Albert Pixies Petition.

Hon. Albert Pike, the poet, lawyer and ex
Confederate General, some time since peti.
toned the President for pardon under tn,
$40, 900 clause. The petition contains some
sensible and forcible paragraphs. We quote.
The late war was owing more to the
dead Of the past, who are honored, than 10
tile living Of the present. who are execrated |;
more TO Jefferson and Madison than to Davis
and Hunter; more to the Kentucky and Vir-
ginia resolutions than 10 the arguments of
1866; "ciyil connections have long roots
in the past" and their authors have long
been beyond the reach of human ven
geance while those whom hatred seeks to
immediate have been but the bopdmen of
necessity, the blind instruments of fate.
Why should the scaffold claim the blood of
the living, who only obeyed the dead?
:" respectfully submit that il Is not Just
to regard as rebellion and treason what had
been GAINED by States and parties for sew
enty years as the lawful exercise of DO
litical right by State; and it would be
great mistake 10 even make one name and
memory watchword aud beacon for all
coming time. 1t would he to create that i'm.
passable barrier which always separates after
blood is shed, the children Of the same coun-
try. ....- ...I I...,............
If convicted and sentenced, none now
accused will feel, nor will the people of the
South believe, that they have been guilty of
treason. Neither defeat nor condemnation
changes convictions. They will not seem to
have been criminals, but only TO have atoned
With their lives for the sin Of failure in tha
assertion of rights claimed, even if unreal,
by many States, and by great political par
ty, since the beginning of the government"

The Blessings or AmictiOn.

George D. Prentice, on recovering from a
very serious illness, writes his experience OF
the holy and hallowed influences that sooth-
ed and sustained him during his sickness
In late number of the Louisville Journal
we find the following beautiful reflections:
"Our heartfelt thanks are due to very
many OF onr brethren of the press for their
very kind notices OF us during our late illness.
Their sympathy soothed and cheered and
strengthened us. 1t seemed to throw calm
and lovely light upon the world and make
us wish to linger still among our fellow-men.
There Is much that Is beautiful and holy
and hallowing in sickness. Its influences
are purer and better than those of health
Indeed the feebleness Of body is often the
health Of the soul. We see and hear what
we may not in the season of our physical
strength. Myriad spirits of the air flutt.r
over the dividing line between two worlds,
uttering to mortal beings the tones they have
learned 10 heaven. AS we move downward
upon the sombre mysterious pathway that
leads to the door of the tomb, we behold, as
from the depths Of shadowy well or cavern,
the pale serenties of floating stars, all inyis-
ible in the glare aud sunshine OF the upper
air, and their sacred and blessed light need
never fade from the spirit" .#..TI..f

ORIGIN OF CAST Ilos MANUFACTURES.
Welsh shepherd boy, named John Thomas,
in the spring of 100, rescued flock Of his
masters sheep from a snow drift, and late in
the same spring, during heavy rain and
melting of snow, he swan river and drove
home in safety a herd of mountain cattle.
As reward for his courage, his master gayo
him four of the sheep which he had saved.
lie sold the wool to buy better clothing, and
with the money be obtained for the sheep, hs
travelled TO Bristol to seek his fortune. To
prevent being impressed rs soldier his mas
ter recommended him as brass worker with
Abraham Darby. As he was looking on
while some workwen were endeavorine no

how they had missed it, and begged to try q
method Of his own. He aud Mr.. Darby re-
mained alone In the shop that night, and be-
fore morning they had cast an iron pot. Ho
was at once engaged TO remain and keep the
secret which he did faithfully, although
double wages were offered him by other PAR
ties. For more than one hundred years after
that night, the process oil producing iron
castings in a mold of fine sand, with two
wooden frames and air holes, was practiced
and kept secret, with plugged key and

OF this popular authoress: "As we drove

The Constitutional Amendments.

The question. whether the constitutional,
Amendments shall be adopted, involves a
subject vastly more important than the i'm.
mediate changes which these amendments
are designed to effect. The first and great
question is can we amend the Constitution
rightfuliy. so az to take from any State a
power which it has not voluntarily granted
to the United States? Does the provision in
the Constitution, which authorizes its amend
ment, mean that a majority of two thirds In
Congress and three fourths of the States
have the power to make monarchy out of
the republic, and that the minority of people
and States are bound TO such fundamental
change
If the power Of alteration extends as far
as now assumed for the purposes of these
proposed amendDents, then it is plain that
the power also extends to the complete OBJ
liberation Of States. The exception in the
constitution forbidding amendments which
would deprive a State of its equal represen.
tatlon in the Senate, can itself be amended
and erased. The provision that no State
snail be divided without its consent can be
amended and erased. 1t is as easy to make
New York two States, and New England one
state, as 1t is to pass these amendments now
before the people. If these are passed the
precedent will be established. There will
then be no limit to the changes which, in
political excitement will be urged on by men
OF both sides. II Is therefore the very body
Of the Constitution which is now in danger
We beseech the Radical leaders to face
this great truth and give it due attention.
The future of this country is not within the
view OF living prophets; but there are in
Vulnerable reasons for the belief that the
majority OF more than a million now oppos-
ing the Radical measures will in time gain
the power in Congress and in the States
When that time comes, there is every reason
to suppose that sectional party will again

THE MISSISSIPPI LEGISLATURE.
Resolutions or the House on Ex.Pres.
.e ident Jefferson Davis.

