LLNQINM BEDFORD FRIDAY. KOV. 18(W. AN ECHO FROM RKBELDOM. Nominal freedom of speech and of the press existed in the South previous to the rebellion.

But the reality was never known there. The New York Tribune and all other pajtcrs that discussed fearlessly all social problems and advocated social reforms and denounced the abuses of society were carefully suppressed throughout the South. The suppression of the rebellion was supposed to have opened the eyes of those people, heretofore so blinded to their own interests, and was hailed as the beginning of an era not of nominal but actual freedom of the press and of speech. Not so however. They are at their old tricks, endeavoring to proscribe every leading liberal paper and they find, as of yore, their supple menials of the North readv to take up the refrain.

Harpers Weekly, against which a general hue and cry has been raised by every fanatical rebel sheet South, on account of its staunch support of the Government, is one of the most enterprising and liberal of Northern papers. Against it the Gazette of last week true to its rebellious instincts, thus re-echocs the howl of its Southern masters: "HARPER'S WEEKLY A JOURNAL OP FabIe tells us of a kindhearted fool, who, finding a frozen serpent, pitied it, placed it in his bosom, to warm it into life, and in return for his pains, waa struct by the poisonous fang of the revived reptile. The author of this 'ower true must have looked down the vista of futurity and beheld a certain one who plays on a thousand strings, (he ought to play at the end of one) taken to the embrace of the Democratic party who (the 'Harper' after being nursed into strength by that organization, endeavored, reptile-like, to strike it with a tooth that all the worms of Nile." And further on it says "Brethren of the Democratic Press 1 We fail to discharge our duty to our party, and to our country, if we do not warn the public against the malignant influence of the pestiferous publications, which under the garb of neutrality, conceal the stiletto of secret enmity to the This is a good imitation of the true chivalric style. They fear to let their people read both sides and judge for themselves, but try by calling hard names, such as publications and ihe like to frighten them from reading what would bo, likely to open their eyes. How it must gall those Southern rebels and their Northern minions that they can no longer abstract such "pestiferous sheets from the mails and prevent their circulation.

Wc have no consolation to offer the poor fellows. We believe that "Harper's Weekly'' is at present "a Journal of civilization" that such a jour- nal is much needed at the South, and tha'! it with many others of the same kind will be circulated and read both North and South in spite of the lugubrious ululations of the Democracy over friends departed. THE LATE ELECTIONS. The elections held in New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts and other States, last week, have resulted in the success of the Republican party, and the annihilation of the so-called Democratic party. In Massachusetts, the Republican candidate for Governor, Bullock, is elected over Gen.

Couch, by a vote of 57,111, to 17,698. The Senate Stands 39 Republicans to 1 Democrat. The House is made up of 220 Republicans to 20 Dem. In New Jersey, the majority for Ward the Republican candidate for Governor, is 3,600. The State Senate stands 11 Republicans to 10 Democrats.

The Assembly 36 Republicans to 24 Democrats. This secures the election of a Republican U. S. Senator, and also the adoption of the Constitutional amendment. Gen.

Slocum, the Democratic Candidate in New York, has been badly defeated by Gen. Barlow, the Union candidate. The whole Union ticket is elected by a majority of 30,000. Of the thirty-two Senators elected twenty-seven are Republicans. In Nevada, Ashley, Republics) candidate for Congress, has about 1,000 majority.

And so likewise in Illinois, Wisconsin Minnesota, Missouri, the Republicans carry everything by storm, overwhelming the Democracy who are trying to secure their retreat to Delaware, which they are determined to hold at all hazards. Such is the verdict of the people, aud so do they condemn the plottings of the wicked men who have handed together to sesist the onward march of civilization and liberty. THE PRESIDENT'S PLAN. We never had much faith in the President's theory of reconstruction. In fact we doubt if he had, as his practice has generally been directly contrary.

But we have generally approved of his practice and wc like the ring of the four points he has submittee as a tine qua non to the Southern States. They run as follows: 1. The Lately revolted States to declare their ordinances ot secession null and void. 2. Repudiate all debts contracted in behalf of the rebellion.

3. Pass laws for the protection of the colored man's rights as a treeman. And, 4. Ratify the Amendment to the Constitution abolishing and forever prohibiting slavery. We have no doubt that more will be required and made known in good time either by the President or Congress.

Until then these will answer as a good begining and will doubtless afford food for thought to quite a number of rebels North, as well as South, especially when taken in connection with the results of the late elections.

The result is entirely inauspicious, as we fearei from the outset it would be. And yet there are features in the marked show the fight to have been a gallant one, where the party lines were distinctly and visibly drawn. The Republican candidates are unquestionably elected by a handsome, and to the party itself, an unexpectedly large majority.

The Approaching Trial of Jefferson Anthentic Statement of the Causes of the on the Subject-Between the President and Chief-Justice Chase. WASHINGTON, Thursday, NOV, 0.

