As will be sera by the ootjee of the Treasurer, in another column, tbe Directors of tbe above Company have declared a dividend of runs per tint, apon its cap ital stock, payable oo and after the first day of Novem ber, of which six per cent, is due to tho present year and three per cent to the preoodiog year. We may well congratulate the , boldert of this stock upon their pronpeilty, especially aa this dividend ia, to oar knowledge, truly tod fairly made oat of the actual earnings of the read, after providing for all liabilities and laying aside a earn to be applied to the sinking fund. Tbe receipts of the road this year have slightly ex- needed those of the year before, aay some two or three thousand dollars, bat at tbe same time, from causes eas ily andetstood, the cost of operating has also been greater, Had the war hut occurred it is more than likely that the business of the road would have increased io a much greater degree than It baa. Indeed hist year the nett earnings of the road fully Justified a dividend, but it was deemed best to defer it for tho purpose of extin guishing a sufficient amount of debt to place tbe credit of the Company beyond the reach of contingencies, We think that this pleasing point, which, after long waiting, has at length been reached in the history of tbe W. & M.

I do not make war on the sick, wosncn, or children.

The building eo which you bad for tbe first time observed a yellow flag has beao well known to you and to all your command, aa well as to the U. H. Navy, as tbe military hospital of tbis station, and now nsed for that purpose. Dealing with one who hod been an old brother sol dier of high reputation, I had hoped that our inter course and conduct in the hostile attitude in which we are placid, would be marked by all the court'! acd amenities of civilized warfare. But it seems from your cnoimaiiicatioo that you claim tbe right to violate tbe Iloapitat Fag, b tea me it mny be ub$etL Admit this principle and we revert to a Btate of barbarism. The sick, th women and children, and prisoners, most be come objects of vengeance: tbe white flag most (be abolished ; " Beauty and Booty," " Rape and Kspine," must follow in the track of a victorious commander. I decline yonr invitation to make these the ohjtcts of war. Your Hoftpituf Flag has been and shall be rerpected. In the affair of Tnesduy night, your Hospital, with its incuates, was in our -pomwioo for at least one hour, and, as far as I can learn, my orders to scrupulously re spect both were rigidly enforced. Onr Hospital, and the to adjacent buildings, occu pied by medical cflicers, will contioae to be used for legitimate purposes. Nothing has been, or will be done, to attract your fire. If, nnder these circumstan ces, yon sbonld put your threat into txecntion, which would only be in accordance with the acts of some of your brother commanders, of little experience in the custom of war, I shall take care that the fart shall be made known, that it mny receive, as it will deserve, the execration of the civilized world.

