WAR IN A New QuARrER.-The

WAR IN New QUARTER.-The
Atlantic Telegraph brings us news
that France has declared war against
Corca. This last is not n familiar
name to readers of newspapers, but
is nevertheless the designation of a
country quite important for several
commercial purposes. Corea is q
peninsula in the Northeast of Asia.
projecting South-easterlv into tho
ocean, which it divides into the Sea
of Japan on the East, and the Yellow
Sea on the West. 1t has never been
accurately surveyed, and little more
IS known of it than that it is about
600 miles long by 135 wide; that it is
inhabited by about 2O,0OO.OOO of
people, that its ''foreign policy" is
more Chinese than the Chinese; and
that, although not very fertile, nor
particularly we'll provided with ports.
1t has several harbors which might
be made excellent naval stations. The
extremity OF the peninsula is q con
venlent point d'dppui for an attempt
either upon China or upon Japan;
the direct distance to the mouth of
the Hoang-Ho being only some
eighty miles, and to the Western
most end Of Japan still less than that.
We may conjecture that France ex-
poets to share with her Muscovite
rival III the partition Of the goods
and chattels Of the ''sicl1 man" of
Asia; and to regain in the North of
Asia the prestige which Clyde and
Hastings long ago wrcsted from her
in the South.
1t is an odd coincidence that we
should publish on the same morn
ing the news of the final relinquish-
ment by France of her schemes of
empire in the Western world, and of
this attempted compensation in the
''most Eastern East"

The cause of fever is the contamination Of
the blood by some morbitic agent The
nerves connected with nutrition and or
ganic contractility suffer alteration in their
composition. The muscles, deprived of
nervous influence, begin to waste, and this
waste produces heat. The heart is in
creased i'll its action, and the blood is rem
dered still mere impure by receiving the
wasted tissues by the continued action of
the morbid agent, as we'll as by the func-
tions of the lungs, liver and spleen being
impeded. Purify, therefore, the springs of
life, the blood. Use the ''Queen's Delight"
the great blood remedy, and all morbid
agents will be removed The Queens De-
light has cured many cases Of contamina-
ton Of the blood, chill and fever, typhoid
fever; cruptise fever will be prevented bv
the free use of the Queens Delight. For

The IRISH EnGRATIoN.-The emf

remarks that q considerable portion
of the emigration takes place through
prepaid tickets, the friends of parties

money there, and during the past two
months the number of prepaid pass
ages has greatly increased. This

In the anguish and desperation of
their late unexpected defeat, the Bal
timore radicals have determined to
make one more effort to recover their
lost power, by adopting universal ne
gro suffrage. Their plans are dis
closed in the following whining de-
spatch, sent as soon as the result of
the election was known to the Phila-
delphia Press. One of the papers Of
their sympathizing friend, Fornev,
discloses their designs:
BALTIMORE, November G.-Col. J.

tie city by at least 1000 majority,
and probably the State by very hea.
Wy vote. In some Counties, soldiers

and, in some districts Of Baltimore
County, Unionists were not allowed
to vote at ALL
The radicals made a gallant fight,
but the Washington interference de-
feated them. Again the path to the
capital will be controlled by rebels.
A special despatch to the Press
says the conservatives are howline
over their victory, and have threaten
ed TO attack the american Office and
the radical headquarters. The yadi-
Gals rallied and drove them out of
Baltimore street. Much excitement
prevails, and the city reminds me Of
the night of April 10, 1861. The ne
gro suffrage men are not much tron-
bled. Their party st; ted to-niobt
and viii undoubtedly be the partV Of
the future. Some person told JUDGE
Bond, tonight, that the Unionists
were defeated. He replied, he felt

shot dead while walking. together in
the streets: The murderer is the
husband Of Mrs. Leach, and has been

THE ELECTIONS. The Richmond
Times says:
The elections up to this time give
thirty Republicans in the Senate
to six Democrats, with twelve vacan-
cies to be filed, without counting the
members from any OF the States of
the South except Tennessee. OF the
twelve vacancies, ten will undoubted-
ly be filled by Republicans, viz: One
from Illinois, one from Indiana, two
from Kansas, one from Missouri, one
from New York, one from New Jer
sey, one from Nevada, one from
Pennsylvania, and one from Wiscon-
sin. Kentucky will, of course, elect
also. This will give, with twenty-six
States represented, forty-four Repub-
licans to eight Democrats.
SO far, the House of Representa-
tives, exclusive Of the South, stands:
Republicans one hundred and twenty
three. Democrats thirty-eight. We
have counted among the Democrats
Ross and Burr, of Illinois, Anderson.
OF New York, Anderson, of Missouri.
and Newell and Rogers, of New Jer-
sey. whose Democracy" or conser-
vatism is at least doubtful.
Connect ut, California, Kentucky,
New Han 4>shire, Rhode Island and
tennessee, choosing twenty-nine
members, are yet to elect. Of these,
the Republicans will probably carry
the four Districts in Connecticut. the
three in California, the three in New
Hampshire, the two in Rhode Island.
and two of the nine in Kentucky.
while Of the eight in Tennessee no
proper estimate can be given.

The Next Congress.

