SIAN. And Rome sunk 0Ack upon Der
luxurious pillows, and the wings Of Peace
famed her into voluptuous rsposc. =
would have seemed very odd indeed 70 I
Roman Of that day, with his cou1tr1s
foot on the neck of the world, to imaginc
that Rome would be ever ruined and
conquered.
We know that the English are Havc,
and we have heard often enough yshat
they will make heroic defence when
their time comes. This is no more than
the world has right to expect. The
Confederacy, which has been. furnishing
gladiatorial display for Edgland's en-
tertainment for the last four years, is
also brave, and her courage has given
the English spectators special satisfac-
ton. Fighting, bleeding, dying, sword
in hand, and with smile Of stern def.
ance upon their lips, the conduct of our
Confederate gladiators has drawn down
Bravo after Bravo, and Encore after En-
core, from all parts of the amphitheatre
VIC have right then to insist that, when
England's turn comes, we shall not be
swindled. We confess that we are not
without some misgivings on the subject.
Sidney Smith once said: "As for the
spirit of the peasantry, in making gal
liant defence behind hedge-rows and
through plate-racks and hen coops, high
ly as think Of their bravery, l do not
know any nation in Europe so likely to
be struck with panic as the English; and
this from their total unacquaintance with
the science OF war. Old wheat and beans
blazing for twenty miles round; cart
mares shot; sows of Lord Somerville's
breed running wild over the country;
the minister of the place wounded solely
in his hinder parts; all these scenes of
war an Austrian or a Russian has seen
three or four times over; but it is now
three centuries since an English pig has
fallen in q fair battle upon English
ground. The old edition of Plutarch's
Lives, which lies in the corner of
your parlor window, has contributed to
work you up to the most romantic ex-
pectations of our Roman behavior. You
are persuaded that Lord Amherst will
defend Kew Bridge like Coelas, and some
maid of honor break away from her cap
tivity and swim over the Thames. L
hope we shall witness all this, if the
French do come; but in the meantime,
Fam SO enchanted with the ordinary
English behavior Of these invaluable pcr.
sons that earnestly pray no opportunity |
may be given them for Roman valor, and
for those very un-Roman pensions which |
they would all, Of course, take especial
care to claim in consequence.
If tho Rev. Sidney Smith is true
prophet, we shall never have half the |
fun out of England that she has had out
Of the Confederacy. Medicated with the
drugs Of long peace, she will not be
able to make even respectable fight
when the long, dead hull of three ccntu-
rics generates the tornado.

Denmark or Norway. He finds there
. very gluttonous and animal people, but
not superior knowledge and refine
ment. The Northern States of this
Union have, indeed, civilization, which
consists in the application of mechanical
discoveries to the increase of individual
gain; but the progress Of this war has de-
veloped latent barbarism only equalled
by that of Russia. It is true, the ma
terial and national progress of the United
States, up to 1861, was prodigious, if
not unparalleled; but it was under a
Southern leader that she achieved her
Independence, and under long line of
Southern Presidents and Southern States
men that she rose to greatness and pros.
perity. If she wants to make a fair
experiment of the capabilities of North
ern and Southern races, let her with.
draw her armies, acknowledge our indie
pendence, and see what the result will
be at the end of the century. Even in
our tributary condition under the old
Government, we produced the greatest
of its political and military leaders, and
supplied by our industry three fourths
of it's revenue. Let us see what we can
do when we set up for ourselves! 1t is
the dread of that result, that, with all
its vain glorious confidence in the supe,
riority of Northern energies, induces a
Northern journal to declare that not for
Canada, nor Mexico, nor all America be-
side, would it permit the South to go.

