Hon. Edward Everett on the State
OF the Country.

Hon. Edward Everett contributes to
the New York Ledger an article "On the
Prospects of the Opening Year" He
shows that "the prospect has never been
so bright, in the month Of January, since
the outbreak of the war" Abroad, for
eign Governments, pre-oeeupied by the
complications of European Politics, and
every day less and less disposed to inter
fere in our affairs, welcome the support
which public sentiment is yielding to a
sincerely neutral policy. At home, the
signs of the opening year are ominous of
impending ruin to the rebellion, and au-
spicious of success to the righteous cause.
Mr.. Everett, after referring to the forci-
BILE means by which Secession was brought
about, shows some of the grounds
for the opinion that the delusion under
which the South has been plunged into
this desolating war will prove as trans
lent rs it is mOnstrous. lt is now admit
ted that it is the shareholders war, and
the shareholders comprise but small
part of the population of the South. IL
is known that between the slaveholding
aristocracy and the non-slsveholding
masses of the South there is as little sym
pathy of feeling as there is community of
interest. ne ehtlfe NH country IDdl
divides the region between the Atlantic
and the Mississippi Including East Ten
nessee and Western Virginis) is substsn-
tally a non slayeholding country. and
the population is as loyal as that of
Massachusetts Mr Everett inquiries, in
conclusion:
is a population, made up of these ell
ements, and OF which three-fourths are
neither by interest nor sympathy enlisted
in the support OF slavery, going to wage
an eternal war for its proteetionl Is this
probable, is this possible, on any known
principle of human nature Nay, will
the shareholders themselves prolOng a
struggle which il booming to swift de-
struction the very principle which it is
wsged to protect : war OF
principle, of feeling, or of race. may be
waged till the weaker party is extermina-
ted; but whoever heard of a war indehn
itely prolonged for a species of property,
by a population of which three-fourths
had no share in that property, while the
other fourth, by the necessary operations
of the contest, were stripped of the prop
erty for the protection OF which the war
is waged!"

Fight About a Bull.

A strange feud has existed for several
years in the parish of Emily. in the arch
bishopric of Cashel, Ireland, between two
Roman Catholic factions called the Three
year olds' and the -Four year olds,' caused
originally by dispute as to the age of
bull kept near Tipperary, one party as
serting that he was three years old and
the other swearing as Justify that he was
four. The feud has waxed more bitter
and furious with time, and the Archbish-
op of Cashel, in a pastoral letter to bis
belligerent portion Of the flock, reeounts
list of six persons murdered, five badly
fractured, one dangerously stabbed, one
badly beaten, and number dangerously

RemaRism In England and Scotland.

While the Church of Rome is growing
weak at the centre. it still shows signs
of vigor at the extremities. Travellers
in Italy tells us that the Catholic faith is
dying out in the land of the Papacy
itself, but at the same time it seems 10
be spreading in other parts of Europe, as
well as in America. Especially has it ia
ken deep root in Great Britain, and not
only in ireland, but also in England, and
even in staid old Scotland, the land of
the Covenanters, Romish churches are
beginning to appear on every side. But
even this is less alarming than the subtle
spirit of Romanism which is so widely in
fused into the Established Church of
England. Some of the strange develop
ments in that Church haYe been noticed
from time to time by our Foreign cores
pondents. Our readers may recall es-
pecially the eccentricities of the rector of
Clayton, who glories in the name of Broth
er Ignatius. This jealous apostle has
been lately itinersting in the Highlands,
and on his return he appeared at Ips-
wich, and delivered lecture on Monks
and Monasteries, in which he argued that
monasteries should be restored, first, on
Scriptural grounds; secondly, on eccle<i-
astical grounds; thirdly, on practical
grounds; and lastly, on political grounds
His address extended over two hours,
and notwithstanding some interruptions,
was listened to with attention. He be-
gan and concluded with prayer and
chanting, in which he was assisted by six
boys and three monks. The following is
the pith of his argument. He COM
menced by saying:
Monks would alone enable the Church
of England to reach the poor. How, for
instance, could one priest in London with
three curates reach 10000 people? Only
by men bound by solemn oaths to God
could the masses be reached and he re-
ferred to places on the Continent where
six sermons per diem had been given in
the same churches during Lent, by the
assistance of monks, and with eminent
success.
He did not deny that there had been
bad monks and bad nuns, but was that a
valid reason for sweeping away 10000
monks from England He could account
for abuses, one explanation being that
parents sometimes forced sons to be
monks when they were unwilling and un-
fit-without consideration of the system