The Philadelphia Age says that it
IS now openly announced by the radi
Gals, that the conservative members
elect from Maryland will not be ad
mitted to Congress. No matter what
may be the vote cast for the conser-
vative party-no matter how posi-
lively the popular vote may declare
in favor Of the true friends of the
Union and the Constitution-no one
elected in Maryland is to be permit
ted to represent the will Of the ma
jority, who is opposed to the mad
and reasonable schemes of the Con-
gressional juhta. Having failed to
excite q new rebellion, and not sue
ceeding in their wicked desire to
'Edrench the streets Of Baltimore
with blood" the radicals intend to
transfer their factious opposition to
the laws from Maryland to Washing
ton, and they now propose to exclude
from Congress the legally
Representative Of Il State that was
never out of the Union. This is no
idle threat on the part of the de-
structives They turned out of the
Senate the Hon John p. Stockton,
legally elected from New Jersey, and
committed number of similar out
RACES in the House Of Representa-
tives. In their lust for power, they
hesitate at no wrong, and they will
not stop at any crooked path which
leads to the consummation they de-
voutly seek.
We are not much surprised at this
determination on the part Of the radi-
calls; but calm, cool, quiet and dis
passionate men will foresee, in this
determination of the Jacobins, Il de-
hberate attempt to overtnrn the in
stitutions Of the country. The his
tory of the great American republic
is yet unwritten, but we fear for the
record the historian may have to
trace

History.

History.
We do not think that there is more
sound teaching than that of history
teaching by example. We may read
history as q romance, but the close
student will discover that the lessons
and impressive suggestions must, if
attended to, be productive of good.
Republics have existed and passed
away, and this, with oil its prestige
and strength, and all the warnings of
its founders, is not beyond the posi-
bility of similar fate. The radical
idea that the negro is quite Us civil
lied and qualified for high places and
great duties as the white man, is
pressed persistently upon us, and the
indications. are not wanting that it
VIII be until we run the race which
has befallen all republics which have
gone before us. It has been remarked
by one who studies the signs Of the
times intelligibly, that while we may
not, like them, pass away, there is
danger that, like others, The Govern
ment will lose its republican features
and the people their liberties and
boasted civilization. The Cincinnati
Enquirer, in reply to one of its city
cotemporaries, puts this matter in
strong light. It says:
''People survive after they become
incapable Of material progress, and
have lost their political vitality. 1t
is probable that the Indians, who in
habitated this country when it was
discovered, were the descendants of
the mound-builders They had lost
all traditions of their former great
ness, in the lapse of, perhaps, hun
dreds of centuries, and yet they had
not passed away. The process of ex-
tinction was following slowly after
that Of degradation, and would, per-
haps, eventually have deropulated
the land. Nations and civilization
do grow up, culminate and expire.
The glorious days of Greece were in
cluded in period of two or three
centuries; those of Rome in seven or
eight Asia Minor was once the
richest and most populous country in
the world; now it is a desert, with a
few degenerate Inhabitants. The
strongest nation and the highest civil
ization is-if the teachings of the
past are to be believed-destined to
work out its mission and dissolve.
Nations are like fruits; some hang on
and ripen, and some are scarcely
formed before they drop off and de
cay. Mexico, in 1920, was pro-
noupced by an impartial observer
BHron n Humboldt-to be equal in
wealth, activity, population and pros
poets, to the United States. Where
and what is she now, with her fresh
revolution and new constitution every
two years? a mere beggar IN the
family OF nations. Is there not, at
least, some danger that this boasted
Republic will rot before it is ripe,
and fall, leaving for its legacy only an
example to be stunned, and prece-
dent to be avoided?"
God only knows what the destiny
of this country is to be. We fully
and firmly believe that radicalism
will have to be rooted out by violent
measures, and that Andrew johnson
can alone save 5he country. The ra-
dical Congress to meet in a few
weeks, if not restrained by consti-
tutional measures, will plunge the
country in ineffable woe, and over
turn all our existing institutions.

We copy the following from the
Richmond E,comi,eey:
The bazaar to be held in this city
in February, by the Ladies' Hollv-
wood Memorial Association, " we re-
joice to know, promises q success
commensurate with the noble spirit
which has prompted it. It consti-
tutes an important feature in the
arrangements, which the ladies are
consummating, with the view of OBJ
tanning the funds requisite to the
accomplishment OF their patriotic en-
terprise.
1t is expected that the proceeds
from the bazaar and the subscrip-
.tions received by agents, to be APP
pointed in the cities and Counties of
the various Southern States, will
aggregate Il very large, if not an
ample, sum. Every Southern com
munity should feel interested in pre-
venting a disapp intment of this
reasonable expectation Of the ladies.
The preservation from desecration
and decay, and the appropriate deco
ration Of the graves of Confederate
soldiers, is a high and holy duty,
from. which the South could not
escape if she would, without q confes-
sion OF Indifference to the noblest
impulses which sway the human
heart.
Our poor boys who rallied to the
defence of home and fireside, and of
the solemn convictions which were
the guide of our forefathers, fell in
an unsuccessful struggle. Their blood
baptized u conquered banner" upon
whose folds. thanks to their glorious
valor, no stain of dishonor rests, and
