Conn At HoME The Southern Confederacy-

rccre.ut felow-eitizen, the late Secretary Of the
Treasury:

President, :he country was happy and prosper
ou.-pcace and plenty reigned in this land "i

to1ough the judicous management OF secretary
Guthrie, and by the administrative ability eVin-
ced by President Pierce i'll the collection OF the
revenues, Mr.. Cobb was greeted by an over
flowing trea sury, the public debt reduced the
country auict, agriculture profitable, manuiac-
,nrcs and commerce never more prosperous, and
confidence mistaken. To-day we find Mr.. Cobb,
like the bardit, fleeing from justice and the
,trocitv of his own deeds, seeking refuge ana
safety under the cloak OF patriotic devotion 'o
Southern rights. To the hollows and caves ol
The Sixth district Of Georgia, he wcnds his way
in search of hiding place, and there to gather
around him clan, which, by ambuscade and
o.,,v. he expects to subdue brave and happy
people.
Contrast the 4th OF March, 1857, with the 4th
of March 1851! James Buchanan was inauSu-

pARsoN BRowNLow,s PRAYER.
PRAYER DURING THIS WINTER.

Seeing that the Episcopal Bishops of the
Carolinas have composed prayers to be used
by their clergy during the sessions of the
Legislature, we have deemed it proper, sus-
tanning the relation to the Methodist Church
we do in East Tennessee, TO compose the
following prayer, and order that it shall be
used by all local preachers, in all their pub
lie ministrations.
ALMIGHTY GoD, our Heavenly Father, in
whose hands are the hearts of men, and the
issues of events, not mixed up with Locofo-
coism, or rendered offensive in Thy sight
by being identified with men of corrupt
minds, evil designs, and damnable purpo
ses, such as seeking to upturn the best form
of government on earth. Thou hast gra-
ciously promised to hear the prayers OF
those who in an humble spirit, and with
true faith-such as no Secessionists can bring
into cxercise-call upon Thee, be pleased
We beseech Thee, tavorably to look upon and
bless the Union men of this Commonwealth,
anu sustain tHeIn IN thcii plaiS"WortHy ei-
forts to perpetuate this government, and
under it the institutions of our holy reli-
gion. Possess their minds with the spirit
of true patriotism, enlightened wisdom, and
of persevcring hostility towards those trait
ors, political gamblers and selfish dema-
gogues, who are seeking to build up mis-
erable Southern Confederacy, and under it
to inaugurate a new reading of the Ten
Commandments so as to teach that the
Chitf end Of Nan is .Nigger.' In these days
of trouble and perplexity, give the common
people grace to perceive the right path,
which Thou knowest, leads from the camps
of Southern mad caps and Northern fanat-
les, and enables them steadfastly to walk
therein
So strengthen the common masses, o!
Lord, and so direct them, that they, being
hindered neither by the fear of fre-caters,
nor by t1elove of the corrupt men in power,
nor by bribery, nor by an overcharge of
meau whisky, nor by any other Democratic
passion, but being mindful of Thy constant
supcrintendence, of the awful majesty of
Thy righteousness, of Thy hatred of cor
rupt Democracy, and its profligate leaders,
aud of the strict account they must here
after give to Thee, they may in counsel,
word and deed, aim supremely at the fulfil
ment of their duty, which is to talk, vote,
and pray against the wicked leaders of Alb
olitionsm, and the equally ungodly adyo-
Gates of Secessionism Grant that those
OF Thy professed Ministers who are mixed
up with modern Democracy and have be-
come so hardened in sin as openly to advo-
cate the vile delusion, may speedily aban-
don their unministerial habits, or go over
to the cause of the Devil, that their posi-
tions may at last be unequivocal, and that
thev may thereby advance the welfare of
the country And grant that these fire.
eaters may soon run their race, that the
course of this world may be 30 peaceably

4 UNIVERSAL LASGUAGE.-We find in the
October number of Presse Scientique des
Deux Mondcs the following extract from a
pamphlet by Mr.. Figuier:
They occupy themselves much in Spain
with a project of universal language a
project renewed of the celebrated Raymond
Lulle, and of some philosophers of the
eighteenth century The most important
men of Spain in letters, in science and in
politics have taken deep interest in this
humanity enterprise, the initiative of which
belongs to Mr.. Sotos 0chando. The Soci-
ETY. of the Universal Language is constituted
at Madrid, and has already held several ses-
sons. A commission has been established
to direct the labors. BY means of an as
sessment on all the members, national and
foreign. the grammar and dictionary of the
future universal language will be printed
and published. Many persons of distin-
guished ability have much faith in the sue
cess of the project. Do not discourage them.
The utopias of one century are often the
commonplace familiarities of the following

