while the ruling cIasss Of Great Britain
are pursuing course which must inevitably
al enate the friendship of all the leading M.
tions which otherwise might have remained
her allies, movements and combinations are
in progress, the final result of which must be
her discomfiture aud humiliation. OF all the
the Great Powers Of Europe France is the
only one with whom she is upon terms OF cor.
duality, and the country is her hercdiality
enemy,
Through rs tho allience apparently is be-
tween these two powers, il is not one which
is regarded by the British people without dis
trust. Though all Of the specinus and fiat
tering preteces Of the Emperor they strongly
and. as we think, with good reason, susp &c,
an ulterior purpose. Even the Pamerston'
and Russells. whom he benda 10 his purposes
cannot altogether conceal their apprehension
in witnessing, from year to year, his immense
and increasing military preparations, which
could no where be used Nth such effect al
against Great Britain.
Gradually but surely, the crafty Emperor
approaches 10 the contamination Of his pur
poser; gradually the curtain lfis, giving us y
clear iusigh, into bis policy. On account o
the part which. At h;s inspiration, Great Brit
ain took in the Crimean war, she lost the
friendship Of the Russian Government, excl
ting in all classes in that empire feeling o
bitter aud implacsble hostility which no ap
pease. Austria, too, is deeply offended BY
the moral support given to VIoroR EMANuEL
and the Emperor NAPOLEON in the Italian
war. and yet the obligation Of Italy is 40 muci
greater to France than TO her "a turn the scale
in favor Of the latter in any contest betweeI
the two powers. Having accomplished hi
object, so far, the Emperor, ~ We learn by
the last arrival, now forms an alliance will
Russia, by which he consents to the execution
Of the long cherished designs Of that powe
upon Turkey. which would open to it th'
gateway Of India, and seriously threateI
British supremacy in that quarter.
To such a result LOUIS NAPOLEON vel
knows that Great Britain can never consent.
Both pride and interest will compel her resist
it at any sacrifice. Not to do so would sir |
that government at once to the rank Of q
secondary power. Resist it she must; il di
plonacy fails there will be no other alterna
tive than an appeal to force. In that case q
war with Russia, however injurious, would be
inevitable. Napoleon could thnn proceed, il
his owr time and manner, to the accomplish
ment Of his designs. In such a contingency
there would be no power except the United
States, whose alliance with Great Britain bt
would have reason to fear. To provide
against the possibility Of this, he has, from the
beginning Of the rebellion, encouraged Grea
Britasn in policy towards this country which
be well knew must result in permanent ali
enation. In this design, also, ke has admira
bly, succeeded, and now, having thus guardr'
himself against interference from this quarter
be is ready to proceed in the accomplishment
of his purposes.

localities may be without tickets, We ap-
pend copy of the ticket to be voted,
which any voter can copy for himself with
lead pencil on piece of paper, emitting
the word For" or Against as he may
desire to vote ON one side Or tho other.
Of couse every voter knows, that should
the vote throughout the state be against
the new constitution, and yet " for any
one of tho articles or sections sumit,ed
separately, the portion so adopted will be-
come a part of the present consultation.
The following is the ticket, according to
the Schedule:
For [Againstl the new Constitution.
For [AgainstI Article prohibiting Banks.

NEGRoxAxIA-The a5olitionists have
succeeded in soaring the President into
annuiing the action of GOV. Stanley, Of
North Caolina, in closing up certain negro
schools about Ncwbern.
So far as the negro schools are concerned,
there was probably no serious objection to
them. If any body is philanthropic
enough to engage in such business during
hot weather, spirit of self sacrifice like
that is not to be despised. The only diff.
ficulty about it Is, if Gov. Stanley was sent
to North Carolina to act as Governor for
the loyal people of that state, and is not
allowed to enforce the local laws, pray
what are h,s functions If bis rule it to
be purely arbitrary and military, whore

GEN. HALLEcx's ARNY.
The situation" at and around Corinth
is briefly as follows: -.
Gen. Halleck has his head quarters At
Corintb, and has around him General
Thomas division of about 6, 900 men, who
are repairing the railroad toward Grand
Junction.
Gen. Buell., with $4,000 men, is in hot
pursuit of Gen. Polk, who is somewhere
between Grand Junction and Memphis,
with demoralized, partially disorganized
force supposed to be tLirty or forty thou
san6 strong. .@7 s.7 %
Gen. Sherman, with 10000 men, is re-
pairing and guarding the railroad from
Grand junction to Memphis.
Gen Pope, with 10000 men, is in Pur'
suit of Van Dorn's flying column, said to
be at Satillo, sc miles south Of Corinth,
Pope being about 10 miles behind him.
| Van Dorn's army is greatly demoralized
and the prisoners Pope has thus far taken,
amounting to ten or twelve thousand, are
nearly all voluntarily such. -r .-ss
Gen. Self Davis, at last accounts, was st
Bolivar with 10000 men, repairing the
Mobile e. O. r. T. north of Grand Junction.
Gen. Mitchell, at last accounts, had his
head quarters still at Huntsville. On the
9th, he drove the enemy from Winchester
back to the Chattanooga, with considera-
BILE slaughter, and there is report that
he afterwards drove the enemy, after a
two days bloody fight. from Chattanooga,
but this needs confirmation.
The truth 0: 1t appears to be- from latest
reports, that Gen. Negley, OF Mitchelrs
division, had attacked Chattanooga on the
9th, and on the eth their batteries were
silenced. On the Sth our batteries again
opened fire on the town and rife pits,
driving them out Of their works and fore
ing them to evacuate the city. Whether
our forces occupy the place or not, how
ever, is not stated.

CenGressisnal Action.

Two important bills, upon which Con-
gress has been celebrating for six months,
finally passed both houses this week.
The tax bill, which passed the house
SIX weeks ago. passed the Senate on
Tuesday It was, however, very essen
tisliy ,nediaed in the Senate, and it may
take another month to get the two houses
to agree on the amendments. The most
important amendment attached by the
amendment Was tax OF cent per ID. on
cotton, against which New England fought
with all her might for four long weeks
a good many petty items. which were cal
culated to produce more annoyance than
revenue were stricken out entirely. Some
imposts are reduced onehalf Should the
country hereafter grow Two and half
Millions Of bales of bales of four hundred
pounds each, this tax will yield Five Mil
lions of Dollars. Among the articles
which the Senate refused to tax are
watches, plates and dogs The main rea-
son for this is the large expense of col
lecting and poke-nose scrutiny involved
in levying such taxes. Slaves, the Senate,
like the House, ultimately refused to tax
we think wisely.
Tho other bill is for the collection of
direct taxes in the insurrcctionary dis
tr,cts. This has been signed by the
President and become law. It provides
for the sale of real estate in certain cases
for this purpose, where owners have aban-
doned their land to engage in the rebel
lion, and the same shall have been struck
of to the U. S. at vendue. Tho commits
sioners proposed to be appointed may
lease the same under such regulations as
will secure proper and reasonable employ
ment at wages or upon shares of the crop
of such persons or families as may be
residing upon the land The proceeds Of
the leases and sales are to be paid into
the treasury, one-fourth of which is to be
paid over to the Governor of State
wherein such lands are situated, or his
authorized agent. When such insurrec.
ton shall be put down, and the people
shall elect Legislature and State officers,
who shall take an oath to support the
of the United States, and
