A sanguinary war followed, which crippled the
resources of Hungary, as well as Of her enemies,
for a long series of years, but the Russian inter-
veniion gave the final victory to the principles
of accession. Croatia, Slayonia, the VoyOdina,
and Pennsylvania, were detached from Hungary,
and for full twelve years enjoyed all the benefits
of o complete separation. But the Croatans,
Serbs. and Roumaus soon discovered that they
had exchanged King Log for King Stork, and as
soon as the battles of Magenta and Solierino
had broken the prestige Of the Austrians, as soon
ia Francis Joseph, by his rescript OF the 10Th OF
October last, had given them the opportunity OF
making their complaints heard, they began a
logged opposition against Austria. The Hunga-
rians, who during the twelve years of bondage
had not had any opportunity of coming into closer
contact with their seeding associates, expected
now new propositions for a union, and were
ready to grant any reasonable, and perhaps some
unreasonable, wishes Of Croatia, in order TO for
tiiy their position against Austria and to re-
establish the territorial integrity of the realm.
But, contrary to expectation, oil the three
counties Of Croatia, taught by twelve yeara' ex-
perience that the Union has advantages which
cannot be obtained by secession, have uaani-
mOusy declared for an unconditional reanne1a-
ticn to Hungary and profess themselves new
fully satisfied with the old laws BY which their
particular rights were guaranteed. Even the
County of Agraul, formerly the center of the
secession movement, has gracefully submitted to
the logic of cvcntg, and rendered the hand Of re-
concilistIon; while the SavOnan counties and
those Of the Yovodiua have celebrated their re-
annexation With bonfres and illuminsbons. Many
of the leaders Of secession are now The frst to
undo their own work.
The example is good ore.

Ga this subject the history Of Mississippi is
black with infamy. In 1880 the SOuth went crazy
on the subject of banking. Mississippi chartered
| the Planters Bank, and took S500,c00 Of the
stock, for which she paid in bonds The thing an
swered so good purpose that, three years later,
she took 81, 500, 600 more Of the same valuable
stock, which she paid for in the same valuable
description of bonds. Now, these bonds pro.
fessed to pay only six per cent, and were no
| drug in the market. 1t sounds odd at this day
! 10 be told that they could be iOd at par, but
they were disposed Of in EuroP at premium
of l3i per cent, aud are undoubtedly there yet.
The bank did large business, stimulated the
planting and cotton interests pr0disiOusly, paid
ten per cent dividends, and thus tempted North
ern buyers to invest in the stock, uIt as the ak
per cent made the bonds cell readily in Europe
But the bank could not do half the business
that was pressing on it; and in 1897, when the
! Union Bank was chartered the State subscribed
for $5,OOO,O00 Of the stock, issued bonds 10
that amount and Nicholas Biddle turned them
into money, and with this money tho b.nk began
operations.
The banking mania ragged so violently at that
time, that within two years after tie Union
Bank was chartered, Mississippi bad about forty
banks, with a paid up capital of $3oOOO,OO0,
discounts and circulation amounting to sos, 0O0,-
600, md precisely $3.50 in specie. The Sc.
curi.es were mostly cotton notes, mortgages on

A LESSON FROM HISTORY.

II the rebels Of the Cotton States are willing
to forpStall little experience by lesson in
history, they will find it in secession move
ment which took place in Hungary about twenty.
ivs years ago. At that period, the three
counties Of Croatia became weary Of their union
with Hungary, principally because they could
not reconcile themselves to the fact that the
Hungarian Diet had, against their protestatons
declared that the equality Of rights accorded 10
the Protestants was 10 be extended 10 Croatia,
where they formerly We're excluded, not only
from public Offices, but even from the right Of
acquiring landed property. They nourished,
besides, the hope Of anneIing, in the course Of
events, BOsnia, Seria, and Dalmatia, and of
thus forming Southern SlaVonic realm in the
lllyriau triangle. Their opposition against
the Hungarians was strongly supported by
tho Cabinet at Vienna, and they at length
succeeded in existing tho sympathies OF
the Serbian population in Hungary, aud even
in making an alliance with the Roumans Of
TranEylyans. The three Slayonic counties,
which stOOd in their way and prevented their
union with the Serbs, were at last bullied into
submission 10 the more advanced fire-eaters, and
in lS4s oil the population, which, as long as they
had enjoyed the protection Of the Government,
had denounced the idea Of secession Us treason
able, rose in arms against Hungary, and by o
rapid march upon Pesth tried TO overturn the
Hungarian Government anG to force the Hun
garians into new union on the terms Of the

that given in our paper Of yesterday morning.
Mr.. Cameron is reported as desirous OF the po-

presumed that he will take any poet assigned
him. Strong efforts are made to bring about
some changes but as yet they are unsuccessful
- Mr.. Wcles Of Connecticut arrived in this
city from Hartford last evening, on his way to
Washington, whittier he has been summoned by
telegraphic dispatch from BAR. Lincoln. The
reports that he has been in Washington for soIDe
days past are destitute of truth. We learn tina:
it is not yet settled whether Hr. Welles VIZ ss

Probably, however, he will be called to the for

A dispatch from Washington states that an
attempt is made to induce Mr. Lincoln to with
bold an invitation to Mr. Chase to take seat
in his Cabinet, because Of Mr.. Chase's alleged
frce-trade principles. The objection it seems to
us, is exceeding ill.chosen, as Mr.. Lincoln must
know, as everybody else does, that Mr.. Chase is
not only in favor of revenue tariff, but of pro-
lection to American industry. If no weightier
influence than this can be brought again him, we
presume Mr.. Chase will be q member of the
new Government, unless, indeed, he should prefer
not TO become such.

The intelligence from Richmond, published
yesterday, that Mr.. John Tyler is denouncing
the work of his Peace Congress is confirmed by
q dispatch from Washington that he is urging
the Convention in his own State to pass an act
of immediate Secession. The people of Virginia
will still have their decision to make upon the
action of the Convention, but if those who patched
up this Compromise are so little satisfied with
their own work, what can we expect from those
they represent II is supposed that North Caro-
lima will follow the example of Virginia, what
ever that may be, although she has just voted
against immediate Secession.
