MINERAL WELL NEAR CHARLOTTE. =
The Charlotte Times, of Monday,
says:
Within mile and half Of this
city, has been discovered, on the pro-
pcrty of MIR. George Cross, mineral
well, the water Of which possesses
medicinal qualities that renders it of
immense value to invalids suffering
from any of the various phases Of
constitutional weakness Though the
water has been but recently disco
ycred, as Il. my as eighty persons a
day have visited the well and drank
the health. wing draught.
Within the area Of five miles of
this city, it is we'll known that mine
rails Of fabulous wealth abound, and,
in addition thereto, this source of
health has been discovered.
Mr.. Cross, crippled by the war, is
not able to improve his valuable pro
pcrty so as to accommodate the num-
Der who desire to use the water, and
therefore offers it for sale at price
which makes it one of the surcst in
vestmonts the county affords.

The BRITISH NAvY-A very for
mldable increase to the British navy
has been ordered, and is now in pro
cess of execution. This need not be
looked upon as q sign of premcdi-
tated hostility on the part of Eng
land, nor as an augury of European
wars 1t has always been the policy
of England to make her naval equip
n.ent as complete rs possible; and the
light thrown on the science Of naval
warfare by the late American accom-
plishmcnts. stimulated the English
Government to very elaborate inves-
legations and costly experiments, the
result Of which they are now alb b1ut
to put in practice by extensive addi-
tlons to their naval armament. At
the same time that they arc bringing
their navy up to the modern stand
ard, 1t must be remembered that a
large portion Of their old naval mate
rial has become obsolete and useless,
s" that their relative strength, com
pared with other nations, will remain
nearly as before. The policy Of Eng
land IS peace, and it follows the old
maxim, that peace is best secured by
thorough preparation for war.

Tuesday Morning, January22, 1867.
Equality a Humbug.

The party now ia power, are eter-
nally prating about the equality of
the races, but their action is not con-
sistent with their hypocritical clamor.
Soon after the passage of the suffrage
bill for the District of Columbia, n
petition, nnmerously signed by the
citizens proper of the District, was
sent to Congress, asking that all
whites Of the Caucasian race, who are
either citizens or have declared their
intention to become citizens of the
United States, be put upon the same
footing with the negroes, and have
extended to them the same rights
and privileges enjoyed by the latter
The petition was daily presented
and referred to the committee of
both Houses. On the 10th, the chair
man of the House committee report
ed against the memorial Of the white
people, asking simply to be put on
the same footing with the negroes.
The Senate committee will doubtless
make the same report.
Why this unjust discrimination
against the foreign-born citizen, we
cannot comprehend. Many of that
class fought manfully for the Union
and many fell in defending the old
flag, but yet the unnaturalized
among them are reduced below the
negro in one OF the most important
privileges Of citizenship. There can
be no question but that many of the
radical leaders represent the very
men they thus degrade and keep in
a state Of disfranchisement. They
might use the argument, that the
Constitution requires foreigners to
become citizens before they can ex
ercise the privilege OF voting; but
that argument fails, for the same
Constitution does not invest the
negroes with the right. All their
constitutional amendments, every
measure that is designed to affect the
South, are based upon the plea of
equal suffrage, its justice and ncces-
sity; and Yet, while all these mca-
sures of every kind look to the en-
reimbursement Of the negro, they
deny the right of voting to a foreign
born white man, be he ever so intel
iigent, OF what his claims may be as a
good and useful citizen. Such is
radical consistency and such the
canting hypocrisy of Thad Stevens
and his followers.

The Pope's Address to the Cardinals.

At the reception of the Cardinals
and Pontifcate authorities on Christ
mas day, Plus TX improvised an en-
ergetic reply to an address of To-
votedness read to him:
First of all, he thanked the Cardi-
nails for their congratulations and the
attachment which they had shown for
him personally. He said that in the
times in which he found himself, he
derived q powerful encouragement
from seeing himself surrounded by
the affections and counsels of the ST.
cred College. Replying to the OBJ
servations of Cardinal Pririzi, who
had been Spokesman, nc added that
he was tranquil because he knew that
IN the present struggle he defended
the cause of God and Of the Church,
and therefore he relied on the assist
ance of the Lord. He said, with the
Prophet David 1.-The Lord is my
light, the protector Of my life; whom
shall 1 fear?"
His Holiness afterwards said that
it was necessary to b" prepared for
ALTO endure every persecution.
He also observed that few days be-
fore he had received letters from tho
Corea relative to the deaths which
several missionaries have suffered in
that country; only two of them were
successful IN escaping from the fero-
city of their prosecutors, and it was
they who forwarded to Rome the mar
rative of the martyrdoin Of their col
leagues. The Pope expressed opinion
that it was necessary to be ready to
suffer everything for the church,
which, nowadays, is prosecuted in
Europe by deceptions, seductions,
lying promises and by unjust demands
and exactions. Certain persons, by
the aid Of rare diplomatic skill, arc
putting forward great assurances to
induce the Holy See to make conccs-
sions.
These people act Us the devi! did,
when he tempted Christ on the noun
tain, showing Him all the kingdoms
of the world, and saying he would
give Him them if He would fall down
and worship him. AS for us, said
his Holiness, we shall not allow our
selves to be seduced by such proceed
ings. Others come with the olive
branch of peace, but require that
their viii should be submitted to.
Well, we shall always continue to re-
ject false offers and repcl everything
that is contrary to the principles of
Justice, to the good Of the Church
and the dignity of the Holy See. We
desire peace, but 4 peace that should
not be offensive to the honor Of God
and Of His religion

