The Turin correspondent of L'Iadepea
dance Beige says that he is able to state, in
general way, that the French and Sar-
dinian Governments have come to definite
understanding as to the cession of Savoy
and the annexation of Central Italy The
cesSion aud annexation will be proclaimed
some time during the month of March
They are delayed only in order to ascertain
for certainty that Palmerston will remain
in power in England, aud that sno opposi-
tion is to be expected from Parliament. As
Russia has recently announced to the Sar-
dinian Government her intention to take
the initiative for new diplomatic Congress,
her attitude is not considered to be threa.

egone of the editors of the Chicago Press
and Tribune, now at Washington, writes that
MI. Kellogg in his recent speech sustained his
allegation that Greeley and Douglas had con-
sPired for the purpose Of returning the Little
Giant to the U. S. Senate, by ap overwhelming
array Of testimony, and that the speech has
made greater sensation in the House than any
yet delivered. 1t completely foreclOses Douglas

The wrath Of the Commonwealth Of Wiz.
ginia demanded the death of the two re.
manning prisoners captured by the United
States troops aud the Virginia forces at
Charestown. The last Of the little group
Of men, who, with JOHN BRowN for Cap
tain, took possession Of city Of that state,
and held il until overpowered by superior
numbers, have expiated their offensc on
the gallows. Virginia demNnds other VIC
Tins, but it is not probable that her unsa-
tiated vengeance will be further appeased
by human sacrifice. The seml.madman and
absurd politician, Wise, would only have
carried out his political programme by
hanging these misguided youth, but it was
supposed that Virginia, under new ad-
ministration would be magnanimous and
spare them. 1t is difficult TO conceive of
any reasonable motive, or any end of State
policy or Of human justice, to be accom-
plshed by the death of these young men,
1t is true, they had violated law, and that
their lives were forfeited to the offended
majesty of Virginia the punishment of
their ohense the law had declared to be
death Five other men had been hung for
the same oflense, participators with these
last victims in the same crime. Blood
enough had been shed, one might reason
ably suppose, to satisfy vengeance aud to
deter Others from the commission Of sim.
liar crime If Virginia desired to crafty
her vengeance, in the killing of these men,
it was pusillaumous if she desired the
example OF their DEATHS she had already
afforded that eXamplein the death of Brown
and his confederates. If she was really
afraid of them, it was the basest fear that
ever brought pallor to the lips of towards
a fear into which the State had been thrown
by the man@uvering of an ambitious politi
cal poltroon, who can only get rid Of this
title and shield himself from the infumy O
bis conduct by the plea of insanity. A
sad affair for Virginia, this of old Johr
Brown,-a very sad affair, considering tn,
manner in which Wise acted, in his capaci
ty of Governor. Think of the number O
troops called out, the military encampmen
l-Chareston under military law--canno
every where-armed sentncls at the stree
Icorners--vdettes thrown out as if to waite
the approach Of invaders-patro of hors
aud foot-cavalry cantering into the cit
and then out agaiu-the trial of the pri.
oners, carried into Court, one of Them on
bed, the others pleading to their iDdict
ments with band0gcs covering open wound
on the head-sick, weary, hopeless-cor
fronted with an angry audience, hostil
court, and drunken prosecutor-surrounde
by armed guardS-and all this performe
with that ambition for disp ay, and abov
all, military display, which the Virginia
tire-eaters seem to love most of all thing
"a show of gold lace and gilt buttons, {
epauIettes and swords, and all that sort
stuff. Think of all this, we say, and le
US ask, did ever such a silly and yet melar
choly affair happen under the sun, in all
part of the round world Buff Express

RIoH Mes OF New YORK.--The New York
correspondent of the Charleston Mercury says:
"The late Mr. Stephen Whitney is spo-
ken of in the papers as the third richest
man 10 New York. | should say he was
the second The first, as everybody knows,
is Mr. VIM. B Astor. His property is
not far from $23, 600, 900, or abont twice
what his father left him, About three
fourthS Of his money is invested in city
houses and stores, in eligible locations, from
which he derives an enormous annual reve.
nue.. Mr.. Astor keeps out Of public life
altogether, and does not have large pri-
vate acquaintance. To the world he is
rather cold and distant--like all other first
class nillionaires--but in the circle of his
intimate friends he is said to warm up and
deport himself very joVially. Mr.. Whit
ney's fortune was about $4,000, 900, which
is much larger than that of Cornelius Van
derbilt, who has been set down by some Of
the omniscient journalists as CrGsus No. 2
of New York City Mr. Vanderbilt is
worth Sc, 000, 900, perhaps. After him there
are dozen persons who would claim the
honor of the fourth place, but would give
it to Mr.. Peter Cooper, estimating him at
about $3,000,O00. OF citizens who can
honestly call themselves "millionaires, y
there are probably about thirty"

The Rochester Express records the death OF
daughter of FREDERICK DOUGLASS. Since
her fathers absence she had lost her appetite
and interest in her occupation, and had gradual
ly sunk away aud died. She had got the idea
firmly fixed in her mind that her father would
never come back, and that if he did return he
would have to go to prison aud execution.

