that the article in the Chronicle AVID
Sentinel newspaper Of Augusta

TO be sreport BY me, as the substance
of what, | said had occurred at the
Fortress Monroe Conference between
Mr.. Lincoln and the Confederate
States Commissioners, &C., was utter
ly unfoundcd. II appeared while !
was a prisoner At Fort Warren. l
saw il published in the New York
ssd other papers, and requested per.
mission Of Maj, Allen, who com
manded n the Fort II the time, to
make a public denial Of its authen-
tisity through the press this per
mission wss not given, and that pub.
liestion was made without my au-
thority or knowledge. II contained
sone facts that did occur 1t the Co.'S
ference, bat so mixed with Srcss er-
rors ss to make even the faets con.

All this pothcr about "the present Excise

since the Federal Constitution was adopted.
These German gentlemen seek TO upset the
immemoral legislation of our State, rs they
have a perfect right to do. But why not meet
the issue fairlyf
These gentlemen say:
"EGGh: The moral aims OF a law providing for the

II seems to us but modest to presume that our
fathers who made our Constitutions, State and
Federal, and our Sunday and Excise laws as
well, understood their own wants and their
work, quite as well as our German friends
understand them.
We freely conccde the right to every one
TO question, to crticise, and to suggest inn

friends can carry majority of the People,
they will have the laws changed rs they wish,
and we shall conform TO them as good citizens.
Until then we respectfully suggest that defer

commendablc. And we think no fairer plat
form can bc devised than that which allows
every Republican to favor such Excise and
Sunday laws as shall, in his enforced Judgment,
be most conducive to the public good

The Monitcur, in its issue of the day before
yesterday. fully confirms the report which We
gave Yesterday of the end of the Roman reyo-
luton. France threatened Italy not only with
sending feet to Rome but with marching an
army across the Alps into the heart of Italy.
Thon Victor Emmanuel yielded, and gave the
dcmandcd pledge to protect the Temporal
Power So far, the triumph of France is COM
pletc. But Garbald is again in Italy. Ciadini
has been unable to form Ministry, the popu-
lar agitation in every part of Italy is on the
increase, and violent demonstrations are taking
place both against France and the Govern
ment of Victor Emmanuel. All this will not,
for the present avert the failure of the Roman
revolution; but it will lead to a reconstruction
of political parties in Italy and to the rapid
spread of anti-French and republican senti-

We have the extraordinary statement from
Charleston that Mr.. Romero has been kept wait

in which our Government had offered to convey
him to Mexico, and it will probably be neces-

passage by one Of the regular steamers. 1t is
cause for shame that the United States should
be guilty of such gross discourtesy. Mr.. Ro-
