The evacuation, when it came, was terri
BILE mistake; IL was logically inevitable, but II
added to the bitterness bred by Mexico ana
Prussia. II was very fine, but 1t was not judi
cious, and IL is difficult to avoid believing that
the opportunity which now offers itself of re-
tracing his steps is eagerly welcomed by the
Emperor. The faults of his policy with regard
to Italy, from the French point of view, were,
of course, aggravated intensely by the part
which Italy played in the campaign of SadOwa.
Italy aiding Prussia to win that battle was a
spectacle which sent the iron into the soul of
nine Frenchmen out of ten. We say 1t with
regret but it must be said that there is proba-
bly, nothing Louis Napoleon could now do
which would be more gratifying to the French
public than to arrest further development of
the Italian kingdom by the French arms, and
arrest it, if possible, in defiance of Prussia
II is of course still within the bounds of pos
sibility that Victor Emanuel has an under
standing with the Emperor on the Roman
question, and that when the proper moment
for the d6ROuement has come, the actors will
group themselves in the appointed way on the
stage, and the play end in the surrender of
Rome to Victor Emanuel with the blessing Of
'the eldest son of the Church." But it is
difficult to discover anything in the manifesto
tiens of French opinion, or in the history of
the Italian imbroglio, to lead us to expect any
such result. 1t does not necessarily follow,
however, that French troops will again go to
Rome. 1t is even believed in Paris that NOR
tai blows may be struck at the Italian king
dom without landing any troops in Italy at all.
A fleet which would cut communication with
Sicily would, it is said, precipitate a revolt in
that island and in Naples, and thus undo, at
one blow, Garibaldi's work in 1860, and give
the Italian army other occupation than upset
ting the Papacy.
But for all that the Papacy, as a temporal
power, is doomed. The forces of the age are
fighting against it and bent on its destruction,
and all the men in France could not now save
it. The history of the last twenty years is a
magnificent demonstration OF the triumph of
ideas over armies. They have left no political
relic of the middle ages now standing in
Europe except the Papaoy, and the hour of the
Papacy has come. Bad as it is and has been,
nobody can well witness its fall without emo
ton. 1t has been in its day great witness for
right against might, for moral against physical
force and it derives additional and almost as
strong a claim to interest from the fact that
with It disappears the last trace of the organi-
zing genius of Rome.

head. But the end is not yet. The aspira-
tions Of the Italians cannot be long sup
pressed. II the King will not march with
them they will leave him behind, wrecked on
the shoals of his own weakness and want of
foresight. He might control the revolution
and establish the monarchy on a liberal basis
with a united Italy, but he will not be able
long to arrest its progress.

New PerIIs-JoH. Davis Again ON tn,
Rampage.

From The N. Y. Times
We fear that the country has not received
with sufficient gravity Mr.. Forneys alarming
news that JEFF. Davis, Toombs, Breckenridge,
and Thompson are busily engaged in plotting
another Southern rebellion.
It was the same Forney who few weeks
ago sounded the alarm in reference to the
quite horrid designs of the awful Maryland
militia; and in cooperating with him to en-
tighten the country as to the real character
of that orgsHnS5'iCn, go5 & we ha9 hoPed that "a aiter

rest for time from our struggles in the
way of saving the Government from the plots
of grey-coated traitors and grey-eyed con-
spirators.
But already we are again startled with the
cry OF danger; and therefore we shall now
make up our minds to spend the rest of our
lives in armor, always prepared for the fray
and ever on the alert for the appearance of the
enemy, who, we had thought was hung,
drawn, quartered, and buried in a bottomless
grave two years ago.
There is no sleep for loyal men hencefor
ward. To be moment off the watch-tower
may result in the enemy getting possession of
the citadel, and even to wink single eye may
cost us a life which can never be resumed
except by defunct traitors.
We know of but one consolation in the
sleepless watchful, and vigilant existence
which we feel we must henceforth lead-that
is, the company we shall constantly enjoy.
If we are faithful to duty we shall enjoy, by
day and by night, in foul weather and fair,
the inestimable privilege of keeping step with
the bold sentinel who has so often called his
fellow-countrymen to arms since Lee sur
rendered his sword, and who now again gives
warning that the arch conspirator is pre-
pairing to summon his hosts from their
graves, to give battle for a cause which lies
buried beneath the trenches in which their
bones are piled. We know that while we
lOllOW MS guidance we Will never pe uerellCL
in duty; while copy his example, we will
always be sure of our loyal watchfulness.
When he sees a bush stir, we will suspect an
advancing foe; when he descries a figure
stealthily approaching, we will be certain the
enemy is there; when he gives warning, we
will shout danger; when he utters the alarm,
we will sound a blast that may be
heard round the world; when he seizes
gun, we will rush to cannon; and
when he fires grapeshot all around, we
win hurl hundred-pound balls at the enemy's
head.
Thus we shall be sure that we are always
right; and even if it should turn out, after the
hullabaloo is over, that it was all false alarm,
we shall still be able to save ourselves from
being ridiculous by getting up another uproar
and panic still wilder than those which have
just blown over.
We utter our warning, therefore, loud as
we can roar, that JEFF. Davis is at the gates
that ToOmbs is on the walls-that Breol1in.

do his duty, we shall report the delinquency

once place the troops and the Treasury at the
command of Colonel Forney.

