The TERM REBEL.-In the course of an able
and lengthy editorial notice of Gen. Hamp-
toms recent address before the Washington
Light Infantry in Charleston, the Memphis
Sunday Appeal takes occasion to discuss the
significance of terms intended to be opprobri
GUS:
We do not sympathize in that general feeling
which repels the name of "rebel." Indeed, we
regard the word as consecrated. 1t has lost its
odium We had as soon be called "rebel' as
''truly loil." In spite otShakespeare's apothegm,
great deal in name. A rose might still smell
certainly cease to be popular. Charles Lamb
wrote farce whose hero Mr. Hogsfesh, could
induce no fair danlse to marry him until, by
Act of Parliament he became transmitted into
Bacon. This principle of human nature,
which leads us to look with disfavor upon any
person or thing stigmatized by an odious name,
is we'll understood by politicians, and in all
ages they have made use of it for crushing
their opponents. The partisans of Charles l.
characterized their vulgar but iron-nerved ad
versaries as Puritans, in derision of their as
sumed saintliness and austerity of demeanor,
or as Roundheads, in allusion to their ridicu-
lous fashion of wearing the hair cropped close
and they, in their turn, reciprocated the COM
ny giving lllc CdNdlleTS Cue OppTODTl-
Gus name of "maglignants." The two great
English parties of latter day received appel
lations of similar derisive character Tories
was originally the name of certain Irish rob-
bers, and the court party took its revenge by
applying to their antagonists the name of the
Scotch beverage of sour milk, called whigg,
whose virtues they considered expressive of
their sour disposition. 1t has not unfrequcntly
happened that the nick-named party has finally
grown proud of the appellation at first bestow-
cd in derision and intended as q reproach A
memorable instance is that of the early revolu-
tionsts of Holland, who incurred the contempt
Gus cpthet of Les Gueur, or the Beggars.
They accepted the title in Defiance and acted
upon it. Instead of breaches in their hats, they
wore little wooden platters such as beggars used,
and foxes tails instead of feathers and their
great Admiral secured the seas with broom
affixed to his masthead instead of flag In
like manner the term "Huguenots" soon lost all
offensive import although it was originally used
as expressive of the secrecy with which the first
French Protestants conducted all their proceed
ings, fitting about at night, like King Hugon,
the national hobgoblin of French nursery tales.
The term "rebep which the dominant party of
the North so freely bestow upon all who differ
with them, has pretty much lost all trace of
dishonorable character; and the name which
was worn so gloriously and triumphantly and
virtuously by him who was first in war, first in
men, cannot be considered slanderous appel
lation by those who claim him as the father of
their country"

JoNAH's GRAvE-I had almost forgotten
lage of Ninnevah, the spot where the miracu.
lous gourd grew is still pointed out. The same
spot, according to Moslem tradition, is the site
of Jonah's grave, and mosque, not very hand
some, has been erected upon it. We succeeded
after great deal of trouble, in getting an order
frcm the Pacha to view the interior, and greatly
to the disgust of the guardian of the shrine, he
had to let us in, making us, however, take of
our boots, and grumbling loudly that never be-
fore had Christian foot detiled the mosque
But we saw nothing worth describing The re-
puted tomb is covered up with rich draperies,
which are never removed.

TIE RIGHT PRINcIrLE-N1r. w. P. Pres
ton, of Maryland, having been asked if he was
a candidate for Congress, made this excellent
reply:
"My answer simply is, if the Democratic
party choose to select me as the standard-bear-
er of the district, l will accept the position,
and cndcavor to convince those who honor me
with their confidence that they have not mis-
placed it; but if am never to get to Congress
until manipulate my own nomination, shall
never go there. would rather remain athome
than feel that, instead of representing the un-
biassed will of the people, owed my position
to cunning contrivanccs which secured my
nomination. Truly thankful to the kindness
of my friends, 1 owe it to myself to say 1 am
among those who believe the Office should seek
the man. aud not the man the Office.

