SHERIDAN.

The Chicago Times, in allusion to the
district commanders, says: There are
five district commanders. Only three
were thanked Why was thisP Why
was "the gallant Phil. Sheridan, the
iudicious and patriotic Phil. Sheridan,
who has done more towards carrying out
the intentions of Congress in the pas
sage of the military bills" than all the
other district commanders, forgotten
He has " felt like" carrying out 1.-THE
intentions of Congress" and certainly
his acts have happily corresponded with
his feelings. The Radical press has
exhausted the vocabulary Of eulogy in
commencing him. If the Radicals are
the people, there is no man in the nation
for whom the people feel more profound
and tender gratitude. Why did not
Congress give expression to this senti-
ment? After all Sheridans treachery
to former political professions and asso-
ciates; his prostitution of himself in
carrying out 1.-THE intentions of Con-
gress;" his unnecessary debasement of
himself to prove his zeal in the cause, it
was the double distilled oil of ingrati-
tude in Congress to refuse TO thank him.
He has proved himself SO mean that the
men whose creature he is despise him.

Belshazzar in Paris.

Abiding to the grand ceremonies at
the Paris Exposition, on the occasion OF
the Emperor distribution of the prizes,
the New York Tribune says:
One curious incident that occurred
just at this moment the cable, doubtless
for fear Of injuring the harmony of the
narrative, omits to mention. When Mr..
Hughes, the inventor of the printing
telegraph, was called.up to receive his
prize, the Emperor took his hand, making
him an exception to all the other recipi-
ents of medals. Mr.. Hughes, as he
touched the Imperial finger, slipped into
the august palm of his serene Highness
little bit of paper containing the last
message received by the cable and printed
by the machine for which he was just
being decorated. 1t contained these
words: Macmillan is shot. His last
words were, Poor Carlotta )" His
Royal Serenity read the telegram, and
Immediately gave evidence of fearful
agitation. His cheek blanched, his
hands trembled, and the diamonds on the
Imperial garter quivered so in the sun
light that shout arose from the admir-
ing multitude. What the Emperor
thought is, of course, not to be exactly
known. But we may conjecture that he
heard over all the shouts and music,
above the booming of guns and the
salvos of artillery, the single shot
that was death to his insane ambi-
ton as to his deluded dupe, the
single cry as of woman-yonng, beau
tiful and good-answering to the last
cry of her young husband: " Poor Car.
lotta |" Poor Maximilian-l" " = 4"
That shot he shall forever hear, and that
cry. His judgment day is come, and all
the pomp and splendor that he can
gather about him shall not avail to hide

HOPE DEFERRED.

The Louisville Courier says: " In the
event of the final rejection of the Ken
lucky members, or part of them, by the
Jacobin Congress- contingency we dc
not at all anticipate-tHe duty of our
people will be clear and unmistakable.
No constitutional or valid reason exist.
ing for their exclusion, the same gentle
men should, by all means, be returned q
second time. If again rejected, our
people will owe it to themselves still
again TO re.elect them, and to continue
SO to do until the North shall elect a
national Congress, and one that recog.
mixes the right of representation and the
obligations of an oath.

Is Napoleon Bullet Proof!

Here is one of the latest items of the
sensational gossip of Paris
In connection with the attempt of the
9Th of June all sorts of extraordinary
stories have been set ahoat Not the
least of these is a very remarkable one,
published in one Of the provincial pa
pers. 1t is prefaced by the statement
that while the Gear was in Paris it was,
through the delicacy of the Emperor,
kept profound secret, butnow he is gone
there is no longer aay necessity for this
The statement then continues as follows:
Zone of the projectles intended to cut
short the days of Alexander ii hit Ma
poleon III, and it was only by kind of
miracle that the life of our Sovereign
was preserved. Instead of making a
penetrating wound the lead only pro-
duced q sort of confusion just over the
heart. This is what we are told by a
we'll informed person" All of which, if
there is in it word of truth, which there
probably is net, proves, and only proves,
that the Emperor Napoleon, when he
rides abroad, adopts the wise precau-
ton of wearing a small shirt Of mail,
or something of that kind, as a protec-
ton. Otherwise it would require some
thing more even than "kind of mira
Gle" to cause ball fred from pistol at
a distance of two or three feet to satisfy
itself with simply causing confusion"
over o mans Iheart Still, it is by no
means improbable, and has been often
stated, that Napoleon does wear a pro-
lection of this nature, and his crab-like,
awkward movements in walking would
appear TO give some consistency to the
assertion.

