Uebate in the Dutch Chambers The French Minister Denies that France Has Sent an Ultimatum to Russia-Prussian View oC the Question What Would Happen in Case of War Secret of the Excitement in Financial Circles. The following details of the progress of the exciting movements now on foot in i Europe are extracted from the news re- ceived by the steamers Pierrierre and i City of Baltimore: THE TREATY. The following is tie text of the diplo- i matic conventions relative to the right of i Prussia to garrison Luxembourg. Thev arc found in the proceedings of the Ter- ritorial Committee assembled at Frank- fort: "Art. Article 3 of the treaty, con- I eluded at Vienna the 31st of Mav" I.l.V and article 67 of the act of Congress of Vienna, having stipulated that the Fortress of Luxembourg should be considered as belonging to the Germanic Confederation, that disposition is maintained and expressly confirmed by the present act.

However, the King of Prussia, and the King of Holland, acting in his quality of Grand Duke of Luxembourg, wishing. to adapt the rest of the clauses of the said articles to the changes which have arisen I from the Treaty of Paris of the 20th No-j vember, 1S15, and lo provide in the most efficacious manner for the combined de- i fense of their respective States, have agreed to garrison in common the fortress, without that Arrangement in any way in- fringing on the right of sovereignty of the King of Holland, as the Grand Duke of Luxembourg, over the town antj. fortress. "Art. The King of Holland, as Grand Duke of Luxembourg, cedes to the King of Prussia the right to name the commander of that fortress, and consents 1 that, as long as it is held in three-fourths of the troops of all $arms shall be Prussian and one-fourth Dutch, thus renouncing the right of domination, 1 which article G7 of the Congress of Vien- na had assured to his Majesty." I DK1IA7E IX THE DUTCH CHAMBER.

In a debate in the Dutch Chamber on the affair of Luxembourg, in reply to cer- tain questions, it yas said: I know well I that the Grand Duke (Sing of Holland) has examined the question seriously and minutely, and that after a long study he uus arnveu ai ine conviction mat tlie interest of Holland demanded the rupture of the dynastic connection which, however weak in itself, still exists between Holland and Luxembourg. As to knowing whether the reply of Count de Bismarck rests on a misunderstanding there can be no difference of opinion except on one point. There have been no negotiations at all on the subject-of Luxembourg, but only conversations. In the official note written on the subject. 1 declared that the Dutch Government considered itself disengaged from all responsibility as to what might happen to Luxembourg; that it rejected any other sort of liability, and wished to present itself as an intermediary.

In sending that paper the Government understood perfectly well, and was fully convinced, that it would receive a negative reply; but the note accomplished its object, which was to-relieve the Government from all responsibility, as admitted by the Prussian Cabinet in its answer. The result is that the affair, even when negotiations shall take place, will concern the Grand Duke exclusively. It is with great pleasure that I announce that the declaration that Limburg is disengaged from all ties is now given by Prussia. I have urged the matter on the Prussian Government in the interest of a good understanding between' Holland and ranee, ana also between Holland and Prussia, so that all the grievances arising from the equivocal position of that province might be removed; and I am happy to say that the Prussian Government has made the most explicit declaration on the subject. The Minister reads a note, in which Couut de Bismarck affirms that Li burg, after the settling of the territory by the Parliament, is disengaged from all its connections.

WHAT IS THOUGHT AT HE RUN. The Berlin correspondent of the London Times, of the (Ith referring to the recent correspondence between France and Prussia, says the light in which the whole matter is viewed from that standpoint is this: If Napoleon III deems it conducive to the interests of his dynasty and Imperial system of government to satisfy the inordinate ambition of the French, the rebuff he sustained in the present affair, and for which he has to thank his own incautious behavior in publishing so anomalous a design before making sure of its practicability, will only render it the more indispensable for him to engage in some similar venture as soon as he can. Not to take up this challenge now is only to leave him tinr.e to arm and choose his opportunity. The alternative left this country then is either to force him to assume the offensive at once, or to divert his action and induce it to take some other directiou. Both these opinions arc represented in the Prussian Cabinet.

If the latter, as at this moment it is likely it will, prevail over the former, we must expect Prussia to henceforth a more lively interest in gen- i cral continental politics thau hitherto. I To prepare against every emergency, this government has thought it expedient to lose no time in raising a loan of thalers out of the total of 03,000,000 allowed them in the last session of the Prussian Parliament for military and other purposes. The rumor of armaments rife in the German papers is premature. Except the provisioning of May nee and Goblentz, no steps of the kind.have been taken. XO ULTIMATUM ClVEX BY KKAXCE.

