SUNDAY, AITJL 21. 1867; Harmony of Action. TTe cannot bat tbink that the present aspoctof political affairs in the South is more promising than at auy time since the close of the war. At the latter pcrioJ two dis cordant elements wcro suddenly exhibited in direct antagonism each to tlio other. The subjected white on tho one hand, and the newly enfranchised nogroc, incited by the evil teachers of Radical Republicanism on the other, were suddenly forced into new relations. An equal etremity of opin ion of each party was only one of the na tional results brought almnt by the man ner in which tho war closed. Kinro Hun, time, as nsnal, has worked its own wonders, and tho extremists of either side have been gradually approaching each other, nntil now the two races, whoso interests in' many points are identically tho same, are natu rally harmonizinc: together. This state of affairs it is one of the most cherkhed ideas of the Radicals to prevent, and to this end cycry exertion is being called into requisi tion. A vigorous campaign is about to be inaugurated by them ; political pilgrims are to perambulate tho South ; govcrment frauds are to be scattered broadcast among the faithful ; incendiary pamphlets are to be circulated ; the President and tho ad ministration to bo denounced; conlLscation to bo urged, and every specios of morality and virtue which will not aid in rarty ag- i 1.-1 a : i granaizemcnt VO vo umnncu its iicrtiicui and treasonable Yet we opino that tho tank of recon structing tho South upon tho Radical theory will be a Herculean task, and one which that party will not bo ablo to Accomplish. A thorough and resolute resistance upon tho part of tho Con servatiyca is the only means by which their object can be defeated, and tho South re stored upon anything liko an honorable and just basis to its olden placo in tho Uni on. To effect this, wo must rely, in a great measure-, upon the uid of our frcedmeu. Tho two electoral elements of tho South, tho white and the colored race, formerly bo diamotrically opposed to oach other, but now, through tho influences of an equal community of interest approaching so nearly tho dividing line, must all together work harmoniously, and for the same end. That they will do this, and that a true cor dially of feeling is rapicfyy being cemented between the two people, is evidenced more and more on each succeeding day. The re cent caucuses in Richmond, happening so nearly together, and exhibiting srfch" differ ent degrees of feeling, is proof positive of this. In the ono we see a gathering of dis coruant masses, delegates of their own choosing, whose deliberations were marked with violence, falsehood; and every discor dant clement which the fierce prejudices of untutored minds can produce. In the other, we have beheld a deliberate and har monious assembly of intelligent colored delegates, meeting together in a grave ses . sion, discussing calmly and without pas sion, the true interests of both races, and assisted in their deliberations by some of the most respected and intelligent gentle men of the city. And this, too, within two years from the time when those two races moved together in the same communities as acknowledged and bitter enemies, one to the other. Tho gall and wormwood held to tho lips of tho Confederate, ha3 lost much of its bitterness, and tho vilo prompt ings'and teachings of the Radical emissa ries so sedulously instilled into the minds of the, African, have paled before the great er light of truth and integrity. If the past two years, bitter as they have been to ' many, have produced such happy results, what may not be hoped for before the next cycle shall roll its course ? Of a ver ity there is cause for thedisturbance in the Radical camps, and for the new hopes which are arising in tho Conservative breast, indelibly upon the mind, and that is, re-adoplion into the I nton. lesr-ion they prefer, to . learn in their own manner, and for their own benefit, and riot from the look of " Radical Propensities' Kf freely held up before.-them by the Northern press. , - v Iu the same article we have to thank the Hi-roll (earnestly this time) for a little bit of encouragement which it has uninten tionally given to the Conservatives of the eonntrv. It says : " 'f her, the crgroep, erem to realize the fact that their interests are identified with the South and tho 8 Hithnrn whites. Thin has been shown in many ine' slices lately which we have heretofore noticed, tin! we f.ee from the account of a mass meeting held in tli" thn'rejat Richmond, published in yes terdny's Ilcrn'd, tlmt the negroes called upon the white' for advice. The call was signed by thirteen influential and intelligent colored men to Marma- ntike Johnson and others, asking fur impartial and salutary auvice, wlk h, as tlmVigners day. " we ho much need, liivlitipr ourselves surrounded by cir- enm.-tance both novel and embarrassing." Thna it appears from the deposition of the negroes gen iraliv that the white t -ode of the Houth will be able to control tho negro voto and bold a large bal ance of power in the polities of the country." Very true for you, Mr. Heraldat least it is our -universal how and desire that your prophecy may prove true this once. And in return we third: that we can assure you that if the result docs not justify your prediction, that it will not bo for tho want of tho undivided endeavors of both South ern whiten and Son I hern blacks. Roth race?, we hope, may eo each their own in- ter"v-t in pursuing the wimc course, and with Ihejr united strength, thus reach, to gether, a nolitionl iH-e-eimnenco that the R.id icnl Destruc.lioni.sli! can never attain. I awed by the words of one whose desstiny Buttle last I nad keen bo strangely accomplished. Ten aaya were passed in resolves and connter resolves and the link that bound him to fortune was broken. Josephine