THE BRITISH PERIoDIcALs.-I. Scott &
TO-, New York, continue their republication OF
the British Periodicals. as heretofore. See
advertisement In another column. We have
often, heretofore, expressed our opinion of the
value of these repubications. Many who were
deprived, during the war, Of their once wei
come supply OF the best periodical literature,
will be glad to have them again within their
reach. The prices are very reasonable, not
withstauding that these publishers honorably
pay copyright to the British publishers,
which, of course, adds largely to their cost.
There are now few persons interested in the
numerous questions of this age, or in literature
in general, who dc not find it useful to take
one or more of the Reviews. TO professional
men and intelligent men of business who have
not sufficient leisure to read even the best
books continually issuing from the press, the
Reviews are also, useful, and at the same time
sufficient to impart comprehensive view of
the merits of books, the nature and merits Of
the questions and enterprises OF the day, and
of the intellectual state and progress OF the
times

WHAT WE WILL Do.-The Richmond Times
says that what the Constitution and laws of the
United States require us to perform VIC will do,
and nothing more. We will faithfully execute
she covenant Of emancipation, aud do ample
justice to the negro and protect him IN all his
newly acquired rights. But, we will neither
be intimidated nor made to aid in our own de,
graduation and dishoDor. We can oppose to all
efforts to accomplish our ruin the resistance Of
patience, endurance and heroic fortitude. 1t
is not possible for the most deviish ingenuity
to infict upon us more than we suffered and
endured with maniuess and courage during
the last five or six Years.

Two negroes, belonging to the ncighborhood,
went into tao store Of a Mr.. Baker, on Thurs
day last, and called for whisI1ey. While Mr..
B. was in the act of drawing it, they struck
him several severe blows on the head, which
fractured his skull, and rendered him insensi-

of Richmond. They were pursued and cap
tured- however, afterwards made his es-
cape The other was committed to JAIL 1t is
thought that Mr.. Baker will not recover.
The matter of controversy was q question Of
fact to which Japhet had reliable witness.
Ham summoned five witnesses, none of whom
knew anything, except from Hams statement
OF the question in controversy. The Justice
had no difficulty in determining the matter,
and saddled Ham with the cost. liam at once
became indignant, and appealed to the L. B.,

MARYLAND is looked upon with an ''eyil
eye," by the Radical faction. Maryland did
not secede: but the great majority Of the people
Of Maryland, since the close Of the var, have
plainly indicated their hostility to ultEaism, in
all its shapes and forms; and hence they nov
receive 10 favor The Kindness manifested
towards the South, the result Of the popular
elections, the exhibitions of sympathy for ali
oppressed and suffering section Of country,
shown almost all over the State, have embit-
tered the feelings of the Radicals, and induced
them to regard Maryland as not much better
than Virginia Hence, the remark Of Thad-
deus Stevens quoted by US yesterday, and the
echo of his satellites. The offences Of Mary
land have, however, eliminated, in the recent
election of Gusts Lee, son Of Gen. Robert
e. Lee, as President of the Maryland Agricrl-
tural College, No objection, of course, is made
as to the capoJilHy Of the newly elected officer,
or as to his qualifications; but he is denounced
in the Washington Chronicle ''as the son and
imitator of his unhung progenitor' the Col
lege is set down as Rebel concern, and it is
demanded that if the u. S. donation Of $4,000
acres Of land for college purposes, has not been
given to the Maryland Agricultural College,
it shall low be withheld This is as near
Jacobinism, in spirit and in letter as has get
been reached in this country. ..

Governor of Virginia, and another praying for
tie establishment of a territorial government
in Louisiana. The latter mcmorIa which Is

publican or loyal. 1t gave rise to a spirited
debate. 4 bill was introduced to equallze
the distribution OF the currency Of the national
banks in the several States and Territories.
The bill for the admission Of Nebraska was
then taken up, the questions being on the
amendment denying admission unil civil and
political rights are secured to all without re-
gard to color. A long discussion ensued, IN
which Messr4 Wade, Cowan, Sumner, Howe,
and D0olttlc participated. The Senate then
went into executive session and soon after ad