He would, iu the first place, brkfly examine the i.aiure and character of tbe Act of Sequestration, and of tttewrit I be act was clearly an act of retaliation, M indemnity. The writ was an inquisition, which no human power bad tbe ngbt to place apon tbe citizen it was an in quisition , because it broke off those juduciary trusts which might be said to have been respected ever since the oiniuK of the Christian era. Ua would next con sider IheefTiCtot the Actat.d Writ upon those called opoo to give information to the Receiver. This was the p-irtol the subject in which he was mostly coucerned It calli J apon him, as an attorney, to violate tbe coufi deuce of bis client. He claimed bis privilege, as an at torney, and contended that, by tie law of ihe land.be was entitled to keep the secrets that were entrusted to him (Grteoleaf on Evidence, VoL 1, 328.) This was tbe law of South Carolina; a law which he bad saoo- ticm d by bin oath, wLen he came into that court to qualify as an attorney. In like manner, the writ called upon trustees, administrators and agents to violate their several trusts, end this, too, witbont affording them any protection from responsibility, With regard to merchants, wbo were called up ou to discover debts due alito enemies, be de nied that it was pofsible for tbe merchant to sta'e to whom be was now indebted for goods obtained from alien enemies, inasmuch as mercantile paper floats all over the commercial world, and the debtor has no means of knowing wLether his notes will, at maturity, turn np in London, liichmond or Jew Orleans, lie noped tnat be Bi'gl t live to see the day whea tbe Sequestra' ion Act would be held a bud plea against a boa fvle debt due any wltere. The writ, besides, waa not issued in con formity with the terms of the Sequestration Act. It was not lnued upon any proceedirg before a Ui and Jury, but was, itself, a primary proceeding, and could not under te terms of the Act, be, at it purported to be, retrospictive in its character. Lastly, b agreed that the whole proceeding was contrary to the law of the land, and void according to the law of nations. He ex plained the hardships to which its operation subjected our merchants, compelling them to pay cash, which they had ntvtr rwivid, or snfler sn execution upon tbeir property. I bis, bo said, was worse than war ; it was starvation and pepetual ruin. He hoped that the Act might be construed in accordance with the law, and that the citizen might be relieved from these distresses, which must, inevi:avjly, follow an arbitrary enforcement of its provisions. ! J njr. Mitehelh, followed on the sams tide. Ut propo sed, first, to impeach the Sequestration Law, to show that, tlioogh it stood apon the Statute Book, it was no law, mm it wauieu me truio ana reamy or a law, ana that it wanted the authority on which it might be en acted. Unless thia authority waa granted by the Con stitution, it did not exist lie would ask, then, where is tbe character in which thia extraordinary right is granted ? It must be derived from the war making power, or it existed nowhere, if tbe war making pow er included all other powers which might advance the objects of tbe war, tbe question woald be solved. But no objection so monstrous had ever yet been held. He then proceeded to argue that the power could not be claimed nnder the right to make captures by I tnd or by water. He admitted that Sequestration was nu attribute of sovereignty, but he denied that it was necessarily or usually a war power. South Carolina had alwaja re garded this as one of the attributes of her stvereignty not delegated to the Federal Government He reviewed Mr. Behjami.n's construction of the Act, in interpret ing it as a generel writ of attachment, a thing unknown to the law. There was a wide difference between the witness and tbe informer. The Court might summon all, except professional men, to the witness stand, but could oot go out into tbe streets and call upon every man to tnrn informer. Society could ask from the citizen his fortune and bis life: but it could not ask him for his personal honor. The general might order his men to the forlorn hope; but, when he wants a spy, he - must go to volunteers. , Mr. Milks replied in behalf of tbe Government in ao able speech of considerable length. lie quoted copiously from VViieatok, KKNT.and other authorities, to prove the existence of the right to siq iester, claiming it as an incident to the war making power residing tn the Legis lative Department af the Confederacy. The argument will be continued to-day by Mr. Frri obo against tbe law, and Mr. IJaykk in its favor We will give Mr. Petigrew's argument as reported by tbe Mercury in to-morrow's issue. Jour. From the intelligence lately received respecting the tripple intervention of England, France and Spain, in tbe affairs ol Mexico, we may snfely anticipate a check to the meditated schemes of the Lincoln Administration in that country. Although the ostensible object of the European tripartite alliance is to collect long standing debts, due to subjects of the three allied powers, it may be salcly concluded that tbeir action will considerably modify the policy, domestic and foreicn, of onr sister Republic. . That they would suffer the United states to land an army in Mexico is, at least, doubtful. Should this blotlnde become " un fait accotripH," we may look forward, in all likelihood, to a brisk trade, through Mextw, with our Southwestern territories. If Enslann in the face of the strong remonstrances cf the United States Minister winked at the departure of an armed steamer from her ports, destined for tbe Confederate States, we may look forward to a spirit of like Irietdiicess to assure us tnat we need expect no cnmplication with ber in connection with our intercourse with Mexico.