was di vorcedand, as he said himself at St. He lena from that hour his fall began. Josephine was divorced, but her love did not cease : in her retirement she joyed in all his successes, and prayed that he might be saved from the fruits of ambition. When his son was born, she only regretted that she was not near him in his happiness, and when he went a prisoner to Elba, she beg ged that ahe might share his prison, and relieve his woes. Every article that he had used at her residence remained as he left it ; she would not let a chair be moved. The book in which he had been last reading was there, with the page doubled down and the pen that he had last used was by it, with ink dried on its point When her death drew nigh she wished to sell her jew els to send the fallen emperor money ; her will was submitted to his correction. She died before his return from Elba ; but her last thoughts were of him and France ; her last words expressed the hope and belief, "that she had never caused a tear to flow." She was buried in the village church of Ruel, and her body was followed to the grave not only by princes and generals, but by two thousand poor whose hearts had been made glad by her bounty. Her marble monument bears only this inscription, "ECGEMt AND HORTEXSE TO JOSEPHINE." What a fund to future writers is her character and fate ; and what a lesson to all of us, whether in prosperity or adversity 1 ! TI nn star of w:mv. Till: EMPRESS JOSEPH fNE. Superfluous. The New York Herald of the 18th inst. in a mongrel article in which white and blacks, radical and conservatives, and several other species the genus liomo are indiscriminately mixed, volunteers once more some sago advice to tho South. Whilo applauding the proceedings of the late mass meeting held at the Richmond theatre, and admitting tho probable political action of Southern whites and Southern blacks to gether, it yet cannot clear its skirts of its old habits of giving advice. . As usual, this advice ia given us gratis, and also, aa usual, it is worth about the same Hear it : " While the Southern blacks arc seeking ad-rice from the whites, we think a littlo advice to the whites themselves may bo useful. Wo confess they are showing a great deal of good sense in general, and are going 'along very well ; but thore Is too much of their old State rights dogma stick ing to them still. They seem to be desirous of ac commodating themselves to their changed condi tion and tho now order of things, but are unable to eradicate their old notions. Now, it will be well for them to understand that there can be no go ing back to the old State rights theory and con troversy. The progress of the country and the tremendous war we have gone through have given an interpretation to the constitution that will be unchangeable and final. If, therefore, the South erners should attempt to revive their old theory of government, and ally themselves again with the copperhead democrats of the North, they will make a peat mistake. This theory has become Incurably odious, and no great party can hereaf ter be formed upon that aa a platform." Now, if the terrible lessons which we have been receiving from the enlightened North since the year 1860, should have failed to teach us that which the . Herald wishes bo well understood, it would hardly be necessary for that paper to assume the language of a monitor. The Sonth has learnt the lesson, the terrible lesson that it has been. They have not as yet, it is true, perfected themselves in it, but there ia only ea$ racre recitation necessary to ingraft it When a few centuries shall have thrown their shadows upon the strange fortunes of Napoleon, and given to everything about him tho tino of romance, the fctory of his lir.st wifo will seem to the student rather a fablo than a fact ; ho will look upon her as wo look upon Mary of Scotland, but with deeper interest ; for the, far moro truly than her lord, was from first to last "tho child of destiny." Told, whilo yet unmarried, that bhe would be a wife, a widow, and then Queen of France the entire fulfillment of tho first part of tho prophecy gave her courage to believe in tho lut part also, when under sentence of death. When her bed was taken from her, because tho was to dio in tho morning, she told her weeping friends that it was not bo, that she should yet sit upon that throno on tho ruins' of which Robespierre then stood triumphant, and when asked in mockory to choose her maids of honor, since fcho was to bo queen, she did choose them, and they were her maids of honor when half of Europe looked up to her. On that night, which was to have been her la&t on earth, Robespierre fell. Had ho fallen a few days earlier her first husband would have lived, had his fall been but ono day later, Josephine herself would havo been among tho ten thousand victims, whoso names wo have never heard. Rut he fell on that night, '.and her destiny was accomplished. hho married Napoleon, and through, tier and as her husband, ho was appointed to tho army of Italy ; step by step he rose, till at last tho diadem rested oa her head. The second part of theprophecy was prov ed true, and she began to look forward to that loss of power and rank which had been foretold, and which wa9 to close the strange drama of her life. And he that wedded the child of destiny grew every day moro strong and more grasping. In vain did Josephine attempt to rulo his ambition and chasten his aims ho was an emperor, he wished to found an empire, and bv slow decrees he made him self familiar with tho thoughts " of putting her away. hen the campaign of lbUU was at an end, hardened and narrowed, his former kindnes3 was goue, hi playfulness was checked, he consulted her but seldom and seldom stole upon her private hours with that familiar 'love that had so of ten made her heart; lean. She saw that her hours drew nigh. It