THE NEW PANACEA.

A proposition has been made in the United
States Senate to settle all outstanding politi
cal differences through the simple process
simple in more ways than one-of universal
suffrage and universal amnesty. Sumner
and Wilson and the Radicals in general,
adopt it. In view of their denunciations of
rebels" and their praises of the negro, it is
a little singular that they should now desire
to place them upon an equality at the ballot
box. The "rebels" must have very sud-
denly and. very greatly improved, or the
negro must have deteriorated in the same
race-horse ratio. We are unable to de-
termine which. If a negro is qualified to
exercise the inestimable privilege of the cleo
tive franchise, and 10 take an active part in
the public administration, it should be ac-
corded to him independently of all other
considerations. If he is not thus quail
flied by education, intelligence, virtue, and
a sincere attachment to the Government,
he ought to be excluded without regard to
other considerations That is stating the
as fairly and broadly as any
honest Radical can wish. If the so-called
rebels are disqualified from voting for any
Just and sufficient reason, in the judgment
of wise, patriotic and peace-loving men they
ought not to be allowed the privilege. But
how it can be assumed that neither can vote
without the other, is one of those mysteries
that nobody but fool, or a mailman, or a
knave can solve Understandings, even to his
own satisfaction. They have nothing in the
world to do with each other, and their con-
junction in the Senate of the United States
is simply ridiculous. As to the universal
amnesty part of the proposition, that stands
upon another footing altogether, and must
be considered from a wholly different stand
point.
The people would be pleased to hear

speech at the Courthouse. on Saturday

SOUTHERN ENTERPRISE.

We have receiveda circular from the cor
porators Of the South Alabama Manufac-
turing Company" of Wetumpka, Alabama,
incorporated 10th January last. The object
is to favor the development Of Southern en-
terprise by building dams across the COosa
river so as best to develope the water power.
The tone Of the circular indicates liberia
and advanced appreciation of the moral and
material good of industrial enterprise and
free labor. Ii appears that the area for the
development of this water power includes
several creeks to the west, and from thence
the whole of the bend between the Coosa
and the Alabama rivers TO the east. To
bring the water power into useful distribu-
ton all through this area the Coosa is to be
damned off some distance from the Pinefat
10 the northwest, and the water to be con-
Quoted, not more than Eve miles, by a canal
TO the northeast, to gain the ridge between
Mortar creek and the head waters Of Shoal,
Bakers and Holloway's creeks. The circu-
lar says:
The whole line is supplied with coldIsprinRs
and enduring branches, beautiful ridges and high
table lands. Some of The first settlers Of Alaba-
ma pitched their tents within this bend, who are
nov living and testify 10 its healthfulncSs. The
whole j. destined from its relations 10
health. railroad and navigation facilities. 10
building and raw materials for manufacturing
purposes. and particularly from its proximity to
the rich mineral regions Of the Coosa valley and
mountains above, 10 be Oyerspread with the in
situations Of manufactured wealth, industry and
enterprise, ornamentcd with mechanical and sci
entihc skill. Aud 20 these may be added all
those kindred elements Of prosperity. learning
and usefulness which mark human progress.
We are informed that this is one of the
very best manufacturing sites in the South,
the cheapness Of the land and Of servicable
material and stock, the proximity TO two
considerable commercial cities, and the To-
cation on a stream which is, we believe, Of
uninterrupted navigation throughout the
year, mark the occasion as an inviting one
TO gentlemen seeking a Southern field for
the active use Of their capital. The corpo-
rators desire to effect the promotion Of three
separate companies, to two Of which the
franchise should be sold outright. DR.. r.
s. Williams, Wetumpka, Alabama, may be
addressed for information.

WAR CLOUDS IN EUROPE.

As Austria declines to concur in such a
settlement of the Schleswig- Holstein ques-
ton rs would give the Duchies TO Prussia, it
is anticipated that the latter power will APP
peal to arms, the ultima ratio regum, and de-
clare war against Austria. 1t is said that
all the Austrian troops in Bohemia have
been ordered to Altoona, which is The princi-
pal city OF Holstein, close to Hamburg, and
that Prussia has ordered three army corps
to be got ready for active service at once.
n Austria gets involved in a war with Prus-
sia, the annexation Of Venetia 10 the King
dom Of Italy may be expected, almost as a
certainty.

The First Gun from Pennsylvania.

The municipal election in Harrisburg, the
capital Of Pennsylvania, on the 10th of
March, may properly be termed the first gun
from that State. The rival candidates for
Governor, Mr.. Clemer and General Geary,
are In the field, and thestrongest party lines
were drawn. The result was that Oliver
Edwards, the Democratic candidate for
Mayer, was elected by one hundred aud
forty-seven majority. The Democratic
County Treasurer has two hundred and
forty-two majority. This is Democratic
gain of two hundred and FIVE since last fall.

thirty-fve majority, the Democrats this

SOCIETY OF THE SOUTH.

Though not always very agreeable, it is
generally interesting to have an honest ex-
preston of the opinions which others enter
tain of us. The Cincinnati Commercial has
a correspondent who claims to have travel
ed extensively through the South since the
war, and to have familiarized himself thor
oughly with everything pertaining in any
way to the Southern country and people.
1t is not our purpose to question any Of his
absurd conclusions. We know nothing more
improbable Than arguing with this class of
individuals Furthermore, there is
spirit of candor pervading the letter
of the Commercials correspondent, which
somewhat atones for the silly egotism which
generally characterizes such productions.
The following are his impressions of society
at the South. God grant that whatever
calamities may befall us as people, we may
be spared the prediction with which the sec
ond paragraph concludes:
The exclusiveness of society in the South, and
the contempt and hatred with which, in many
places Northern people are regarded. are due
mainly to their women. Over all civilized socie
ty woman always reigns supreme, She opens its
doors TO whomsOever she will, and those whom
she banishes are banished indeed, and this is es
pecialy so at the South. 1t may be owing to the
appalling loss caused by the war among the men,
but from whatever cause it may be, many per-
sons notice and mention the marked superiority
of the Southern ladies. especially the younger,
over their brothers, both in intelligence and en-
ergy. Holding, then, as they do, the keys of
society. subject, they always are, less to the
control of reason than of impulse less familiar,
from actual acquaintance with people from the
North. they turn away from them and refuse
their profers of friendship when the men often
would accept and welcome them.
They have net seen the amity and the good ma
ture with which the soldiers met after the battle;
they cling with their wOnted fondness 20 the
memories and traditions of the past weep over
the little knapsack or the useless gray jacket
so carefully treasured up and their minds revert
always TO the hateful Yankee" who was the
cause o. all their SORROWS and they refuse TO be
"conciliated." That il is all a personal matter
with the dear creatures, and not national in any
sense, is shown by the fact that the officers and
soldiers in blue, whom they hate most cordially,
are those also to whom they generally eapitulate
and marry Still their empire is almost unbounded
over the sunny South, and right vigorously do
they WELD it against the incurSiOns Of Northern
barbarians. Southern society is the last strong
hold that will admit Northern ideas and Northern
men; their commerce has already yielded. politics
and religion viii follow afterwsrd, but suggishly
and last Of all in the train viii come their society
