One OF Two Things.

We last week refereed to the subject of dis
union in the light which we shall have to look
upon it when Mr.. Lincoln shall have been in
augurated President. We may say what we
would like to see at this tine, and deplore the
imbecIlity and treachery of President who
can, in his old age, look on calmly and see the
iairest Nation under the sun drift on to the
breakers, and never lift n finger or his voice to
avert the destruction +; but while he will not
heed our bcscechings, and we know that all ei-
fort must be unayailng until the fourth OF
pare for what shall then be done. We can
measure with certainty the progress which
disunon shall have made in four weeks we
know where the Ship of State will than be-
she is even now humping on the ragged head

angry sea with her wreck This is the inevitable
fate before us.
Then will there be one OF two things to do,
and We may rs well spend the time in deciding
upon the practicablity OF these, and probable
effect, as to wait till the fourth Of March
The South has, to all intents and purposes
gone out of the Unien, and viii have to be
treated as out. Then shall we bring her back
or let her 60? To bring her back, we have
got to get down on our bellies, and renounce
every sacred principle OF our political faith

appropriate our powers and means to its up

I" Nobody is Hurt"

Mr.. L'NcoLN's Columbus speech is thus
practically answered in the Philadelphia In
qui,er, Republican paper:
In this city full thirty per cent. of the
working population are idle. To realize
the truth Of this, let every man note the
dullness of his own peculiar trade or bust.
ness let him call to mind the large num-
Der of bis friends, neighbors and fellow
tradesmen who walk the streets day after
day with nothing to 10. His experience
in this respect will be the type of all. Let
bin go into the large manufacturing es-
Establishments, which at this time should be
filled with busy hands, and observe the
thinned ranks of workmen and workwomen.
From this cause Chestnut street wears every
day the appearance of holiday, so many
idle people are on that thoroughfare. Our
hotels and mercantile houses, which by this
time should be vocal with the hum of &C..
tivity Of spring trade are dull and almost
lifeless. The building permits, which in
February year ago numbered hundreds,
now scarcely reach a dozen. 1t is stagna-
ton every where. The man who does not
see it is blind, and the man who ignores it
in the Legislature or in Congress commits
a crime"

How Napoleon's Speech is Interpreted
England.
LONDON. Febru,

LONDON, February5.
This week has opened briskly for politi-
clans. The Emperor delivered yesterday
his annual address to the French chamber
of Deputies, and within the last two hours
her Majesty has read her speech on the re-
assembling of both houses of Parliament.
The effect of the former has been far from
satisfactory, since it merely announced,
among flood of fine sentiments, that it is
the determination of the Emperor mot to
enter upon any conflict where the cause of
France is not based upon right and justice"
the Emperor himself being of course the
judge, in all cases, of what is right and
just. His Majesty praises the principle of
non-intervention, but continues to intervene
at Rome for " the security of the Holy
Father, which appeared to be menaced,"
and has only just quilted Gaeta, where his
Intervention for four months, which kept
Italy in embarrassment, was to show SYM
patty to a "royal misfortune" He adds,
moreover, that although he has proclaimed
the principle of neutrality, France will
"lend her assistance where it may be in
voked in favor of just cause"
Thus we see that there is to be no war
and no breaches of neutrality, except when
his Majesty may happen to fancy that the
security Of some one whom he chooses to
support, is "menaced," or when some royal
object of the worlds execution is to be COM
forted with ''sympathy," or when France
may feel inclined to take up arms for those
who invoke her assistance in "just" cause.
Under these circumstances it is not surpris-
IL, <Lo ,cL4 E.
with a buoyant movement, and although his
Majesty utters his old protest against i'm
aDginary alarms, and insists that the COM
mercial classes should in fall confidence en-.
ter upon their industrial pursuits with re-
newed activity. 1t is to be added, too, that
the Emperor reserves the right of departing
from his pacific progr mme whenever those
elastic aims, the Interests" and "honor" of
France, may seem to require it.-Cor,es-
pondence Of the Commercial advertiser.

Three Distinguished Ladies.