The benevolent SOlicitudc of the manu-

The benevolent solicitude of the manu-,
featuring and commercial men of Eng
land, for the continuance Of the war in
America, which was so agreeably re-
lieved by intelligence OF the successful
resistance of Fort Fisher to Admiral
Porter's first assault, must be once more
painfully excited by the subsequent in
telligence. The fall of Fort Fisher will
be aggravated by the first news of the
coming Of Peace Commission to Fort>
ress Monroe. We could not wish our
worst enemy more bitter pangs than
those which are, perchance, while we
write, torturing the hearts of the mer-
chant princes of London and the lords of
the loom in Manchester. War, with all
its blessings, AS to English commerce
and manufactures is threatening to re,
cede from the western horizon, and
Peace, with all its horrors. darkening the
sky. The probability that hundred
thousand men will not be killed in Anne
RIGA this year, and hundred thousand
homes clothed in mourning, is enough to
break their benevolent hearts. We
doubt whether Palmcrston or Russell
will sleep wink from the time they
hear that a Peace Commission has started
from Richmond till they learn that it
has ended in a perfect failure. What
would become of them if every two
weeks they could not announce that
Her Majesty's Government sees no
reason to depart from the course of rigid
neutrality which it marked out for itself
at the beginning of these unhappy diff.
ferences, and that the time for interven-
ton has not yet arrived"?
We envy them the exquisite relief Of
their agoniziug suspense which the next
steamer from America will bring. Per-
haps, some day, the rest of the world
will be permitted to indulge like phi.
lanthropical satisfaction over affairs in
England. We know it is improbable at
present; but stranger things have hap
pened. The English cannot imagine
that England will ever be ruined and
conquered, and for no other reasons, as
one Of their wittiest writer's has said, but |
because it seems SO very odd it should
be ruined and conquered. Austrians,
Russians and Ryassians have had the
same conceit, and had it taken out of
them. England has now enjoyed more
than the usual allowance of peace. A
period has elapsed, since she was dis
turbed by internal war, as long as that
which Rome enjoyed after the battle of
Actium. For three hundred years after
that event Rome was as solid and undis-
turbed as the cornerstone of granite
monument. The tempests Of war only
ragged on the remote limits Of the mighty
empire; the Roman spear and shield
were unseen in the streets of the
" Eternal City," except in the gay pa
seantries Of triumph. On one occasion,
when gust Of alarm, out Of all pro.
portion to the cause, was raised by an
nsurrection in the East, "Hush, ye pal

this popular demonstration, we ascertained
that the proprietors, with their accustomed

throng, nearly every ono having something

The money market for the last few days
has been moderately easy. There is little
disposition among our Bankers to extend
their lines of discount, Notwithstanding the
deposits are somewhat increased since our
last report. Strictly first-elass names are
discounted at l2c@14c. for short time. Long
loans are avoided altogether. The gold
market has been firm for the past week, at
an advance of about one per cent. Our
national securities. in face of the favorable
foreign ai,ioes, . -222's are sailing in Lon
don at Gi54@65. Latest advices reports a
decline of one per cent. There was time
when American Securities sold in the Lon
don market at premium of six above gold.
Now they are 35c@40c below. The eternal
man and brother policy Of the party in
power, Is not looked on in favorable light
financially in foreign countries.

HASH.

"A. Ward said Chat he preferred hash,
because he then always knew what he was
eating.
He was joking, of course, because who,
ever,-in boarding-house-knew what he
was eating, in hash?
-Fellows-lusty fellows, in market-cry,
''cheap meat, for boarders"-and then all
the strange cats disappear about boarding
houses-on their first appearance.
Cold meets, left from breakfast, get up
nice hash-hash--and soft boarders are full
of it, in their gab-their mouths show it.
i saw a Christmas tree standing in the
middle of the pavement Saturday night
Folks walked Into the gutter to get round
it. .,.
Sunday morning it had gone into the
hash-tub and was down. Babylon had
fallen.
The proprietors Of this forbidden tree

When banker after hash, always read

Its not healthy to get things too fresh.
If they have been "chawed" over two or
three times, it is more easily digested.
Then dry hash is always good-the
dryer the better.
Its cheap thing to ill a local column
with. 1t don't hurt the Reeder and pays
the landlord.
When I'm in Cincinnati, always go to
Pixies Opera House. Not being able to
either see or hear any thing there, find a
good dish of hash in it.
Turner'S Opera House is something
new and, If it is not overpOwered with the
cold meats of the Journal, will have to de-
pend on the bad acting for the familiar hash
which it is likely to be comforted with

CHICAGO, Deoember2 -.
A terrible case of sulfocation from gas
occurred at the Bremen Hotel, No. l37
Lake street, on Saturday night, resulting in
the death of five men, aud perhaps six.
They all slept in the same room, aud IT is
supposed that after retiring the cap of the
gas-pipe, which was merely stuck on with
wax, fell of, allowing the gas, under full
pressure to enter the room.
Five of the men were found dead yester-
day morning. Another was still alive last
night, but insensible.