FOREIGN.

LONDON, July 9.-In the House Of
Lords Earl Derby denounced the action
of the Mexican Government in putting
Macmillan to death, but made no dis.
closures as to what measures the Govern.
ment intends to adopt in regard to
Mexico.
The Sultan of Turkey has accepted an
invitation from the Emperor of Austria
to visit him in Vienna on his return to
Constantinople by way of Vienna, and
will remain a week as the guest of the
Emperor. The Emperor has at last de-
cided to visit Paris during September.
LIVERPOOL, July 9.-Messrs. Bond q
Baber and Miller & Lanthal, largely en-
gagged in the Brazilian trade, have sus-
pended payment
BERLIN, July 9.-The arrangements
have been perfected for the conference
between the King of Prussia and the
Sovereigns of the Southern German
States to take place soon.

RECONSTRUCTION.

The Louisville Courier says: "The
question of reconstruction is calling
forth opinions and comments from most
of the old leaders in the South, many Of
whom held rank in the civil and military
service of the Confederacy. The last
illusions are from General Barksdale
and Governor Perry. The former, like
Longstreet, JEFF. Thompson and others,
favors reconstruction as rapidly as pos
sible; while the latter, B. H. Hill, Of
Georgia, and others, opposes reconstruc-
ton under the law, and votes for no
convention. 1t is noticeable fact that
old soldiers and old politicians are rank
ing themselves on opposite sides of the
question.

GEN. THOs. F. MEAGHER DEAD.
Drowned at Virginia City.

The following dispatch is from Vir-
ginia City, Montana Territory, dated
July 8:
General Thomas Francis Meagher,
Secretary, and acting Governor of this
Territory, accidentally fell from the
steamer Thompson, at Fort Benton, on
the evening of the LIST inst, and was
drowned He had been absent for the
past fortnight on public business, and
had succeeded in procuring arms for the
troops engaged in the defense Of the ter.
ritory and ,transacting other public bust
ness in our public exigencies. His
death is greatly lamented, and the public
demonstrations in honor of his dis
tinguished character and services are
generally felt. At last accounts his re.
mains had not been found, the darkness
of the night and the rapidity of the cur
rent preventing any rescue.
1t will be remembered that General
Meagher was one of the Irish leaders,
exiled by the English with Smith 0'Brien
and Mitchell. He escaped to this coun-
try, where his career has been active and
creditable to his talents and acquire
ments. He was Of amiable disposition
and cheerful mind. During the war
General Meagher commanded the famous
Irish Brigade, recruited in New York /;
and at Gaines Mills, Antietam, and, in
fact throughout the campaigns of the
Army of the Potomac, he won a reputa-
ton for gallantry. Soon after the com
mencement of the rebellion, he obtained
n commission as Briradier General. and
serving with distinction to the end, was
appointed Secretary Of Montana some
thing over year ago. Lately he has
been acting Governor of that Territory,
ard has been actively engaged in organ
izing volunteers for service against the
Indians

aud Princess Christian, Princess Louise,
Prince Teek, Prince and Princess Ed

In Glitter" Cory last issue of The
West and South, we find the following
characteristic letter from Hon. Robert
Toombs, of Georgia. AS we presume
business has been dull with him since
his return from Europe, we trust the can
wasting agency he has undertaken for
the West and South may prove profit
able:
WASHINGTON, Ga, June 10, 1861.
NJ Dear Sir: Your letter Of the 9th

sence from home. Having but recently

After the reception of yours Of the 9Th

greatest pleasure the position to which

to promote, establish aud vitalize
those principles. The first Kentucky

to day as was thirty years ago, when |
entered public life as nulli6er, ito
spend and be spent in the sacred cause;
and if my sacrifices Of all sorts bad been
a thousand times more than they have
been, should consider them well spent
for q lost cause, rather than accept
any other Interpretation Of the American
Constitution.
] therefore accept any man as q
brother, in peace or war, who will
honestly stand by and defend them. !
will be with him as long az the weakness
Of humanity will enable me TO stand by

sink or swim, survive or perish, | am
with the West and South for the main
tenancs Of the Cincinnati platform Of
April 18th.
/ will take immediate measures 10
organize the State Of Georgia on that
basis, and viii urge the true men Of the
(so-called) ten rebel States to fall into

view Of beginning the organization in
Georgia and enlarging your subscription,