The following official dispatch-was forwarded to the Prefects of all the Departments in France: The rumor has been circulated that France has addressed an ultimatum to Prussia. This "news is altogether unfounded. MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR. THE MITITAItr SITUATION" HOW THE WAR SHOULD BE WAGED. German papers "are discussing the question as if war had been begun, and are already planning the campaigns.

The Gazette of Northern Germany, a Ministerial raper. says: In a war with France, the German armies will have to operate on two principal points Alsace and Lorraiue, Belgium and the lower Rhine, separated by the liillv country between the Moselle and the Meuse. In case of an offensive attack against the West, or the upper and middle Rhine, it would be necessary to secure the important line of operations, Mayence, Kaiserslauter, and Metz, which leads into the valley of the Marne. This line passes through a net-work of numerous French fortresses, of which the-most important is Metz, a place of the first rank, and yet of slight importance, if Luxembourg, distant seven miles -from it. is in our hands and keeps it in Aeck.

The holder of Luxembourg is master of the valley of the Sarre, which is only closed by 'Sarrelouis; but this valley cuts at right angles the line of operations already mentioned of an army entering from the middle Rhine into Champagne. If, on the other hand, Luxembourg is a French fortress, it is, especially in concert with Metz, a danger for the lines of communication of that army t. and, moreover, it would force it to weaken its el Considerably by for investing. A Jfriff sian Luxembourg would then be for us a necessity: a French Luxembourg would menace our lines of communication on the right flank. The possession of Luxembourg by the French would also be ia for the left flank ofa German army advancing from the lower Rhine into Belgium.

Tlie publication not long since of the cure of a Miss Kllcr. afflicted with hydrophobia, by the use of bromide of potassa, has elicited the following letter from Dr. Benjamin Woodward, of Galesburg, to the Uegister of that place: The case is one of great interest to all, but especially to rue, as I was the first to point out the value of this remedy in what are kuown as poisons." In the fall and winter of while I was in charge of the Park Barracks Hoi-pital, in Louisville.

Ky. erysipelas of a very fatal character prevailed there, and the vapor of bromide was used with the best effects as a disinfectant. So marked was it? value that I was led to make an extended scries of 'experiments with the use of this remedy in blood diseases. The success was so great thqf Professor Goldsmith, the Medical Director, ordered me to make a full report on, the subject, which done, and a copy sent to the Surgeon General of the army, at Washington, and he published it and sent copies to all the hospitals in the North. I used it in scarlet fever, diphtheria, erysipelas, typhoid dysentery, and hospital gangrene, and in every case where it was faithfully and properly use! recovery took place.

The experiments were carried on through two years, and in one of mjr reports 1 urged the trial of the drag in hydrophobia. The New York Medical Tirces and the London Lancet republished three of my reports. While I was in charge of the gangrene hospital, known as "No. in Murfrees-boro, after the battle of Stone lliver. many gentlemen ofthe profession came there watch the effect of the treatment and among them Professor Frank Hamilton, Frofessor Gunn.

of Ann Arbor, Professor Pott, of New York, and ProfessorBrinton, of Washington. These gentlemen remain ed from, two to three weeks, aud so highly were they pleased that on their retnrn to their respective homes thoy made reports oa the subject, and Profrnsora Post and Gunn lectured on the subject to hcir colleges. Since that time I have used the reraedy in more than two hundred cases, and not one has died in which the remedy was used enrly and jaithvllif. I liavelabored to get it in use here, hut, with a few exceptions, it has not been noticed. Some men who have never.ever.

seen it tried say thej- have no confidence in it: but the united testimony of hundreds who have used it is that wo have no remedy of equal value. In the treatment of scrofula, the early stages of consumption, erysipelas, diptherin, scarlet fever and gangrene, it is far beyond all other remedies. One of outmost prominent physicians requested me last fall to go and use it in a case of gangrene of the leg. after amputation. The action of the remedy was prompt and successful, and the lady made a good recovery.

If by this article 1 shall succeed in getting any of our phj'sicians who have not-used (lie article to. give it a faithful and impartial trial in caSes of scarlet fei'er and diptfaeria, now so fatal, 1 shall effect the object I have in writing it, for I feel confident the lives of many children will be thereby saved. Tnt: liKKI.lN Svstkm OF ExTlXCrjISHIKU Fires. licrlin (Prussia) haa about inhabitants, and about forty stations ofthe fire department. Each station 19 composed of a company, with officers, non-commtssion ed thirty men, for which the most active men are selected, who are drilled every day in their respective evolutions at a place selected for that purpose, containing a gymnasinm and a Inrge frame building so constructed as to offer complicated diiliculties in reaching certain parts of it.