was the evening of the 20th-of Novem ber. tho Court were at .Paris in honor of the kin? ii Saxony. Josephine sat at her window, Booking down upon the river, and musing on the dark fate before her, when she heard! Napoleon's step at her door. She sprung to open it, using her usual ex clamationi "Manami 1" ne embraced her so affectictaatelv that for an instaut all her fears and woes seemeed vain. She led him to a chair, placed herself at his feet, and lookincr up into his face, smiled through her tears. "You aro-unhappy, Josephine," said the Emperor. "Not with you sire. "Bah !" said he quickly. "Why call me sire i lnese snows or state si eai aa true joy from us." "Then why seek them t answered Jose phine. - The emperor made no reply. "You are now among the first of men." she continued. "Why not quit war, ambition out of your counsels, bend your thoughts on the good of France, and live at home among those that love you !" "Josephine," said he, turning his face from her, 'I t is not I, it is France demands the sacrifice." "Are you sure of that, my lord ?" said his wife. "Have you probed your heart to the bottom? Is it not ambition that prompts you to seek reasons for repudiating me ? for, think not, Napoleon, I misunderstand you ; are you sure it is the love of France?" "Every word that she spoke touched him to the quick ; and raising hastily, he replied Madame, I havo my reasons. Good eve ning." "Stay, sire," said she taking hold of his arm, "wo must not part in anger. 1 sub mit. Since you wish it, I submit cheerful ly. It is not my naturo to oppose your will. I lovo you too deeply. Nor shall I cease to love you, Napolcou, because I am to leave your throno and your side. 11 you still go on victorious I shall rejoice' with you. If J reverse comes, I will pray for you morning and night, and in the hope that you will think of me." Hardened as he was, Napoleon had loved his wifo deeplv and lone : and her submis sion to his -stern resolve her calm but mournful dignity her unshaken love, moved even him ; for a moment affection struggled vith ambition. Ho turned to embrace her again. Rut in that moment her faco and form had changed. Her eye was lit with a lire like that of insanity, and her whole person seemed inspired, ho felt himself in the presence of a superior being. She led him to the window, andSthrew it open. A thin mist rested upon the Seine, and over the gardens of the palace all around was silent ; among the stars then be fore them, one was far brighter than the rest : she pointed to it. , "Ronapart," said she, "that star is mine, to that and not to yours was promised em pire ; through me and through my desti nies you have risen ; part from me and you fall The spirit of her that foresaw my rise to royalty even now communes with my spirit, and tells me that your fate hangs fin mine. Believe me or not, if we hence forth walk assunder you will leave no empire behind you, and will die yourself in shame and sorrow and with a broken spirit." . He turned away pick at heart, and. oyer- From the Ashville News The Rock Iala-nd Factory. We felt truly sad a few days ago, on reaoV mg, in a Charlotte journal, a correspon dence between the President of the Rock Island Manufacturing Company of this State, and a gentleman from New Jersey, who, on his way home, had purchased cloth from that Company for a suit of clothes. ! We had supposed that this Factory was in ! a nourishing condition, and that but few merchants in the South, at least, would consider their stocks perfect without a complete assortment of Rock Island Fac tory cloths ; but the President, in his com munication to tho New Jersey gentleman, tells a very different tale. He says it is ' languishing for want of support, and that but few merchants at the South give it pat ronage. Wc are at a loss to know the rea son of this. We have been acquainted with tho cloths from this factory for many years, and always purchased them in pre ference to any others, when we could get them, because thoy are more durable and equally as line as any other goods, beneath the grade or liroud cloth, we care not where they are made. We have now a winter coat made from it that we purchased m i: ebruary, I860, which has seen some very hard service, but bids fair to make a respoctablo appearance Jor years to come, and after wo have done with it our " bet ter half" expects to make one of our httle scions comfortable winter clothes out of it. But aside from tho intriucic value of the article, in our opinion there is a moral ob ligation resting on every individual in the South, to sustain our Factories, more par ticularly now, and when, as in the case of tho Rock Island Factory, the goods pro duced by them are equal in quality and price. Nothing can be more suicidal, in the present depressed condition of our beloved South, than to neglect our own Manufacto ries, aud run after foreign fabrics, iu every way inferior. Will the Southern people never come to their senses and act wisely in this matter ? For our part, we feel prouder in a suit of cloth made by our friends and neighbors than we would m the finest broad-cloth made at the tip of the fashion. But it is not so much the people at large who are to blame as the merchants. They prefer going North for their goods, and many of them have got to thinking that nothing can be profitable unless it comes from the big Nor'ard. We aro confident the Rock Island cloths would sell readily if our merchants would put them on the mar ket. For many years we have enjoyed a personal acquaintance with the energetic and truly honorable President of the Com pany, aud unhesitatingly endorse any re commendation he may give his goods. We hope some of our merchants will get stocks of their summer cloths, for wq want a suit of it as soon as it arrives. Send to John A. Young, President of the Company, Char lotte, N. C. LITEST TS .