Herald ou the subject of the arrival of tbe Bermuda, her cargo, etc, we venture to transfer to these columns the following description of her appearance, which we find in one of the papers of the interior: - She has the rig of a full rigged brig, and coming into port nnder sail, with a light head of steam, and her smoke stack down, bc'r appearance, at a short distance, indicated nothing more than an ordinary brig. She has no sign of part holes from the outside, snd the only in dication on tbe decks that she is designed for a war ves sel, is the presence of four ring bolts firmly fixed in the decks. . She is designed to carry four gncs on deck, and altbongh there are no gun carriages to be seen, yet there are four ten inch rifle cannon tlung in a way tbat they could be brcught into action, bad there been occasion, cn very abort notice. Uer bulwarks, instead of being solid, aa usual, were constructed of fancy wire netting. She presents a beautiful appearance externally, and when she is fully fitted for action the will, no doubt, prove an ugly customer for tbe enemy to cope with. -V- 1 i ' : Warren Stone an eminent physician of New Orleans, who has been in attendance on the army of the Poto mac long enough to ascertain its wants in the way of food, says the corn meal and beans, or cow peas, which are in great abundance in tbe Southern Confederacy, are wholesome, nutricious and palatable. Wheat flour cannot well be cooked iu camp, and ought Dot to be sent there, except in moderate quantities, until it is cooked in tbe shape of hard bread.

Angela He family Faruew taJ bu ll a splendid and ctly villa on the batiks of the Tirwr, aoJ cardinal Farnese. on succeeding to its possession, reqirgted Raphael to nr.. dertake tbe fttfco-pa'ioting on tue walls of the talon. The great artist fur a Ioug tini r !utd th tak, but bis F.minence having won the interwasion of tbe Fornaiina, Raphael consented, and promiw-d to employ all his tut ems to the work, uodVr the condition, however, that cone should be allowed to look at it before its complctitn. It ia well known that the rivalry existieg between Raphael and Angelo hfsd degenerated into actual jeal ousy, and tbat there were at that timg not a L-w aaiontr tbe connoisseurs at Rome who preferred the grace and besuty of Raphael's paintings to tho powerful produc tions of the gigantic geuius of his rival. . Michael An gclo was aware of thefuct, and his excitable and haugh ty temper often betrayed him ioto malicious tricks against Raphael. When the villa paintings were in rntirsp fi rfttiiil TrfMrr-ea .tnttttM .lnA .t. i . - -- ' ft . - , C1H wh v;.tu lUlglU of at Rome. Some spoke with euthuaiaHoi of the "Ban quet of the Uoda and the Union of Pspcbe ;" others were inexhaustible in praise of the beautiful "Galatea ;" while each and all expressed a desire and curiosity to know what Angola would say of them. All tbese rumors and praises of a work that nobo ly had as vet seen, and lew mil kr.pw h nnm ho.;,,.. reached the ears of the jealous Angelo, lie swore by Dantes "Inferno" to use all the meant- io hit power,' fair and foul, to obtain a glimpse of tho work io the villa, and to injure it beyond redemption. At that pe riod Raphael was so efiamored of his Fornarina, tbat be spent whole dayt in her company, and never dreamt of taking np bis professional brush, while he hardly ever made bis appearance at tbe villa before noon-time. One morning Michael Angelo rose early, disguised him-" self as an acqua vitario, (ppirit hawker,) took a basket filled with biscuits and liquert to the villa, where bis cry, "Liquers, liqaers!" soon brought down from the ladders within, all tbe masons and laborers wbo were still emDloved in tbe interior af ihn atrnet opened the front door and invited tbe seller to bring in bis wares. Leaving his basket in their hands, AngelQ made his way to the salons, and pasting from room to to room be took a rapid survey of tbe various painting?, but remained, fixed with admiration before the yet un finished "Galatea." Observing aa empty tpot in t!ic centre of the picture, he took up piece of charcoal, mounted the seaffjld, and drew in the vacant space a co lossal head of Jupiter. He then left tho villa by one of the side doors, forgetting his buskel and wares in tbo fulness of his mischievous joy. At noon, Raphael ap peared, and no sooner had he caught sight of the mag nificent head of Jupiter in the centre of hit "Galatea," than he exclaimed: "Michael Angtlo! Micbtnl Angelo!" and left tbe villa never to re-enter it Tbe work remain ed unfinished by him, and the mischievous head is etill preserved under a glass, and excites the admiration of artinfa nntt rroinniuoenra - XjIKD.