A newly-organixed set of men go through ihc gymnastic school first, and are then put through more practical exercises in building. The companies are uniformed, consisting of a fire-proof blouse fastened around the waist by a belt, to which a hook and hatchet arc attached; a cover for the head, made of leather, in shape of the southwester, with a moveable protection for the neck, leather pantaloons and shoes, all of a dark color; the commands are given by the sound of a whistle, and are e.ecuted with military regularity and precision. To the places where the telegraph denotes the fire to be, the whole company is conveyed in an omnibus. Supposing a fire is telegraphed to have broken out in a six story building, a hand engine immediately appears on the spot, accompanied by a wagon with water, (to supply the immediate water before the hydrant is connected,) the company wagon with its full eijuipment of officers arid men, and a ladder wagon with different sized ladders. At the sound of the whis- tie from the company, commander, the men fall in line; a second command distributes every one to his post (the knowledge ot which' is acquire- by drilling.) The commander-in-chief has meanwhile-arrived on horseback, and after surveying the ground directs the entire moventent.

All the" necessary engines are on hand, the men. hose in hand, distribute themselves through the building, rapidly reaching the oricin ofthe fire, and there destroy it "without damaging he enUre buil-din" with water. the statrway-s -of the house be on fire, certain men of each company at once throw peculiarly constructed ladders, furnished for that purpose with two strong hooks, in the windows of the next story, climb to the too of it, another ladder is handed them, which thev again fasten to thestory above, and then pursue the previously prescribed operation. One of the most practical apparatuses for the purpose of saving life and prop erty is a long tubular canvas, through which persons and -goods are slipped very rapidly without being injured.

RDEES promptly fillod either in ine city or country at me lowest mancei rawra. i places, and are direct communication with the central point. Paris, as well as the south and north ofthe country.

The strategy of the French army would be greatly favored by this railroad parallel to the frontier; and its displacement at will, from the south to the north, and vice versa, would be easy. The Luxembourg-Liege line runs parallel to the Prussian frontier, on the Belgo-Luxembourg line, connects the valleys ofthe Nozelle and the Meuse by the" shortest way, and cuts the Cologne-Liege-Brussels" lines jasar Verviers. To Luxembourg and the junction point of these three lines must be attached, in a French point of view, great importance. Fourthly, the important net-work connecting the valleys ofthe Rhine, the No-he, the Sarre, and the Moselle, debouches on Luxembourg, and on it is the only lino ot communication by rail of the theater of war in Lorraine and Belgium. It is of capital importance for the Germans.

The great importance of this place for us would be increased by the completion of the projected line, Treves-Cologne and Treves-Coblentz, by which Luxembourg could be put in direct communication with the strongest places on the banks of the 1 Rhine, and serve as an advanced post. Thus the question relative to a fortress so well suited both for attack and defense should be the object of serious examination. SEASON FOR THE EXCITEMENT IN COM MEH-CIAL The correspondent of the Associated Press says: "The chief strength of France for immediate superiority lies apparently in her iron-clad fleet for the blockade of every German port, and hence, as Germany takes about one-teuth of the total export of British produce and manufactures, the excitement and anxiety are intense in alte commercial "circles." The Loridon Times takes the following prosaic view ofthe value of Luxemburgjas a military position: "Just now it is the Moselle and its Iribu- taries that France wishes to make the line between it and the growing Power beyond. The German Confederation has heretofore found it necessary to defend that line by converting Luxumbnrg into a fortress capable of holding, and! therefore requiring for its own defense, a considerable army. Such a fortress, filled with Germans, and surrounded by a German population, within a short day's march of the Freach frontier, is no doubt a provocation; and the.Germanst who, to do them justice, have not been much given to the spontaneous and unprovoked invasion of France, have a fancy for calling Luxemburg the readiest way for that purpose, Its value, however, is simply defensive, and as such the most ordinary English tourists can form some notion of its real value, for they may cross and recross the French and German frontier several times every year.

of their lives without once seeing Luxemburg, or approaching it nearer than Metz or Treves." "Whatever Power holds Luxemburg must, in time of war, bury in it many thousand men; and, to the best of our belief, it would never be necessary for France to mask it with a larger aggregate force than the ordinary garrisons of Verdun, and other minor fortresses. The fact ofthe country population being German must render it somewhat less costly to the German side than to the French, but to neither can it be essential. As the position is there, it must be held: and in the event of war, that involves more loss than gain to the master." St. Louis The LIndell Hotel aud Business Property. A correspondent writes from St.

