Duke of Newcastle.

The distinction of the Order of the Garter
was conferred on the Duke Of Newcastle in
this wise: The Most Noble Henry Duke of
Newcastle was introduced between Garter
and Black Rod. His Grace was conducted

DenuncIatIOn Of the UniOn-and GIorit'cS-

DenuRcIatTOn Of the Union-Rnd GIoritlca-
tiOn of the Southern COnfederacT.
The Charleston IS. o. Mercury, Of late
date, says;
Every effort of the General Government
to avert its dissolution, only hastens on its
fate. Major Anderson abandOns Fort Moul-
trie and garrisons Fort Sumpter. The Presi-
dent approves and the Northern press praise
the achievement The New York EUeni1g
Pest even declares that this step to coercion
raises the price of stocks in New York. But
what follows in the South where the great
game Of disunion is going on? The people
of South Carolina are made more resOlute
in their determination TO throw off the Gov
eminent. Our city is like an armed camp.
Martial music fills the air. Offers of assist
ancecome by thousands from the neighbor-
Fort Moultrie, Castle Pfnckney, Fort John
son and the United States Arsenal are occu-
pied with our troops Disciplined companies
are arriving by the railroads from the inter-
ior Of the State The Governor of Georgia
seizes the United States forts commanding
the harbor of Savannah. The Georgia elec-
ton, with the voice of tempest sweeps
before it the flying chaff Of Unionism and
fear, and proclaims that the Union must be
dissolved. In a few more days Florida,
Alabama and Mississippi will have cast off
all political connection with the North, and
all the fortresses on the Atlantic and the
Gulf, from Cape Fear to the Mississippi, will
have the stars and stripes forever taken down
from their flag. staffs. -
So work the threats of coercion of the
South. And how is it at the North2 Con-
gress has been in session month, and not a
single measure ofcoercion has been proposed,
much less passed, in Congress. The Black
Republicans seem to be content to abuse the
President as traitor, because he does not
enter into the enterprise of conquering the
South with 1000 men, being the whole force
at his command from Boston to New Orleans.
They know that the President is just as help
less as they are, to coerce the Southern States
into the Union !; and yet, they bray out their
asinine abuse with all the force of baffled
hate and raging imbecility. Scheme after
scheme to keep the Union together, is formed,
and bursts like bubbles on frettul tide.
Every day brings its proof Of the steady
progress of the Government of the United
States to dissolution, and of the South to
Union, while every effort made to avert this
inevitable drift of things, only accelerates
them to their final consummation. Not to

account-bo of the Southern Confederacy

history of independence, prosperity and

A New AND VALUABLE INVENTION IN
ENGLASD.-An invention has been patented
in England. for producing, by means of an
electric current and an anode or plate OF
silver, alloyed with Nickel a deposit of al
10y Of silver and nickel. After having dis
solved the silver in nitric acid, and evap-
GRATED it to dryness, the invertor dissolves
it in pure water, and puts it into vessel by
itself and he then puts into the silver solu-
tion solution Of carbonate of ammonia
until it is clear. He then dissolves the
nickel in nitric acid, in another nickel solu-
tion asolution ofcommon potash or carbonate
of potash, then takes the precipitate which
falls in powder, and washes it three or four
times in pure water, until it is sweet OF clean;
this precipitate or powder is then put into a
solution of carbonate of ammonia, and dis
solved until il becomes a clear solution.
All the solutions of the nickel and silver
are then put together in one vessel. For
plating, an anode or plate is used, made of
one part of silver to two parts nickel, To
make these anodes, or plates, he melts the
silver and nickel together in one vessel, and
mixes them well by stirring them, and after
ward runs them into forms. When working
the solution constantly, if it does not work
rapidly, some cyanide Of potassium is added.

The MERoUmAL TEMPERAMENT OF oLrAIRl

The MERoURIAL TEMPERAMENFo OF V VoLFAIRE.
The letters of Voltaire bring out into vivid
relief the unquiet, excitable, neryously-act-
i've temperament and habits Of the philo-
sophie novelist, who was never at home,
never TO be found when looked for, but who
was always coming upon his friends when
they least expected him. He was perpetually
in motion, lived in perpetual hurry, and
was perpetually in "hot water" With one
foot In Paris and one in the country, he was
never able to 6. .tablish himself thoroughly in
any abode Of his own; but lived in lodgings,
OF quartered upon his friends. n.
Consuming his existence in a ceaseless
whirl of work, fdgeting and dissipation,
necessarily writing, talking, disputing, go.
ing to court, running after every body, scat
tering his witty sayings on every hand, fat
tered, caressed and sought after, Voltaire
would every now and then become suddenly
weary of the perpetual publicity and racket
of his existence, would take the noise and
whirl of Paris in disgust, and fly off 70 the
silence and repose of the country, where he
would shut himself up in total solitude.