REMARKABLE PREDIcTIoNs.-The follow
ing extract, which a writer for the Cincinnati
Enquirer quotes from page 80 of Mr.. Calhouns
works, and which was written in 1S49, reads
like history rather than prediction
eff it Emancipation should ever be effected
it will be through the agency of the Federal
Government, controlled by the dominant power
of the Northern States of the Confedcracy
against the resistance and struggle of the South
ern. 1t can then only be effected by the pros
tration of the white race and that would ne
cessarily engcnder the bitterest feelings of hos
tilty between them and the North. But the
reverse would be the case between the blacks
of the South and the people of the North
Owing their emancipation to them, they would
regard them as friends, guardians and patrons,
and centre accordingly all their sympathy in
them. The people Of the North would not fail
to reciprocate and to favor them instead of the
whites; under the influence of such feelings,
and impclled by fanaticism and love of power,
they would not stop at emancipation. Another
step would be taken--to raise them to polit-
cal and social equality with their former own
ers by giving them the right Of voting and
holding public offices under the Federal Gov
ernment We sec the first step towards it in
the Bill already alluded toto vest the free
blacks and slaves with the right to vote on the
VI OlStiiCI VI 10
lumbia But when once raised to an equality
they would become the fast political associates
of the North, acting and voting with them on
all questions and by this political union be-
tween them holding the white race at the South
in complete subjection. The blacks, and the
profigate whites that might unite with them,
would become the principal recipients of the
Federal offices and patronage, and would, in
consequence, be raised above the whites of
the South in the political and social SCALE We
would, in word, change conditions with them
"a degradation greater than has yet fallen to
the lot of free and enlightened people, and
emancipation take place (which it certainly
will if not prevented) but by fleeing the homes
of ourselves and our ancestors, and by aban-
doning our country to our former slaves, to
become the permanent abode of disorder, an
archy, poverty, misery and wrctchcdness."

The Corps Le9isiatif.

The stormy scenes occasioned in the Corps
Legislalif by the proposal to convert that body
into Committee of Public Safety have been
followed by lull. The deputies within the
hail. as well as the great crowds around, seem
to be waiting more or less patiently ''to hear
news. In the course of the last session the
new Minister of War said that the Chamber
would understand that he could not give pre-
else details as to the number of troops engaged,
the casualties, &c. He could not even state
the result of the engagements, ''but," he
added, 81 may say that the enemy has made
an Intellectual attempt to capture Pfalsburg
and lost fifteen hundred men killed. This re-
pulse has had a great effect both on the enemy
and the people of that part of France" Count
de Palikao closed his speech with promise
that the moment government has Information
of the great movements now taking place he
will communicate it, The reticence of the
Minister of War leaves room for the inference
that he had no cheering news to give OF de-
cisive victory of French arms After he with
drew Jules Favre requested that the utmost
severity be shown to ''the rioters and assassins
of Villette." This shows conclusively that the
French republican party disclaims all sympathy
with such brigands. To suggestion by NJ.
Theirs, that in case of siege of Paris the pea
SAINTS should be allowed to enter the city with
their grain aud cattle, and that the State should
rairnhursp them for their nrOpertv Minister
Duvernois replied that the government in
tended to fully provision Paris. M. Theirs
also recommended that the Chambers should
now meet daily-a suggestion which indicates
the very critical circumstances in which the
legislators of France are holding their sessions.

GAMBLING. article in another column
entitled Gambling in New York" will attract
the attention of the business men, and pos
sibly of the home circles of our city. How
far or how deep the ramifcations of this nefa-
rious trade extend is unknown; but some
idea of its extent may be gathered from the
facts in our article What is the cure for it !?
The police are bought off by the wealther
''hells," the vice itself is supported by too
many of our prominent men, and gambling
societies prove to be as arrant swndlers as the
gamblers themselves. Moral suason seems to
be the only cure for the passion for gambling,
and public enlightenment seems to be the only
remaining mode of aboishing the damnable
vice that now haunts gorgeously in our most
splendid palaces.

Reports Of tho Latest Battles.

