the tribune of the Chamber of Depu-
ties, on the occasion of the passage
of the bill for granting an indemnify
of a thousand millions of francs to
the French enligres: DO you know
that an equal number of minutes has
not elasped since the death of Jesus
Christ? p Although those words were
pronounced nearly halfa century ago,
we have not even yet attained the
amount. On the 35th of December
next, calculating twenty bissextile
years i'm every hundred, there will
only have passed 9S0, 1863 900 minutes
since the birth of our Saviour. A
twelvemonth contains 525, 900, so that
we shall have to wait another thirty
years before reaching this famous
milliard, which will only be compile

According to Mr.. Atkinson, of
Massachusetts, the Radical war will
cost this country four thousand
millions of dollars, or more than four
dollars per minute since the birth of
our Saviour. rlf Il

OID Proc, la very subdued tone,
gives the State to understand that his
"melish" will not be needed. Helies
in saying so, for they are rs much
needed for the accomplishment Of his
purposes as when hcordered his strik-
ers to'give him authority TO call out
and organize the militia. But the &C
ton of the Federal authorities, In sup
plying Federal troops, has blocked
his game and made him weak in the
knees. ...
We venture the assertion that no
tyrant was ever more disappointed
than Brownlow is by the turn which
things have taken, and nothing but
his exceeding loyalty, tempered by q
modicum Of cowardice prevents his
assuming the tone of a discontinued
bravo, towards the authorities at
Washington He has lost the chance
for strengthening the Radical arm by
getting up rebel manifestations
throughout the State, as well as OF
venting his malice upon the people
by subjecting them to the insults and
offerings of an unbridled military
mob. If he does not die under this
shock, he surely is to be cursed with
the immortality of the Wandering
Jew. AS Pat. Darby once said o

From the Memphis Avalanch, Oct. H.
The following reaches US in letter
from gentleman from the section
alluded to. The revelations are in
deed startling, and one could scarce
ly believe them but for such facts as
those brought to light relative to the
arms now here awaiting shipment to
the Arkansas loyal leagues.
The counties of Chicot aud Ashley,
Ark, and also the Parishes of Carol
and Morehouse, La, were thrown
into intense excitement on the 30th Of
September, 1865, by the startling facts
being divulged by one of the carpet
baggers or loyal leaguers, that on the
night Of the LIST or Sd of October, the
said carpet-baggers or loyal leaguers
were to make an attack on the follow
ing places: Grand Lake and Lake VII
lage, Ark; then to rob the same places
of all arms andammunition, and take
such property as they needed. Then,
each mob was to murder all that did
not belong to the loyal league, and
destroy everything they could not
use. And they were to start west
ward, showing no mercy to any but
loyal leaguers. They were to march
west to the Bayou Bartholomew,
there to form a junction, and to di.
vide their forces and devastate the
surrounding country. But fortunate
ly the great midnight murderers o
innocent women and children had
been informed against by one of theil
own loyal leaguers, who had not los
all respect for God and the down-trod
den South. The citizen of the coun
try, being appraised of the facts, helt
themselves in readiness. The excite
ment was SO great, and evcrybod,
making preparations to meet til,
midnight assassins, that they had no
made their hellish attack up to
O'Clock Saturday morning, Sd inst.
The above goes to explain for whn
purpose the five thousand cartridge
were landed on Island so, few day
ago, shipped to Col. 49,, who /
known to be notorious carpet-hag
ger. Island 90 is only ten miles belo,
one of the points Of attack.

The National Bank circulation in
the six New England States Is at the
rate of $50 so for each man, woman
and child; In the six Northwestern
States, "a So: In the six Southern
States, 4lc.! So the effect of the Ma
tional Bank system is to give to the
six New States over six times as much
money per head as 1t gives to the six
North western States, and over seven
ty-three times as much RS II does t.
the six great Southern States. Or, Il
you take the number of voters as the
basis Of comparison, you find that II

$3.50, to each Northern voter so, ant
to each Southern voter less thar

COMPANY a, forty-fifth infantry,

Old Spitiire, in pointing out to Gen.
Thomas the counties that need the
presence of troops for the suppression
of rebellion, through malice named
Montgomery. But his malice over
reached ITSELF because there is not II
county in the State that will more
cordially welcome United States
troops. Loyal leagues and "melish"
have caused serious apprehensions to
all good citizens, but rs these troops
will take the place of the latter, and
keep the former in subsection, their
presence can not be otherwise than
reassuring and agreeable.

The letter of John Quincy Adams
to parties in Charleston, South Caro-
lima, seems to convey the idea that
the masses in the North uphold Rad
icalism, not so much from approval
of its doctrines, as from fears that,
under Democratic rule, the doctrine
of State rights will I've revived and
with il the right of secession. 1t is
not easy to realize that sensible men,
through fear of n remote and imma.
terial contingency, can be content to
hazard an overthrow of the govern
ment with all its attendant evils
The late war made secession and rev.
olution convertible terms, and since
no people can divest themselves of the
natural and inalienablc right of revo.
luton, all this cutlery about the resus-
citation of secession IL the mercst
humbug.
A century ofmilitary despotism car
not eXtinguish this natural right, and
every year of that century will but
multiply the causes for revolution
the result of which will not be affect.
ed by calling it secession or by any
other name. We are forced to the
conclusion that the Radical leader;
are working for despotic govern
ment, whilst their dupes know moi
what they are doing, and the outcry
about secession and rebellion is but {
dirty trick to accomplish an infamous
design. If this be not true, then tn,
Radicals are actuated by trembling
fear Of people grossly wronged ant
insulted.

Weakening of long dormant reason, we
suffered ourselves to hope that the
country would yet be saved. But the
weight of stubborn facts has crushed
that hope, and we sec no obstacle that
can break the wave of despotism now
rapidly submerging every landmark
of constitutional liberty.
We shall doubtless see many rea-
sons assigned for the fearful results OF
the late elections, and the hope held
out that by persistent efforts the result
may be different in November. Grant
it, and what good will 1t do? If the
Radicals maintain their ascendancy
in Congress-, a Democratic President
can de nothing, unless with the nerve
of Jackson he plant himself upon
the ramparts of tho Constitution and
with bristling bayonets repel the
traitorous invaders. The Radicals
long since resolved to abolish the Ex-
ecutive, and therefore made their
biggest fight for Congressman. II
they havo succeeded, the victory is
theirs, and the election of Seymour
will, in their estimation, be trifiing
advantage against them.
The Democrats are now taught the
humiliating lesson that appeals to pa
triotism, the exhibition of startling
facts and arguments unanswerable
can avail nothing against widespread
decentralization tempted by untaxed
wealth, and all they will have gained
by their aid to the war upon States
