A CONGLOMERATION I
At the recent Festival of the Democratic Asso
ciation at Washington City, Gen. Lahe made a
speeeli in which he exclaimed, amidst much grate
ful cheering, "A union of the Democract for ihe
take of (hi Union .'" What a union this will be;
Rhett, Quitman, Van Buren, Benton, Ranioul,
Davis, Yancey, Cass, Douglass Seces4ooist8,
Abolitionists, Freesoilers, Cotnpromisists and An
ti Compromiseiats. Interventionists and Ami In
terventionists all seated arosRd the same table
on which are spread Rixcjiif's "seven principles,'
"five loaves and two fishes 1" The Union is safe,
"beiag kept together by the co'-.esire power of
public plunder!" So said ;ha illustrious Cal
aoun !
JTThe Massachusetts Coalitiok of Dcsao
cmu and Freesoilers are partitioning the booty
atttr gaining the victory. In addition to ihe elec
tron of Gov- Bou"TWiT,L, the eoaventioa of both
htu&es have elected eight coalitionists members of
the Governor's Council. The Boston Poet growls
atiht prodigious appetite for office on the part of
the Freetoil wing of the party, thus:
TheFreeioil branch of the coalition boldy claim
tke most important offices. Some of ihem claim
sn councillors, we understand, to three Democrats,
lid even insist upon having a Freesoil council
man from Bostoo, and upon throwing Mr. Cush
man, the lieutenant governor, overboard, putting
AnMsa Walker in his place, and electing Mr.
Palfrey Secretary of State the Mr. Palfrey who
expreascd himself so much opposed to any asso
ciation wiUj Democrats, only a year ago. These
are curiuus'times ; but the benevolence of the sge
so extraordinary, that people will not be as