The recent reports about the trial of Jeff. Davis, tending to create the belief that be was not to be tried at all, have, as we have heretofore maintained, no foundation whatever. The cause of the delay was privately understood, and its removal being probable, at an early day, we have not deemed it advisable to print the technical matters of difference which have existed between the President and Chief-Justice Chase, but erroneous statements having become public, it is proper that the facts, as they exist, should known. The following statement from this evening's Republican we know to proceed from the best authority and to be entirely correct. It fully explains the delay in regard to the long expected trial: For months President Johnson has expressed the greatest anxiety to bring to a legal issue the question whether treason is a crime and whether it can be punished as such.

He has not only consulted his constitutional advisers, his cabinet and the proper law officers of tne government on the subject, but he has also invited to his counsel some of the most eminent constitutional and criminal lawyers in the land. Among these may be properly mentioned the name of Chief-Justice Chase, who came here from Ohio some time in August last, at the specialinvitation of the President, to consult on the general subject of-trials for treason. Subsequently, about-' the first of (lotober last, President Johnson addressed a letter to Chief-Justice Chase, informing him that it might become necessary for the government to prosecute some high crimes and misdemeanors committed against the United States within the District of Virginia. Chief- Justice Chase's circuit, and inquiring whether the Circuit Court of the United States for that district is so far organized and in condition to execute its functions, that the Chief-Justice, or either of the Associate Justices of the Supreme Court, would hold a term of the Circuit Court there during the Autumn or early Winter for the trial of causes. About the middle of October, Chief-Justice Chase replied to the President's letter.

He positively stated that his Circuit Court for the District of Virginia, either to he presided over by himself or one of his associates, would not hold a term "during rhe Autumn or early Winter. He stated that the regular term authorized by Congress uld commence this year on the 27th of November, the present month, only one week before the annual term of the Supreme Court, when all the Judges are required to be present, allowing but one week for the Circuit Court to sit. which in the opinion of the Chief-Justice, would be too short a term for the transaction of any very important business. But the Chief-Justice adds that, were the facte otherwise, he so much doubts the propriety of holding Circuit Courts of the United States in States which have been declared by the executive and legislative departments of the National Government to be in rebellion, and. therefore, subjected to martial law.

before the complete restoration of their broken relations with the nation, and the supersodure of the military by the civil administration, that he would be unwilling to hold such courts in such States, within his circuit, which includes Virginia, "until Congress shall have had an opportunity to consider and act on the whole subject. The Chief- Justice expressed to the President the opinion that a civil court in a district under martial law can only act hv the sauetiou and under the supervision of the military power; and he. positively asserts that he could not think that it becomes the Justices of the Court to exercise jurisdiction under such conditions. WASHINGTON, NOVEMBER 5. The lutelliffencr of this morning says that at a conservative meeting in Nc-w Creek, Virginia, last week, the leading Democratic orator uttered the following sentiment: "The assassination of Abraham Lincoln was a merciful dispensation, but it would lie a still more merciful dispensation if his unworthy successor, Andrew Johnson, should he assassinated." lie has since been made the subject of an arrest, and is now in Cumberland jail.

A little boy and and girl saw a gentleman answering the description of Preston King, overboard from one of the Hoboken ferry boats on Monday morning. They cave been sent for, and from them further particulars may be learned. The hat brough to the city has lieen recognized by Mr. Thurlow Weed, 31 r. King's private secretary, and Mr.

Usher, deputy naval officer. Mr. King stated to a very intimate friend on Monday night that he wsuld not sec him again. Knowing that Mr. Cing had been for some time laboring under a depression of spirits, he took hut little notice of the matter.

His health has beeu poor for some and latterly had shown indications of a softening of the brain. He had only returned to the city last Saturday from a visit to his home in St Lawrence county. He went to the Astor Pouse, and there remained with his friend. On Monday morning he arose, dressed himself and said to his relatives, who slept in the same room with him, that he wished to take a walk and preferred going alone and about eight o'clock he went up town. Since his return from the country, he had suffered more than ever from depression of (he mind.

He was next heard of on board a ferry boat returning from Christopher street to Hoboken. It was reported yesterday morning that a man had jumped overboard. Four of Mr. King's friends visited the boat to day, and found that a gentleman answering the description of Mr. King, had entered the yesterday morning at nine o'clock; had remained on the stern end, and when the boat was midway in the stream, was seen by two children, and the passengers on that end of the boat to take off his hat and jump overhoard.

The alarm was givun and the boat stopped but the body was not seen by any one on hoard. As the tide was falling at the time, it is possible that the body was washed out to sea. The men employed on the boat had seeu a man answering Mr. King's description get on board of the boat. All parts: of this story are strangely confirmed.

3lr. King has been much perplexed ever since his appointment over affairs at the Custom House, which weighed heavily on his mind and undoubtedly culminated in his death. Those most intimate with him, have carefully watched his failing health and recently Jie has Jieen attended by a companion, who occupied a room with him at the Astor House, and watched his movements. Mr. King was a bachelor.