Pacific REPUBLrC.-The idea of Pacific
Republic is certainly exploded. The San
Francisco Herald, which has had the credit
of favoring it, claims to have demonstrated
that it is "an absurdity, even were the
Union to be honelessly sundered, and bro
ken into fragments, without the co-opera-
cf Oregon, Washington Territory, Arizona,
New Mexico, and Western Utah, or the Car
son Valley region" This is certainly a
clinchcr on the proposition. Some one,
calculate the chances of the Pacific Repub-
lie institution ever achieving more exalted
dignity than that of myth Sac. News.

Non-slayeholding. Slaveholdinc

calculation of the wheat crop in the non
slaveholdng and slaveholding States, gives to the
former, emitting fractions, about five and half
bushels to each person, and in the latter four and
a half to each white person, and about three
bushels to the entire population white and black.
The non-slaveholding States produced in 1850
70 574 ,94S bushels and the slaveholdng 81 $40
996 bushels of this staple. When we take into
account the fact that wheat enters much more
largely into the consumption of the North than
of the South, where ''corn dodgers" and other
preparations of that grain are in vogue on the
best supplied tables, and also that the slave pop
ulation is not generally fed on wheat bread, but
upon the various kinds of "Indan fxns" the
discrepancy in the proportion of ,oheat to each
person in the North and in the South, becomes
less important than it would be under other cir
cumstances.
We do not attach Importance to this compari-
son further than tpr0veS the fact, not appreciated
apparently, by a considerable portion of the popu-
lation OF the Northern States, that i'm neither sec
ton can anything short of a famine, lead to dan
ger of starvation. So far as inability TO carry on
a war is concerned, no indications of that char
acter appear in consequence of a lack of the
necessary supplies of food in average seasons.
The figures we have given, prove beyond ques-
ton, that in 1850, when the statistics were gath
ered abundant food was raised for the entire
population of both sections of the country, and
we are not aware of any change since that time
to alter the relative proportions OF course, the
aggregate both of population and of production,
is much larger now than in 1850.
1t is becoming more and more evident, now
that the facts begin to attract attention, and
son begins again to assume its sway, that other
means than war must be finally adopted to settle
this controversy, if we are ever again to be a
united people. Neither party can be starved into
submission, and taking into view the climate and
other circumstances, it is yet problem what will
be the result of war, a question of mere phys
zeal strength and endurance.-EI.

mr. RUSSELL visit. Gen. Beauregard.

Mr. Russell visits Gen. Beauregard.
Mr.. Russell, the London Times correspondent,
writes long letter from Charleston, under date
of April 2lst describing the condition of the city
and the effect of the bombardment of Fort Sum-
ter, and giving the following account of Gen.
Beauregard:
The head quarters are in large, airy public
buildings, once devoted to an insurance COM
pany's operations or to the accommodation of the
public fire companies. There was no guard at
the door; officers and prvates were passing to and
fro in the hall of which was cut off by canvass
screens, so as to form rooms for the departments
of the Horse Guards of South Carolina. Into
one of these we turned, and found the desks occu-
pied by officers in uniform, writing dispatches and
copying documents with all the abandon which
distinguishes the true soldier when he can get at
printed forms of government stationery.
!: In another moment we were ushered into a
smaller room, and were presented to the general,
who was seated at his desk. Any one accustomed
to soldiers can readily detect the real article
from the counterfeit, and when General Beaure-
gard stood up to welcome us it was patent he was
man capable of doing greater things than the
taking of Sumter. He is a squarely built, lean
man, about forty years of age, with broad
shoulders and legs made TO fit horse, of middle
hight, and his head is covered with thick hair,
cropped short, and showing the bumps, which are
reflective and combative, with true Gallo air at
the back of the skull; the forehead broad and
well developed, projects somewhat over the keen,
eager dark eyes; the face is very thin, with very
high cheek bones, a well shaped nose, slightly
aquiline, and large rigid, sharply-cut mouth,
set above full fighting chin. In the event of
any important operations taking place, the name
of this officer will, feel assured, be heard often
enough to be my excuse for this little sketch of
the outward man He was good enough to detail
his chief engineer officer to 20 with me over the
works, and found in Major Whiting most able
guide and agreeable companion.

