The Art of Laughing.

a merry hoart--a cheerful spirit, from
which the laughter bubbesup as naturally as
gold.bright beads from glass of champagne
are they not worth all tie monoy.bags,
stocks, and mortgages that wall Street
hold? The man that laughs is u doctor
without diploma; his face docs more good
in sick room than bushel Of powders or
gallon OF bitter draughts. If things go
right lie laughs, because lie is pleased; il
they 60 wrong he laughs, because it is
cheaper than crying People arc always glad
to sec him-their hands nsiinctively 90 half
way out to meet his grasp, while they turn
inyoluntarily from the dJspcpiio who speaks

offended with him il seems as il sunshine
came into the room with him, and you never
know what pleasant world you are living
in, until he points out the sunny streaks on
its pathway. a good-humored laugh is The
key to all hearts. Satire, says keen OBJ.
server, is the most useful Of al forms /
writing; sentiment is literally wasted on
nineteen readers out Of twenty The truth
is that people like to be laughed at in gen.

And it is astonishing how frankly the laugh
in population can talk, without trcadiug on
the sensitive toes Of their noighbors! Why
will people put on long faces when i; is 50
much easier and more comfortable to laugh
Tears are too plentiful in this world by far

PANIC IN WALL STREET THROUGH FoRErc,
LNFLUENoE.-We understand that an attemp
was made in Wall street yesterday by tn.
foreign bankers-chieHy the French an,
English--to get up money panic, founded
upon the report Of Mr. Chase estimatin,
the war debt, with the interest, as likel,
to amount to about thousand million
of dollars, if the struggle should be pro
tracted till July, lS63-an amount which thl
country is able and willing to pay for the restc
ration OF the Union. In connection with til
report of the Secretary of the Treasury,
rumor was industriously circulated by forcigi
emissaries that General Mcclellan had tendere1
his resignation, on the ground that the admins
tration were about to make the conflict 70
the Union war Of emancipation, an
to put arms into the hands Of til
slaves. The frat effect of the PAM
thus created was to raise foreign exchang
to 1897. The design is to force the gold 0,
of the country, and thereby to embarrass I'll
government, and paralyze the operations of tt
war. The consequence will be to give aid an
hands Of the French and English government
who SO devoutly wish for the final dismembe
ment of their great commercial and martin
rival.
Now, SO far from the report about McClella
being true, the fact is that he is in full accol
with the President and the Cabinet, as, indee
are all the officers of the array. They Ia,
drawn their swords for the restoration of Il
Union on the bases Of the constitution as it is, al
they will not sheath them till they have accoD
plished the work. They are ready to put dow
English and French sympathizers with the reb.
lion, as we'll as the rebels themselves. T.
time is at hand when it will become the imp
rative duty of the government and Gener
Mcclellan to extend the same favors to the al
lition revolutionists and to their organs as we
bestowed upon the Northern secessionists u
fall. Such firebrands as the Tribune, the In
pendent and GarrisOn's Liberator, spreading I
flames of disafection everywhere, mi
DO excluded from the mails, and th,
managers must be sent to Fort
fayette or Fort Warren. Then the polite
affairs Of the country will go right, and I
war for the Union will have a speedy and
prosperous issue. Till abolitionism is uttel
crushed no. hing effectual can be done for I
salvation Of the republic. 1t is the grand Q.
dition precedent, and till it is achieved all /
efforts of the government will be in va
Meantime let the English and French sym \
thizers with the Southern rebellion beware
what they say and do. If they leave themsel,
open to charges of aiding and abetting the
surrection by impairing the credit OF our
vernment, or spiriting the sinews of war out
the country, let them rest assured that IL
foreign birth will not protect them from
consequences of their acts.

Our COMMERCIAL. TREATY WITH CANADA-The
tone which the journals and authorities Of Cana
da have adopted towards this country, and the
menacing warlike preparations in progress
there and tauntingly reieived to upon every
possible occasion, demand Soho decisive notice
from our government. There is no greater Sc
cession sympnthizer then Canada, ana no other
neutral province harbors SO many rebc. refi,-
gees and treats them to SO assduous welcome.
Congress ought, in view Of these facts, to i'm
medmtely repeal our reciprocity treaty With
Canada. The loyal timber merchants and lun
bermen of Maine, New York and Pennsylvania
hardly deserve to be mulcted of immense sums
of money for tho benefit of Canadians, who
pocket our money, under this treaty, and give
us in return little lumber and great deal o
threats, abuse and Yillifca ton.

