The address Of the Mozart Democracy--else-
where to be read-is a general non-commttal
document, lightly commencing the President,
and taking particular pains not to commend the
Albany nominations. The address urges upon
the people of the city to unite, remedy many OF
our local evils by defeat of bad men, and war
upon corruption and proaigacy. The paragraph
emphasizing this doctrine is clear and bold. We
trust Mozart will be true to her pledges.

Our military authorities in Richmond have
stopped another paper. The offensive article
was rather more snobbish than diSloyal, and
will be now read by a hundred people where
one would have read it a week ago. The result
will be that an abject apology will be written
and the paper started again with an immense
addition to its subscription list. The best way
to advertise paper is to stop it. A miserable
sheet printed in Petersburg and almost dead
from sheer inanition contrved to be suppressed
and at once became powerful and widely
circulated journal. Aylett (the unpardoned
had his newspaper stopped also. and at once
jumped into immense patronage. The " neal
thv" loyalists of the South have their own way
of showing their appreciation of suppressed
newspapers This recent action is worth twenty
thousand dollars cash down to the journal ID
question. 1t is singular how often wise and
crafty soldiers manage to do stupid things

The speech Of Gov. Perry; published
in yesterdays papeH is rather a plain
| statement of the substanceofh his inter.
view with, the President, of their au-
Etual views touching affairs, than a
speech. It will be soen that they both
indicate radical changes in the Consti-
tuition of the State; and for this we
were prepared. The greahehange in
orr affairs, the overthrow Of negro
slavery, the necessity for radical alte-
zations i'll our domestic policy, for the
introduction of large bodies OF foreign
emigrants, for the encouragement of
manufactures, mechanics, thorough
tillage, and every form of industry,
will render these changes Of but little.
Importance to any party. But the
whole matter will be contitlcd to the
Convention, and VIC trust that they
will bring the necessary Wit, wisdom
and virtue to the task. It will he seen
from this speech that Governor Perry
claims u full authorization from the
President for all that he has done and
purposes doing. We are told by a.
late member of the State Legislature,
that if there be any discrepancy be-
tween the State and military authori-
ties of South Carolina, it has arisen
wholly from the fact that Gen. Gill
more has received no Official instr1c-
ton, requiring from him the recogni-
ton of the Provisional Governor. IF
this be so-but, in any way-it should
be easy to obviate all difficulties, ifany,
by Il timely reference to the Pro sident.
The reader is also referred to the SEN
siblc view OF his position, as taken by
Maj. Con. Thomas, Acting Military
Governor in Tennessee, and contained

y BALLOON DUEL. Perhaps tue mes

A SHREwD RASC.L. The following
anccdote Is related as having recently
occurred iii Paris:
A we'll known actress 1T one oi the
Imperial theatres, on returning home
late at night. found the door Of hcr
apartment forced open, and, on enter
ing, she met Ii man, who exclaimed:
"Mada,ne. you arrive very opportane-
ly.. / oaa one Of rour neighboIs, and
having heard strange noise in yor.r
apartment, / was coming down to as
certain the cause, when i saw i man

your effects in the state. YOU see the,a.
The artist looHedTonnd, aud perceived
that her drawers and boxes had been
broken open, and that from one OF
them 81 splendid valuable diamond
cross had been taken. She then asked
the st1angcr'if he would be able to
recognize the thief. and, ::s.!lc, rcpl:..I

''hcre is a Napoleon; SO leave your

with seeming reluctance, and hastily
departed, having succeeded not. only
III robbing the lady, but in obtaining
%rewarl to catch the thief. OF course,
he has not been seen since.

Gently published abroad, we get some
interesting particulars. 1t appears
among other things that, though poor
ClaIe had expressed wish to sleep, in
the churchyard of his native village,
and the Superintendent of The North

Earl F'itzwilliam, asking fora grant Of
the small suIl necessary to carry the

refusal, advising thoa burial OF the

Fortunately, some Christian souls did
raise the requisite burial fund, and
the poets body having been conveyed
to Helpstone, was Inferred there on
the 25th of May, last year. 1t is also
alleged that Earl Fitzwilliam. who
seems to have taken Clare undnr his

Gen. Lee, it is understood, is now
engaged in writing a history Of his
own campaigns during the late civil
war. We could wish that he would
extend his plan, and make his work
an autobiography. His own life may
well be blended with his narrative,
and should form part OF it, especially
if he should propose only Il history
of his own campaigns. We trust that
his chief officers will each make his
contribution to this history, and
superscde all the thousand catch
pennies of the press, which threaten
to inundate us with false facts, false
continents, false philosophy, and
fudge and fustian in general.

compressed by :; sort of spring, and
his eyes protected by a p:,ir Of spccta