Who Violates the Constitutions

At a Convention of the National Republican
party in 1892, held at Worcester, Massachusetts,
DANIEL WEBsrER, speaking of putting down South
Carolina by force, said
Sir, FOR one. protest in advance against such
remedies as | have heard limited The Admins
traton itself keeps a profound silence but its
friends have spoken for it, Wea told, sir. that
The President ioiA Immediately employ The military
force, and at once blockade Charleston mill
tary remedy remedy by direct military opera
ton, has been thus suggested. and nothing else
has been suggested, as the intended means of pre-
serving the Union. Sir there is no little reason
to think that this suggestion istrue. We can not
be altogether unmindful of the past, and there
fore we can not be altogether unapprehensive for
the future For one sir. raise my voice before
hand against the Unauthorized employment of
military power, and against superseding the au-
thority of the laws by an armed force, under pre-
tense of putting down notification. The President
has no authority to blockade Charleston; the
President has no authority to employ military
force till he shall be duly required so to do, by
law, and by the civil authorities His duty is
to cause the laws to be executed. His duty is TO
support the civil authority. His duty is, if the
laws be resisted, to employ the military force of
the country, if necessary, for their support and
executions; but to do this only in compliance with
law, and with decisions of the tribunals. If, by
any ingenious device those who resist the laws
escape from the reach of judicial authority, as it
is now provided to be exercised, il is entirely
competent for Congress to make such new provis-
ions as the exigencies of the case may demand.
These provisions would undoubtedly be made.
With IA constitutional and efficient head to the
Government, with an Administration really and
truly in favor of the Constitution, the country
can grapple with notification. BY the force of
reason, by the progress of enlightened opinion, by
the natural, genuine patriotism of the country
and by the steady and well sustained operations
of the law, the progress of disorganization may
be successfully checked, and the Union maintain
ed. Let il be remembered that, where nullifca-
ton is most powerful it is unopposed. Ii we can
relieve the country from an Administration which
denies to the Constitution those powers which are
the breath of its lfe if we can place the Govern
ment in the hands of its friends, If zoe can secure
Il against the dangers Of unla,cfui and irregular
military force, las he charged General Jackson
designed to use,l if it can be placed under the
lead of an Administration whose moderation,
frmness and wisdom shall inspire confidence and
command respect, We may yet surmount the dan
gers, numerous and formidable as they are, which
surround US.

Important Measures to be Brought
Before Congress.

The New York Herald gives the following as
among the most indispensable measures to be
brought before Congress at the extra session:
IA National Bank, with 500, 600 600 of
capital, so as to give the country currency at
once uniform and secure.
"A general bankrupt law, to control the
State banks and to relieve business men from the
difficulties brought upon them by causes other
than their own ndscretiOn.
3-An equalization of the tariff, which will
reduce the duties that now prohibitory, and
raise those which are unfairly low to an equitable
standard
The first of these measures will at once re-
store confidence in the currency, and will enable
the government to raise whatever further loans il
requires, by its taking half, say $50 900 600, of
the stock of the new bank. The want of a gen
eral bankrupt law has been so long and so seri-
ousy felt that it does not require the pressure of
the difficulties by which the commercial classes
are now overwhelmed, to render it acceptable to
the country. An equalization of the tariff will
relieve us from the hostility aroused against us
abroad by the impolitic bill of last session, and
will, at the same time, afford all the protection
that our manufacturing interests alone can Justly
claim. Congress, it will be seen, has plenty of
work cut out for it in the maturing of these meas
ure5 but with disposition to avoid all useless
discussion, to address itself at once to business,
it can be got through in three or four weeks.
Our financial and commercial systems thus re
constructed, we can look forward to the termina-
ton of the war without anxiety for our future.
No country will have passed through crisis 50
great with consequences SO little disastrous.

Hints to Volunteers--Kcep Your

A soldier needs besides his soldierly drill,

III. A good stomach.

But good feet are distinctly the first thing
Without them you can not get to your duty. If
comrade, horse, or locomotive takes you
on its back to the field, you are useless there
And when the field is lost you can not retire, run
away and save your bacon.
Good shoes and plenty of walking make good
feet. A man who pretends to belong to an in

A captain of a company who will let his men
