He was in his Office on Monday attending to his bu-

His physician discovered that Mr.. Dickinson
was laboring under a severe attack of hernia. On
Thursday it became evident that he could not live
the night out. He was himself aware of his condi.
tion, but remained calm and collected to the last,
and died while sitting up in bed
1t is calculated from data deemed reliable, that in
Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, the number of
negroes at work is about one-third of that in 1860
while there are now twice many white laborers as
then. In those districts where white labor has here
tofore been used, there will be toerable full crops of

RAILROAD ARRANGEMENTS. AS announced
last week, the passenger trains on the Del Il.
r. have changed their time of running. Hav
ing received the timetable too late to make the
corrections on our first side, we give them as
follows: morning train north leaves Smyrna
7.30, as before; evening train north, 1.5s in
stead of $50; first train south, 1926 P. NJ,
instead of n.5O, A. NJ, and evening train
south, 755 instead of 6. 55. 1t will be seen that
the northern mail is delayed nearly an hour in
the morning and just an hour in the evening.
The change meets with general dissatisfaction
along the whole route.
Heretofore, in the summer, we have receiv-
ed the mails earlier instead of late. The alter
alton was affected to enable the Delaware trains
to connect with the Baltimore trains. 1t i:
hoped that some better arrangements may b.
made soon whereby we may have earlier north
ern trains, without interfering with Baltimore
or Baltimore have what she desires without in
terfering with us.

THE DRY ToRTUGAs PRISONERS. gov
ernment transport Eliza Hancor, from Calves
ton on the 22d ult., touching the Florida coast,
brings to Fortress Monroe several discharged
prisoners and news of DIR. Mudd, Arnold, Span
gler and Col. Marmaduke.
DR.. Mudd, who at one time attempted to es-
cape, is still kept under close guard, and com
PEELED to clean out the bastiOns in the casematcs
of the fort, and do some of the most menial de-
grading work required to be done. Never very
robust, he is now but little more than skele-
ton, and his growing emaciation shows how bit
terly his spirit chafes under his imprisonment.
His constant prayer is for death.
Arnold is employed as clerk of Captain Van
Reade, post adjutant. He is an uncommonly
fine penman and accurate accountant, and we'll
behaved and modest and yielding in his demean-
or. He grows in usefulness and popularity
each day. A guard attends him to his meals,
and at night he is kept in close custody.
Spangler is at work in the quartermaster S
carpenter shop. Already he begins to count
the years, months and days remaining to com
plete his term of Imprisonment. lie is robust
and jolly-a physical condition he attributes
| however, solely to his being innocent of any
participancy in the dreadful crime charged
against him.
Colonel Marmaduke, found guilty ofthe not
ed conspiracy to free the prisoners of Camp
Douglas and burn Chicago, has charge of the
post garden. In respect to manual labor h
has an easy time.

THREATENED WAR IN EURoPE.-The ru-
mors of war in Europe thicken with the ar
rival of every steamer from the Old World.
1t appears, from both the official papers Of
Austria and Prussia, that the relations of those
kingdoms have assumed threatening charac-
ter. The Duchies of Schleswig and Holstoin
are the cause or rather the occasion of this
complication. Prussia, il seems, has for some
time been attempting to annex these little
States 10 her possessions, to which Austria
viii not consent. Prussia has become SO per-
sistant in her demands that Austria is arming
to meet any emergency. In the mean time
the Prussian War Minister, Count Bismarck,
urges forcible possession of the Duchies
Both parties express desire for peace, YET
each is preparing to resist the insults of the
other, and each feels that il is being insultei
by the other. Neither wants to be charged
with bringing on g war, yet both are determin
ed to carry out their plans. This seems to b
thetrue state ofthe case, as near as we can lear,
them. The Austrians are sending large bad;e'
of troops to the frontier, which greatly exc;t,
the Prussians. -

Bad Advisers.

