The most fitting comment on this great
enterprise is the fact that on Monday the
daily newspapers printed news frcm

signed between Austria and Prussia.

Generai shern,an's way.

In certain political circles, General
Sherman vas short time ago favorite
candidate for the Presidency. The Gei-
eral seems averse, however, TO having his
head turned by any aspirations to that
high ofIicc Ec travels whittier he is
minded, with whom he chooses, and
speaks what his heart prompts and his
judgment approves. At present he Is
making a tour through New England,
enjoying The hospitality Of her people and
receiving their honors and congratulations.
On the 10Th ult., he was present, in COM
pany with Chief Justice Chase, at the
commencement exercises Of Dartmouth
College. We believe that President
Pierce abides in New Hampshre-was
born and brought up in it-bpt we have
not us vet been able to discover any
evidence of his being present at the
Dartmouth commencement exercises =
Why was not the ex-Fresident there !?
lie richt have learned something
Scarcely, either, for the General was talk
ing to young men, and the ex-Prcsident
would scarcely, under any circumstances,
claim 70 belong to a generation OF more
recent date than Of the fifteenth century.
But at any rate, he might have prevented
the attaching to the General of the DIS
credit Of being in company with the
naughtiest radicals in the country. But
fer General Sherman's speech. As we
mentioned previously, he was talking to
young men. Young men invariably
get cart-loads of advice about tie way
to succeed in the world, to become useful,
to live an honorable life and die worthy
death. It is only once, though, i'll a
ceutration that golden words, such as
General Sherman's, are dropped into
young mems ears. General Sherman, 5
experience has been one of hard knocks.
Consequently he painted no fancy picture,
he INDUCED in 10 dreams. Bat ike a
man who had hewn his way with his
sword. and had drawn his sword only IL
obedience to tEe voice of his country, he
told the young men just graduating that
ait Is beyond the power of any living
creature to I'll Que half the picture theil
worthy President had just painted" Then
Ia the second sentence after wards, he let
the cat out of the bag at one jump, and
revealed the great secret of his success
Il will try said he, "to discharge The
duty assigned to me humbiy and to the
beat Of my ability" That rule had
suficed for him in the past: it you'd not
fail now F; and it did moi. That rule wa:
the secret Of his success, Of Grants sue
cess, and of their firm friendship for each
other and their ever abiding concord
He had been sent on various almost use
less missions in the early part of his
career, but not allowing the dcmerit o
his missions to weigh anything, he saw
sll he could, and treasured his knowledge
Finally the Rebellion came, and his musty
knowledge did much, very much, toward
saving his country.
The moral of Gen. Shcrman's speech
sud life is this BE PrccticH. Then
"Whatsocver thy hand fGdeth to do, thai
90 with all thy might" The speech j.

THE Pittsburg Commerciol, after much
shifting Of her sails and changing of her
helm, has at last steadicd herself in her
course, anl that the right one. Fog q
long time, II was harder to tell which way
she bore than to follow the track OF fire
fly. Two Republican voters in our town
incline 70 follow the great J.'s ''po'icy,"
ard only for the Commercial, there would
not have been more than one. If the
Commercial works right diligently here-
after, the wandering sheep may yet bo
recovered, though We are not sure that he
continues still TO be reader of the Com
ulercial. We welcome the Commercial
back to coed company, and if necessary,
will lend it steel rod during the coming
campaign to slip up its back 5one ane

In three Districts of South Carolina, the
number of white people, by the census OF
1860, was l20 900, and that Of the blacks
$4,000. The numbe: of voters, all white,
was l9,400, These Districts had three
members OF Congress aud three Presilcu
tial Electors. One would be Their nun

its political status on the darkies. it mu-t

aud in Presidential elections. One Of the
three in the above Districts represented
the white POPULATION and two stood In
Congress for the negroes. A wEite man ;

The Mexican Question in France.

A recent article in the Revue DIES Deur
Mondes, one ofthe most influential and fear
less organs of French opinion, has an article
on the French occupation OF Mexico, unhesi-
tatingly expressing the disapprobation with
which the present state of things is regarded
in France. The writer Indignantly declares
that the latter nation is compelled mot only to
spend forty or fifty millions year to support
this Mexican adventlrer (Maximilian), but
also to raise on French capital in the form O.
loan, one hundred millions per annum for
the establishment of the Emperor Maxiinili-
an"
He does not hesitate to denounce the whole
business as "a gigantic folly which has already
lasted too long," and to express in the most
emphatic terms the relief and satisfaction with
which France will learn that s'the Mexican
experiment is a: an end," and the soldiers at
liberty to "return to their own country" =
When we consider the rigid censorship con-
stantly exercised over the French press, SO
rigid that recent attempts have been made to
make it extend even to foreign papers, we
must perceive double significance in the fact
that these bold utterances are permitted
Straws show which way the wind bio WIS; and
just now there are many such straws all going
to show that Louis Napoleon is getting very
sick of the Mexican business, and needs only
a decent pretext to yield to the wishes of his
people, and withdraw from the affair altogeth.
