A Fool and His Folly.

There has been printed in some unknown
locality in this city, an obscure weekly
paper called 'The Union League" established
as the organ of secret society of stay-a
home patriots of that title. 1t is said to
have been editorially nonsensical combi-
nation of sour milk and dish water, nasty
aud weak. Immediately after the election
The League died out without anybody
knowing it except those who lost the
amount oftheir subscriptions to it, If it had
any subscribers. But we are now informed
that the editor of the defunct Ledgte has
transferred his types and himself to The
Columbus Gazette Office, and is using the
columns of that once popular local family
paper as vehicle through which to
filter his old mixture of sour milk and dish
water in the shape of ridiculous Abolition
diatribes. He seems anxious to make his
readers believe that he is in desperate
controversy with The STATESMAN and fol
our part we are content to suffer him to
continue the deluslon just as long as il
pleases him, or as long as he is able to keer
The Gazette from following The League to the
crave.

Arming ,he Negroes.

tIsichmond Correspondence Of the London IimesJ
ButthemO significant fact as indicating
that this struggle of the South for indepen-
dence will never be abandoned for years TO
come, Is that everywhere on the streets. IN
the rllroad cars, and among private circles
the propriety OF arming and pattngHe negro
into die ranks Is eagerly discussed. There has
always in the South been sentimental
antipathy to setting children to do the
work of men, or in other words, to seeking
from q feeble. unwarlike and submissive
race the exhibition of passions and the ex-
ercise of qualities which have been always
regarded as the attributes Of a dominant
and superior race. But 1t remains, If oc-
casion demands for the South to exhibit
how the negro, when placed side by side
with the master whom he has known and
loved since the infancy Of both, will fight
for the maintenance of slavery against his
brethren, who seek to compass its forcible
abolition. The words recently employed
by Mr.. Lincoln, TO the effect that he had
and that he should like to see how any
Northern man who proposed to employ
only white soldiers would carry on this
war. have sunk deep into many Southern
heart. 1t will be strange corollary to this
war, If the campaign of 1865 finds 200 600
armed negroes from the, North, try
ing conclusions with 100000 armed ne
groes from the South, and If the
ocean of blood which has already been
spilled Is darkened by fresh current, to be
added to it next year, flowing from the veins
# that hapless race which seems likely to
be involved in conflict whose passions 1t
cannot share and whose prizes it cannot ap.
prcciate.

We regret to see that several of our best
country exchanges have been compelled to
succumb to the pressure of the. ''hard
times,p and suspend publication. The
Steubenville Cbwier,. an excellent Demo-
cratic journal edited and published by w.
T. LoGAS and d. P. BOYER, is the latest to
meet this undeserved fate. In Its issue Of
Wednesday its editors say that they sup
ported Democratic principles and Repub-
lican Institutions, and as the people have
declared against these In the late election,
there Is little use for newspapers devoted
exclusively to their advocacy. This is not,
in our opinion, the correct view to take of
the matter. Because the Wrong has receiv-
ed temporary Endorsement from the peo-
pie, 1t does not follow that the Right must
surrender; because the vessel brelks amid
ships, It docs not follow that the passen-
gers should be LEFT TO their fate. We trust
our cotemporaries Of The Courier win find a
more congenial location and meet with a
more anspicious fortune hereafter. s

The brazilian War Breeze.

When the announcement OF the. circum-
stances under which the rebel pirate Flor
ida was first made. we expressed the opin-
ion that the Secretary of Foreign Affairs
would have an opportunity of displaying
his clustering diplomacy in case where
there was less probability of being COM
PEELED to back down from his position than
in the Trent affair, because Brazil is aweak-
er power than Great Britain. 1t is now
stated that Secretary SEWARD is about to
demand an apology from the Brazilian
government for the insult offered to our
flag by the Bahia forts firing upon the
American vessel after she had captured the
Florida in that port. 1t was reasonably
expected that the Brazilian Government
would demand an apology from this
Government for the insult to it; but
SEWARD will, it seems, take tie initiatory
steps to bring on controversy and compli-
cate the questions involved. From the
bitter experience of the past three years it
Is not safe to conclude that any question of
International rights will be settled by the
much ridiculed resources of diplomacy, as
long as there is chance of accomplishing
the end by bluster and the parade Of mill
tary force; and it is therefore not unreason-
able to fear that the Federal Government
will become involved in war with Brazil
in addition to the perils and difficulties
that environ it at home.