. . FOREIGN NEWS.
The news by the last arrival, the Asia, aboyrt
the entire restoration of tranquility in France.
So far the number of votes given is 7.839,216 for
Louis Napoleon, and 639,737 against him. Well
might Baroche, the Vice Presiuent, in announcing
the returns la Louie, say, "France has confidence
in you." Yet what ate we to make of those en.
thusiastie cries for the Republic and for the free
dom of the press, which have occurred at the
Theatres We give Louis Napoleon's reply to
M. Baroche and the Conwulutive Commission :
w Gentlemen : France baa responded to the loyal
appeal that 1 made to her. She has comprehended
that I departed from legality only to return to right.
More than seren millions of votes have just absolrcd
me by justifying an act which had no other object
than to save France and Europe, peruana, front years
of troubles and calamity. (Stroug marks of assent.)
I thank yau for having shown officially te what ex
tent this manifestation was national arid spontaneous
If I congra ulate myself on this immense adhetioe, it
is not from pride, but because1 it gives me the force
to speak and act as becomes the chiuf of a great na
tion like outs. (Loud and repeated cril of 'braro.)
I comprehend all the grandeur of my new mis
sion, and I do not deceive myself as to its difficulties.
iiut with an upright heart, with the co-operatipn or
all right minded men who like you wll assist . me
with their intelligence and support me with their pa
triotism with the tried devoteduess of our valiaBt
army, and with the protection which I shall to mor
row sotemnly beseech Hearen to grant me, I hope
to render myself worthy of the confidence which the
people continue to place in me. (Loud approbation.)
I hope to secure the destinies of France by fouuding
institutions which respond at the same time to the
democratic iusti cts of the nation, and to the universal
ly expressed desire to hare henceforth a stiong and
respected government. Strong marks of adhesion.
In fact, to give satisfaction to the exigencies of the
moment, by creating a syslem wlvich reconstitutes
authority, without wounding the feeling of equality,
and without closing any path of improvement, is to
lay the foundation of the ouly edifice capable o! sup
porting a wise and beneficent liberty."
The speech was received with cries of "Vive
Napoleon !!"' Yive la President!"
The President has re-established the French
Eagle on the standards of the army and also on
the Cross of the Legion ot Honor. The Consul
tative Committee aro also about to invite tbe
"Prince" to take up his residence at the Palace of
the Tuilleries instead of the Elysee. These are
significant of au approaching assumption of Roy
alty. The freedom of the press too is to be anni
hilated. The new Constitution so frames the
Legislature as to make it a mere tool of the Ex
ecutive. The Senate will consist of 160 members
chosen among Frenchmen possessing a large in,
come, and sitting with closed doors. The people
are to elect 150 candidates to the other house, of
whom the President is to select 250 to compose
that branch of the Legislature. It is thought that
these legislators will not be permitted to speak,
but simply te listen to three speakers appointed
by the Government from tbe'Couucil of State and
to three speakers appointed by the Senate to ex
plain and defend bills which the Ministry alone
have the right of initiating.
The relations of France with Austria and Bel-
gium are said te be satisfactory.
A "LYCEUM."
We hope that the suggestion, made in this Pa
per a lew wseas since, relative to ine lormation
ef a society of the above character, will not be
allowed to slumber. So far as we have had op
portunities of learning the sentiment of tbe com
munity upon me proposition, it seems to nave
met with a favorable reception. We hear, how
ever, as yet, oi no steps to carry it out, practically
and really. VVs have done our duty, in pressing
the subject upon the attention of our citizens.
The following extract from the Report of a
Committee of the Maeon (Ga.) Lyceum, recestly
established, clearly sets forth tbe objects, advan
tages and effects oi such an imttitutiou :
'-The exercises ol the Lyceum consist in the
discussion of such questions (other loan sectarian)
as may be agreed upon by its members, under
tbe Government of ail tbe rules of regular d ebate;
ihe delivery of addresses from time t lime by its
members, and ihe readmg'of oilginal essays before
tbe Society. The Association also contemplates
Uie formation ot a Library, ucu is a succinct
statement ot the object and exercises of this insti
tution.
From the medium through which this coramu
nieation is made, the Committee feel bound to
condense these remarks as much as possible. The
subject is one fraught with interest. la the view
of the undersigned, with a very ample knowl
edge ol the social condition ot this community,
one of the greatest necessities under which our
young men especially labor is, tbe want ot some
place of resort a l which ihe y may spend those
.evenings which are not engrossed by business in
an agreeable and profitable manner in such i
manner as will conduce not only to tneir own in
dividual satisfaction, but to the well being of those
wi'h whom they associate, r or tbe want of such
a resort, bow many talented, frank and noble
young mea have been led to places ol revelry and
dissipation; and by this means, even before tuey
have arrived at years of manhood, have made
total shipwrecks of themselves. This Association
come3iu directly to supply this Lecessity, open
ing its hall weekly with an invitation to this class
especially of our community to come in, and in
tbe midst of the best society, unite in forming a
taste for moral and intellectual pursuits; Uie natu
ral and necessary effect of which must oe to ele
vate tbem above those low and degrading nabits,
the inevitable consequence of ignorance and idle
ness. But the advantages of this institution are not
confined to the young, but likewise address them
selves to those of mature years. When it is re
membered that the enlightened city of Edinburg
Uie modern Athens, the seat of science and
philosophy acknowledges herself mainly indeb
ted to associations like the one whose claims are
now presented to you, for her elevation from a
state ot semi-barbarism to her presen icondition of
literary and philosophical advancement; and wheu
it is remembered that Robertson and Hume, Ad
am Smith, Dr. Blair, and a host of other illus
trious men cl science and reputation who, by
their genius and writings, have secured to them
selves an imperishable fame had the fire of their
geuius kindled at an altar similar lo the one we
now sek permanently to establish in this com.
ruumty; can u be hoping against hope to expect,
thai the men ot age, dignity and influence ol our
fclinw-ci iziens, will pus forth some effort in be'
hall of this cause?
There is a popular error abroad in the country,
which consists in the belief thai none but profes
sional men should concern themselves with ihe
discussion of literary and other subjects, or engage
in writing essays, or the delivery of addresses.
The consequences of such an opinion are highly
injurious to the interests of society, as tbey teud to
confine these qualifications within a very narrow
sphere, aiyl lo unfit a very large proportion of
' 1 ' ' J ' - . - 1 - - r; ; r , , : i i 1 , . 1 .
citizens for the discharge ot most important func
lions. Let the merchants renjwraber, that one of
outmost distinguished members of Congress from
Massachusetts was taken from their body, and one
now represents this Government at the most dis
tinguished court in Europe. Let the mechanic
also call to mind the many distinguished tndivi'
duals that have been taken from the ranks of his
profession to occupy the mesl important public
posts in the country, requiring the constant exer
cise of the art of public speaking.
One. oi the primary objects of the Macon Ly
ceum is to cultivate a literary taste in the commu
nity; to induce our yonng nies lo read more than
they have heretofore done; to think more; to avoid
every thing calculated to enfeeble the intellect; to
preserve the mind pure and unclouded, constan
tly storing it with useful knowledge, prepared at
all times for the discharge of every duty which,
as good citizens, they may be called upon to per
form," ' , .
"THE SOLIDARITY OF HUMAN INTER
ESTS." Many persons have asked us for aa explanation of
the above phrase, 'which occurs in one of Kossuth's
earliest speeches in tbis countrv. The word "soli
earity" is of course not English, and of course cannot
be found in Webster s Dictionary of the English lan
guage. The French word tolidaire' (adjective,) accor
ding to Fleming and Thibbatis means 'bound for the
Whole" The corresponding adverb "solidarement"
signifies in tolido, for the whole, altogether and one
the whole, "ogetner ...a ou ,
substaquve ioltdartte,. (with
for all." The noun
.1 . . , 1 aL,.;nff
the scute accent over tbe final "e, ) means being
bound, bmdintr." This is the
word that K.ssuth '
used, the Engluh forms of "y" being substituted for
the final accented of the French. In its connexion,
as used bv Kossuth, it is significant enough, mean
ing that each member of what he calls the family of
nations is bound for ihe acts of the whole, and mat
the whole is bound for the acis of any member, m
other words, this expression conveys tbe idea of in
tervention in its broadest and most unlimitea terms