The reports of the egress of Maximilian from Queretaro without giving battle, and the rumor of the Liberal forces being in part defeated and' suf fering for supplies, are directly contradictory, The report of a revolution in San Luis Potosi is also denied. Letters received from Juarez to-day make no mention of any disturbance having taken place or being anticipated.

Campbell, on the duty and policy of the bouth, re ferred to bv ns yesterday, is addressed to General Longstreet and declares a full con currence on the part of the writer with the views presented by General Ij. in the let ter, the substance of which we have pub hsheo. len fotates, says juageu., "are now submissive to a form of government unknown to the Constitution of the United States. The judiciary power of the Union is dependent for its organization and dis tribution upon Congress.' It is quite fair to conclude that no arrangement of the ju dicial power would be suffered to remain, that seriously incommoded the enforce ment of these measures. Nor am I able to perceive that the judicial power nnder its present organization is adequate to afford substantial relief m the existing emergency, even 11 the opinion 01 the courts were as favorable as might de desired. "I regard it as antinexorable fact that there is no constitutional opposition that can be made to the military bills that will have any other operation than to increase the existing anarchy. " These military bills attord to the poo pie of the States, with large exceptions, the means of restoring the supremacy of civil ordoriand terminate the domination of military rule. I may grant that the condi tions axe harsh and rigorous; that they vio late the fundamental law of the United States; and that they promise for the fu ture much of insecurity and instability. 15ut these admissions do not change the u.tf- pect of the question, as now presented, nor do they lessen the obligations of our peo ple to take tho measures opon to them that will best promote the common weal. He counsels thepeople to exercise every right, exercise every faculty and employ every power that these military bill3 allow, with undaunted courage, unwearied in du ty, and in undisturbed tranquility of soul, to terminate the existing conditions of dis order. Our people have shown a magna nimity, a heroism, a capability for self sac nhee, under the demands of duty, that uiuat rucognizeu ana rewaraea; ana a submission to untoward events does not imply a surrender of these great qualities. From Washington. ' Washington April 20 P. M. The Senate went into executive session shortly after meeting,) but subsequently temporarily re opened, when Mr. Sumner offered the following resolution, proposing the good offices of the Uni ted States between the contending parties in Mex ico: Whereas, the Republic of Mexico, though re lieved the presence of a foreign enemy by the final withdrawal of the French troops, continues to be convulsed by a bloody civil war in which Mexicans are ranged onj opposite sides: and whereas, the United States are bound, by neighborhood and republican sympathies, to do all in their power for the welfare of the Mexican people, and this obli gation becomes more apparent from the present condition of affairs where each party is embittored by conflict: Therefore Jiesolved, That it is proper for the Government of the United States, acting in the interests of humanity and civilization, to tender its good offi ces by way or mediation between the contending parties of the Republic of Mexico, in order to avert a deplorable civil war. and to obtain the es tablishment of a republican government on the foundation of peace and harmony. Mr. Henderson gave notice of his intention to offer the following as a substitute Resolved, By the Senate of the United States, that, in case Maximilian shall at an early day, see fit to abdicate his authority in Mexico, and shall signify a desire to withdraw himself and his for eigu troops from the country, to the end that civil war may at once be terminated, the Senate would be gratified that the President would tender the good offices of our government to secure at the hands of the republican government of Mexico for the native followers of Maximilian, such kind and humane treatment as characterise the conduct of civilized warfare. , The resolution and substitute were laid on the table and ordered to be printed. Mr. Cole submitted the following, which lies over : . - Whereas, a misunderstanding exists between Prussia and franca, springing out of the owner ship of the Grand Duchy of Luxemberg, and war botween those powers is imminent, therefore, Jiesolved, That the President of the United States be requested to offer its friendly mediation to the end that the effusion of blood may be avoid ed. took a recesi from live until eight Tne IndiansFighting on the Texas Fron -- tier. From the New Orleans Times. Through the courtesy of Assistant Adju tant General Hartsuff we are enabled to give our readers late intelligence from the Texas border. Captain John A. Wilcox, 4th cav alry, commanding post of Fort Clarke, re ports particulars of a scout in which he had some hard fighting with greatly superior numbers, and is complimented by General Gnihn, commanding the district of Texas, for the manner in which he conducted it. On the 6th of March, with tif ty men, he started out and soon struck a large trail, be tween camp and tlio liio Grade, but three days old. This he pursued (with thirty men and two days' rations) for four days, crossing the Pecos, and coming unobserved upon tho Indian camp of 12o warriors. A sudden attack routed the red rascals, C ip tainWilcox,losing his Mexican guide, Seron- mio latino. Before he could burn the lodges, however, he was attacked by a second force and compelled to take refuge on a mountain, tho Indians keeping a re spectful distance from the Spencer rifles. Capturing a Mexican boy, twelve years old, the Captain learned that still a third band was coming up, and two other parties camped up the Pecos had been sent for ; that the Indians would surround them and keep up a desultory right until their ammu nition gave out, then massacre them. Con cluding that it was best to attempt getting out of the ugly scrape, Captain Wilcox sent but skirmishers who covered his decent from the mountain and retreat across the stream. Theglndians numbered, the boy stated, about 1,500 men, less some twenty killed by our cavaly in this afiair. The party had now been four days with out rations, and on-the nrst night of their retreat had to kill a horse to eat. On the second day they marched forty miles through "an awful norther, and snow and hail, which caused the men tor' suffer terri bly. Finally, after suffering all man could endure, the detachment reached Supply Camp, on Devil s river. Captain Wilcox speaks highly of the courage and fortitude of the entire party; The Indians they en countered were Camanches, Apaches, and Kickapoos. During Captain -Wilcox s absence, Lieu tenant D. A. Irwin was left in charge of Fort Clarke, and he reports that on the 9th of March he took twelve men mounted on the only serviceable horses remaining, and followed some citizens who had struck a fresh Indian trial, leading toward Piedra Pinto Mountain. After proceeding five miles, he met the citizens returning, they having come up with the party, and, after some little fighting, captured all their stock fifteen horses. Concluding that the ori ginal party had divided, and one wing go ing to Mud Creek, Lieutenant Irwin pur sued that direction, and at daylight next morning some of the citizens struck a trail. The party followed all that day and until afternoon of the next, marching sixty miles north northeast, and camenp with the In- i dians on Devil's river, near Camp Hudson. 1 I knew nothing about the place, says tho report, nor was there any one with me who did, but I charged down the mountain to the ravine where the Indians had retreated on discovering us. After going a httle way it Was discovered that the river was be tween pursuer and pursued, and the latter were endeavoring to get off their stock.

ASHLAXD, ScHTTTLKILIi Co., Pa., April la. 1 send you the particulars, so far as they can be ascertained, of the accident which occurred m the coal mine of Ban croft, Lew is" & Co. , near- this plaee. About 9 o'clock on Friday evening an explosion of fire damp took place while twelve men were yet in the mine, eleven of whom have been taken out dead. One man was res cued alive, but in a state of convulsive ex citement, caused by the inhalation of sul phur, and raving to such an extent that it required the efforts of five men to hold him. lie was placed under the medical treatment of Dr. Swain, of this place, who to-day considers him out of danger and in a fair way to speedy recovery. As to how the accident happened noth ing is yet known ; all those who could pos sibly give any information regarding the cause or origin being killed, exceptinc (Iviunie) the one mentioned above, whose medical attendant will not allow him to be questioned on tho subject. Thoso killed were buried yesterday. Most of their famines are left in desti ? J. ; tuie circumstances, une woman lose u husband and a brother. The whole, town wears a degree of sadness before unknown. This is the second accident of tho kind which has happened in this mine ; tho first occurring last summer, by which twenty or thirty men were badly injured, and two or three killed. John Km me this afternoon is said to have regained his senses, and ill soon be able to five some account of the cause of Friday's accident. Had the accident occurred in the day, no doubt sixty or seventy men would havo boen killed. : Lynch Uw In Iowa.
