There was day when TAlleyrand ar
rived in Havre, on foot, from Paris. It
was the darkest hour Of the French revo.
luton. Pursued by the bloodhounds Of
his reign of terror, Talleyrand secured .
passage to the United States in ship
about to sail. He was beggsr and .
wsnderer to strange land, perhaps to
earn his daily bread by the sweat Of his
brow.
els there any American staying at your
house ?" he asked the landlord of the ho-
tel. 81 am going across the water, and
would like q letter to person of influence

"Ihere IS gentleman up stairs either
from America or Britain but whether
from America or England cannot tell. !"
He pointed the way, and Talleyrand
who, in his life, was bishop, prince, and
able suppliant, he stood before the stran-
gers room, knocked and entered. In the
corner OF the dimly-lighted room sat a
man fifty years of age, his arms folded,
and his head bowed upon his breast
From window directly opposite, a food
of light poured upon his head. His
eyes looked from the downcast brows,
and upon Talleyrand's face with pecu
liar searching expression. His form, Wig
orous even in the SHOWS of fifty winters,
was clad in dark but rich and distin-
guished costume. Talleyrand advanced,
stated that be was a fugitive, and with
the impression that the gentleman was an
American, he solicited his kind feelings
and Offices; he poured forth his history
in his eloquent French and broken Eng
lish.
Il am a wsnderer and an exile. / am
forced to fly to the New World without
friend or home. You are an American.
Give me. then, beseech you, letter of
yours, so that | may be able to earn my
bread. l am willing to toll in any man.
ner; life of labor would be paradise
compared with life of luxury in France.
You will give me a letter to one of your
friendsy A gentleman like You doubt
less has very many friends"
The strange gentleman arose. With
look that Talleyrand never forgot, he re-
treated towards the door Of the next cham
Der, his eyes looking still from beneath
his darkened brow, he spoke as be re-
treated backward, his voice full of mean
ing
81 am the only man in the New World
who can raise his hand to God, and say,
| have not a friend, not one in Amer
ica"
Talleyrand never forgot the over
whesming sadness of the look which ac-
coupanied these words.

strange man retreated to the next door

that had more of mockery than of JOY in

Thus he wandered over the earth, an.

upon his brow, and his sad fate is likely
to be shared by others in our own day,

says:
The country looks forward with high
hope 10 the future movements of General
Morgan. II he had incentives to great
enterprise before. in his ardent patriot
ism and extraordinary energy, he has mo-
tives now which will add tenfold vieor to
his resolution and fire his heart. The
ignomny of his treatment in Columbus.
and the cruel treatment, resulting in the
death Of one of the best and bravest of
their number, which has been inflicted
upon his imprisoned comrades in conse
quence of his escape. call trumpet-tongued
for vengeance.
His nature is too noble aud exalted TO
visit hat vengeance upon the weak and
defenseless ; upon women, children, and
old men, after the fashion of the cowardly
savages among our enemies, who have
made mankind blush for their crimes
But every legitimate method of retaliation
he is bound TO accomplish by every die

and who is governed by fear rather than

At the same time, we expect from Gen.
Morgan the greatest caution and prudence,
for all the craft and subjects that the most
internal malignity can suggest will be EN-.
ployed to entrap, circumvent, and DESTROY
him. We believe he is more than

ago, in command of "a splendidly
mounted expedition. IL is said that

tinued his march through Western
Virginia, and, few days ago, captured
the important saltworks near Abing-
don. His raid was unexpected, and the
rebels had no formidable force to OPP
pose him in his movements Abingdon
was captured without a fight, as the
force garrisoning the place was not suf
ficient to hold itsgainst the oyerwhelm-
ing numbers brought TO bear against it

The success Of the expedition will
prove quite damaging 10 the rebels, as
the destruction Of the salt-works is y
loss which cannot easily be replaced.

mounted troops, well equipped and
armed, and, if ne should attempt raid

The GeOrgLa Peace PROPOSITIONS.

The Macon, Georgia, Confederate
says that Governor BRowN has informed
the agent of General SHERMAN, that she
is but the commander of one of the
Union armies, while himself is but the
Governor of a single State, and that
therefore he does not see that any good
canssresult from negotiations between
Them"
1t also states that the agent of Gen
eral SHERMAN appealed to the Governor
TO save the peopleof the remainder of the
State from the horrors which had been
visited on those between Chattanooga
and Atlanta; and asked if he desired
to see what these were, to travel over
the country which had been devastated
by hostile armies, and observe some
thing Of the results of war. The above
answer, if we may believe the Ccnfed-
crate, was all that was elected. If Gov
ernor BROWN did make the above reply,
Georgia must expect to experience a
little more tribulation within the next
six months.

News from the South.
Slate Rights aud Peace Proposition
Gen. Sherman and Governor Brown.

lFram the Charleston Courier, Sept p
1t should never be forgotten that one
great cause Of the catastrophe which
has destroyed the Union as II was, past
all impossibility of restoration, was the
violation of the distinctive rights and
neglect Of the duties OF the States. A
recurrence 10 the States must therefore
form a part Of any solution of the war
question, and a faithful observance of
the rights and relative duties of the
States must be a condition Of perms-
nence and success for any league or
compact that can be formed for any
number of States
Wemust look to the States, therefore,
and, Notwithstanding self-respect and
policy and safety and honor compel Us
to guard against and denounce the Sc
ductive appeals of Yankee politicians
OF the fraudulent contrivances of YAM
kee sham governors to abuse or usurp
the names Of States, we must be pre-
pared to see the States acting properly.
The whole spirit and tenor and letter
of the constitution were violated in the
undertaking OF the war, which was not
contemplated or provided for, and to
get peace the North must - and, of
course, the South must-go above and
against the constitution. There is no
thing in the spirit Of the constitution
and of genuine American institutions
and elements Of government and politi-
cal relations forbidding one State from
communicating with another State. If
any Northern State is prepared in the
comfy and consideration OF the original
Union and sisterhood of equal indepen-
dent States to make authentic proposals
towards peace to any Southern State, we
see nothing to forbid the acceptance of
these proposals for consideration, if
worthy of consideration.
Governor Brown has nothing to do
with Sherman, but to do all he can to
get him out of Georgia, or keep him as
a prisoner, unless such communication
as may properly be had under the rules
of war; but We see not why Governor
Brown could not properly receive and
answer any proper communication from
the governor of any State
a recurrence to the distinctive prin-
ciples of the original Union-the sever
atty and equality Of the States-is our
plain and obvious duty, and only sure
line of policy for war or peace.
We mean not to weaken or embarrass
in any wise the Confederate or common
and coparcenary authorities, who can
only be strong, wisely and healthfully
in keeping within their defined limits.
If there is any doubt about a right OF a
power it should not be exercised by the
Confederate authorities, but, if it indi-
cates necessity, should be done by the
States.