Louis, ki regard to the Lindeli hotel enterprise and business property in that city, in the following strain THE LIM'ELL KNTEIU'RISE DEAD. What the loss of the organ would be to Boston, the loss of the Liudeil was to St. Louis. Little else -is talked of, not much else thought of; and sad looking capitalists, with melancholy countenances, still go every morning to gaze at the ruins. Strangers visiting the city are expected to ask their first question about the loss, and.

by-thc-by, no question seems to ingratiate a new-comer into the heart of a St. Louisian as a few words of condolence dropped at the first introduction, in regard to the terrible affliction. Bui, a more practical query is. wjll it be rebuilt? Indications are that St. Louis will wait many years before she has another Lindeli.

Plenty of rich men are ready to mourn over the loss, but none to give a penny; and accordingly Mr. Ames announces, that, unless the subscription committee soon bestir themselves, he will proceed to put up a block of marble-front stores on the old site. Speaking of the cost of building another Lindeli, it is well to remember that in 1SG1, when the hotel was erected, the plastering was done by contract at twenty cents a yard; now it will cost forty-five cents and fifty cents. and masons were then hired for ten and twelve hours a day at seventy-five cents and one dollar; now the same men demand five and a half and six dollars and work only eight hours. Brick, which then cost six and seven dollars per thousand, now- cannot be bought at fourteen: and carpenters get from four to five dollars per day.

Business was never duller, and there is no end to the complaints of mercantile men. The city is full of men out of employ, most of them young men fromthe east, who all have white hands and want some clerical work to do. A Main street merchant told me the other day, "twenty young men have called to-day, seeking work many of them offering to do work for their board." Sunday, while looking at the Great Republic, now lying at the dock, we met a young man, who informed us that he had been recently discharged from the position of railroad conductor because of the dullness, and, coming to St. Louis, "he had sought employment at every house on Main street, at the railroad offices andiron foundries, and was unable to get anything to do." The matter lies in a nutshell. Interested parties have represented that Missouri and St.

Louts are the most desirable places to locate in, in the West: and the result is that everybody believes that he is coming to the garden spot of the world, and has about the same ideas of making money that the Irishman had who picked up gold in the streets. True, there are chances in Missouri for ablebodied men, not particular about what they eat, and where they sleep. Southwest Missouri is greatly in need of farmers and day laborers, but there is no demand for clerks and merchants. Failures are common; a new one is reported in the city yearly every day; and plenty of desirable stores are for rent on Fourth street, and have been for weeks back. For instance, opposite the Planters' house, a large store is vacant and for rent The Democrat building, corner of Pine and Fourth streets, has two rooms on the ground floor, and.

they have been vacant for months. Last' week three houses of standing went up, and many more-are known to be trembling. Many merchants are laying back to'take advantage of the bankrupt law, and it is generally estimated that many will go with it. Enquirer states that, on last Tuesday afternoon, one of the bears attached to Lip'man's Menagerie escaped from his fastenings, and bolting out through the front door of the pavilion, fled down the street. Being hotly pursued and not -willing to resign his newly regained liberty, Brain turned at bay and bit his keeper on the hand, and foot; also inserting his incisors into the calf of a young and enthusiastic citizen, who, with more valor thanL-discretion, was assisting in the capture.

Neither of the parties were, however, seriously and Sir Sriin was at length overpowered, and returned to his cage. DEMOCRATIC TSCKET FOP. GOVERNOR, JOHlSr L. HELM, OF HA It DIN. FOU IJKUTENA NT-GOVERNOR, JNO.

F. SMITH, OF HENEV. FOB COXfillCSS: A.SA. GEO VSR, TUESDAY, APRIL 1SG7. SrKKcii of Mr.

Grovei: It will lit seen that Hon. A. P. Grover, Democratic candidate for Congress, is to speak this evening at the corner of Market and Eleventh streets. Although the speech is to commence at an early hour, we hope that all who wish to hear it will be present at the beginning.

We assure the public that they cannot pass the evening more appropriately and properly than in bearing it. The speaker has great ability and eloquence, tbe subjects to be discussed arc of incalculable moment to the State and country, and the election which is to call forth the verdict of the people on those subjects is very close at hand. tST" We have been surprised to see how little intwestthe Democracy of Kentucky seem to feel in tbe approaching elections. They may feel much more than they exhibit; they certainly exhibit very little. It is far otherwise with the radicals; ihey ate all alive and at work everywhere.