The N. Y. Herald thus describes Mrs.
Lincoln, Mrs. Hamlin, and Mrs. Edwards,
as they appeared at the reception at the As
tor House.
The ladies' parlor at the Astor House
was appropriated for the purpose, and at
eight o'clock Mrs. Lincoln, accompanied by
Mrs. james Watson Webb and Mrs. Ed
wards, sister of the President elect, en-.
tered the room and stood at the southeast
end, facing the doors. The dress worn by
Mrs. Lincoln on this occasion was of steel
colored silk; made high in the neck, with q
trimming of box plated satin ribbon, q
small lace collar, fastened with small
diamond brooch, diamond ear drops to
match, and black chenille and gold head
dress. Mrs. James Watson Webb, who
had arrived in town but short time before
the reception took place, wore a dark col
Ored French merino dress, cashmere shawl,
and black velvet bonnet. Mrs. Edwards
bed on a dark colored silk dress, sprigged
with small bright colored flowers. All the
ladies carried boquets of choice flowers, and
Mrs. Lincoln had also small ivory fan,
with which she occasionally famed some of
the gentlemen who paid their respects to
her, playfully telling them not to get "too
warm in the cause" As the ladies came
up their names were whispered to Mrs.
Webb, who introduced to Mrs. Lincoln !;
both bowed and smiled, and occasionally
shook hands. Mrs. Lincoln's smile is a
very pleasant and amiable one, and all
who had the pleasure of seeing her last
evening, and witnessing her frank, easy,
and lady-like manner, agree that she
would fill with ease and dignity the high
position to which she will shortly be called
Mrs. Hamlin is a smiling little woman
with pleasant eyes and auburn hair, at least
twenty years her husbands junior, and his
second wife. She is neat and active, and
will be likely to prove an amiable and
popular mistress of the Vice Presidential
mansion.
Mrs. Edwards and daughter, the sister
and niece of Mrs. Lincoln, arrived from
Boston last evening, and will accompany
her to Washington in the special train
this morning, and remain with her until
after the 4th of March, and assist in
inaugurating the hospitalities of the White
House.

Appearance OF a Saint i'm Mexico.

The Corpus Christi (Texas) Ranchero
of January II, has the following singular
statement:
Great excitement exists at the present
time among the Mexicans in Western Texas,
and, indeed, among many Americans, occa-
stoned by report that Saint has mystic
riousIy appeared in Mexico, at some point
near Camargo, who possessts the power to
iced thousands of people with two or tht ee
tort,llas, little cakes,) each getting all he
can eat; cures all diseases flesh is heir to;
restores sight to the blind; in fact, performs
all kinds of miracles. No one can tell his
name or where he came from. He says he
will be killed in Mexico, and requests that
his murderer may not be punished. He
claims he is sent on an especial mission to
the Mexican people, and that he shall per-
form many wonderful things and make
many disclosures before be closes his career
He is apparently but sixteen or seven
teen years of age, and has q great beard of
patriarchial length; and as an evidence that
he is no imposter, it is reported that Gen.
Vidaurri had him clearly shaver, and then
told him if be was really man of God, as
he protested, to cause his beard to reappear
upon his face. The saint requested his in
terrogator to turn bis back tor few mo-
ments, which he did, and after making
prayer and going through some mysterious
ceremony, presto! bis face was covered with
beard the same as before. w sl ai 4sl.5
Thus the story goes, and if not true, GER
tain it is that the Mexicans of this and
adjoining counties are swarming thither in
large numbers, and some Americans are
preparing to 60. ia93 i afa a.4r4mi

SCHOOL LANDS.
The bill for the leasing and sale of School
lands was reported back by the select commit
tee with amendments added thereto, as in
structed.
Mr.. GALBRAITH objected to the passage Of
the bill. He said it was drawn up in a very
loose way, and thought the bill should be en-
titled IAN act to protect trespassers on the
school lands" He said an attempt was being
made to rob the State of her School lands
that men were in this city to-day bargaining
and bidding for the School lands.
Mr.. JONES said the bill probably had de-
fects. which could be remedied by a SUISSE
quent Legislature. There was really nothing
in the objections of the Senator from Scott,
(Mr. Galbraith.)
MIR. CLEVELAND moved to amend the bill
by excluding all persons from its provisions
who have settled upon the School lands since
the lst of January, 1861, which was adopted.
The bill was then ordered engrossed for a
third reading and passage.
