The following words should be
written in "Letters of Gold" all
over the land:
"There can be no individual lib
erty where every citizen is not sub
ject 10 the law, and where he is
subject to aught else than the law.
1t is obvious that whatever wise
provisions q Constitution may con,
tain, nothing is gained if the power
of declaring martial law be left in
the hands Of the Executive; for de
claring martial law, or proclaiming
a place IN state of siege, simply
means the suspension Of the due
course Of law, Of the right of cha
beas corpus" of the common law,
and of the action of the Courts. -

pondent of the London Times
"Walking the other day at Biar-
ritz, his Majesty happened to meet
an intelligent'looking boy, about
eight or nine years old, who took
off his hat as he passed. The En-
peror courteously returned the sa-
lutte and said, Are you English ?
No. answered the boy quickly,
and dlawing himself up, I'm A.
merican.' 'Oh! American, are
you? Well, tell me, which are you
for, North or South 2 We'll, faith
er's for the North I believe, but I
am certainly for the South. For
which of them are you, sir?' The
Emperor stroked his moustache,
smiled, hesitated little, and then
said, 4 am for both For both,
are you? Well, that's not SO easy,
and it will please nobody His
Majesty let the conversation drop,
and walked on"

A certain contractor whose name

last night where he played at faro,
and lost 275, 900 bushels of oats, val.

stored away here to be delivered

The people of the neighborhood

just published in the Paris Revue

we'll as very remarkable paper on
the subject of the campaign he re-
Gently made, with his two royal
nephews, by the side OF Mcclellan.
At the close Of the Princes nrra-
tive, occurs the following striking
passage:
eff the struggle between the two
sections now in arms, should be
prolonged, if the solution of their
great conflict should be much fur
ther postponed, then evilso of anoth,
er character may spring from it
Urged on by the passions and me-
cessities of the struggle, the Fede-
raj Government may proclaim the
abolition Of slavery, and may even
be impelled to employ a terrible
means of carrying on the war, by
arming the slaves against their
masters. But Sucha measure, apart
from its features of violence and
barbarity, would be of no profit to
those who should adopt it 1t would
lead to irrepressible divisions in the
bosom OF the Northern States, far
more beneficial than injurious to
the secession cause"