The Richmond ERqaircr is discussing a
point Of much importance to the Democrat
ie party, whether the Republican States
shall be allowed TO frame the platform at
Charleston 1t argues strongly in oppUsi-
tion on the ground that while two.thirds Of
the electoral vote is necessary to nominate
the candidate, a bare majority is required
TO adopt the platform of q party whose
motto is principles not men," Though
not mistrusting northern democrats, it holds
that the adoption of doctrines denying the
equality Of the South in the territories, or
declaring that their legislatures have power
to abolish or impair slavery, would lose
half of the southern states, while such a
platform would not carry one at the North,
II northern delegates, therefore, are true
to the constitution they will "adopt with
out question or dispute, the platform of
principles which the southern States may
present, and thus quiet forever the charges
and insinuatious of uusounduess lcveled at
them by the southern opposition.

SEwARD'S SrEEcu.-No higher compliments
has been paid to Senator Seward in view o.
his great speech, than is to be found in some OF
his most viruleut opponents. The Southern
Con- afederacy, which our readers will at once
recognize as the paper from which we have taken
some Of the most intoerant, vituperative and
vindctivc diatrbes against the north, says Of it
Every Southern man in the political history oi
hs country should read this speech, and Judge
for himself In manner and matter it is highly
characteristic Of the author. In system, it is
a COOL dispasSionate, comprehensive argument,
not remarkable for eloquence or brilliaucy. but
highly intellectual in its several parts and as O
whole, grand and massive structure of anti
slavery lanaticism. VIM. II. Seward is the
greatest, as well as the most dangerous, of all
the Black Republican leaders. His phiosoph-
ical mind has grasped the subject of African
Slavery, and aDalyzed it in all its parts and be
announces his conclusions ccolly, deliberately
aud dspassionately, Seward does not try to
shirk any one Of the essential points growing
out of the great antagOnistic ideas held by the
North and the South. He grasps hold of the
great subject, handles it with the haud of q
master, and lays bare every issue. In debate
he is calm, dign6ed, philosophical. far-seeing
sagacious and by his high-tOned and gentle
manly bearing, he always commands the respect
of his politial opponents. He never stoops to
personal abuse or denunciation; he never shows
resentment or i'll feeling he is at all times and
IN all places the same cool, calculating, dspas-
sionate theorist, with one end in view, and with
the immovable conviction resting upon him that
the end willUe attained"

ANOTHER SrArE.--Not satisfied with the
fact that every inch Of country Introduced
into the Union since 1851 has been slave
territory, or, as 10 the case Of California,
considered such, ia the South, they are now
speaking of new State, giving them Of
course two more Senators. This however
is not new project, but the revival of that
one seeking to make new State out oI
Northern Mississippi, Western Tennessee,
and the extreme western part Of Kentucky.
Meme of these States have tithe Of the
population which they are able to support
did they enjoy free Institutions, and the on.
ly advantage they can hope to derive from
it, is in their identity with the slave inter-
est, while their true interest and glory is in
their relief, now not remote from the in
cubus of that system, as IL will enable the
slave representation to be stronger in the
Senate and hence do more mischief and
keep the slave interest in power. What
gives this matter Importance is that the
Tennessee Legislature has approved it.

JoRDoN is HARD ROAD TO TRAvEL.--
The ordor of popularity which Mr.. Doug.
las friends have attempted to throw around
the squatting colossus, appears to be q lit
tie to volatile for use, in any useful form.
An allusion to his irregular and devious
course, in his treatment of the issues OF the
day, are found to be difficult of reconclllla'
tion to the popular notions But snper-
fetal glance at the record shows on incon-
sistency and heresy which human Ingenuity
and shrewdness can never reconcile. Be-
fore he became as notorious, aud as corrupt
as at present, he was an advocate of the
Missouri Compromise, and treated it as q
sacred compact, TO be observed as faithfully
as the Constitution. Next, under prctence
of inauguratiag the doctrine of Popular
Sovereignty, be places himself at the head
of movement having for its object the
overthrow Of that time-honored ordinance.
This was accomplished under the pretext
that the people of the Territory would be
left free to regulate their institutions ia
their own way, and might introduce or ex-
clude Slavery as they saw fit. Then came
the Dred Scott decision, declaring that
slavery existed by virtue of the Federal
Constitution, and that the sanction of that
instrument entitled it to protection in the
Territories and that no power existed in
the people to exclude it, however desirioui
they might be to do so. Did Mr.. Douglas

ular Sovereignty, thus stricken down anC