LIBEIs AND LAwYERs.-The libeis that
brought against the HERALD and other paper
this city generally originate in the cutters,
arc the work of some young country law.
hungry for job and aching for notice, but b
ing no knowledge Of the law Of libel. A sigl
cant case against the HERALD has just been
cided in the Marine Court, the suit BE-
brought for report, alleged to have appeal
in our columns, Of q trial on promiss
note affair in the Marine Court, headed "Lo
Way Of Managing Mercantile Business"
statement alleged to have been made was, (
] .the principal evidence disclosed that John
Thomas Watrin formerly carried son busi
I'm Maiden lspe; that their clerks, statesmen
porter were in tie habit OF. signing notes to
amount OF fifteen thousand dollars On IL
suit was brought for libel but Judge Meta,
decided that there were no words in the publ
ton libellous, and dismissed the case, WIN c
to the plaintiff. Thus, instead of coming to
Office and asking for a correction, which il
ways done in all cases whenever any misst
ment of facts has been made, the person
grieyed has resoried to libel suit. and {
with a handsome bill of costs.
This only shows the folly of taking the ad
Of ignorant country lawyers, who know notl
about the law Of libel, but who come to
city and watch the police and other reports
appear in the papers, and whenever they
anything rejecting upon individuals go
hunt him or them up and inform them that
have been lDelled, and if they will only b
. suit they can obtain several hundred
thousand dollars damages. Flattered by
discovery, the advice is taken and followed
suiting in an adverse decision from the ju
and nice bill OF costs to pay, when, if the
son had been left alone, he would never
thought of bringing suit, or even had th'
hottest idea that he had been libelled by
article in question. If these persons who
thus aggrieved, instead Of taking the adyio
those ignorant lawyers, would only apply to
office, they would always obtain correctio
any erroneous statement. Our reporters
ways intend to state the truth; but whenev
misstatement appears it will be corrected
following day, if the facts are oaly laid be
US. 1t is, however, piece of folly for any
son to follow the advice of these PSEUDO
yers; for we always employ the very best OF
profession to defend us against all such
regardless Of the cost, and are always su,
engage those who are well posted on e
point of law with regard to the question at is
and against whom these apologies for law
cannot stand the remotest chance. This RI
should be warning to others who are besis
to commence suit Of libel against the n,
papers.

Ignorant, may not influence the Gsneral-in-
Chief. Some excellent reasons might he as
signed for the delay, but that this would be
giving important information to the enemy.
The World need not be alarmed about the abo-
ltion faction, nor yet about what foreign nations
may think, or even do. If tho factious abolition
leaders do not speedily draw in their horns
they may find in General Mcclellan such q
Tartar as the Long Parliament found
in Cromwell, and the Council of Five Hundred
found in Napoleon Bonaparte. Nor will
the fear Of foreign interference have much
weigh. with brave and prudent general at the
head of an army Of $4,000 men, whose num-
bers oan rapidly be swelled to million As
for such journals as the World, the sooner
check is put to their folly or their treachery
the better for the country and the government.
Let them receive ga caution" from the proper
quarter Immediately, and if after that they are
found to be refractory, let them be dealt with
as the safety Of the republic demands.

abolition Of our constitution, and at negro
equality and amalgamaton.
The issue is In the hands Of the President.
We warn him that this revolutionary abolition
faction is aiming not to save, but forever to
destroy, the Union and the government, and
that the first necessity to his administration and
our army is the exemplary punishment Of q
score or two of our abolition incendiaries, and
the exclusion Of their seditious journals from
the public mails. Let this be done, and this
rebellion will soon be at On end. Otherwise
we may have war Of anarchy as our legacy
for the next generation.