And so with the Third party men; they like the radicals, are zealous and active in every district and county and neighborhood. All this tna3- be the result of the undoubted fact that the radical party and the Third party, conscious of their want of strength, feel that they must strain muscle and nerve to make a respectable show, whilst the Democracy, relying upon the power of numbers, take it for granted that they will win a victory whether they put forth their exertions or net. A political party is naturally a lazy animal. It is unwilling to work unless it thit.ks that it distinctly sees some especial purpose to be accomplished thereby. the Kentucky Democracy, if they but their eyes, will see especial purposes enough and great purposes to be effected by vigorous effort.

In the first place, if the radical party and the Third party unite, cither openly or covertly, either wholly or partially, as they may do at tbe lust moment, and if tbe Democracy are inert, there will be actual danger either of a Democratic defeat or of such a near approach to one as will grieve and moitify tbe pnrtj- here and its friends all through tbe country. The radicals of the Northern States as well as those of Ken-lucky have fixed their most anxious thoughts and hopes and expectations upon a victory here; and duty to ourselves and to the count demands that they should he taught to expect no longer the least comfort in this quarter. It is enough that radicalism curses the Northern soil hy its remorseless tread; let it never think more to set its split hoof upon Kentucky ground. We should cheer and entourage our friends North and South by the greatest and most glorious victory that the power of numbers will enable us to-achieve. We shall not do enough if we have the power to do'more.

There is a political and moral influence beyond the fact of the simple success of this, that, or the other candidate. And conservatism, heaven knows, needs at this time all the political and moral influence that cau possibly be given to it by the combined strength of all its champions from tbe highest to the lowest. The apparent apathy that we have f-poken of us manifested by the Kentucky Democracy, although it may be in a measure accounted for as we have attempted to account for it, is indeed almost unpardonable. Think of the old Whig and Democratic times. Remember the struggles that were then made, the excitements that raged, the organizations that sprang into existence, and all the thousand mcaus of 'electioneering that were resorted to at the approach of everylection, whether of President or delegate to Congress or member of a State Legislature.

What a contrast between the spirit exhibited by all parties then and that shown by the Kentucky Democracy now! And yet tbe issues then were incomparably and almost infinitely less important than they are at this eventful tpc. Then nothing depended upon the elections beyond the gratification of a little political and personal ambition and the rivalry of certain political now everything is at stake that should be dear and sacred to a people, The Constitution is stricken down, two of the three departments of the Government are virtually dastroyed, the third has usurped the dictatorship of the Republic, ten of tbe States of the Union are utterly overthrown ajid ruled by a heavier rod of iron than ever was ielded by any. historic despot, and general confiscation is openly and extensively threatened as an addition to all tbe existing miseries of the doomed and blasted tion. If Kentucky conservatism docs not start up into vigorous lite and terrible eiicrsyunder such circumstances, one, might think that it would sleep on though all the thunders of heaven were to break upon its pillow. The Courier publishes a report of a speech of Col.

IJullitt, the Radical candidate for Congress in this District Wrong as "we believe tbe speech to be in principle, we take- pleasure -iu acknowledging its ability. The Radical like the Third party, has put forw-ard as good and probably as Uroug fc candidate as it could have, found in its ranks. fighting think differently. Witness this bulletin of victory: Address of the Democratic Stale Committee of Connecticut to the People of the Union: The Democratic Committee of Connecticut greet you with the result of the election in this State. The Democrats and conservative electors have achieved a signal victory on these issues: lu favor of representation in Congress, by every Slate.

Immediate union on the basis of the Constitution. No usurpation of undelegated power by Congress No military despotism in this Republic. No Congressional force bills to establish negro suffrage. On these issues we have swept the State by 00 majority on Governor, and a net majority of LSOO on Congressmen. We gain three of the four members of Congress.

On these issues was the battle fought and won. JAMES GALLAGHER, Chairmau. And witness afso this passage from' the wail of defeat set up by Senator of the radical chiefs of Connectitut: Now, it is true that the necessity and expediency of this bill were directly in is-suejn the election of last Monday. A majority of pur people no matter under what influences, no matter what mistaken impression, no matter how much turned aside hy local or personal consideration did, last Monday, cast their votes against the bill, and Mr. English's majority of nine hundred shows the exact preponderance of sentiment in Connecticut, on that day, in reference to that particular mode of reconstruction.

