SOUTHERN UFACrUREs.-The
Knoxville Commercial says we were
yesterday shown two pieces of jeans
at the new factory, adjoining the
Franklin House, that surpasses in
fineness any we ever before saw.
This cloth was woven on one Of
those new looms that are operating
there. There is most encouraging
fact in thisparagraph. A Knoxville
factory makes the finest jeans at the
first trial. Formerly, when goods
were wrought by hand work alone.
it took many years to qualify peo-
pie for excellence in any fabric. Now
that manufactures are made by ma
chinery, the fabric is made as per-
fectly at first as afterwards, and the
article produced at Knoxville, from q
machine imported from Philadelphia,
is precisely the same as if the ma
chine had been set up in Cham.
bersburg.

The Post Office Department has
simply agreed on Il preliminary basis
for p postal treaty with Great Britain.
The articles, therefore, remain to be
formally executed, and the time fixed
for its operation. 1t is expected the
treaty will be in full force by or be-
fore January, 1868, at which time the
present postal treaty between the
United States and Great Britain will
expire by limitation. The paragraph
recently published, stating that new
treaty had been negotiated, is calcu-
lated to mislead, and hence this ex-
planatory statement.
An order has been issued by the
Navy Department regulating the en-
listment of boys as naval apprentices
or into the naval service, requiring
fathers, mothers or guardians, as the
case may be, desiring to enter their
sons or wards, to take oath to the
fact of such relationship or custody;
and III the case of the mother, to
swear that her husband is dead; and
of guardians, evidence that both pa
rents are deceased.

National Constitutional Convention.

National Constitutional Convention.
The Southern papers are discuss
ing proposition made by the Lou.
isville Courier, to hold National
Convention, to be held in Washing
ton at an early day, for the purpose
of endeavoring to settle the differ
ences between the two sections, by
amending the Constitution. AS re-
CARDS this proposal coming from the
Southern States. as suggested by the
Courier, the Macon JommM says:
"The Southern States, we doubt
not, would very cheerfully sanction
and cooperate in such q convention.
Their political condition cannot we'll
be worsted, and might possibly be
improved. But the very proposition
itself, coming from the South, would
be held as q piece Of impudence and
presumption by the Northern States,
and infame the animosity Of that
section. Nothing seems to be more
offensive to the North than the evi-
dence of any desire by the people of
the South to assist in shaping the
legislation of the country, save in
manner and form as prescribed by the
radical party. y constitutional con-
vention, in which the Southern States
should exercise IN independent voli-
ton, would, we believe, be not only Il
very unacceptable, but, coming from
the Southern States, very offensive
proposition. Let the friends Of the
movement, therefore, first secure the
Endorsement of the Northern States.
II that can be obtained, the South, we
believe, would gladly go into the
movement"
We believe the Journal is nearly
right, and besides, unless the people
of the other section have recently and
rapidly changed their political opin-
ions, such convention would be as
adverse to the South, though perhaps
not quite SO intensely radical as Con-
UreSS

Policy AS TO Mexico. The CORES
pondent OF the New York Herald
writes:
Sufficient information has escaped
from the usually close portfolios of
the Government, to establish the fact
that the policy of the Administration
in its present interference in Mexican
affairs is not at all what it seems to
be. 1t is now ascertained without a
doubt that the object of the Admi-
nistration is not to exercise u pro-
tectorate over Mexico, but simply to
make an alliance offensive and de-
fensive with Juarez. Certain we'll
informed parties here assert that the
grant of Lower California to Ameri-
can parties is the motive power of
the whole affair"

FRANCE AND THE UNITED STATES.

FRANCE AND THE UNITED STATES. =
A despatch from Washington says
the threatened difficulty or misunder-
standing between our Government
and the Emperor Of the French, in
view of what has transpired in the
last three or four days, is now con
sidered in official circles effectually at
an end. The despatch adds:
cit may be stated also that Count
Montholon, the French Minister, has
officially notified our Government
that vessels have been ordered off to
Mexico for the purpose of transport
ing all the French troops from Mexi-
co during next month. Bazaine has
written y private letter to Montholon,
expressing his disgust at the state Of
affairs in Mexico, and that he anxious
ly awaits the arrival of General
Sherman, to whom he desires to sur
render his trust. The abdication of
Maximilian is fixed fact, if it has
not already been accomplished, and
the announcement of his arrival at
Havana is momentarily expected"

COLUMBIA.
Thursday Morning, December 8, 1856
Raslicnlisnn Rampant.

The two days proceedings of Con-
gress, which we have received by
telegraph, are sufficient to indicate
the tone and temper of that body
towards the South. The recent cleo
tions, in their result, giving the party
triumph, it appears, has added ten
fold to their bitterness, and shows
that there is no hope for the country
so long as that party maintains the
ascendancy. Every motion, and every
bill introduced thus far, and the votes
on reference, appear to show conC-u
sively, that the whole body of the
Republican party has become radi
cal, in the most radical sense of the
term-radical in it's policy towards
the excluded States of the Union,
and radical in its general policy to
the extent of wiping out ten States of
the Union, thereby driving from its
federation many Of its original mem
bers.
By vote of 1O7 to 81, the House
of Representatives has instructed its
Committee on Territories to inquire
into the propriety of extending terri
torial organization over the States
recently in rebellion This is no.
thing but the destruction of the
Union by a mere faction, which has
acquired, by false pretences, fraud
and violated promises, supremacy
in the Central Government, and now
seeks to put its heel on the necks of
a PROSTATE people. They deceived
the Northern masses into the war by
the most bare-faced false pretences,
declaring that it was not for con-
quest, but for "the Union," they
were fighting; that it was for the
dear 'told flag they were called to
rally around. But no sooner did
they get into power than they threw
off the disguise to some extent, and
their policy having, by artifce,
bribery and corruption, been recently
endorsed by popular vote, they
have become rampant and defiant,
and threaten the Southern States
with extinction.
What next? No man can tell. It
is possible-nay, probable-that if
the Territorial Committee report, as
the result of their inquiries, that the
Southern States ought to have terri
torial governments, bill will pass
the House to that effect; bnt that
outrageous legislation would be in
defiance of the Constitution, which
gives no power to destroy sovereign
States, or to reduce sthem from their
status as such. This resolution may
have been introduced to frighten
some timid Southern State into rati-
flying the amendment, or the vote on
its reference to exhibit the strength
of the party; but other measures in
troduced all look to the complete
subiugation of the South. We must
watch and wait.
