Austria and the United States

On the 9th of April last Mr.. Sew
ard instructed Mr.. Motley to protest
against the sending of Austrian rein
fo' cements to Macmillan
1t is thought proper that you
should state that, in the event of hos
tilities being carried on hereafter in
Mexico by Austrian subjects under
tie command or with the sanction of
the government OF Vienna, the Uni
ted States will feel themselves at lib
erty TO regard those hostilitics as con-
shutting state of war 10y Austria
against the republic OF Mexico, and in
regard to such war, waged ut this
time aud under existing circumstances,
tie United States could not engage to
remain as silent or neutaal spectators.
The CeJd brings news to-day that q
detachment of Austrian troops, des-
tined for Mexico, had been disbanded
aud sent home, in consequence of n
gorous protest made by Mr.. Motley
under these Instructions. The Berlin
correspondent Of the London Iimes

Prentice on Brownlow.

Old Brown!ow was never in but
one place where he deserved to be,
and that was the rebel prison. If he
has any more lying to do, perhaps he
had better make haste to do it III this
world, as he will get his pens and pa
per scorched and his ink boiled away
in the next He has chronic di-
arrhna Of lies. He could no more
breathe an air untitled with his own
lies and curses than one without ly-
drogen or oxygen. If he were OF the
earth it would compare much more
favorably than It does with its sister
planets. He is no wrter-simply a
brawler, bawler, he-vixen, male
is OF the class Of ''conm6a scoldsr
who. by the old law of Great Britain,
were ducked in horse ponds. He il a
vilifier, traduccr, a culniinator of
men, women an children No excel
lence, no purity, no helplessness is n
protection against his venomous as
saults. He aims his vengeance alike
ut the living and thedcad His venom
seeks through the cold sands of the
grave to find its victim. A buried
body is no more safe from him than
from other gra,e-worms. II have
lost day" said the good Roman En-
peror, when he remembered to have
done no good deed. / have lost a
minute, Brownow might say, if he
remembered ho malignant thing. -
His heart aud life blacken, as his old
head .whitens, Ills fathers hoof is
split the sons ears, nose, and tongue
should be. He deserves 10 be kicked
until, like the lit he is going 10, he is
"bottoniless."
Brownlow has all the worst quail
ties of the devil, but the latter, if he
has any redeen,ing qualities, is, in
comparison with the .'Parson,"
Christian gentleman. Brownlow is
rattlesnnke, with his ratiles at the
wrong end of him. He is a hog, with
the kink in his head instead of his
tail If bsyoncts bIistle ut him ne
can turn the back of his neck and
brst.e back with interest. We have
around him until he is a ground hog
We have hedgel him until he is
hedgehog. lie is IL small man, but
great swine he may lie rich man
hut h. is a poor devil He is u por-
cupine rolled up the wrong way"
thus pricking himself to death with
his own quills. The more he writes
the flatter he gets, just as an adder's
head flattens as he becomes furious.
If hi, heart were not n sa.amander it
would long since have been consumed
by the hell-fire in his bosom. - Loas-

Missouri s it is Coming.

A correspondent who has recently
made business trip through many Of
the interior counties of Missouri, is
surprised aud amazed at tho repulity
with which the Radical party of that
State is going tn pieces. He says the
desertions from it's ranks may be num-
bered by hundreds and thousands. =.
The reasons therefor he thus states in
letter to the St Louis RepuJiimn:
"There are many reasons for this
great and desirable change, chief
among which are the outrageous char
actcr of many of the provisions of the
new constitution, the inhuman anil
disgraceful persecution Of ministers of
the gospel, the arrest aud unlawful
imprisonment of teachers, tile Wild
and wasteiul extravngancc Of the
party in power, saddliDg upn the
people load of taxation which they
can i'll afford to bear and under when
they are fairly groaning, aud the un-
holy, fanaticai and suicidal course of
the majority in Congress. These and
many other reasons have opprated
upon the minds of the reople until
they have Determined to have a

The FEyIANs = The New York Sm
learns that the arrival of Stephens,
Head Centre, or Central figure Of the
Fenian Government. has rather wi
dened than healed the breach between
the two antagonistic parties, as the
Chief makes an open issue with the
Roberts-SweeDy party, and seems to
go on in business ON his own account,
and says the FeniaDs are asking each
what theyhave gained by exchanging
O'Mahony for Stephens. 1t is said
that the English Government is regu-
larly supplied with the official secrets
of the Fenian headquarters. Cores
pondence is published showing the
progress of the recent ottempt 10 rec
oncilethe two factions of Fenians. -
Colonel Halpins is intermediatory,
and Colonel O'Mahony was the first
to make overfures. Roberts and
Sweeny were both sucsessiyely ap-
pealed to in pressing terms. 1be for,
mer declined to treat with Colonel
Halpine, and tho latter was unwilling
to give up his plan for establishing a
base of operations in Canada. =

that two boats, loaded It is supposed
with Fcnians, effected a landing ON

rounds Of shot were exchanged. The

sixth section of the supplementary
pension act of July 1864, provides
that III every cause in which claim

minor children, after the death or re-
marriage Of the widow, without hav-
ing received a pension, have filed
claim more than three years, after
death of the father, but less than
three years after they were first en-
listed TO make u claim under the law.
The Commiss oner decides in all such
Eases that the law does not apply,