THE FINANCES AND THE PRICE OF GOLD.
Correspondence Of The World.l
WASHINGTON, Nov. Is.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Is.
THE FINANCES AND THE PRICE OF GOLD.
Pending the various peace rumors which
are afloat, gold will fluctuate violently, and
may drift back to 220 or 225. Added to
these rumors it is certain that before the
report of Secretary Fessenden is made
known. there will be great uncertainty in
commercial operations. 1t is understood
here that in no event will Secretary Fes-
senden consent to an increase of the circu-
lating medium. He will propose a most
severe scheme of taxation. He will insist
also upon the estimate both of the army
and, navy for the coming year to be cut
down TO the lowest point, and he will also
discountenance the issue of any more gold
interest bearing bonds. He hopes to re-
duce the expenses Of the war at least two
hundred millions per annum and to raise
by wise and severe taxation at least one
hundred millions more per annum than the
present income of the government. These
efforts of the Secretary OF the Treasury will
tend to bring down the price ofgold, which
will not take an upward jump until it be-
comes manifest that the South will not re-
turn to the Union under Lincoln's rule,
and that we will have to submit to state
of continued war for many years to come.
1t is definitely settled that we are to have
most important changes in the cabinet inn
medately after the meeting of Congress
and the reports of the various secretaries.
Mr.. Lincoln has been urged to delay any
changes until after the present Congress
adjourns, when he is expected to call to-
gether the new Senate on the 9th of March,
send in the names of his new ministers and
start out with fresh government. The
radicals. however, are clamorous for some
changes in the cabinet, and they will doubt
less be gratiiied, as Mr.. Lincoln will give
them full rein during his second term of
ofiipp

The Atlantic Monthly en- the At
Inniic md Great Western Rail-

way.
In the atlantic Monthly for November we
find an article from the pen of FITz HUGH
LUDLOW Oh the Atlantic and Pacific Rail-
way to San Francisco, in which he speaks
of one of the completed links of that great
thoroughfare of the no distant future as
follows:
1--WE write this article in September
Within few DAYS, and without much her
aiding, has occurred an event of prime I'M
portance to our cOuntry's future. This is
the opening from New York to st. Louis Of
continuous broad-guage line under the
title of the Atlantic and Great Western
Railway. This line is twelve hundred miles
long. and pursues the following route: BY
the New York and Erie Road, from New
by separate road of the Atlantic and
Great Western to Dayton, Ohio; thence,
over the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Day ton
Road, to Cincinnati; and finally, by the
Ohio and Mississippi Road, to st. Louis
The first excursion train accomplished the
whole distance in forty-four hours
We understand that the regular express
trains of the line will be required to make
equally good time--ultmately perhaps, to
reduce the time to forty hours.
This valuable connection has been main
ly effected by the energy and talents Of
two men. Mr.. James MclIenry, a Pennsyl-
vanian by birth, but of late years resident
abroad, has raised twenty million dollars
for the project in the money markets of
England, Spain and Germany, the bonds of
the company obtaining ready sale upon the
guaranty of his personal high character for
uprightness and financial ability. Mr..
Thomas w. Kennard, an engineer and cap
italist of large views, discretion and eXpe-
rience, has managed the interests of the
project here at home, securing the hearty
cooperation and good will of all the roads
now made continuous, and bringing the en-
terprise to successful issue with skill
possible only to frst-cass commercial gen.
ius. The former of these gentlemen is FL
nancial Director and Contractor, the latter,
Engineer-in- Chief Vice President, and
General Manager of the line. At any 9TH
er period than this, their success would
have been widely talked of as q great ma
tional benefit. Even now let us not forget
the public spirited men whose hopeful
hands, in the midst of blood and din have
been sowing seeds of commercial prosperi-
ty to glorify with their perfected harvest
the day of our national triumph and re-
union.'
