ROMANCE OF MADNEss.-We do not
know a more melancholy and touching case
of insanity than that of poor Carlotta, the
widow of Macmillan whom Louis Napo-
leon attempted to put upon the throne of
Mexico, taking advantage OF our occupation
with the civil war. His tragic fate crazed
his young and accomplished wife She has
now suffered another loss in the death of
her medical adviser, Dr. Bultkens, the d.
rector of the Insane Asylum Of Gheel, in
Belgium, who is said to be the only person
who was able TO control her aud in whom
she had perfect confidence The establish.
ment at Gheel is celebrated the town is in
habited by lunatics who enjoy to all appear
ances perfect liberty, and walk about the
streets, work in the fields, etc Some sad
and curious details Of the sympathetic care
taken Of this unhappy Princess have trans
pired among others, :he fact that every
year special copy OF the Almauch de
Gotha, in which is notice Of the Imperial
Court Of Mexico, portraits Of the Emperor
and Empress, Macmillan and Cmlotta in
fact all the details given in the "Almanch ="
of lSG7-is published by command of the
King of Belgium and placed before the poor
lonely widow, who never doubts but that
everything is as it is represented to be.

a BURNT CuILp.-The South has had all
the war it wants, and its journals say so
frankly. Thus the Macon Telegraph and Mes
senger remarks Whenever and wherever
the slogan of war is raised let the emphatic
response OF the entire South be Get thee
behind me, Satan Ourpeople have already
resorted 10 this sort Of 'arbitrament,' and
were so terribly in earnest that they never
suocumbed until nearly every family moumed
the loss of a gallant son, brother, or father ;
a debt of two billions of dollars had been re.
pudiatedi four millions of slaves, our right
tul property emancipated; towns aud cities
laid waste, and gaunt famine and want
stared every one in the face. We state de.
liberately that the assertion that the South
is prepared, by force Of arms, to seat MIR.
Tilden, or engage in another attempt at
revolution, is wholly aud absolutely false.
The very men most opposed to such folly
are the battle-searred heroes of the lost
cause. They have felt the shock of battle
and realized the miseries of war, aud there
fore shrink aghast at a renewal of the dread
full spectacle. Having taken anew the oath
Of allegiance and plighted our faith to con
serve the public peace, we do not intend TO
be seduced into rebellion upon any national
issue"