Our neighbor says a good many Northern Democrats are "behind the times." The assertion is slanderous, but, pray, where is he? He is so far "behind the times" that to "men of the times" his figure appears ridiculous. "He seems no bigger than his head." JST'What sense or justice or truth is there in the editor of the Democrat's daily talk about the candidates of the Democracy in Kentucky as "running upon the merits of the lost cause," when he and all else know that they expresslj' repudiate the lost cause, that is, such of them as ever were for it, and declare without reservation tbe.ir resolution to support the Union and the Constitution? Would not that be a very singular and strange mode of "running upon the merits of the lost cause?" Why does the editor try to make the country think that Kentucky swarms with rebels when he knows that there are no rebels within her borders? What pretext, but that of supposed party necessity, be set up for doing so unworthy and injurious a thing? What spite has he against the State, what cause of quarrel with her, that he should deliberately attempt, in defiance of all political and even moral to draw upon her the hate and the suspicions of other States, and the fierce vengeance of Congress? Brni.w. or the Confederate De.vh. Dr. John M.

Johnson, formerly a distinguished member of the Kentucky Senate from Paducah aud for some 3ears past a citizen of Atlanta, has visited our city to raise the necessary fuuds to bury the Confederate dead at the latter place. His mission is a sacred one, atyl we trust that it will be successful. The living have claims to be saved from the death of famine, the dead to be buried. We learn irom Dr. Johnson and others that numbers of the Confederate dead are lying everywhere around Atlanta upon the top of the ground with not a handful of earth or a leaf above them, bleaching and ghastly skeletons, while the living have no means to perform the pious rites of sepulture.

It is a doleful thought, and one that will touch the hearts and open the hands of many. Not a large sum is required, but what is needed will, we are sure, be given gladly and in many cases with a sigh and a tear. Dr. Johnson is at the Louisville Hotel. His party (the Democracy) seem to he taking the start, however, advising the voters, if they cannot vote for Grover, to vote for Bullitt.

Democrat. When has the Democratic party "advised the voters, if they cannot vote for Grover, to vote for When? The question demands an answer. We can see no rational motive for an editor's placing with hrs own hand upon the forehead, in the face of the whole community, a red-hot iron marked "slan- 1 derer." The spectacle of Fernando Wood and James Brooks defending Andrew Johnson in Congress is a pleasant supplement, to the manner in which they both calumniated him when he stood on flic Radical platform a few years ago. Forney. WeJl, the spectacle of yourself, blackguarding Andrew Johnsoa in your "two papers; both is a queer sup plcmentto the manner in which you flattered and bepraiaed him when he stood on th same platform he stands on now.

The New York Evening Post thinks that "President Johnson's persistent with his bonds may choke htm." Tes, yes. you radicals avowedly bind tha President of the United States with bonds, jiTing public notice, that, if he doesn't tub-mil without a struggle, you'll hang him. Takt care lest the rope get around unexpected necks The Boston Post says that "it is a singular fact that Tennessee, whtcfc Congress singled out as a special pet and favoriu, has been the scene of more disorder ad difficulty since the war ended than have occurred in all the excluded States' Cincinnati Enquirer. A State with a rowdy for Governor may be expected'to be always in a row. fgp" Those vindictive and vituperative foes, Bingham and Butler, are both prominent and leading radicals.

May we not expect that the whole radical party will at once divide itself into a pair of factions the Biaghamites and the Butlerites? JSy The Editor of the Portland Repub lican says that "he is a waiter on Providence." When he leaves his situation, we may, if he can bring a note from Prori-dencef certifying that he is a good "waiter," engage his services ourselves. In "Washington a woman shot a man because he did not marry her; in Cincinnati another shot one because he did. What can a bachelor do to save his bacon? Ejc eJian'ge. Suppose he marry two, and let them, if theyinnst shoot, shoot each other'. Most of our Magazines pay "noth in some future number of your paper, you will give us vour views of this matter, it will accomplish some good in this sec- tlUil.

Our views coincide with those of the Bracjien friends of the convention, as rep- resented by this writer. The Bracken friends of the convention are right. The State. Committee in calling the convention did invite "all wlio were opposed to radi- They invited all who were will ing in good faith to act with the Democracy. The invitation was really as broad as was consistent with the self-respect of the party.

In this particular nothing that should have been done was omitted. As to the reception which "such men as J. F. Bell and R. T.

