JOHN BRIGHT on THE STRENGTH OF OUR
GovERxNENT.-John Bright closed his speech
at Rochdale with the following noble tribute ::
"Will anybody deny that the Government at
Washington, as regards its own people, is the
strongest Government in the world at this
hous [Cheers.l And for this simple rea-
son, because it is based on the will, and the
good will, of an instructed people. [Cheers.l
Look at the power! lam not now discussing
why it is, or the cause which is developing its
power; but power is the thing which men re-
gard in these old countries, and which they
ascribe mainly to European institutions; but
look at the power which the United States
have developed They have brought more
men into the field, they have built more ships
for their navy, they have shown greater re-
sources than any nation in Europe at this
moment is capable OF. Look at the order
which has prevailed at their elections, at
which, as you sec by the papers, $4,000 or
100000, or 100000 persons voted in a given
State, with less disorder than you have seen
lately in three Of the smallest boroughs in
Engiand-Barnstable, Windsor and Andover.
Laughter and eheers.l Look at their indus
try. Notwithstanding this terrific struggle,
their agriculture, their manufacturers and
commerce proceed with an uninterrupted sue
cess. They are ruled by President chosen,
it is true. not from some worn out royal or
noble blood, but from the people, and the one
whose truthfulness and spotless honor have
claimed him universal praise; and now the
country that has been yilliied through half
the organs of the press in England during the
last three years, and was pointed out, too, as
an example to be Stunned by many of your
statesmen; that country, now in mortal strife
affords a haven and no ne for multitudes
fiying from the burdens and the neglect of the
old Governments Of Europe [cheersl; and
when this mortal strife is over, when peace is
restored, when slavery is destroyed, when the
Union is cemented afresh-for would say in
the language of one of our own poets, adj
dressing his country,
The graves not dug where traitor hands shalllay,
In fearful haste thy murdered eorse away
loud cheers1-then Europe and England
may learn that an instructed democracy is
the surest foundation Of government, and
that education and freedom are the only
sources Of true greatness and true happiness
among any people," Immense cheering.l

CorToN FROM San BERNARDINo. = We
were lately shown sample Of ginned cotton,
grown this year on alkali impregnated bottom
lands, on Frink's Ranch, on the road from
San Bernardino to Gorgonio Pass, some
twenty-five miles from the former place. and
but a little below the high divide, between
the valley of the San Gabriel and the Colora-
do. The cotton shown us, which is from
lot of several bales, was grown from seed
brought from Texas, and although short sta
pie and somewhat harsh to the touch, is
white, stout, of quality which would entitle
it to be classed as " good middling uplands."
Frink states that it was planted in April and
picked in September, and that the plants at
tanned in that dry. elevated locality, without
irrigation, hight of two and half to three
feet. The fruit Of all kinds in that locality
ripens later that at any other point in the
lower country, and the cotton plant could
hardly be expected to grow as fast and as
thriftily as in more favored localilies.-S. +.

THE REBEL STEAMER RAPrAHANNocK.-
Respecting this steamer, whose arrival at
Calais, France, has been announced, the
London Times says: When the Admiralty
sold the Victor (now the Rappahannock) it
was stated that she was intended for the
China trade, and she was ostensibly fitted up
with that view, while her name was changed
to the Scylla, of London. Several suspicious
circumstances, however, occurred, and the
dock-yard officials felt it their duty to make
a report to the Admiralty. The result was
the receipt of an order at Sheerness directing
her to be stopped. The order, however, ar
rived a few hours too late. Those in charge
of the vessel evidently suspected the inten-
tions OF Government and had her taken out
of the harbor few nights since: She i'm
mediately after hoisted the Confederate nag.
She is OF $50 horse power, but owing to some
slight defects in the construction OF the en-
gines and machinery, her rate of steaming
was never very high, which was the principal
reason for the Admiralty directing her to be
sold. A special report has been made to the
Lords of the Admiralty of the circumstances
under which she left Sheerness dockyard.

PRESIDENT or Dictator.

In commenting upon the rebel idea O.
supersediag the Confederate administration
under Davis by a Dictatorship under Lee, the
Sacramento Union says:
The people, at this present writing, don't
exhibit an abiding faith in anybody connected
with the "Confederacy;" they merely exc
crate Davis as the chief engineer of the con-
Germ. Lee probably has more friends than
the " President" The General has the credit
of the victories, but the defeats are laid to the
account of Davis. Would Dictator Lee be
an improvement on President Davis 7
| What the sinking rebellion requires at this
juncture is not skillful leadership in the field,
but men, money, and those resources which
only well-trained statesman can hope to
develop. Could the Dictator secure these
means Of continuing the contest, his appoint
ment might be justified by the circumstances
and might promise a protraction of the
agonies Of Dixie. But Davis has used up the
resources of the South, and exhausted its
credit abroad, in maintaining the unequal
struggle ofthe past three years, and his most
determined foes on the Union side concede
that he has displayed great dexterity in the
employment Of the means at his command.
There is nothing in Lees career to authorize
hope that he would discover resources that
are not apparent to the present chief Of the
insurgents.
The problem to be solved is problem foI
statesman. In deciding all questions of
military management Lees judgment might
be preferred to that Of Davis, but the pecu-
liar business of the politician has never, so
far as the world knows, engaged the atten-
ton of the commander Of the rebel army in
Virginia. The probabilities are that the re-
moyal of the man who has led the "Confed-
eracy" through its fiery trials, and the sub
stitution of a mere soldier, would hasten the
crash of the tottering concern. 1t is good to
hear, however, that the arch enemy of the
American Union rs cxecrated by the people
whom he has betrayed to their ruin. His
overthrow and condemnation by them would
fill the measure of justice so far as this world
is concerned. The Southern people are the
most pitiable victims Of his crime. And
though the execution of that loyal sentence
which consignS Davis to suspension from
sour apple tree would crafty many impa-
tient Unionists, we cannot help thinking that
his punishment in more essentially tragic
fashion by the people who have been so
shamefully deludcd would materially assist
in restoring fraternal feeling, having its
root in a mutual hate Of the chief Of traitors.