Execution Of Two wife -nIurderOrs In New
Orleans Impressive and Painful scsne
at the GnIlows, e..
George Osborne, an Englishman, and Pat
rick Eagan, an Irishman, were hanged in.
New Orleans on Friday, the 9th instant, for
the murder of their wives, and the Delta
gives these particulars of the closing scene;
At eleven o'clock Fathers Dufau and Mur-
ply led the way along the gallery from the
condemned cell, bearing crucifixes and read
ing prayers, preceded by the officers of the
prison. Osborne and Eagan Immediately
followed the priests, and both seemed full Of
nerve and ready for their fatal moment
Osborne walked boldly on the drop, and
bowed to the people, and then sat down on
the chair placed there. Eagan was more
mild in his department. He sat down, too,
and both kept tapping their feet, in their
black velvet slippers, against the platform,
or drop. The hangman, in his black cloak,
cowl and mask, perfectly unacceptable to
any one of the multitude, gave an awful con-
trast to the condemned men, dressed all in
white, He arranged the moose around Os-
borne's neck, but did it bunglingly, and 0s-
borne complained, and called upon an officer
of the Jail to do it properly, and kept up his
air of indifference the while, which caused
Eagan to say "Stop your blowing

his neck and he addressed the crowd, saying
he was innocent of any murder OF even rob-
berry; that he was poor man, from coun-
try-place where vice was unknown, end that
for fourteen years he had honestly worked iU
this city. He said God would receive his
soul, and that he was ready to die He
hoped his children would be protected. In
the course of his remarks he grew little
agitated.
Osborne made an address, too. He said his
trial was not a good one according to the
laws and Constitution, and that he had been
the victim of an accident. His friends had
deserted him in his hour of trouble, and he
cautioned all persons to beware OF liquor, the
cause of his being then present on the scaf-
fold.
Eagan, during 0sbornes remarks, was
talkative, addressing the people about his
children. Osborne returned thanks to the
officers of the prison, and then said he was
ready. The Deputy-Sheriff read the DEATH
warrant, both the condemned men standing
the while. The priests prayed, and Father
Dufau spoke words of consolation, the crowd
was breathless, and, altogether it was one OF
the most unpleasant sights we ever wit
| messed .r
! Osborne repeated the Lords prayer aloud
but evidently in an awkward manner, show,
ing how seldom he had repeated it in life
! When Osborne had the cap pulled over his
eyes, Eagan remarked, You look as bad as
| q MRrdi-gras.n Both had their faces covered
with the caps, and at precisely eleven O'Clock
and ten minutes they were launched into
eternity. They died without a struggle
Eagan alone showing slight convulsions
Their necks were broken by the fall, and they
remained hanging the time prescribed bJ

Gospel of the Son of God, which alone can
bring life and immortality to light. Oh
God, stay us in our madness and our folly,
and do Thou turn the current of our folly,
toward Thee. Do Thou direct the aspirations
of our souls to Heaven. Father, have mercy
upon us; and wilt Thou now look down upon
the President and members of this Conven-
tion in mercy, and wilt Thou make us tenn
Iperate, moderate, firm and resolute in all our
delibefatioBsy y-and while we bog for the Hight
of reason, for clear understanding and
sound judgment, we would, above all, beg
for the strength of Thy grace and the guild
ance Of Thy spirit. OIL do Thou make US
all sensible that the highest wisdom of man
of itself is foolishness with God; and OH God,
| while dangers and difficulties cluster thick
around MS, wilt Thou remove them far from
us, and arm as for the conflict. Wilt Thou
| bring confusion and discontinue upon our
enemies, and wilt Thou strengthen the hearts
and nerve the arms of our sons to meet this
great trial in the name of the God of Israel
! Oh God, save the State, and do Thou raise
us up great, good and happy people, bea-

is too great for Thee. Thou eanst do all
things. We commit our keeping altogether
into Thy hands. Oh save US in time, crown
US in Heaven, we beg for Christ's sake.

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT THE POPULATION
OF FRANCE.-In the French Empire, the an
nual number of male births is a sixth greater
than the births of females; but the annual
deaths of males surpass slightly the deaths of
the opposite sex, there being sixty-five
deaths of females to sixty-six males. From
1917 to 1853, the population increased stead
lily every year; but in 1854 and 1856 it di-
minished considerably. The average annual
increase from 1917 to 1857 was l59,Ol8 in
habitants or the 2l0th part of the average
population, calculated at 334lQOO0, up to
1857. If the same ratio should continue in
the future, the population will increase one
tenth in twenty years, two-tenths III thirty
eight years, three. tenths in fifty-ive years,
and will not double itself before the lapse of
LAG years. There is one birth to 34,066 in
habftants, and 0.84 deaths--that is to say, 100
births to eighty-four deaths. There is one
death and 1.20 births to Al, o50 inhabitants, or
100 deaths to 100 births. There is one mar
riage TO l2T inhabitants, and 34l legitimate
births; or BAL legitimate births to 100 mar
riages. To every l,O74 inhabitants there
are, annually, twenty-niue births, twenty
FIVE deaths and nine marriages.