Jacob" would have met with, we can say in all sincerity that we believe they would have been received with open arms. They would have met not the "cold shoulder" but the warm heart of every member of the'eonvention. Colonel Wolford, who stood in the same relation to the Democracy as Colonel Jacob and Mr. Bell, was the lion of the convention, and, if he had not peremptorily withdrawn his name when he was first put in nomination for the Lieutenaut-Governorsbip, he would have been nominated by acclamation. All trustworthy accounts agree in this.

We may add, that, after tbe confusion and misapprehension growing out of Colonel Wolford's peremptory withdrawal had ended in the nomination of another, the convention was eager to confer on the gal- lant soldier any one of the remaining nominations that he would accept. But he would accept none, generously declar- i nig that he did not want office, and, there- fore, would not oppose his friends who did. The passionate good-will of the convention satisfied him. He took it for the deed and for much more than the deed. And indeed it was worth more than all the honors in the gift of the convention.

And we hazard nothing in saying that the like good-will would have been shown to "such men as J. F. Bell and R. V. Jacob." if they had accepted the broad invitation of the party in like manner.

But they did not, and thereby hangs the tale they have to tell. The fault is all their own. TThe Loursville Democrat calls the journal and Courier "fit twins of an abortive party." If the editor of the Democrat is really so silly as to think that the Democracy of Kentucky is "an abortive party," he will, before Che close of the week, be rudely awakened to a knowledge of his most absurd mistake. But he has no such thought; he knows very well that the De-moerac3' of Kentucky is the strong party of Kentucky, and that his own party is the weakest in the State. He keeps up his efforts only in a spirit of resentment and defiance and pride.

He continues to make a show of fight, for he is ashamed not to continue to do so. He thinks that he can better afford to fight aud be miserably whipped than to be miserably whipped without fighting. But he ought to remember that he may be misleading some persbns, who, notwithstanding their experience of him, are so incapable of learning anything as still to have a little confidence in his political assurances. It should be understood, however, that, although his political asttrmice is great, his political asswiXHces amount to less than nothing. They are, like some of the quantities spoken of in his own algebra, "neyttice" quantities.

The editor of the Democrat, in view of the position now occupied by himself and his Third party, should be as modest as possible. If he cannot talk modestly, he should be silent modestly. Repudiated as he knows his party to be by the whole Democracy of the North, condemned as he sees tliat it is by the entire people of the South, isolated as he perceives it to be in the midst of the political sea with no land visible irranj- direction, he exhibits himself to very wretched disadvantage in setting up claims to be tbe leader or organ of the genuine and only genuine Democratic party of Kentucky. If he were constitutionally capable, with his rhinoceros hide, of feeling the sting of rebuke, he would be stung to death jn an hour by the thousand rebukes that are darting their needles into him on all But we think that he will encounter a rebuke next Saturday that would do his business for him though he had two rhinoceros hides instead of one. The Louisville Journal says we are sneering at the South for going over to radicalism.

We don't know what it means by a sneer. We have no sneers for the Southern people. They are in too bad a fix. and must do the best they can. Democrat.

The editor of the Democrat, whether be knows "what is meant by a sneer" or not, has been sneering at the Soathern people as going over or intending to. go over to radicalism. He tried the other day to be very smart upn the subject of the Southern people's becoming radicals and didn't even allude to the fact, which he knew to be a fact, that, in whatever they-iire now doing politically, they deem themselves acting under the stress of a direful and inexorable physical necessity, having no more feeling of radicalism, no more respectforit, than they had when they were at liberty to utter, without danger their opinions in the ears of all mankind. RtfThe Democrat of Saturday, notic-inc the speech of Mr. Grover the preceding night, said: The only point that he made was characteristic of him, and that was, that he advised those who could not vote for him to go for Colonel Bullitt, the radical candidate.

It is hardly necessary to say that this statement is wholly untrue. Mr. Grover cave no such advice. He advised nothing of the kind. ESTForney is about crossing the ocean.

There are at least twenty-five buildings in course of erection here, and when the public buildings, together with the three churches to be built this summer, are begun we will have a live village. This part of the State has been quite unsettled since the close of the war, and a good deal of Mill exists, which it will require the healing balm of Time to eradicate. It was here that Dr.

Albion Case, Senator from this and the adjacent county, was assassinated by one Frank Fanis." The same promising' young man attempted, the sanu? afternoon, to assassinate Deputy Sheriff M. F. Ktninan, by shooting him through the mouth whilst riding along the highway in friendly conversation. This occurred about the 10th of last January. Fanis made good his escape.

