TE EE LAST DAY.

During our comparatively brief caree
on earth several last days" have beer
announced. Miller Of The Miltrues beins
conspicuous among the prophets Of the
approaching judgment. II it he true. rs
the Scriptures assert Of the second com
ing" that "the day and the hour no man
knoweth." and its approach will be hiden
even from the angels. but little faith can
be placed in the predictions of the seers
who cry "Lo! here" and "Lo! there" in
our midst.
Among the latest Of the latter day
prophets is Capt. Baker, an officer of the
Royal Bombay Engineer Without
any Of the usual eccentricies Of crack
Drained men. Capt. Baker is a careful,
calculating student, and deep melhod.
ical thinker. He has jnst published
work in England entitled, "The Day and
the Hour, or Notes of Prophecy; Sketch
of the Future extracted from ihe Bible. "
His calculation are all made on Scripture
data, but bis conclusions are, of course,
his own. In his strange faith the Cap
tain has strewn the near future with test
predictions which will sink him within
the short space of three years, into the
position Of literary charlatsn, or raise
him to the proud position of a second

who is to come. The new Interpreter
binds himself down to days and dates.

WAR BETWEEN SPAIN AND CHIaI.

The Ocean Queen at New York brings
Panama advices to October 81. War
has been declared between Spain and
Chill. and all the ports of the latter de-
clared by Admiral Pazzi commander Of
the Spanish squadron. blockaded since
the Gath. ten days being allowed for
vessels then in the ports to clear. The
ChiIliau Congress has authorized a loan
Of 500. 900. 900, and the Executive in.
vested with unlimited power to raise
troops, procure ships. etc. The dipIo-
matte corps in Chill protest emphaically
against he mode of blockade, the Ad-
mfral proposing 10 maintain it by means
OF cruisers. The panic occasioned By he
sudden rupture is unprecedented. Ia
Chill business is greatly prostrsted. The
English line Of steamers between Pansma
and Valparaiso receive no passengers or
freight for any point south of Bolivia.
II is believed the mail carried Oy the
steamers will be received at Cobjia by
an English gunboat and conveyed along
he Chiian coast.
The United States sloop of war, St.
Mary was at Valparaiso. Disaftecion ia
arising among the revolutionists in Peru,
with prospect Of all parties binding to.

The Constitutional Amendment.

The Legislature will be called upon t,
to pass upon the so. called "Consttuion
al amendment" That amendment is &
misnomer. L. ought to be called the
Constitutional abroga,ion." 1t is a Gun
ming and covert attack of he Radicals
upon the essence of the State Rights
| principle. 1t needs no further words in
or out Of the Constitution TO declare the
doom and death of slavery. 1t is as
dead as Julius Caesar, and would not be
changed, il the fact was written all over
the Constitution. 1t is a sham pretexl
this amendment, pretending to one thing
that is not needed. and doing another
which slinks rank heresy in the nostrils of
every Democrat and State Rights man
The amendment as expounded BY the
Summers and Wilson's, clothes the FEEDER
al Congress with power over the black
code in the States 1t is crooked By
path to Federal intermedilng with 10
cal police jurisdiction. Il would give to
Congress the power to do in Mississippi
what Connecticut and Colorado have Ie
fused to allow TO be done in our borders
open the polls TO negro suffrage. J.
would etifle the voices of CoDnec icut
and Colorado on the question as well.
Tke war, God knows. has made 10
roads enough upon the constitution Of the
fathers. There must be a stop some
where and soon. The enemies OF self
government must be arrested in their dia-
bolical work Of abroga,ing the consttu
ton and replacing il with their higher
law isms. propounded by the worst of
tyrannies--jhst of numerical MAORI
ty. unrestrained by written organic law.
This amendment il adopted. will he as
dangerous as a neglected crevasse on the
Mississippi river. submerging the rights
OF the States aud liberties Of the people
in one gulf Of conceD,rslizstion. Ii the
Radicals ever succeed in that, we had
better go to Brazil. or TO some country
where there never was "Pilgrim's
Rock" or a "Mayflower" to scatter the
seeds Of political poison over the land.

The CONFEDERATE ADJUrANr GENERAL
CooPKR.--A letter to the N. Y. Herald.
dated Richmond, Nov. 8. says:
General s. Cooper. Adjutant General
Of the late rebel armies. and the senior
Major General in that service, who has
not been heard from since the downfall
Of the rebel government. has at last sp.
peared On the surface. On the svacua-
ton Of Richmond he at once repaired to
his old Virginia residence. in Mecklen
burg county, where be has ever since
been leading the very quietest of lives.
This morning his application for pardon
reached Major General Terry. BY whom
it will. this evening. be forwarded to
Washington. Owing to the fact that
Cooper was an officer Of the old army.
and held high rank and station in the
Confederate Government, will not, under
the rule, induce an early pardon at the
hands Of the Executive. Gen. Cooper is
already well advanced 10 years, and am
told that bis health is good and his tacul
ties unimpaired. He long hesitsted
about applying for pardon. As be alleges.
upon principle; and now that he has ask.
ed it. the impression prevails here that
be has finally consented. in all honor and
sincerity. TO return to the National fold. III