Prow the Hartford Courant, For. 13. We heard, through a semi- official source last evening, that trouble was brewing on the Canada border, arising from the desertion of British soldiers. Our informant stated that a Lieutenant in Her Majesty's army crossed with a company of marines from Canada into Maine for the purpose of arresting several deserters. Upon their arrival on ''neutral soil," the marines would not acknowledge the authority of their commanding officer, declareing themselves free, and refused to return with him.

Application was made to the United States authoritiesto have the men given up, which was refused, and, it was stated that there was danger of an outbreak. The authorities at Washington were advised, and Hancock's corps was ordered to rendezvous in Maine. This is substantially the statement made to us, that there is a movement of troops is certain. The company attached to Hancock's corps stationed in this city received orders yesterday to report at Augusta, Me. and seventy two men, all of the company who were able to start left here on the mail train last night From the Hartford Post, Nov.

13. The veteran Reserves, stationed in this city, left for Augusta, on the train last evening. It was rumored that it was either to prevent the Fenians from invading Canada or to prevent the British soldiers from capturing deserters from their army who have fled to the United States. War between Spain and of the Chilian Ports. NEW YORK, Nov.

10. By the arrival of the steamer Ocean Queen we have Panama advices to October 31. War has been declared between Spain and Chili, and all the ports of the latter country have been declared blockaded by Admiral l'enesa, commander of the Spanish days being allowed for vessels then in port to clear. The Chilian Congress has authorized a loan of twenty millions of dollars, and invested the Executive with unlimited power to raise troops, procure ships, etc. The diplomatic corps in Chili protest emphatically against the mode of blockade, the Admiral proposing to maintain it by means of Cruisers.

The panic occasioned by this sudden rupture was unprecedented in Chili. Business was grentlv prostrated. The English line of steamers between Panama and Valparaiso are determined to receive no passengers or freight for any point south of Bolivia. It is believed the mails carried by these steamers will be received at Cabija by an English gunboat and carried along the Chilian coast. Muryland Election.

upon the satisfactory character of which its existence will depend. The Daily News fully expects the introduction of a Government Reform bill. The Morning Post thinks a Reform bill extremely doubtful, the nation being too in different. The Prince and Princess of Wales paid their expected visit to Liverpool on the 31st. Business was entirely suspend, and they received a perfect ovation.

The British Government has ordered all the restrictions on American vessels-of- war to be removed. The Paris correspondent of the London Morning Dost says that the intended with drawal of Frame from Mexico has lately assumed a more decided character. Maxi milian would recruit more in Austria and Belgium. It is proposed to permit French officers and men to take the oath of allegiance to Maximilian if inclined to do so. Maximilian would then find himself surrounded entirely by his own army.

The Post says it can scarcely be supposed that the United States Government, would wish to replace such a Government in order to return to republican confusion and anatcby.

Strange as it seems, this is literally true. No special tools even arc needed. Any amateur turner, who has onerated on either of the metals may chuck a piece of glass on his lathe, and turn it with the same tools, and in the same way as he would a piece of steel, only taking care to keep thr chips from his eyes. This strange discovery was made, almost accidentally, in the early part of 18r0, by one of our most celebrated mechanical engineers, and might have been patented, but the inventor contented himself with simply putting it on record, and generously presented it to the nation. The consequence was that no one thought or eared anything about it, and the idea nas been suffered to be nearly barren, though capable of being turned to great account.

Let any amateur mechanic make the experiment and he will be surprised at the ease with which this seemingly intractible material may be cut and fashioned according to his ChamberM' Journal.

SOMETHING ABOUT READING, many do not read at ail in these times, there are those who read too much, particularly the young. A moderate amount of reading and plenty of" observation is what will develone the youthful mind. In an article upon the "Physicians and Surgeons of a By-gone Generation, a foreign journal describes Abemethy conversing thus with a patient "1 opine, says he. "that tnore than half your illness arises from too much reading." On my answering that tny reading was chief lv history, which amused while it instructed, he replied, that is no answer to mv Question. At your time of life, a young fellow should endeavor to strengthen constitution and lay in a stock of health.

Besides, too much reading never made an able man. It is not so much the extent and amount of what we read that serves us, as what we assimilate and make our own. "It is to that, to use an illustration borrowed from my profession, that constitutes the chyle of the mind. I have always found that really iudolent men, men of what I call flabby intellects, are great readers. It i- far easier to read than to think, to reflect or observe: and these fellows, not having jcarned to think, cram themselves with the ideas or words of others.

This they call study, but I think it is not so. In my own profession I have observed that the greatest men are not the mere readers, but tTie men who observed, who reflected, who fairly thought out an idei. To learn to reflect and observe is a grand desideratum for a. young man. Hunt owed to his power of observation that fine discrimination, that keen judgment, that intuitiveness that hepossessed in a greater degree than any other surgeon of his time."