Kinman is now about well. A half-ounce ball divided'into two ugly, ragged pieces, was extracted from the inferior portion of the under jaw by Dr. Slaughter a few days since. We have been conservative in our views and have doubted the necessity of troops in this State, but our mind has undergone a change. We have some recon structed ex-rebels here who are really about the hett citizens in the community, and are sensible men who realize their position and ignore the past, meeting Union men and soldiers in a friendly spirit.

There is another class who are not so friendly, but who are too sensible to publicly manifest their antipathy less they bring about a substitution of Brownlow's bull pups for regulators. And another class (the worst of of ignorant vagrants, floating scum-like upon the social surface, ready to sink to their legitimate level as soon as tranquility is restored and society organized. They know ibis and will neglect no opportunity to prolong the agitation. Since becoming acquainted with the political status here, we know that the agitation is kept alive by this floating, indolent population, thrown to the surface by the late agitation of the political cauldron. The' have no property, hence no interest in tbe tranquility of the and if they do not succeed in disturbing the peace of the community in which they live, in behalf of the disloyal persons, we will find them just as swift to work in the interest of Brownlow or any other party that promises bloodshed and lawlessness.

We do not think that the Government need feel any apprehensions from the intelligent population or real estate owners. The latter have everything to lose and nothing to gain by fostering a rebellious spirit, whilst these jayhawkers have everything to gain and nothing to lose by confusion and lawlessness. Three regiments of regular troops, stationed over this State by companies, would restore quiet and good feeling and a sense of security in short lime. The people cherish none of that animosity toward regular troops that they do toward volunteers or militia. The officers are men' of education and intelligence and discretion, full comprehending their responsible positious and their ohlijratinns'to the laws of the State; and whilst swift to aid the civil officers in the discharge of their proper functions, they have no friends to reward and enemies to punish.

Under tGovernor Brownlow's regime we will have quite a different state of affairs, and crimes will be perpetrated in the name of law aud order that will be dark stigma in the American history. Gov. Brownlow, no doubt, was illused in he early part of the rebellion, but a great man and statesman should and would lift himself above the petty annoyances of his enemies, and, however those enemies may construe such a course of conduct, the country will recognize in him the elements of greatness. If, whilst he was a meelcisciple of that Prince of peace, he studied that Book of books to advantage, he will remember many proverbs that he can turn to advantage. A company of regulars, now stationed here, belonging to the 20th U.

S. infantry and commanded by Capt. F. H. Torbett, are exercising a most salutary influence.

This is an important railroad junction, and quite a force of roving, lawless vagabonds were assembling about it to live upon their wits and depredate upon the people. The" would doubtless have played rebel until Brownlow's militia came in, and then turned about, and, vampire like, sacked the rebels bloodless. The presence of U. troops was not healthy for their 'ilk, hence they have almost entirely disappeared in quest of a more favorable latitude. The advent of troops was, not hailed with delight by tbe community, who had heretofore ouly had among them the reckless andundtsciplined volunteers.

But their gentlemanly, quiet demeanor and exemplary conduct, together with the commanding officer's readiness to crush any outbreak or disorderly conduct, come from whatever quarter it might, have awakened a friendly feeling, and a sense of security that must be prolific of immeasurable good. More anon. "QANULA." Singular Lake. The Planters' Banner gives the following interesting description of Spanish lake, a remarkable natural curiosity in St. Mary's parish, Spanish lake, situated but two or three miles above New Iberia, and IjO yards from the Teehe, is fed by springs, and more than half of its surface is covered by a floating turf, whose roots are interwoven so closely that a man may walk on it.

It. looks like a flat prairie to those who travel on its hanks. At all seasons, except winter, it is as green as our prairie in April. By cutting through this floating turf, fine fish in abundance may be caught. In time this turf will cover the whole lake.

Spanish lake is several miles in length, over a mile wide, and ils greatest depth is 13 feet. There is a fall of ten feet from this lake to the waters of the Teche. A cotton or woolen factory might run here to a good advantage. Above, between the lake and St. Martinsville, there are several square miles of nearly level land, which might make superior rice land.

They mightbe leveled and irrigated by the use of an engine taking the water from Spanish lake. Spanish lake itself might be drained into the Tecke, ten feet of its water without an engine, and the' balance by use of an engine, and irrigated by the same means. It would make one of the most complete rice plantations on the globe. Its waters rest upon the rich vegetable and animal deposits of ages, and, doubtless, of thousands of years. Let an enterprising company of Germans take hold of this, with proper capital, and neither they nor their children's children ever need fail to make a full crop of rice every year.

They might defy alike droughts and deluges, anlTcul-tivnte a soil whose fertility could never be exhausted. Cosxecticct.
