Of one thing the democrats MY be well
assnred-that the character and prestige of
the United States in the eyes of Europe de-
pend on their federal union Lord North
saw this when he skilfully proposed COM
promise which would have had the effect of
iselating some from the rest, and Burke re-
sisted his scheme of conciliaton on that
very ground. @ Hoe Hhecus relt;" the stub
born and mutinous spirit of the South is
falling into the tactics of the enemies of
American independence. Let there be no
mistake as to English public opinion on this
subject. If we have paid a sincere homage
to the rising greatness of America, it has
not been to that which the southerners are
so anxious to conserve, but to that which
they are striving to destroy. All that is
noble and venerable in the United States
is associated with its Federal Constitution
rufiians in Congress, or the filibustering
aggrandizement of the South, from the
Mexican annexations downward, or the fu-
gitive slave law, or the Dred Scotu decision.
or the Kansas-Nebraska act it is not these
or any other triumph of democratic inso-
lence during their ascendancy of half
century, that has commanded the sympathy
and admiration of Europe. We have judged
these things leniently, as the actions Of
great men and great nations ought to be
judged, because we knew the perilous con-
ditions under which so mighty an enter
prise as the civilization of America must
of necessity be carried out, and have con-
fidence in the practical good sense of the
American character. A certain hectoring
tone, arising from the exuberant conscious
ness of health and strength, is characters
| tic of adolescence, but no such allowance
is made for deliberate acts of lawless vio-
lence. Even now, so long as the agitation
is confined to bullying and insults, to "re-
taliatory laws" and indignation meetings
in the form of conventions, we shall not
despair. High pressure, moral as well as
mechanical, is the rule in America, and
| threats of civil war may be used there in a
strictly parliamentary sense. But if this
rough sparring should by any chance be
carried too far, and the threat so often ut
tered in jest or wantenness should be re-
peated in earnest and lead to bloodshed, it
is some comfort that the aggressors will not
be the stronger party. Mr.. Lincoln will in
that case command a majority in Congress,
and will carry with him the support of all
those who, however tolerant of slavery, will
not tamely acquiesce in it's becoming the
basis of an illegal and hostile Confedera =
ton.

HEAVY on SOUTH CARoL1NA.-The fol-
lowing article is copied from the Southern
Standard, a paper published in Trenton,
Tennessee:
''This fountair-head of tories, nullifers,
rebels, hotheads, fools and traitors, has be-
come the standard of Southern" states
men. 1t furnished the main body of tories
in the Revolution. They supported Aaron
Burr for the Presidency instead of Thomas
Jefferson, the author of the Declaration of
independence and founder of the Demo-
cratic party. The next characteristic step
was to nullify the laws of Congress and
draw the sword against Government pre-
and Webster. Ever since then the turbl-
lent and disunion elements of the Govern
ment have made their headquarters in
South Carolina.
They were maddened when Calhoun failed
to effect the fell scheme of secession, and
have ever since made their patriotism sub
servient to revenge. The State has no
cause for complaint, No slave can escape
from her far Southern borders. The tariff
pays the expenses of the Federal Govern
ment and there is nothing lacking but to
keep up State Government to her liking.
The Federal Government, then, does not
lay the weight of its little finger upon her,
but has to endure her Congressman, who
swim in whisky and bully all Washington
The truth is that South Carolina never
had scintilla of wisdom, moderation, or
conservatism, and has now become COM
pletely deranged.
We love Tennessee and Kentucky. Their
banners have aoated over every battlefield
in triumph and glory, and never did either
utter sentiment disloyal to the Union
Their citizens are noble and potriotic, and
have ever delighted to honor such men as
Clay and Jackson

A late pony brings .he intelligence that
the Marquis of Dalhousie, formerly Lord
Ramsay, is dead. His age at the time of his
decease must have been about 81.
Dalhousie or Dalwolsie as the name of
the family seat was formerly called, was
most remarkable man. His ancestors
fought under Wallace and Bruce, and he
could boast of being the heir of thirty-fye
generations. Well did he show himself
worthy of the name of his fathers. As a
ruler few have on any stage greater admin
istrative ability. The British government
is proud of so able Governor General as
he proved to be in India. Dalhousie closed
an administration of eight years in India
in 1856, which will occupy one of the most
important pages of the history of the Brit
ish empire in the East. During those eight
years territories of almost boundless extent
were added to the British possessions in
Southern Asia. The ancient kingdom of
Dude, the Punjaub, the Kingdom of Pegu,
Eagpore, Berar, Sattara and Jhansie were
annexed to the Indian Empire under the
eight years of Lord Dalhousie. They were
not simply annexed. They were improved.
Roads were constructed, canals excavated,
public edifces erected and groves planted.
More than sixteen thousand miles of roads
were projected, of which large share
were completed. A canal for irrigation
was dug in the Punjaub, the main line and
the branches of which extend 40 miles in
length, and is large enough for navigation.
At its mouth it is l20 feet broad by 81 in
depth, and is calculated to discharge 5000
gallons of water a second.
Such are some of the fruits Of Lord Dali
housie's labors in India, lators that destoy-
ed his constitution and brought him to q
too early grave.

