House Of Representatives, on the 25th ult, Hon.
Fernando Wood delivereda speech in opposition to
resolution explanatory of the con6scation act
His concluding remarks are reported as follows:
The Administrations and the party in power were
opposed to the restoration of the Union, and deAir
ed continuance Of the Wat BY which to accouplisb
designs Of partisan advantage. The ruling elements
were hnaticism and corruption. Thus The war is
sustained. Under the plea Of patriotism the most
damnable deeds were being perpetrated This war
must cease. It was commenced without cause. and
has been prosecuted without glory, and will end in
national impoverishment, dsintegration, and ruin
Those who favored the war favored disnnion. Peace
is the only hope Of restoration. It idle TO- talk
Of the policies of the war. It made no difference
Whist were the policies The result would be the
subversion of republican institutions and utter de-
struction. He was opposed to the conduct Of the
South, but was equally opposed to the. conduct Of
were for dissolution. Let w. therefore, attempt
peacesble solution Of the difficulty. Peace must
come sooner or later. Why not procure it before
both sections we're exhausted and all their material
interests destroyed Mr.. Wood appealed earnestly
to the boosted spirit of Christian civilization Of
of progress and Of common humanity to throw
itself into the arena and save the American people,
Peace peace! God Of our fathers, grant us peace!
Peace in our hearts-at thine affairs, peace,
Peace in the red waters and their bliKhed shores;
= Peace for the lesguered cities and the hosts
Peace for the homeless and the fatherless;
Peace for the captive 90 his weary way,
And the rude crowd who jeer his hslplesspess

Portrait of Gen. Grant.

We made note last fall of the arrival
ola Chicago artist, Mr.. Autrobu7, in our
city, on bis way to Chattanooga, to take
a portrait of Gen. Grant. The Chicago
Journal of the 10th inst has the follow
ing remarks on the subject:
This gentleman, as most of our readers
may remember, was dtputed by COM
mittee of Chicago citizens to 20 to Chat
tanooga, in the fall of last year, and
make portrait of Major-General Grant.
Ever since his return be has devoted him
self mainly to this employment, and the
result is one Of the grandest historical
paintings, which, TO say the least of it,
has ever emanated from any Western stu
diO. The picture is life-size, and the
brave General is represented as making
an inspection of the enemy's movements,
with q field glass in his left hand, which
is entirely nude, and his right hand,
which is covered with a gauntlet, resting
upon one end of q broken rebel cannon,
whilst the stars. and stripes are wrapped
round the sienced muzzle. To the left
is a dim representation of the Generals
cream colored horse. "0ld Jack" which
is in charge of an Orderly. In the back
ground is = portrait of Lookout Noun
tain and the Missionary Ridge-the whole
locality being an exact picture of the
scenery which prevails there.

BY the late news from Europe We learn
that Louis kossuth has again turned on
in belligesent attitude. A proclamation
has been issued in his name, through
the National Committee, 70 the people Of
Hungary, which Il is said has caused
considerable excitement in Vienna. He
says that the fidelity of the flag of IS49
still survives in the heart Of The nation,
and the great majority of the people are
determined TO shake off the Austrian
yoke. He thinks the new turn Of
European events offers the prospects of
full premise TO all the peoples who grOan
under = foreign yoke, and The Magyara
must be prepared TO seize energetically
the favorable opportunity. A general
Committee of Independence has been
constituted, and KOssuth has been rein
stated in his old position of Governor of
Hungary.
This is another and an unexpected
speck Of war, which may add freshen-
ing breeze to the already kindling EN-
bers in other parts Of Europe. The
Prose-, Of Vienns, says there is danger
in the present epoch of Austrian affairs,
and that the storm threatens them in all
directions.
The same news also furnishes the in
telligence that General Garibaldi has re-
signed bis seat as a Deputy in the Italian
Parliament He states as the reason for
his action that the Parliament has, by
the votes Of one hundred and twenty
zine Of the Deputies, sold the Italian soil,
and that now, when he succeeding the
sale Of Nice the shame Of Italy, he can
not longer remain ia the assembly with
men who blindly tear ssundeF the limbs
Of the country they were called upon to
reconstruct. He adds that there is moth
ing in bis resignation which will prevent
him from finding himself with the peo-
pie in arms on the road to Rome and
Venice. Exactly what the merits of the
difficulties are, We sre not informed By
the news; but as fact, and as an item
Of intelligence, it may have important
bearing on the present complication Of
affairs in Europe.
Garibadi is q man Of note in Italy
and representative man among the peo-
pie, and as action is most likely TO follow
hrs words when be speaks Of war, his sig
niiicant sllusion { arms shows that there
is trouble of some kind brewing in Italy,
which may lead to AID swell the general |
currentnow setting in towards 3 general
war in Europe.
What, with the Polish insurrection, the |
Hungarian rising, the Holstein difficulty |
and the Italian troubles, it is highly |
probable that the European people gen
orally viii get into war fever which will |
make terrific trembling among the dry
bones of the dynasties, old and new, in
Europe. Every succeeding arrival of
news from Europe shows that there was
a pressing cause for Napoleon's idea of
a Peace Congress of the sovereigns to
effect : mutual understanding among
themselves, which should give protection
aud stability TO their thrones and render
an uprising of the people easily put down
by mutual and concerted action between
the rulers of the nations of Europe.

The Boston correspondent Of the New

pliment to Mrs. Hattie Bernard, the most
popular stock actress that ever appeared
on the Nashville boards:
The fscinating Hattie Bernard still
shines as one of the bright luminaries of
the Howard Theatre, appearing last night
as Sally Scraggs, in the play of "Sketoh-
es in India" There are few better than
Mrs B. in her particular line of charac-
ters. She is fine vocalist, makes up
well, and seems TO be perfectly at home
in any part which she assumes.
The Howard company was TO open in
Portland, Maine, on Monday last and
play an engagement of couple of weeks.

city.
have svailed myself of the oppor-
tunity of taking course Of instruction in
this labor saving science, and though my
official engagements prevented my regular
attention, yet am perfectly astOnished
with the progress I have made in so short
a time. Eight or ten lessons includes all
the instruction l have received, and by
which have been enabled to master the
principles, read and write it, with ease
and readiness. The admirable adapta-
ton Of this science to the requirements
of the people in this age of railroads and
telegraphs, must commend itself to the
attention Of every rejecting mind. I
hesitate not to say, that Mr.. DIS expert
encs is such IS to enable him to impart
its principles to the comprehension Of any
ordinary mind, in the remarkably short
period of few hours. I am further pre-
pared to assert that if the practical utility
of this remarkable invention was pro-
perly appreciated, no friend of progress
and improvement, would be 50 unnind-
full Of bis duty 70 himself and others, as
to neglect any opportunity to avail him