The GovERHMENT PArRosAoE.--The
Radical faction in Congress find much
fault with the President because he
chooses to surround himself with his
own friends, and confide the execution
of his policy TO those who -bslieva in
its wisdom and justice-in short, to
fill the public Offices with johnson
Republicans instead Of the adherents
of the Northern section Of the rebel.
lion-and are endeavoring to deprive
him of this constitutional right by
rejecting his nominations. and BY un-
constitutional Legislative enactnents.
How long has this Radical faction
been converts to the doctrine that the
President has no constitutional power
to remove from Office without the con-
sent of the Senate? Did they enter
tain such constitutional scruples during
the administration of President Lin
coin (? A more ruthless and sweeping
prescription was never carried on, by
any Administration than during that
of the late President. Every demo-
crat was prescribed and removed from
Office, Notwithstanding the fact that
he supported the war for the restora-
tion of tho Union, with as much zeal
and fidelity as the Abolition faction
who contributed Sd much to bring that
terrible calamity upon the country.7
To-day, we do not know Of Demo-
ciat who holds Office who could be
reached by the appointing power. AL
,wero reunorselessly prescribed and re-
moved under the Lincoln administra-
ton. They were not only removed
during the recess of Congress. but
also during its session, without the
consent or knowledge of the Senate.
Then the Trun,bulls, the Wades, the
summers, : the Wilson's aud their COM
rades in hostility to tho President, did
not dream of a violated Constitution,
and of an insulted Senate while, DEM
ocrats were being prescribed and bro't
to the block. .h.irlus p ii.ali9f -aAl~
Vi These men forget that they are to
be Judged 10y the same rules OF injus-
tice by which they Judge others
They forget consistency. They seem
to forget that they are acting III tie
presence of the American people, and
in the sterner presence Of history
Hence they seem not to consider that
it is at all necessary for them to govern
themselves by principle, nor to be con-
sistent with their own former profes-
sions and actions. They seem to be
intent only uron the objects Of faction,
and the preservation of party, at the
expense of consistency, principle, aud
country. The people are Watching
them, and will Judge them with severe
aud unerring justice. -Boston I'ost.

The Radicals and the Bastile.


The radicals wero in great state
OF excitement a few weeks ago lest tho
President should surprise them some
fine morning with a coup a. stat and
send them all to the guard -houss.--
Their principal fear now is that moth.
ing of the kind will be done. The
Irishnan, at Donny brook, was not
more anxious for somebody to tread
on his coat-tail than the Sumner and
Stevens radicals now are for some
thing in the shape Of an arrest -
They see through it q certain road to
Immortality and dime funds, not 9TH
erwiss attainable. Mr.. Wilson, few
evenings since, addressing crowd of
colored citizens in Baltimore, said -
"The President may imprison us, and
governors may arrest US, but the God
of Truth and Justice will be with us. !"
Nothing SO touching had been heard
by the audience since those Of them
who used to go to Sunday school were
taught to read, that though their
father and mother forsake thenl,"
they would still be taken care Of for
all that. Now, isn't it almost time for
such men as Wilson to quit silly nom
sense like this DO they expect the
public to believe that they are in dan
ger Of " arrest" by the President? If
they do, they n,ust be under the mis-
take of believing the average Of pub
lie intelligence to be no greater than
that Of Congress. 1t is well known
that such nien, as Wilson would like
to be bastiled, but the play would not
be worth the candle. The ror popni,
will bast;le them in that, to them,
worst Of all dungeons, their own
homes, next fall. The tables seem to
have turned with these gentlemen of
late. 1t is not long since they were,
through their newspaper organs, clam
orous for the arrest and impeachment
Of the President What has occurred
to make them change their tactics
from the valorous offensive to the
iimid and fearfuld defensive ? Has
the President undone anything for
which three months ago his ilnpeach-
ment was SO earnestly demanded P
Or what have the Radicals done to
transfer those of them that were to sit
in judgment on the President from The
judges bench to the prisoners boxf
There is something very mysterious
about this recent change of front, and
the Radicals owe it to themselves and
tho country to tell what it is.-Cor,

BuTLER's DocrRISr. ben Butler
said in Boston on Friday evening that
''as conquarors (of the South we have
acquired title by conquest to all they
have Of, life. liberty, land, rights con-
stitutional or otherwise" iila

principle, but upon the further idea,
which is not II whit more atrocious
that h., as the representative of the

No more unn,istokable sign of the

PERsoNiL APPEARANCE OF Mr.. PEA
BoDY.--Although in his sevcnty-secOnd
year, having been born on the Sth of
February, l795, Mr.. Peabody is still
hale and hearty, aud shows no signs
Of age. His figure is erect and Dig
nified. He stands full six feet high.
His proportions are in keeping with
his height There is little in his APP
pearance 10 Indicate life OF labor or
close application to business; yet he
has Iabored hard and devoted himself
close.y to business, even to the present
time, occasionally, however, relaxing
and giving brief time to recreation
in the country. In letter written To
one Of his family few years ago, he
described the benefits he received from
"a season OF exploration among the
Irish salmon fisheries. Though an

his snowy hair, which then was close
cut above his lofty forehead, has now
grown longer, and crowns head de-
developing fine intel.ec,nal powers
Perhaps the secret of the robust health
he has enjoyed up to this advanced
age may be found in the Latin motto
upon his family coat of arms, ".Narns

science is wall of brass. A well
spent life, and conscience that mp