WE WANT A SENAToR.-The Legislature
being now organized its first duty is to
canvass the merits of the prominent citi-
zens of the State and select the best man
Of all the number for Senator. 1t is i'm
peratively necessary that the right sort of
man should be chosen. The Marysville
Appeal gives us the right sort of talk on
this subject. We quote:
At this crisis in National affairs, when the in
tcgrity of the Cenfederacy is assailed. and the
very life of the Government attacked; aad when,
moreover, the sentiments and purposes of Cali
fOrnia are misrepresented by traitorous or in
competent men the State needs full delega-
ton at Washington. She needs especially a
Senator with brain to comprehend the wants
of his constituents and of the nation and heart
to do his duty in any emergency ono who will
be on the right side of great questions because it
is the right side and not because it is the strong
est. As primary qualification, he should be
thoroughly devoted to the interests of this coast
and radically opposed to the disintcgrating and
ruinous doctrine of secession. He should be
man who loves the whole country, without re-
gard to section who will be true to the spirit of
its institutions, and labor to preserve intact that
system of government which the courage Of our
fathers made possible and their best wisdom
successfully established. Ho must not be one
who will excuse the treason of State in arms,
by partisan misrepresentation of the acts and
motives of other States yet loyal to the Union
but an impartial patriot, of lofty and discrimi-
mating mind, who can discern and condemn
wrong wherever it is committed and make no
concessions of right principle to appease doers
of it.

Prof Ansted, the English geologist, says that
the reported number of earthquakes from the
earliest ages to 1850, is over 1000. From 1900
to 1900 there occurred 2,s0+ earthquakes, and
from 1900 to 1850, to 3,24O. The average for
the present century is about one week Of
the number annually occurring, only about one
in forty is ofsuch violence as to cause destruc-
ton of life or property. 1t is supposed that the
sun, moonlight, heat, the magnetic currents of
the earth, and The changes of the atmosphere all
exercise more or less influence in causing these
ao;tations of the earth's crust.

THE ADVANTAGE OF NEwsPAPERs.-A child
beginning to read becomes delighted with news
papers because he reads of names and things
which are very familiar, and viii make progress
accordingly. A newspaper in one year is worth
a quarters schooling to child, and every fa-
ther must consider that substantial information
is connected with his advancement, The mother
of family having more immediate charge of a
family, should herself be instructed. A mind
occupied becomes fortified against the ills of life
and is braced for the emergency Children anu
sed by reading or study, are of course consid-
crate and more easily governed. How many
thoughtless young men have spent their earn
ings iu grog shop who ought to have been
reading. How many parents who have never
spent $40 for books or papers for their families
would gladly have given thousands to reclaim
son or daughter who had ignorantly and thought
lessly fallen into temptation

IuyrxsE TRADE OF THE LAKEs.-The New

"The commerce of the lakes, of which Mich

traffic during the past year amounts to $780,,
600 600, being more than the exports and i'm
ports of the whole United States. The tonnage
of the lakes, steam and sail, is 100000 tons
The present crop will take this whole tonnage
from now to the Lext crop to transact it. Frei-
ghts have therefore gone up to unprecedented
prices. The old freight from Milwaukee
Chicago to Buffalo was low at five cents, high
at ten, but this year it began at ten and is now

THE LATEST WAR NEWS.

Our dispatches reveal what is pretty well
known to be the real object contemplated by the
next move of the rebels-tbe embargo Of the
Potomac. an invasion of Maryland, the rising OF
the Secessjonists of that State, with the sur
rounding and capture of Washington. 1t is
bold stroke, but Davis is doubtless desperate
enough to attempt it, if be sees chance OF
success.
We print tLis ninrsng from our own CORE
spUndent very full and interesting account of
tho desperate battle of Springfield. The more
we learn of that unequal contest, the more we
are called upon TO admire the bravery Of our
noble little army. With the immense odds
against them the wonder is that they escaped
complete defeat. AS it is the action cannot be
counted less than an absolute victory for our
troops
Maj.,Ger. Fremont yesterday seized $58, 900
il the Bank of st. Geneyieve Mo-, which was
intended for the use of the Rebels.
Three Of the Maryland brdge-buruers were ar.
rested the other day at Westernport. There is
said 10 be a force Of Secessionists at Romney,
and orr troops at New-Creck Bridge expect an
attack from them.
We have interesting but not important news
from Fortress Monroe. Stories Of an attack
from the COnfederates were again in circulation,
only 10 lie denied. Mr.. Wheeler, formerly Uoited
States Minister to Nicaragua, was there, and
had been passed within the Rebel lines.
The Government has appointed Henry w.
