Our Beverages.

Coffee was not known in Western Eu-
rope until the latter part of the seven
teenth century. Tea came with the open
ing of the China trade. In how brief a
time have they, like tobacco, spread over
the world. Their consumption, in all
civilized countries, is constantly increas-
ing. Psychologists and physicians differ.
as they do on almost all questions, as to
their beneficial or injurious effects on
health, but it is certain that an excessive
use of either deranges the nervous system
produces dyspepsia. and shortens the
term at human existence,
The importation of tea into the United
States alone, amounts to neary fifty mil
lions pounds per annum. That of coffee
is still greater. Our readers can estimate
the cost of these Injuries, which come to
us from the most distant regions; all our
tea being imported from China, and our
best coffee from Arabia and Java. 1--we
add to the cost Of tea and coffee, that Of
tho wine, spirits, and malt liquors we i'm
port, the aggregate would be enormous
the proportion of the necessaries OF life
to its luxuries is not more than one to
| ten.

The Question Stated.

About oRe-Mira of the voters of the
United States say that Congress has pow
er under the Constitution to exclude Sla.
very from all the Territories of the United
States.
About t,oo-thirds Of the voters of the
United States deny this power in toto.
About one.third Of the voters (speaking
in round numbcrs) say, that the national
government failing to protect their prop
erty they have the right under thei, State
sovereignty to secede from tho original
compact.
The first third having obtained power
Of the national government under the forms
of the Constitution, insist on their inter-
probation of that instrument and are pro.
ceeding to take possession Of the same.
The last third having control of the
State governments, are proceeding under
their Interpretation Of the national com
pact to withdraw from it.
The other third say and believe that
Congress has no power under the ConSti-
tuition to create or abolish Slavery in the
Territories, nor have the complaining
States the right conStitutionaly to secede,
but believe in the right of revolution for
redress of wrongs when all peaceable
measures fail.
Now this, Just as near as wo can state
it, is the present actual condition of opin-
ions in the United States.
In this fearful strife, have we discov
cred all at once that we have provided no
arbitrament in our government before
which these questions can be settled?-
If not it was an oversight in our fathers
for which we can hardly frame an ex,
cuSe.
But tvo.thirds of the above disputants
say they did, and that the Supreme Court
was established for that and other pur-
poses, and that it has made n decision
covering the first case, and by which they
were willing to abide.
But the first Hid denied this authority,
and appealed, as they tell us, to the pco-
pie and reversed that decision at the bal
lot box.
The other tVo-thrds deny that there is
any legal or constitutional remedy to
thus reverse n judicial decision.
la this conflict of opinion. we are likely
to be led into the arbitrament of blood.
Now, if there is an appeal to arms and
military coercion is to be the law, who are
to be coerced, the first third, or the l0SI
third? These two would, o. course decide
that it must be their opponents, and not
themselves. But the second third will
have voice in the matter, and being as
conscientious rs the others. can only arm
themselves to keep the peace. and seek a
settlement more in accordance with ON
republican system of government. and the
idea on which it is based, viz that man
is capable Of self government.
We have thus stated the case as fairly
and clearly as we are capable of, and
cleared it Of its dross and subterfuges, and
and it will not be amiss to study it well
and without prejudice or feeling,-Crisis.

