with accommodation for ''man
and beasts and where nobler and every way
more desirable location for fair be found than
the western part OF the Mall, at the foot Of the
Washington Monument, it would be hard to spe-
city; that is to say, if it can be obtained for the
purpose. We reason why such fair,
held next October, would not be one of the very
largest and most successful in the history of the
ciety. 1t would also furnish assistance, far from
desplcable, to the treasury of the Monument-h-
teiigencer.
Col. Lander's party has recently arrived in this
city from California, having completed the South
Pass and California Wagon Road. Ii has already
been stated that he has saved S5 900 of the amount
appropriated to the work, an almost unprecedented
thing in these times. The emgrants say the road
is an excellent one, being some two hundred and
fifty miles shorter than the old road by of
cut-ofs, and much better furnished with grass and
water for animals.
The forthcoming report from the Agricultural
Division of the Patent Office will be unusually
interesting, it embraces a number of ESSAYS from
able pens on important subjects. The article on
fertilizers by Mr.. Clemson, of Nd, is said to be
very excellent. An article the Agricultural
Division of the Patent Office shows what it is and
what it ought to be. There are several useful
articles grasses. An article on forest trees is
designed to call attention to the necessity of pre-
serving and increasing our forest timber. Articles
on the veterinary art-a subject little attended to
in this country-are worthy of careful considera-
tion.
Information was received here to-day that thirty
five hundred men in New Orleans ready
to embark for Vera Cruz They go out immi
grants and will be received into citizenship by the
JuareZ, or liberal government when they will be
mustered into service under American officers such
Generals Ring and Wheat and will sustain that
government until the Senate ratiies the McLane
treaty, which they expect will be speedily done.
Minister Bigler writes to the effect that he hopes
soon to be able to announce that the pending diff
culties between the two governments will be salts
tactOrily settled. The trouble growing ont of the
Trevtt affair may protract matters nasmuch as
the Chan government are not disposed to back
down from the position which they assumed in that
matter
In regard to Peru, there is no material change
in the aspect of affairs. The country was tranquil
but how long it would remain so it impossible
to tell, as there rumOrs of another revolution
in the south of that country, headed by a distin-
guished leader, who is known to be opposed TO the
present dynasty.
1t is reported that Captain Meigs, lately removed
as superintendent of the new wing of the Capitol,
is ordered to the Tortugas to superlntend some
important military works. If the House is ever
ganized committee will be raised to investigate
the extravagant expenditures upon the Capitol, and
then Captain Meigs will be an important witness.
The Senate Brown Raid Investigating Committee
have concluded their examination of the Harper's
Ferry witnesses, eliciting nothing important that
has not been published. They have also examined
sundry documents found in Old Browns bag and
upon the persons of the other prisoners.
The people at Arizona, at the latest accounts
were discussing the question of provisional gov
ernment, district organization from New Mexi-
CO, in Congress fails to establish territorial
government for Arizona.
Dispatches have been received at the Depart
ment of State, brought by the North Star, from
our Ministers at Chill and Peru.

| FALL OF AxoTHER BUILDING AND Loss Of LIFE
! The Memphis Argus, of the 18th inst, gives the
following account of the fail of a building in that
| city:
| About seven o'clock this morning portion of
! the extensive slave mart of Messrs. Forrest Jones
| 4 Co., on Adams street, fell with terrible crash.
| Six negro men, who were in the building at the
| time of the occurrence, were buried beneath the
| huge pile Of rubbish. In few moments sixty or
! seventy persons commenced removing the dead and
wounded from the shapeless pile, and by eleven
O'Clock the work was accomplished. 1t was at first
thought that fourteen or fifteen negroes had been
caught by the falling building, but a subsequent
examination showed that but six missing
| Two of these were taken out dead, and horribly
mangled, and the other four very badly wounded.
One two of the latter it is thought have received
| injuries which will prove fatal.
The fallen building is of brick and erected
| during the past summer. The heavy rains with
which this vicinity has been visited the past few
days, had proved too much for that portion of the
building, and undoubtedly the cause of the
accident as there has been no violent wind-storm.
The loss to the building will not exceed So. 900.