Editors Missouri Democrat:
SIRs: enclose you extracts from a
speech delivered few days ago by Gen
eral Z. w. CAN'T, in a Union meeting held
here in Little Rock, which heard
While the apologists of slavery in the
North are advocating the restoration Of
the seeded States with unimpaired
rights, aud with slavery still existing
when the war is ended, General CAN'T
and Others At the South propose TO strike
out of existence, at once and forever, the
cIuse of all our difficulties-slavery. As
fast as Shareholders and secessionists be-
come convinced that the Southern Con-
fe,!rraHv is a failure, and that they have
got ~ i've under the Federal Govern
menI again. Just so fast does the convic-
ton force itself upon them, that there
can be no permanent peace in the future,
unless slavery is destroyed; now, with
them, one Of the alternatives of the prop
osition enunciated by Mr.. Lincoln and
Mr.. Seward few years ago, "AH free, Of
all slaps," has come, and with them now,
Il is "aH free" The leading Union men
here, now take the ground that Arksn-
sas must come back free State. This
conviction Is fast spreading, not only in
Arkansas, but in Louisiana, Tennessee,
and Mississippi. Those people in the
North who seem so exceedingly fearful
lest slavery may be overthrown in this
war, and who make such free use of the
term, "rabid AboLit;Onisf," will soon have
to apply that term to the Southern peo-
pie themselves.
General CAN'T is one of the leading
men of Arkansas, and wie.,.3 very ex-
tensive influence in the State. He was
elected to the Federal Congress in 1860,
by very large majority, to succeed Rust,
and would have taken his seat in Decem
Der, 1861, had not secession taken place.
He went out with his State and entered
the rebel service. He was in command
at New Madrid when Pope besieged that
place. until four days before its evacua-
tion, and was second in command at
Island No. 10, when General Mackall sur
rendered that stronghold toGeneral Pope,
and afterwards went TO Fort Warren
He has become convinced that the seces-
sion movements not only failure, but a
great crime, and comes out in an open
and manly way and acknowledges his er-
ror, and urges the peoole Of Arkansas
and the South to return to their allegi-
ance to the flag of the Union. He is now
earnestly and zealously in behalf
of the cause OF freedom.
Very respectfully yours.

Brigadier General.

REASONING OF NEWFOUNDLAND Doe
A friend of mine. while shooting wild
fowl with his brother, was attended by
sagacious dog of this breed. In getting
near some reeds by the side of river.
they threw down their hats and crept to
the edge of the water, where they fired
at some birds. They soon afterwardssent
the dog to bring their hats, one of which
was smaller than the other. After sever
al attempts to bring them both together
in his mouth, the dog at last placed the
smaller hat in the larger one, pressed il
down with his foot, and thus was able to

DEAD.

Oiye autumn breeEes signing,
Tell me. is il So?
That my darling friend is lying
In the grave so low?
That the dying summer zephyrs,
Passing on their way,
Bore the bright winged angels whispers,
Bidding her TO come away
Ahl dreamed not God wss calling
From on high:
And that when Autumn leaves were falling,
My friend must die.
Prom my heart al joy and giainess
Quickly fed
When with mingled grief and sadness
They told me she Wss dead.
They told me she had gone 10 rest
Beneath the cold. damp sod:
But that her home was with the blest
In heayen-with God;
And then that brighter world seemed nearer
A nd far more fair:
And sill my hopes OF heaven were dearsr,
Now my dear friend was there.
| know We never mere shall meet
Upon this earthly shore;
but by where happy angels greet.
Well meet to part no more.
And. thCugh dear friends are sadly weeping
For the loved one passed away.
We know dear Hsnnah's only sleeping
Until the judgm mt day:
And now while Autumn winds are sighins,
Above the fresh laid sod,
lis but the form that's lowly lying
THE SPIRIT RESTS WITH GoD.

POPULATION OF THE EARTH.-A Professor

the population of the earth, according to
which Europe contains 272 millions; Asia
720 millions: Africa SO millions; America
200 millions, and Polynesia , millions
making grand total Of l,2S3 millions OF
inhabitants.
As in places where deaths are accurate
ly registered, the annual mortality is at
least l in 40. the number of deaths must
be about 30 millions every year, which
gives 81 ,76l per day, 1858 per hour and

Progress of Banoon,ng as a Science.

Progress OF RailOOHlnS as SClSnSo-
From late London papers we gather
some interesting accounts of the progress
which is being made in the application Of
balloons to useful ends, From mere mat
ter of amusement, of the sensational or
der, aerial ascensions have become of great
importance in military operations, the
portion of an army being accurately seen
at safe distance, and lately photographs
have been taken, although not with per-
feet success But the most important aid
the balloon has rendered to science, has
been in the discovery of meteorological
facts undemonstrable by any other means.
1t has been clearly established that when
ever rain is falling from an overcast sky
there is an upper stratum of clouds, the
pressure of which causes the rain to fall
from the lower one. Mr.. Gleisher gives
the following description of the size of
rain drops at different elevations:
The size of the rain drop as it fell on
my note book before starting was fully as
large as a four-penny-p piece. The decreas-
ed in size in ascending, but our upward
mount was too quick, and we soon passed
out of rain. On descending from above
the cloud. We first encountered dry, then
a wet fog; passed into that which may be
described as damp air, or exceedingly fine
rain; then experienced very fine, but de-
eided. drops of rain, like pins points, COW
ering the note book; these increased in
size on approaching the earth, but most
rapidly when very near the earth. The
drops of rain on returning to the earth
were as large as those noticed on leaving,
and rain had been falling all the time we
were in the balloon" In addition to all
this, the force and regularity of the cur
rents of air at different elevations, are be-
ing so fully classified that it is not impos-
sible that aerial navigation may yet be
made safe and eertsin Think of Bal
loon trip to China, calling for passengers
at San Francisco and the Sandwich Is
lands! and yet Ocean Steam navigation
seemed as incredible century ago.