The Civil Rights Bill has become law, and
mined to carry out its provisions. He is re-
ported as saying that he exercised his con-
stitutional right of vetoing the bill, and Con-
gress exercised its constitutional right in max
ing it law over his veto, and he should there
fore execute it. Such, obviously, is his duty
Democratic papers and individuals throughout
the country are, however, persuading the
President be may and should not enforce the
law. He is told to act ON his own decision with
regard TO Its unconstitutionality regardless of
the opinion or decision of the Supreme Court,
the power legally constituted to make such de-
cii9n. The President, in other words, is re-
quested to usurp the powers of the Supreme
Court, to violate the Constitution and place
himself above the laws Of the land. Such is
their idea, or expressed idea, of love for the
one and obedience to the other.
These are the advisers of the South. Al
much as has been said against Phillips, Sum
ner, Stevens and others for their hostility to
ward the rebellious States, they have not prov
ed as mischievous as these peculiar friends O
the Southern people. The Phillips and tn,
Summers might have argued against the slav,
power with twice the force they did, and We
failed to bring on the rebellion. 1t was by di
rect encouragement from Northern loud mouth
ed Democrats that the war was begun. The
South supposed its coercion would be prevent
ed and its States Rights doctrines maintained
by the Copperheads, who professed to be theil
champions against the Radicals.
These same advisers are still urging the
South to make demands and refuse demands
which it would not otherwise desire but fo
their meddling. Just after the close of th,
war the South was willing to accept almos
any terms desired of it, until these professet
friends, who had encouraged it in its hostilit,
to the Government and induced it to bring wa
upon itself, urged it to only accept such term
as they recommended Reconstruction is tim
prevented by the newspapers and Individual
referred to. They are inimical to the cause O
Of the South

SMYRNA ACADEMY friends of this
enterprise assembled at the Academy, on Sat-
urday, and short addresses delivered by Revs
Messrs. Mccoy, Harrison, Gracey and DR.
MOrsell. After dwelling on the advantages
of education, its indispensable necessity, etc.,
the especial claims of the institution in behalf
of which they were assembled was particularly
set forth to the audience by each speaker.
The question is not whether we can maintain
the school, but whether we can afford to be
without an institution of the kind. Surprise
was expressed that such town as Smyrna
had been so greatly at fault as to allow itseli
to be without improved educational facilities
so long The Principal of the Academy, Rev
Mr. Chatham, was commended to parents az
fully competent for the position he had beer
selected to fill, and the gentlemen who haC
started the institution were also praised fol
their enterprise and appreciation of the cause
of education. The Academy opened on Mon
day under the most favorable auspices.

ed by Hon. s. p. Chase, Bishop james and

Guiding part of Chief Justice Chase's speech
on the power of Methodism in the present and
on the future interest of our nationality:
ga hundred years to come! When we look
back and see what God hath wrought; when
we see what he has been preparing in these
latter days through all this great work of mercy
and enfranchisement, what can we think OF the
hundred years to come? Who can tell what
this nation is to become if it be only faithful to
itself? Who can measure the work that this
Church has to perform in making this nation
true to itself and true to its God? verify be-
ieve that but for this Church nothing of that
which we have thus far realized could have
been accomplished verify believe that God
in his providence raised up this Church. L dc
not say that he did not give appropriate spheres
of action to other churches but do verify be
lieve that God raised up this (the Methodist
Church for the purpose Of aiding In leading
this nation to these grand results. Now thu

THE VETO PowER-The Civil Rights bill
has passed both houses of Congress by the ne
cessary two thirds vote, and is now law.
This is the second instance in the history of
our Government wherein bill after being We
toed by the Executive has become law The
other instance was in the case of an unimpor-
tant measure during the Administration OF
President Tyler, which, after being vetoed by
an individual, was passed by two-thirds vote
in both houses of Congress. The veto power
has not been exercised much of late years we
append the following list of vetoes issued since
the formation of the Government:

now rests upon basis of prosperity that must
be very gratifying to its owners. 1t was first

The sale to an American of Mexican terri

Vega is rich in its great salt beds, and the pur-
chasers are firm of San Francisco. No I'm
perial force of authority has yet occupied 1t,

We agree with The World that the right of

that complexion is unqlestionable but an at

the Government has certain jurisdiction. The
Worlds cry for Coolies i'll comports with its
wall against the negroes. 1t is pretty much as
we have predicted: instead of exporting the

cuiators prefer importing more colored labor,