In the House OF Representatives, Of tho
Mississippi Legislature, on the goth of 0cto-
ber Mr.. Hillyer introduced the following
resolutions, which, upon vote, were unani-
mously adopted:
Resoleed, That this body desires to express
TO Jefferson Davis their deepest sympathy,
their profound respect, their combined pei
sonal attachment, and their enduring re-
membrance Of his virtues as q man, and of
those great qualities of mind and heart which
in the cabinet and field, in power and mis-
fortune, have marked his eventful life,
and which, from his prison house, calls forth
and receives at their hands the same ac-
knowledgment Of love and regard that they
gave him when he brea,hed the air Of Free
dom.
RESOLVED, That the members of the House
look upon the confinement of Mr.. Davis rs u
State prisoner, without judicial process, and
continued now nearly eighteen months, as
unwarranted by the constitution and law,
and in the name of humanity they urge his
immediate release, or at least that speedy
trial which avery man has right TO claim
under the Constitution, when called upon to
answer to the courts OF tho country for his
conduct.
Resolrsd, That this house is desirous that
able members oil the Mississippi bar should
at once proceed to Virginia and actively en-
gage in the defense Of Mr.. Davis, with
view To his release and that tor such pur-
pose it is prepared to make the necessary
appropriation.
Resolved, further, That this house present
20 the people Of Mississippi, the subject of
providing for the family OF Mr.. Davis, by
such general and liberal contributions from
every county as will insure to his wife and
children that provision for life which his
eminent services, his devotion to his State
his self-sacrifce--his great merits and
great misiortunts so imperatively demand
and which for Mississippi now to refuse
would show herself and her sous alike de-
generate.

COTTON AND SOUTHERN INDUSTRY.

In noticing the fact that meeting is Il
be held in Choctaw county, Alabama, in Q
few days for the purpose of organizing a cot.
ton manufacturing company the Mobile Tri.
bune so forcibly expresses the views which
we hold, and have from time 10 time given,
that we reproduce them entire. 1t says:
This is directing our resources and in
dustry in the right direction, for il mi II own
ers in New England can declare one hundred
per cent. annual dividends, we do not see
why we of the South may not get as much !;
although half Of that, or even fourth, ought
to serve as stimulus 10 capital. The water
power is to be found everywhere: the cotton
lies by its side. Our days are longer in
winter than those of New England. Our
country, where there are mill sites. is
healthier. Fuel is abundant. Consumption
that terrible avenger of Yankee cupidity-
is not here, although il may be found, if well
sought for, in any country. Lying adjacent
to the mills are lands which the artizans
can cultivate, and from them educe home
steads which, when fairly started, will make
within a few years. beautiful places, where
true poor men can live well, and who, when
they shall have grown accustomed to them.
viii not leave them for any temptation in
the bleak and inhospitable climate of New
England.
All this is true and, therefore we cannot
possibly see why the cotton may not here be
made up into cloth or yarns and yield to
those who make them very remunera'ive
return. In Choctaw county there are hun
dreds Of little negroes, who, under the new
evangel ofthe Radicals have been cast forth
without much hope of bread and butter.
These little waits, under q skilful manufac.
turing system, could be made useful to them
selves and their parents; and we are quite
sure that they would like the employment.
Their fathers and mothers might 90 into the
fields to make cotton. The little chaps might
go into the factories to help TO spin it, and
thus child and parent would be all the time
getting something to make themselves COM
Portable. Nay, if they desire it, ultimately
to invoke the uses of education in order to
fit themselves for the good time which is
coming; and, in the interim, purchasing
lands, as their means of doing so increased,
so that. with industry, within a few years,
the black man may be able to say to his fell
low sufferer, the white man, " see here, we
have been dligent in the performance of our
duties, why shall you not Respect us2" Well
when they can ask this question, it will be
bad man who will refuse to accord to them
the respect which is their due.

that all men are created equal, that they arc

Whereas, according to our theory Of re-

more etfectual preservation OF the liberties Of
the whole people, we believe that the only
true bulwark of civil liberty now consists ia
Tree thought free speech, u free press, uni
Yersal suffrage, and universal amnesty; and,
Whereas, Ia the State of Tennessee there