The Rebel Press in the SOuth..Hard
Words against the Confederacy.

! BALTIMORE, Jan. 23-Ihe Richmond
Wing Of January 18th says: "Some South
ern papers are apprehensive Of an attack on
Savannah, as a part of the eHemys pro-
gramme on the coast during the winter
| This is caused by a certain recent move
lnent at Hilton Head, which seems to indi-
cate a concentration Of force for that pur-
pose. Another reason for the belief Is that
Savannah would constitute base OF opera
tons against Charleston" !,
North Carolina papers continue to demand
peace.
The Raleigh Progress says: Peace alone
can prevent starvation. II is folly to talk
about their being enough supplies in the
| country. Such is not the fact, and those who
adhere to such a mistake will find their error
when it is too late. Confederate money is
bad enough, but the dearth of provisions is
not caused By the want of confidence in the
currency; it is because producers have no
| thing to bring in. We tell the people and
authorities that the present condition oil
things cannot and will not last. The masses
| of hard working, honest people have been
| deceived long enough, and will not suffer and
endure always. Peace they want. Peace
| they will have-if not upon such terms as
| the leaders who have betrayed them desire,
upon such terms as they themselves shall
/ prescribe. Rich men may nave meat anu
bread, but we tell them it will not remain
with them, unless the poor are provided for.
| Peace, such as statesmen and honest rulers
might obtain, would give us abundance of
all creature comforts, but the continuation Of
the war will rob us Of all social and political
rights, and make the many slaves Of the few.
We believe peace can be made that the
world will consider honorable, and those who
assume to rule ought to take steps to make
it; for enough has been said by the enemy
to satisfy all reasonable men that they would
/ gladly remove the quarrel from the sword
! and refer it to the council chamber"
! Another article says: There is not ano-
I Their man to spare from the industrial pur-
suits of the country and another draft on
this class will be fraught with most diSas-
trous consequences. Congress, we fear, Is
disposed to run to extremes, especially those
members whose States are largely or entirely
IN the hands OF the enemy. Judging the
| future by the past, we cannot say we expect
/ ANYTHING from it. Its members have neither
patriotism nor craftsmanship for the awful
crisis with which they have to deal"

NOMENCLATURE.

Under this head, in the days when the
cases Of Washoe VS.. Nevada, and Bigler VS..
Tahoe were before the people, we adverted at
some length upon the improperly Of naming
counties, lakes, mountains, rivers etc. after
living men. The proposition to create the
new county of Nye brings uus our neighbOr
of the Enterprise in an article Of some
length upon the same subject The editor,
however, takes occasion to animadvert upon
our friend the Governor, in style that we
cannot endorse. We like Gov. Nye; he is
our friend; enough on that point. Tastes
differ and the proverb says that there is no
accounting for the phenomenon. That the
principle involved is badsane, We admit
with the Enterprise. II the rule of naming
after living, fallible men were admissible, we
had as lief have county named after Nye rs
" any other man" 1t may be possible that
our antipathy to the system is based upon
lack Of euphony in our own patronynic, and
that a sort OF dog in the Manager disposition
warps our Judgment. In that matter now
ever, neither 10. Goodman, nor "Dennis"
McCarty have got much the best of us. 1t is
infinitely better to discard the system Of
naming natural objects and localities after
individuals. The aboriginal names, although
not always of that sweetness and euphony
that charms the poetic soul of a Forbes or
Sherman, have the merit of originality and
diStiuctiveness. Had we boy to name, we
had as soon give hj,n that of our respected
Governor as any that we know of, and would
be glad to have him grow up TO as worthy
and excellent manhood as his nalnesake, but
let us have no more of this Misunderstanding
christening of mountains, lakes, rivers,
counties etc. California shut down on it
at an early day, and We would do we'll to fol-
low her example.

A NOVEL SIGHT.-Yarious projects have
been suggested with the view of effecting
more speedy conveyance Of letters and par
GELS between England and France. A sub
marine tunnel, similar to that under the
Thames, has been proposed, and seriously
considered. A pneumatic telegraph has also
been proposed. The latest, however, is the
proposition to erect in both countries, at
distance of about one thousand metres from
the coast of Calais and Dover, strong edi-
fee of masonry, containing steam engine
of sufficient power, by means of which an
immense wheel, twenty-five metres in diam
eter, is made to turn forty times minute.
By this rotation series OF wires, forming a
gigantic strap, extending across the channel,
is coiled round the wheel at one end, say ut
Dover, and uneoiled at the other, Calais, and
conversely. To this strap India-rnbber bags
are to be attached, so that, within the short
space of only twelve minutes, the letters and
dispatches Of one country may be safely
landed in the other.

A Observation-Disclosures Lincoln, says
the Illinois State Journal, has made prac-
tical beginning in the direction indicated by
his amnesty proclamation, by pardoning
Gen. E. W. CAN'T, repentant rebel Of Ar
kansas, whose address to the people Of that
State has recently been extensively publish
ed. General CAN'T is reinstated in all his
rights of citizenship and property except
those relating to slaves. This case will
serve to convince rebels who are sick Of Sc
cession, of the merciful disposition Of the
President toward them, and induce thou
sands to accept the terms rendered by the
late proclamation. ~ -
