Free speech or free press. The French
newspapers, if they can be called SO, are
like Figsro's Journal hutjle, which was
TO be published in Madrid, and which
was to contain no allusion ito the au.
,horties, to religion. politics, morals,
people IN place, constituted bodies, the
opera, public entertainments, or any
thing whatever -
But Notwithstanding all these disabili-
ties, there has been popular triumph,
and every such triumph enures to the
advantage of this country. Louis Ma
poleon will see that he cannot embark in
war with the United States, and will
not be needless of the intimation that
home matters requires his attention. If
we turn to John Bull, the instructions
in New Zealand and Hindostan, the Jap
anese troubles, and her dependence on
this country for food, will deprive Great
Britain Of the wish TO interfere in our af
fairs. The Schleswig Holstein imbrog-
lio, the Polish outbreak, the Italian
movements, the attack of Hungary, and
the like, will prevent all the countries of
Europe from mixing in the rebellion
which is existing here. The dark cloud
of foreign intervention, which seemed so
long TO hover portentously y over US. has
happily passed away. We have now no.
thing to do but to settle this rebellion in
our own time, and in our way. If we
do not settle it in accordance with the
great principles Of the equality of nat
ural and inalieDable rights enunciated in
our Declaration of Independence, an
eternal stigma and disgrace will rest up
on us. When peace is consumated the
national joy and gladness should be uni
versal and every color and complexion
should alike exult in the possession of a
freedom one and indivisible-equal and
eternal.

been found competent to set forth the
problem OF the rebel dilemma We find
il in twenty propositions. which are bas-
ed upon the leading opinions of North
and South, and brought into phalanx by
leading cotomporary. Each proposi-
ton establishes quandary and though
the rebellion may be a powerful fact, it
is at least logical impossibility

There Comes a Time.

There comes time when we grow old,
And like a sunset down the sea
Slope gradual, and the night wind cold
Comes whispering sad and cheeringly
And locks are gray
As winters day,
And eyes of saddest blue behold
The leaves of all weary drift away,
. And lips offaded coral say,
There comes time when we grow old.
There comes time when Joyous hearts.
Which leaps as leaps the laughing main
Are dead to nllsave memory,
As prisoner in his dungeon chain;
And dawn of day
Hath passed away,
The moon hath into darkness rolled,
And by the embers wan and gray,
! heard voice in whisper say,
There comes q time when we grow old.
There comes time when manhood's prime
Is shrouded in the mist of years,
And beauty. fading like dream,
Hath passed away in silent tears
And then how dark
But oh the spark
That kindled youth to hues of gold,
Still burr with clear and steady ray,
And fond affections. lingering, say
There comes q time when We grow old
There comes time when laughing spring
And golden summer cease to be,
And we put on autumn robe,
To tread the last declivity
But now the slope,
With rosy hope,
Bcyond the sunset " . leLnli
Another dawn with fairer light,
While watchers whisper through the night
There is a time when we shall not grow old

oIf the rebels wish to stay the hand Of the
destroyer, they have only 20 stop fighting and
return to their allegiance. IL they persist in
the war, they must take the consequences,
which must be death aud devastation. As
General Sherman remarked war is cruel and
it cannot be refined To stop the cruelty the
war must be stopped, and until the rebels
submit the cruelty must continue. Perhaps
they will be persst until the whole South is
laid waste as the Shenandoah Valley has been
devastated. This may be the design of Prov
idence. We hope not; but better this; better
the destruction Of the people of the South;
better hardships in the North such as we have
not yet suffered, or even considered possible;
better all these trials than the destruction OF
the Government The preservation Of the
latter aud iva establishment upon basis that
can never again be disturbed by civil opposi.

The people Of Baltimore have had to en-
dure, since the beginning of this war, an
amount of insult, petty dsspotism, plundering
and persecution, which has hardly any paral-
lei in the history of the world They have
been subjected TO the dominion of line OF
satraps, distinguished for nothing but coWar-
dice aud imbeeility in the field, and avariee

was hoped that nobody could be found quite