Our dispatches from Berlin this morning
view, regarding the recent battles near Metz.
General Alvensleben, assisted by Prince
Frederick Charles, attacked the French divi-
sions retreating towards Verdun and drove
them in upon Metz with heavy loss on both
sides. Marshal Bazaines force was also driven
in upon Metz, and the first corps of Prussians,
under General Manteufel, served another
division in the same way. General Manteunel,
in telegraphng this fact to his government,
says, 81 write without waiting to remove my
helmet" which reminds one somewhat of a
famous generals dispatches during our own
civil war.
The dispatches from Paris touching the
same events do not positively deny the
Prussian successes so far as attaining position
is concerned, but claim heavier losses for the
Prussians and anticipate complete victory
for the French ere long. A vast body Of
Prussians has been thrown back upon the
Moselle; victory is absolutely claimed over
Prince Frederick Charles and General Stein
metZ UotWeeu DOuCOuII duu OiouVAio, tuo
Prussian force being repulsed along the
whole line, and the consequent junction Of
Marshal Bazaine's forces with those of
MacMahon and Trochu is assured The in
vestment of Strasbourg is incomplete, and the
place has been heavily reinforced, while the
attack on Phalsbourg was unsuccessful. With
all this, however, work on the fortifcations at
Paris is still going on with great energy; q
concentration of the corps at Chalons, sixty
four miles nearer Paris, is hoped for as con-
summation devoutly to be wished, and the
Emperor is reported at Rheims, point as far
westward from Metz as Chalons.
These dispatches are not positively contra
dictory, and if we may take the statements
from both sides as true they show that the
Prussians are still aggressive and the French
armies are acting only on the defensive.
Whatever victories the latter may have gained
have resulted only in securing retreat to-
wards Paris, and when the pursuing army of
| King Wilhelm invests Paris the Napoleonic
dynasty is gone. "The hour of the complete
victory of France is near" say the dispatches
| from Paris, but the hour when one complete
victory will save France is gone. There must
be series of rapid and overwhelming victories
very soon or the three German armies already
in the heart of the empire will compel peace
| on their own terms

TAKING THE RIsK.-It will be seen by our
dispatches that the French cruisers have cap
!ured an English vessel bound for Prussian
ports and laden with all sorts of contraband of
war The captain Of this enterprisng craft,
when questioned as to hisfntentions, doughtily
answered that he had felt assured that revo-
linton Would soon break out in France, and
had determined ''to run the risk" From all ac-
counts there are several captains and leaders,
in far higher command than this spunky son OF
Neptune, who are running the risk and TAX
ing the chances" still more blindy at this present
writing, and on far more troubled sea, iuiier

Austrian Neutrality.

Some of the Paris papers, as our latest
advices show, are bitterly complaining of
Austrian neutrality at moment when, as they
suggest, Franz Joseph with one hundred thou
sand men might avenge the defeat of Sadowa.
Is not this expecting too much of one hundred
thousand Austrians, when three hundred thou
sand of the most dashng troops in the world
the French legions Of MacMahon and Bazaine-
including the renowned Zouaves and Algerian
Turcos, have been compelled to retire before
the heavy battalions of King William? The
Austrian Emperor is sensible ruler, and his
righthand man, Won Beust, is every inch a
statesman. Last winter one of the imperial
princes of Austria visited Paris, and, by re-
quest, made very keen examination Of the
French military status at that time. Whether
or not he discovered the frauds which the
Emperor Napoleon III. is now said to be find
ing out to his dismay, we are unable to state,
but we do know that Immediately after his
return to Vienna he quietly slipped away to
Berlin, and there have been no warlke anti
Prussian demonstrations since. Moreover, the
Austrian empire has not yet emerged from the
dangers of the recent Slavonic agitation.
Hungary, Bohemia, &C., are but temporarily
pacifed, and looming up over the northern
border is the grim figure of the Gar, the
chosen and preferred head, in certain contin-
gencies, of the Panslavon;c movement. In
fine, Austria has enough to think OF and enough
to do at home, and there are nine millions Of
Germans in her empire, living in the Prussian
direction, whose ''blood is thicker than water. "
By maintaining the strictest neutrality Austria
consults her own safety, checks Magenta and
Solferino off against Konigsgratz and Sadowa,
and reserves the physical strength and moral
weight that will enable her to interpose with
effect at the right moment for peace, and SC
perform the noblest part Of a truly great, en-
lghtened and Christian Power.