REMARKABLE STEADINEsS OF FIVE
IwENTIEs IN ECRoPE.-It must be
considered somewhat surprising that
the impeachment matter has had
such an extremely small effect upon
our credit and upon the price of our
bonds in Europe. The circum-
stances were known there about as
soon as they transpired here, and we
Judge by our cable dispatches that
the London journals have discussed
them very generally. And yet, dur
ing the week in which the matter has
been before Congress, five-twenties
in London have only fallen a fraction
OF one per cent. from the highest
point which they have reached. In
fact, they are now higher than they
were before the meeting of Congress
higher by two per cent; and the
advance which took place after the
receipt Of Secretary McCullough's S re-
port has hardly suffered q check. 1t
seems, also, by Washington de-
spatch, Of this morning, that instead
of those bonds being sent back here
from Europe, as reported, the de-
mand for them on foreign account
during the past week has been quite
active. We suppose that this steadi-
ness is mainly owing to the fact that
it is not believed in Europe the i'm

The American Iron and Steel AS
sociation is now holding its annual

manufacturers and Wholesale dealers
engaged in the iron trade through
out the country, and at this meeting
nearly all the States are represented.
The annual report vas presented,
which embraces large amount of
statistical information. The manu-
factllrers generally report the trade
as depressed, owing to their inability
to compete with foreign manufactu-
rers, the present tariff laws operating
against their interest A public
meeting was held tonight at Masonic
Hall, at which many members of
Congress were present. Remarks
were made by Horace Greeley, Com
missioner Wells, Representatives,
Kelley, Hale, Dodge, Griswold, and
others in advocacy Of the protection
of home industry. Resolutions were
adopted favoring a higher protective
tariff, deprecating the low rates of
the existing duties and opposing
strenuously the reduction Of wages
to the standard Of European labor
ers in the same interest.

- Comprehensive Political ,Eeasure

"a Comprehensive Political Measure.
We copy below short article from
the New York Times, upon the bills
recently passed by Congress for the
admission of Colorado and Nebraska.
The reader can make his own COM
ments and conclusions:
The comprehensive measure which
was SO promptly passed through both
Houses of Congress, on Thursday,
providing for securing the equal civil
and political rights of all races Of men
in all the Territories Of the United
States, will do away with the neces-
sity of such special legislation as has
occupied so much time in connection
with the bills admitting Nebraska and
Colorado. The act explicitly provides
that there shall be no denial OF elect
i've franchise to any citizen in any
Territory Of the United States, con
account OF race, color, or previous
condition of servitude;'' and as it
passed the Senate by more than &
two-thirds majority, and the House
by party vote, 4 Presidential veto,
if it should be offered, will have no
effect in preventing the enactment or
enforcement Of the law. The mea-
sure, moreover, rs applied to the new
mineral Territories Of the far West,
will preclude the possibility OF such
legislation as exists in California and
Nevada III reference to race likely to
be far more important there, in the
course of time, than the negroes-we
mean the Chinese The Chinaman
who, landing on the Pacific coast, is
now moving eastward toward the
Rocky Mountains, is denied political
rights in all the localities in which he
has settled; and the prejudice against
the yellow man, III this respect, is
much stronger than against the black
man. There are now in the Nevada
mountains alone some 10, 900 Chinese
laborers, engaged in building the Pa
ciic Railroad; ;and though, as ageneral
thing, the immigrants of this race
exhibit no anxiety to become citizens,
yet, in time, they will doubtless come
to appreciate the privilege. The yell
low race is also penetrating into the
great Territories of Idaho, Dacotah
and Washington in considerable num-
bers, and bids fair, in twenty years.
to form a very important part Of the
population. There is doubt that,
everywhere, the white inhabitants
would oppose their enjoyment of po-
iitlcal rights. But this comprehcn-
sive measure which has just passed
Congress prevents the exercise of
such prejudices, and will doubtless
save q world of trouble about the
question in future.