ENGLAND AND Her NEUTRALITY PRocIAMA-
TIoN.-The proclamation of neutrality issued by
Queen Victoria promises to be source of con-
siderable embarrassment TO the English go
vernment. In the case Of the Nashville, for in
stance. there has been a clear breach of the
terms of the proclamation. both at Bermuda
and at Southampton At the former place the
privatecr was allowed to coal provision and
,enlain longer than forty-eght hours and her
officers were received with '!extreme courtesy
by the Governor OF the island; and at South
amrton, our Last adviees informed us that
she was locked, and thers-Mas every prospect
Of her making protracted stay. Moreover,
she came into port with her prisoners, the
crew of the Harvey Birch, in irons, and landed
them there. There is no doubt that the Nash
vile would remain in port AZ long as possible,
while the James Adger was waiting for her
outsde but how can the British government
defend the act Of allowing her to remain there
so long, and giving aid and comfort to her Of
fcers and crew.
Unless we are greatly mistaken England will
find herself embroiled in 80 many difficulties,
arising from the position Of neutrality she has
assumed, that she will repent the issue Of her
obnoxious proclamation. Indeed, we look for
ward to her own discontinue as an inevitable
result Of her course towards this country since
the outbreak Of the war. 1t would have been
far better for her to have done as we did during
the Canadian insurrecton the rebellion in Ire
land and the mutiny in India, and avoided all
interference. But as ye sow so shall ye reap
and if Great Britain reaps crop of troubles
from the practice of her neutrality doctrine
she will have herself alone to blame. Certain
ly all the harm that is done has been, as it will
continue to be- against herself.

IHE IAPAL QUESTION-ENGIIGH JEALOUSY OF
TTALY.-The Turin Cabinet has made final
effort for the settlement Of the Roman ques ton
which, If not acoedcd to, will preclude all fur
Their attempts at negotiation The terms pro-
posed for the acceptance of the Pope may be
thus briefly stated:-The Pontif to preserve the
dignity, inviolability and other prerogatives of
sovereignty, and the cardinals to retain the title
of prince and the honors attached to it, The
acts performed by the Pope, as Patriarch Of the
West and Primate Of Italy, not to be opposed
or disturbed by the Kings government His
Holiness to have the right to send nuncios
abroad, with full liberty to communicate with
oil the bishops and faithful, and to convoke
councils and synods in the places and forms he
shall Judge expedient. The clergy not to be
amenabe to the civil power, except in regard to
offences punishable by the laws Of the king
dom. All ecclesiastical patronage to be vested
in his Holiness. The Kings government to
furnish TO the Holy See fixed and irrevocabie
dotation to which all the Catholic Powers are
to be invited to contribute.
It is not probable that the Pontff will assent
to these terms, although all sincere and liberal
minded Catholics believe them to be the best
that he will ever succeed in obtaining. They
comprise all the guarantees which DR.. Dollin-
ger in his recent admirable work on the Papacy,
desires to see secured to him. The evil influ-
cnces that surround the PontiT will, it is feared,
induce him to reject the advice Of his well
wishers and the true friends Of the church
Should this anticipation prove correct, it is but
too probable that his obstinacy will cost him
the liberal provision and independence that he
might thus easily have secured.
1t is curious that in commenting upon the
present position of this question, the tory press
Of England should adopt the same tone and
line of argument which they use in favor Of
the dissolution Of the American Union. Protest
ants as they are, and hating the Papal system
cordially, they are opposed to its being strip
ped of its temporal attributes, because they do
not desire to see the unity of Italy realized.
1t is better, they contend, that it should be
split up into number of States, inasmuch as
there are sectional hostilitie5 between the
northern and southern portions of its popula-
ton that can never be reconcled This is
merely repetition Of the absurd arguments
which they use in our own case. 1t means in
regard to Italy what il means in regard to US
that they dread to see her united, lest she should
became in Europe what we are here-her great
pON .Aal and commercial rival France ex-
hibiiAd the same jealousy OF Italy when she
broke of from Victor Emanuel ON the question
of the Duchies. We speak, Of course, Of the
governments Of the two countries; for the SYM
pathies of the great body Of their people are
with her, as they are with us. Despite Of both,
Italy is successfully working out her destiny
as we are working out ours, and by-and-by she
will hold like us, the balance Of power on her
continent.
