RECONsTRUCTlON.

Gen. Ashlsy's territorial bill was tabled, as
readers OF congressional will recollcct, by a
majority Of ten. The hfly.fve votes agains,
tabliog II were all thrown by Republicans.
II Gen. Ashley's bill bad been introduced
month earlier, II would have met with less favor
A month hence, the main principles Of the bill
will perhaps command general favor The
change that is going on in that respect results
from the new views which are being forced
BY events, Of the deep seated aud apparently
implacable character Of the rebellion. As we
penetrate Secessis, we find less UniOnism and
more hostility than was expected, and men are
beginning TO doubt II 1t is quite safe to estab.
lish the rule as fixed and constitutional one,
that States which have left the Union, and made
war upon it, can claim to come back into il al
any time, as matter OF right and without
terms. 1t is seen that such an exaltation Of
State sovereignty as this may enure 10 the ben.
eft, In some instances, Of unrepentant traitors,
and to the ruin Of loyal minorties.
The truth Is, there is no constitutional rule
for our government in case like the present,
which was not and could not have been antici
psted by the trainers Of our Political system
We have only 10 do what is expedent to b'
done, In the strange predcament Of circum
stances in which we find ourselves.
Let us take, for example, the instance o
Texas, which was admitted into the UDion as
matter Of bargain, with all the terms set dow
in proposition made by US and acceded TO b.
her. She has now violated that bargain at al
points, and 1t is most extraordinary II she ca
hold us to II, and II We cannot insist upon sue
changes as may secure our safety against ne'
outbreaks Of treachery In the same quarter.
we can find such security in the differences {
character in the population Of the different se'
tions Of that State, and II We think II best I
avail ourselves Of 1t by lin some form) detacl
ing Western from Eastern Texas, the countr
will be slow to believe in any fancilul constitr
tionsl principles, which can 30 control, in q
ertrs-constitutious emergency, as to dissbl
the nation from taking precautions for it's e,
istence and safety.
The national Republican., 1862-03-25

as our nation 10 struggling to be freed nom its
cruel ,hraldom; and as the present is The golden
hour, which, u neglected, may never greet us
again, II becomes the serious and imperative
duty Of Congress 10 remove this stigma from
our national ssoatoAsos 10 repeal those meta
rlous laws Of Drs,o to wrest the key y-stone
from the arch Of rebel slavery and, while \
falls In rsmediless ruin, 70 rejoice 10 the shou
Of the loyal people:
Down let the shrine Of Moloch sink,
And leave no traces where II stood;
No longer let that idol drink
Its daily cup OF human blood;
But rear another altar there,
To truth and love and mercy given;
| And frsedom's gin and freemen's prayer
| Shall cali blessing down from heaven.

THEIR FAITH UNsHAKES.A gentleman from
Alexandria, well informed as to the opinions
of people there, tells us that the faith Of seces'
sionists there in the ultimate success Of their
cause, does not appear to be at all ehsken, as
yeL They regard recent rever-es as only a
temporary course Of the fortune Of war, and
still maintain that =" the South cannot be sub
jugated" II that is really the state Of feeling
among the Alexandria secesionists, we can
easily Judge what II must be among the seces
sionists Of the farther South, who are still lts'
we'll informed as 10 the progress Of the Union
cause.

The Nashville daily union. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1862-1866, 1862-09-13

The English papers give an account of
a trial trip upon the London Subterra-
mean Railroad, on the 4th of August.
The engine consumes its own smoke and
condenses its own steam - necessary
qualifications in an underground locomo-
tive-but il is quite capable Of fixing
and whistling in the open air. The cars
are longer wider, and higher than those
in ordinary use, and are lit with gas from
a receptacle in thereof, which is filed AZ
either termini of the railroad. The train
moved az the rate of twelve miles an
hour, and, as il passed along, the rum
bling of wagons overhead on the great
thOroughfares Of London could be dis
tinctly heard. There are several way
stations on the road, which communica-
ted with the outer world by means Of
cuttings, which are described as miracles
of engineering skill. Passengers and
baggage are received and discharged at
those places. The fare in second-class
cars for the whole trip is four cents, and
the company is obliged by law TO run a
train each way, at six In the morning and
six in the evening, for working people for
two cents fare, When Prince Napoleon
went over the line during his visit TO
London, he was so pleased with IL that
he gave a glowing description Of lis adj
v~antages TO the French Emperor on his
return 10 Paris. The Emperor at once
adopted the idea, and a subterrancanrail-
rad line under Paris, between Montnarc
aud the Louvre, was ordered forthwith
and Is now in course of construction.
