larged factory buildings until they now cover

The arrival at Paris Of the German po-
ct, philosopher and patriot, Gottfried Kin
kel, has reminded correspondent there
Of an adventure Of the stormy times of SO
in Germany IN which Kinkel and Carl
Schurz, well known in this country as SOL
der, politician and journalist, were engag-
ed. When the revolution broke out, Kin
kel was a professor, and Schurz, then not
twenty years old, student at Bonn
Both took prominent part in the struggle,
both we're captured, tried and sentenced,

in his dreary confinement. He disguised
himself in rags, and returned to Prussii

day, and visiting the friends Of liberty b.
night, and thus travelled many hundre'
miles, only to find that Kinkels prison ha'

TRAIToRous INsTIaATIoNs.-The New
York Daily News, the unwavering organ
Of the rebel element, is urging President
johnson to secure the admission Of the
Southern delegations 10 Congress BY the
exercise Of force. 1t says that day ought
to be fixed (by the President, Of coursc,)
for these Southern delegates TO take their
seats. If this process is not quietly as
sented to, then " let the President send q
detachment of Federal troops to preserve
order in the Capitol = that is, to compel
the reception of the Southern members by
force Of arms. The News expressly tells
the President, referring to his difference
with Congress on this point: Your REM
edy is force against fraud action against
conspiracy" These diabolical suggestions
may derive shadow Of support from the
story published in Memphis paper res
pecting the Presidents avowed intention
to secure the admission Of the Southern
delegations; bu. that intention, even if ex-
pressed, which is doubtful could never
have been associated with the hideous pro-
gramme foreshadowed by the News. The
only purpose, indeed, for which we repro
duce this is to show that the old poison Of
treason is still unchanged and Is still cir
culating at the North. 1t viii enly yield
to the steady adherence Of the people and
to the dissolving effect of time.