IL Is 700 early, as yet, for stocks in store to
have any important significance The neces-
sary accumulation for the winter, when inland
navigation is suspended, does not commsnce
much before the LIST of November.
We are now having large export demand
for wheat. OF the increased receipts at the
Western markets, more than one-third has
been exported from this port and the balance
of the increase has been absorbed en- route
But it would now appear that the intervening
markets are pretty well stocked up, for the
quantity to come forward TO tide-water has
largely increased latterly.
Corn occupies a somewhat anomalous posi-
tion. 1t is the only crop of which we have
heard any complaint of the yield. 1t un-
doubtedly did suffer some from drought in
August. But the weather has since been
quite in its favor-so much so, that new
Western corn may be suitable for market this
autumn. The receipts at the Western mar
kets are now larger than last year. The guam
tity on the canal for tide-water last Saturday
was 1,527, 900 bushels, against 929, 900 bushels
at the same date last year. The export de-
mand has entirely ceased; and yet, with gold
five per cent. lower, the price in this market
is thirty cents per bushel higher than one
year ago. Besides, the South promises us
considerable supplies and no important de-
mand during the coming winter. large de-
mand for rye from Germany is probable.
Late mail advices from Berlin speak OF the sale
there of half a million bushels of American
rye, to be delivered at Hamburg. Thus an
active and, except in single staple, pros
porous trade in grain seems to have COM
menced with the Western people.

The abundant quantity and excellent quality
ofthe cereals grown in the United States dur
ing the past season are now facts placed
beyond dispute. The movement of flour and
grain over the upper lakes promises, during
the month of October, to exceed all precedent,
and the quality of the grain now being mar
keted affords much satisfaction to all branches
of the trade
The receipts of flour and grain at Chicago

seven weeks, ending October Is, and the cor

MIR. JAY COOKIES LETTER.

Etc. Etc.
MR.. JAY COOKIES LETTER.
From the Ne,Oark Advertiser, 24Sh-ReoubIican.
This letter of Mr.. Cookies ought to be final
answer to that remarkable school OF tnanCiers,
led off by Pendleton and Butler, who have pro-
posed the great outrage of practical reputation
by using greenbacks TO pay the national debt,
and the useless and dangerous experiment of
breaking down banking system which has no
equal in the world or in history for convenience,
uniformity and security. Without these banks
we should be compelled to go back 10 the old
chaotic condition, where every State had diff
feIent system, and where the value of partcu-
lar bank note was problem in every CONNER
cial transaction only TO be solved by reference
to a "detector," or by a journey to brokers' or
a bankers office to consult an expert.
From the NelO York Tribune, 25tt-RepublicaR
The letter of Mr.. Jay Cooke on the National
Banking system states facts which, unless the
statements themselves can be shown to be false,
amount to q conclusive demonstration that the
National Banking system is far better than
either the old State banks or any device which
MIR. Pendleton and his set have proposed as
| substitute.
II we have any doubts relative to the perfec-
| tion of the National Banking system, they are
| directed towards points not covered by Mr.. Jay
| Cookies letter. We have doubts whether sys-
| tenn which allows corporation to issue paper
| dollar upon depositing Government bonds worth
only siXty-eight cents in gold, does not tend to
delay rather than to aid a return to specie pay
| limiting to $500, 900, 900 the number Of these
! paper dollars Issued on basis of 6S cents, the
| currency of the country would go up like bal
! loon, when the cable Is cut, into the highest
! heavens of imitation.
But, though this Limitation lessons the ouan.
tity, il does not otherwise add to the value of
the paper currency which may be actually is,
sued on this inadequate basis We venture to
entertain doubt whether it would not be bet
ter to require the banks to deposit bonds worth
In gold $llO as security tor every dollar OF
paper issued, and reserve worth in gold
twenty-five per cent. of the amount Of deposits
This would be planting the National Bank cur
rency, If not on gold, at least on basis worth
gold, 10 the amount of the currency, and ten
per cent. over. With this amount OF security,
or as nearly this as the bankers would stand,
in the hands OF the Government, Congress
might safely repeal the $500, 900, 900 Limitation
altogether, and allow as many banks to issue as
much currency on these conditions as mlgnt
choose to do so.
This would be substituting specie basis for
one OF deprecated promises, natural, sell
adjusting limit to the circulation instead OF
castiron and wholly arbitrary one, and sys
tenn OF free and yet sale banking for mono
poly which cannot be invaded, and which puts
up securities worth less in gold than the face
OF the promises based on them. We cannot
conceive that any institution which can issue

margin of 10 per cent, 75) cents in cold AZ
security, can favor or otherwise than hinder a
