TERr1uM ourn.

No man In his senses doubts that the
Republic, as it was once called, of the
United States is extinct. Whether open
and confessed Empire can be attained
without bloodshed is is the question. =
Much depends on the approaching
struggle between GRANT and the Con-
gress. II the former, following his nat
liral bent, rely upon force alone, col
lision, it seems to us, is inevitable. His
career shows that he can be patient in
the use of force, but it also shows that
he knows little of strategy diplomacy
and relies less upon 1t. Here, we fam
cy, is the root of coming trouble.
II we cannot go back to the Republic
and We cannot-and the populace is
not ripe for Empire proper, what then |?
Is there not a tertil1m Quid, third some
thing, possible? A mean between the
extremes might, it seems to us, be found
in the suggestions thrown Que in the
passage We cited not long ago from DR..
Bellows's book. A democratic empire
or an imperial democracy, call it how
you will, which, (by conceding freely
what the people would vote themselves,)
should put stop to the fury and dis
quietude OF incessa nc elections, would
be a happy consammation. Should
Gen GRANT succeed in driving his enc
mics, 1.-THE idealists and political philos-
ophers" OF the New England school, to
the wall, there will be, doubtless, gen
eral disposition to prolong his rule, we
will not say his reign, to the utmost.
For ourselves, we value peace so high
ly and are so utterly hopeless of civil
liberty (were il even desirable for the
people at large) that we would willing
iy pay the cost of actual imperialism
for the one great blessing it confers,
that OF tranquility. Nor are we alene
at the South in this way of thinking.
In these outlying districts, where neith-
er business nor prosperity interfere
with reflection, the people have become
accustomed to look long way ahead.
They foresaw what their Northern
brethren did not-the defe It of the de-
mocratic party and they foretold the
etfe It from their intimate knowledge of
the working of political causes. They
now foresee the inevitable and are pre-
pared for it,. Unlike the French and an
other exeitable race nearer home. they
have no passion for imperial display
but they do coyet exceedingly that
''wonderful safety of life and property"
which has characterised France since
the accession Of Napoleon Ill. And
for this safety they look with much con-
fidence to GRANT. sE

several counties interested in the inn
provement will be called on by A gents
OF the Company in a few day.. to OBJ

stock, donations of land, RICH. of way.
&c. Messrs. John l.. Andrews and
VIM. A.. Stevens are the authorized
Agents of the Company, and we hope
to hear good report from them.
1t will be borne in mind that the old
Company do not propose to complete
the work; but under authority from the
Legislature to sell. negotiations have
been going OH. and are still bending,
between Col. Braxton Its old Pr, sident
and parties North to undertake its COM

The present effort IS made for the
purpose OF shown G the proposed new

DREADFUL TALK.


We were alarmed by the following
heroic war talk which we find III the
Examiner and Enqtissr Of yesterday +:
"Shall we submit TO this rayiShment!
For ourselves and this paper weN defy
the utmost Ingenuity of their malice
we had rather see the people ofVirgin-
la p It to the sword"
For our part we would not sacrl tee
the life of one virginian for anythiag
left in American politics. When al!
that was worth preserving, to Virginia
was put to t nc arhitrameut ofthe sword
thousands of our people persisted by
il. fHU|f9 ff.a F
Then was Tie time for heroic action.
We prefer the success of the new
movement to any further butchery OF
our people. We trust that its success
will not be endangered by the heroic
talk of those who are so ready to see.
the people of Virginia put to the sword
We observe shat this kind of talk is
principly INDUCED in by that prudent
class who, having taken care to survive
the first slaughter, will in all probabll-
ity. be equally careful to survive the
next, should any of the people of Viz
ginia ever again ''be put to the sword.

HUNNICUTT.


Hunnicutt is now the most furious OF
men against some OF his former friends
and patrons. Here is specimen of the
manner in which he talks: 71T Gfa3
"A few strangers have squstted in
Virginia for the whole and sole purpose
of making their living and fortunes by
office holding. These men, without
means, without any established charac-
ters to recommend them to the conf
dence of the people; loafing around,
prying into eyerybody's business, hav-
ing none of their own; looking out for
any vacancy Of office which may be
made, trying to shove others out that
they themselves may creep in; trying
to put others down that they may 90
up; trying to snatch the bread out of
honest mems mouths that they may fill
their own greedy stolnachs; trying to
undermine honest mems business that
they may sneak into their places; try
ing to crush ont truth and honesty to
make way foi lying and robbery"
This is very strong language. But
Hunnicutt declares that he knops the
truth Of what he says.