lively quiet while the right of deposit CON
tinued, but at the expiration of the three
years it was not renewed, nor was an.
other place designated, and new excite.
ment was created, and expeditions pro.
jected in the Western States for the
seizure of New Orleans. The right was
restored by the Spanish government in
1893, restored again in 1901, suspended
again in 1902, aod restored in 1903, when
the subject was finally put at rest by the
conclusion of the treaty by which Louis
lana was purchased by the United States,
and the whole of the Mississippi river,
! from its source to its mouth, included
within the territorial limits of the United
| States.
The purchase of Louisiana was made
from France in 1903; but it had remained
in the possession of Spain mp to within
a few days of the transfer from France to
the United States. The treaty of transfer
from France to Spain was negotiated in
1900 BY the convention of that year.
between Napoleon, First Consul of the
French republic, and the King of Spain
France obtained a retrocession of the
province of Louisiana, to be delivered
six months after the execution of certain
conditions therein named, the principal
OF which was the transfer Of the kingdom
of Etruria the present Tuscany,) in
Italy, to the Duke of Parama, son-in law
OF the reigning King. The estimated
value of the Italian territories was 100,-
600, 900 E., which is the nominal value
then placed on the whole territory. But
the delivery was not actual Y made until
the 10Th of November, 1903, after the
signing Of the treaty Of transfer from
France to the United States. The French
flag continued to fly until the Goth of De-
cember, when the Territory was formally
surrendered to Messrs. Claiborne andWil-
kinson, Commissioners of the United
States.
One foreign privilege only existed on
the Mississippi after this date; which was
tn ri ght of the British to free navigation
under the treaty of 1863, to the obligation
of which the United States succeeded, as
successors of Spain and France, as well as
by the treaty of 1888 between the United
States and Great Britain. The same
privilege was especially confirmed and
enlarged by the treaty of 1904, between
Great Britain and the United States.
The war with Great Britain put an end
TO that, and renewal was refused by the
American Commissioners who negotiat
ed the peace of 1915
These are all the treaties which have
regulated tho Mississippi navigation for
hundred years. By all ofthem the nav
igation has been declared free to all in
habitants on its banks, and, moreover,
through all that time, the doctrine of the
Americans. as colonies and States, has
been thar the freedom of navigation is a
natural right, for which treaty stipuations
are only matters of convenient legislation.

When daughters haste, with eager feet,
A mothers daily toll to share;

And mend the stockings which they wear.

To find and wed the farmers girls
Who don't expect to be endowed
With rubies, diamonds and pearls.

Their hearts and hands to aid their spouses,
And live as they were wont to live

what is 10 COlunlbild!

Enquiries are made AZ to the nature o
the cannon called Columbiad. We FIND
the following description of these tor
midablc guns in an exchange:
The Columbiad is a heavy gun, capa
bic of projecting solid shot or shell Will
large charge of powder, at an angle o
projection from five degrees below to thr
ty degrees above the horizon; it may be
said therefore to combine the essential
qualities of tho gun, the howitzer, the
mortar; and may be used in place of either
ono or the other of these pieces in sea,
coast defense. Ii does not differ in lis
external shape from ordinary sca-coast
cannon.
At present thcrc arc two sizes of CO.
lumhiads in use in our service, viz; the
eight-inch and the tcn-inch. The former
weighs about 5000 lbs, tho charge OF
powder 10 lbs, tho solid shot Ga lbs. and
the she'll iSlbs. The latter weighs about
$4,000 lbs, the charge of powder l6 lbs.
the solid shot i2S lbs, and tho shell 100
lbs.
1t is understood that certain number
OF ton-inch Columbiads are mounted en-
barbefte, or upon the most elevated por-
tion of Fort Sumpter; as tho extra range
OF these is about three miles, an extent of
country about six miles in diameter will
be commanded by them, this, however,
does not embrace the city of Charleston,
for that is understood to be about 3 3-4
miles from the fort. Fort Moultrio be-
ing only about mile distant, and being
without easements to protect its garrison
or armament, is subject to the direct fire
of the Columbads of Fort Sumpter.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2l.-Postmaster Gen
eral Blair, in response to an enquiry on the
subject, says he has no power to interdict
nor suspend the intercourse between the
loyal and rebel States by private express or
otherwise. This power rests with the War
and Treasury departments alone, and so
long as these departments torbear to exer-
else it, correspondence between the insur-
gents and their friends and abettors in the
North may be lawfully continued. His
power in the matter extends only to the
protection of the revenues of the department
from fraud, and the conveyance of this cir
cuitous correspondence over the post routes
of the United States, partly in the mail and
partly by private expresses, is unlawful
He concludes by saying, you have doubtless
observed that the President, in pursuance
of an act of Congress, passed at its recent
session, has, by his proclamation of the 10th
inst, declared that all commercial inter
course between the insurgent States, or the
people thereof, and the loyal States is IN
lawful. 1t is presumed that instructions
will be issued by the Treasury Department.
