GREAT BRITAIN AND THE SOUTH H.-Many Of the
writers and speakers at the South who talk freely
but not wisely of d!sunion, apt to rely in the
event OF the separation Of the States upon the
support Southern Confederacy would receive
from Great Britain. Such expectations can only
be founded upon forgetfulness of the prevailing
tone OF English sentiment on the subject Of slave.

Ing, and perhaps more unrelenting towards that
institution, than that Of the most ultra New Eng
land Abolitionfsts, and England would not fail to
use even the commercial dependence Of the South
upon her Tor purposes of agitation and eventual
emancipation. As mamie station of this English
sentiment, here 10 a specimen of how the London
Times talks Of the Southern people, the incentive
thereto being nothing more substantial than par
tial and exaggerated accounts Of the reception of
the Prince Of Wales at Richmond:

SURPRISED FoRBIGNER.-The special cor.
respondent of the London Times, who desc ribes
thu reception Of the Prince of Wales in New
York, seems to have been most astonished by
the fact that the American people know hsw
to behave themselves. He dwells at great
length upon the dignity, .decorum and good
nature with which halt million Of people
came together to engage in the welcome to
England representative. He says:


I" There was military procession, but that
was only an item in the great feature of the
day, which was the welcome of the people. II
was such welcome as only q whole people
and free people could give, and in the details
of its enthusiasm and its good order there was
much, strange as it may seem, that made such
reception possible only in New York In
Paris 1T would have been q government affair
of soldiers and gen d'armes; in London it
would have been a mob, with an immense
police force to control it. Here it was simply
the people turning out in hundreds of thous.
ands. A huge sea of decorous but most en-
thusiastie spectators, who, even at the spots
where they ue1s densest, were yet so quiet, so
impressive in their majesty of good order, that
at no one place did they seem to have a single
element In common with what we call a mob.
1t seemed more gigantic meeting of the citi-
zens OF New York, convened for some great
and solemn rejoicing along the whole length
of the city, than the mere chance mastering.
of its busy and excitable population. 1t was
such grand display of popular enthusiasm,
there was such dignity in the calm reliance
felt by every one in the preservation of order
such perfect warmth and geniality of kind
ness evinoed from highest to lowest toward the
young visitor, as made the whole demonstra-
tioE, perhaps, one Of the most remarkab able OF
its kind that has ever taken place. Quiet and
demure as are the English people, there are
yet few Englishmcn who can realize the fact OF
the whole inhabitants OF an immense city turn
ing out to witness spectacle and give cordial
welcome, entrusted at the same time with the
duty Of keeping order among themselves. Yet
this was actually the case at New York and
along three miles of road, thronged with half a
million or more Of spectators, there were not
fifty policemen, and even these were only sta.
toned at interesting streets to stop carts and
vehicles from entering in the line of route
Yet description does not easily convey the idea
of such a multitude-the strict, the rigid good
order and good humor that prevailed. This,
too, was not for an hour, or only while the
Prince was passing. 1t was the unvarying de-
meanor of the whole concourse from ten in the
day till past six at night"

1t has long been subject Of complaint with
the South, that the Abolitionists Of the North
persist in vilely misrepresenting the character
of the peculiar domestic institutions in which
their interests are so deeply involved. But
surely, no misrepresentation can be more jun.
Just and more persistent than that which char


acterizes the South in its charges respecting
the principles and purposes of the Republican
party. Not to refer to the assertions Of a reck'
less and irresponsible newspaper press, we have
been astonished at charges recently put forth
in grave official documents, by the Executives
of Southern States, especially at a time like the
present. In the message of Governor Ellis to
the Legislature Of North Carolina, on the 10th
instant, for example, we find the charge, among
other assertions equally incorrect, that John
Browns expedition was deliberately planned
and set on foot by political societies and men
high in public confidence at the North for the
purpose Of creating an insurrection Of slaves
against their masters" Now, can it be posi-


BILE that Governor Ellis is not aware that this
statement is false-utterly false, every word and
syllable of it Can it be possible, that in times
Of excitement like the present. he has put this
atrocious libel before his people without being
aware that Senate committee appointed for
the express purpose Of connecting "political
societies and men high in public confidence at
the North with this crazy raid, after an in


vestigation of eight months, carried to the very
extent, if not beyond the bounds of law and
decency, and backed by all the power Of the
Federal Government, failed-utterly failed
confessedly aud ANONYMOUSLY failed, to connect
single individual "high or low, in the public
confidence Of the North, with that reasonable
affair, old John Brown and his handful Of
white and black fanatics only excepted7 If
Governor Ellis is not aware Of this, his igno-
rance is as lamentable as his baseness would
otherwise be objectionable. We will, in char
ity, trust he was not aware Of the true facts Of
the case; but it is a sad thing that just such
reckless charges as this have brought about
just the present excited state Of feeling at the
South. The widest assertions are made, and
not one syllable of refutation is permitted to
follow.

The Constitution berates the Republicans
soundly for their incredulity, in not believing
that the Southern Democracy really intended
to rebel against the Government if fairly beaten
in the Presidential election. If we gave them
credit for more patriotism and less affinity for
treason than was their due, we are sorry they
have taken 1t as an offence. We shall know
better how to estimate them hereafter.

NOTHING New UNDER THE -SUN.-The
most careful readers of the Scripture have
sometimes remarked that no matter how
carefully or how frequently they have
studied the Bible, they are sure to find
something new-that is, new to them, of
course, because the thought was there from
the beginning, and their minds only became
gradually prepared to discover it. The les
son is constantly enforced, in this way, that
man is very much the same as formerly, and
that the same things happen to the race
now as in former times. But we were
scarcely prepared to find SO close descrip-.

A NEW PREPARATION FOR GROWTH OF
THE HAIR.-The Chicago Herald observes: !:
" A young lady friend of ours recently COM
menced the use of sage-water to promote
the growth of her hair, upon recommenda-
ton Of coifeur. and has now had to dis
continue its daily use because it made her
hair too thick. To prepare this, pour boil
ing water on the sage leaves, and let them


remain some time in an oven or near
stove; then strain it and apply it daily to
the roots of the hair. If any pomade is
needed, an equal mixture of cocoanut and
olive oil, with a little perfume, is good.