NEW BOOKS.

Messrs. West & Johnston of Rich
mond, have sent us the following books
just published by Harper & Bros, OF
New York. efgHssai =. sf
The Old World in its New Face. By
Rev. II. w. Bellows. D. d. Vol. Ii.
We have done what editors rarely do;
we have read DIR. Bellows work from
beginning to end. Its without excep-
ton the best book of travels we have
ever read, more interesting than any
novel, and better adapted particularly
the first volume) for serial publication.
IL 1t were possible, we would so publish
it, and our readers would thank Hs for
so doing. Art, science, literature, the :
ology, politics, society, history, natural
scenery, all are fifty and often beauti-
fully placed in these pages. Nothing
escapes The penetrating glance and the
reflective mind of the writer, whose de-
scriptive power rivals that OF Hugh Mil
Ter and approaches RusKin. So vivid
and photographic are his dslineations
of life, manners and scenery-more es-.
pecially the last-that you see, feel hear
and think as it were with your own
senses-you are bodily in the old world.
Nay, the finer vision and the mind more
affiuent in knowledge than your own,
enables you to see and know what you
would never have seen or known if left
to yourself. To wander, without IA
tigue or cost, without so much as NOV
ing from your chair, through distant
and amid the ruins of the
most ancient civilizations, and to carry
III your wanderings brain far superb
or to your own-this is thaumaturgy
indeed And this DR.. Bellows enables
you to do. etIank him and the Har-
pers for his book.

BIBLE IN INDIA.

The Courier DIES Etdt Unis, tells of a
book with the above title which has re-
Gently been published by Mr.. Jacoliet,
a civil magistrate. who has resided for
years in India who understands San
scrit thoroughly, who is intimate with
Brahmins, and whose tastes have led

Jesus Christ is the pale copy Off ezous
Christina. '.ffqhg 1se IL M 1I2
Mr. Jacoliet assuming the dogma of
India giving civilization to Egypt and
to Greece, which in its turn gave it to
Rome, which in its turn gave ID to the
western world, asserts that the COM
panions OF Moses were simply Egyp-
tan pariahs in country which imita-
ted the dogmas and laws of India, He
says that Moses educated by priests.
gave in time to these pariahs whom he
led beyond their country, religious and
social ideas, communicated only to the
initiated, He sees in Moses only a
legislator filled with the spirit of Ma
nou and in the Hebrews, only a troup
of criminals punished by the decree of
caste and by escaping from Egypt to
avoid trouble, or after arevolution.
Mr.. Jacoliet assumes That Jesusm mus
have STUDIED in Egypt or India until
he was thirty years old, thus Initiating
the philosophers of his time. He says
that it was the apostles of esus who
made God of him after his, death,
when they borrowed from the Vedas,
studied by them in company with Je-
sus, the history of the Virgin Devana-
guy, and her son Jezous Christina.
Mr.. Jacoliet has rude hand. and in
his attack upon christianity quite dis
tinces Renan.
Mr.. Jacoliet would have us to believe
that no one but himself understands
Sanscrlt or is acquainted with the We
das. His discovery is made late in the
day. But it will be nuts to the West
minister Review and the Tublngen
School. What will be done with their
learned disc ussions about the ''Synop
tics" the discrepancies between the
the Acts and the Epistles, &C., &c?

A Washington dispatch says that
''there is very good authority for the
statement that Ill conversation of
General Grants the otter evening, at
his residence he remarked that he had
made up his mind about his Cabinet,
but as yet, the parties whom he should
invite to accept positions had been Civ
en- no intimation of intentions. Mrs.
Grant remarked. THAT is more thai
you have ever told me- He answered
'yes more than have ever told any
one yct.' A number. of feellers was
then thrown out, but all failed to elicit
any more hints or expressions upon
that subject" The story OF itself,
amounts to nothing, one way or the 9TH

it, except that part which speaks of
',feelers being thrown out" that looks
az If IL Was probable.
