THE EMPRESS. Anna Cora
Richie, the London correspondent
of the New York Ne,rs, mentions the
following about the Empress Eugenic:
The Emperor Napoleon has been
urged to institute decor alton which
should be given exclusively to wo-
men for acts of courage, devotedness,
or charity. It is hoped that the order
will be called Eugene The noble
conduct of the Empress, who walks
SO fearlessly among the cholera
stricken patients in France, and bears
healing balm With the stimulus of
her presence, deserves that her name
should descend to posterity, attached
to such an order
popular quarter of the city, followed
by crowd, who grasped at her
clothes in their enthusiasm, and
actually tore her muslin dress. The
bits were struggled for by the crowd
every one wanted to secure, as n
relic, G shred of the garment worn by
the Providence blonde" The EN-
press only smiled and allowed the de-
struction.
The Empress also visited the House
of Correction, for juvenile offenders,
at Nancy, and talked to The youthful
culprits, who wept at her kindness.
In the afternoon the prefect pre- sent
ed $50 of the ladies of Nancy, while
the Prince Imperial received their
children, whom he invited to luncheon
the next day.
On her return to Paris, the EN-
press was received in the heartiest
manner by an immense crowd, which
had gathered ut the station. The
Emperor passed through tho throng,
and himself opened the door of the
saloon carriage, lifted out the Prince
Imperial, and kissed him repeatedly.
He then handed out the Empress, and
took off his hat as he embraced her.
The Empress wore O. dress of pink
and white str;rel silk, looped over q
petticoat of tho same, black silk man
telet, and q white bonnet. AS usual.
the Prince wore suit of brown hol-

which must be great relief. The
ground, however, has been saturated.
The promise of the corn crop in
Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky and in
the Northwest is very fine. The
wheat crop has turned out rather
better than was expected. It is of
good quality. though not abundant in
quantity. Cheap bread we may not
have through our wheat crop, but we
may hope for it through our abun-
dant supply of Indian corn.
Corn means not only bread anI

The tobacco crop of Virginia and
North Carolina for the present year
is estimated at $4,000 hogsheads, but

should largely overrun this estimate.
and approximate more nearly to the

From Washingtosa.

The correspondent of the Balti-
more Sun writes:
Sundry radical presses are pre- sent
ing their several campaign phases. It
will be seen that they contemplate a
struggle which, as they say, will pro
duce civil war in all the Northern
and Western States" If they do not
win, this war, they say, is inevitable.
They claim that they have every loyal
free State of 1860, and West Virginia
and Missouri besides. They do not
claim Maryland nor Delaware. When,
by virtue of their scheme for remov-
ing the President, they can command
the military power of the country,
they will assert their claims to Ten
nessee and Louisiana and other South
ern States.
1t will soon be seen more distinctly
than ever that we have on hand war
between the Executive and the Legis-
lative branches of the Government.
1t is war which will admit of no
mediation, no truce and no negotia-
ton. A radical member of Congress
disclosed, In a published letter, at the
late session, that Congress must
crush the President, or the President
will crush Congress {"
The Southern Radical Convention
is to be held in Philadelphia on the

Queen Emma visited the President

was not because the guest was
Queen that this welcome was extend
ed, but because of her great merits
and good works, the fame of which
had preceded her. The cordial vel
come was extended on account of the
effects of the visit in the cause of hu-
manitya yand Christianity. If, said the
President, 1 was disposed to be face
tious, 1 should say that in this coun-
try all men are kings and all women
are queens. Our rulers derive their
power from the people, and, conse-
quently, all are royal. Therefore,
when you address any man or wo-
man in this country, you talk to roy
atty, to king or queen. In conclu-
sion, the President heartily welcomed
his guest. After engaging in CONVEX
sation for some moments, the roval
party retired.

IRELAND PRosPER1SG. edito-
rial correspondent Of the Albany Ar
yus takes very hopeful view of the
future of Ireland, rs follows:
"The progress among the people
in wealth and education is decided.
The Catholic University rivals the
Queens Colleges in giving instruc-
ton to the people, and the rudi-
ments Of learning are pretty generally
diffused. The rate of wages rises
steadily, food is cheap and album
dant, and the climate is free from
the extremes Of heat and cold that
tell with such severity upon the Ia
boring poor in our land. The con-
vlvlal habits of the better classes, for
which ireland was once famous, and
which the memoirs of Sir John Bar
rlnogton, and the hardly Jess histori-
cal stories of Lever, give us amusing
accounts, have given was to soberer
moods and less riotous life. The
teachings of Father Matthew have
made many disciples among the poor.
The records Of the police show less
disorder, and the assizes have fewer
crimes Of violence to pass upon.

The Philadelphia Convention


PH1nADEIPH1A, August 17.-Many
Of the delegates to the Convention
left last evening; the balance leave to-
day. The proceedings throughout
were most harmonious-not a single
event to mar the good feeling. The
address; but not the resolutions, was
written by Henry J. Raymond. tits
merely the resolutions elaborated
During its reading, for time, almost
breathless silence was preserved.
The President requested the dele
gates and spectators to manifest no
sign OF approval, or to make other
demonstrations, till the reading was
completed. This request secured
quiet, until the speaker arrived at the
following paragraph:
''And the 10000, 900 of Americans
who live in the South would be un-
worthy citizens of q free common
wealth, degenerate sons of an beroic
ancestry, unfit ever to become guard
lans of the rights and principles be-
queathed to as by the fathers and
founders of the republic, if they
could accept with uncomplaining sub
mission the humiliations thus sought
to be imposed upon them"
The entire audience then broke
forth in an unrestrained burst of ap.
piause, which lasted for several mi
nutes- At the conclusion Of this en-
thusiasm, a demand was made that
the paragraph quoted be read over
sgaln, which was assented to, and
again the applause broke forth with
redoubled effect. The press club
gave splendid banquet to the mem
bers Of the press last night, at which
radicals and Southerners fraternized,
and high hilarity prevailed.