We are indebted, through a friend, to M. Toiho
now resident near Wilmington in this State, an d
well known as an accomplished scholar is almost
every department of erudition, for the following
definition of the word " SolidarUy taken from the
most approved source :

THE WAR FEVER AMONG THE
CLERGY.
Tbe most noticeable feature of the popular ex
eitement in mis country, prouueeu rjy the pre
sence and eloquence ot me great apostle of Euro
pean liberty, is that presented by the clergy a
class of citizens in no way distinguished hereto
fore for a superabundance ol patriotic valor on
occasions demanding the concentration and ex
ercise of the warlike energies of the nation in de
fence of its own rights and honor. They are now
however, brim full of fight. War has no terrors
for them not even a war with all the powers of
ehnstendom at once. I bey are ready to bare
their 'red right arm' in a conflict against the
world combined. Visions of 'blood and carnage
perforated bodies and broken bones no longer flit
before their own atirighted imaginations, or are
by them heid up to affright others. The dove of
peace has flown out of the church window, and
the statue of Mars occupy a conspicuous place in
the tabernacle of the Most High. The warning
v.'ice of the "father ot his country, cautioning
us to beware of foreign alliances and foreign wars
is drowned by the sonorous swell that goes out
from the pulpit urging on the people and the
Government to a grand military crusade against
despotism and in behall ol republicanism through
out the world, la tins crusade, tbranes, principali
ties', and powers, are to be overturned with as much
ease and celerity as the walls oi ancient Jericho,
anu new .political labncs are to emerge from the
ruins, reared under its vivifying influence, aud up
held aud attained by the carnal weapons of thr
church militant. Cannon balls are held up by
the roan ol Goal, to a gaping assembly, as sym
bolical of the sort of arguments which are to be
employed in this great meditated contest. The
zeal of the clergy of New York and' Brooklyn is
caught up by their brethren of Boston; and (rever
sing the natural order of things) Bunker Hill res
ponds to Saratoga and Yoikiown. The war fe
ver is almost universal. It is participated in by
the clergy throughout the Union. In country as
well as in tewn, ihe furor is manifest. This lo
cality, even, is not exempt from it. Although
restrained within more p udential limits here than
elsewhere, it nevertheless shows itself in he lee
tore room, and occasionally peeps out in the Sab
bath sermon.
We are amaaed at this war spirit among the
rUrv. " Their suseeoUbilUil perplexes us. Wo
consider it a roost wonderful phenomenon. We
know not how to account for it. It is inexplica
ble to our philosophy.
Correspondence of the New York Courier.,
KOSS UTH AND-CAPTAIN LONG.
WasHiNGToir, Jaauary 14.
The misrepresentations in regard to Ihe corres
pondence on file in tbe Navy Department, concer
ning the alleged troubles between Kossuth, and the
officers of the Mississippi, are as numerous as
they are strange. No written communications of
the character pretended passed between Capt.
Iong and M. Kossuth, if there were any at all.
It is well known, that the latter gave a construc
tion to the resolution oi Congress far different
than was designed by either house, before he left
Turkey, and that his views on that subject, after
embarking, while hesitating at first, became final
ly confirmed in the purpose of visitiing ihe Uni
ted Mates, with the expectation of securing aid
and co operation in the cause for which he pro
claimed himself to be enlisted.
Upon arriving at Mxrseillet, objection was
made to his landing, which was overcome. by a
pledge to ihe Municipal authorities on the part of
Mr. Uonsul Hodge, mai no popular demonstra
tion should be provoked or arrayed. The pnblic
now know what happened. Subsequently crowds
came off in boats, anticipating an address from
Kossuth, and wheu this was repeated, Captain
Long suggested to bifo itw, propriety of retinug
below so as to prevent the neutrality of the Uni
ted States from being compromised, as these ga
therings threatened to do. A temporary estrange
ment resulted from this cause, which was after
wards reconciled. It was here that Kossuth de-

Kossuth then asked to be landed at Gibraltar,
and in senaratin? at that point from Captain Ling,
he embraced him, and Madame Kossuth exhibit
ed much emotion, as indicating their gratitude
and pain at parting. The correspondence is con
fined to letters between Commodore Morgan and
Capt, Long, and from both to the department.
There is much detail as to the position'of some of
tiie suite; suggestions being made, upon appa
rentlv eood evidence, that the titles of some of its
members were conveniently assumed. It is also
stated that the private secretary ot Kossuth was1
kuown to be a champion of tbe Red Republicans
in France. When a call shall be made in Con
gress, the President shall determine whether to
present the whole testimony as recorded, or por

GREAT BANK ROBBERY.
The Branch of the Virginia Bank at Portsmouth
rohbedoj '$97,000!
Yesterday morning at an early hour, a telegraph
ic dispatch was received by the mother Bank
here, stating that the banking house of the
Branch Bank of Virginia, in Portsmouth, had been
eniered .Sunday night,. and entirely "riddled" of
all its contents in money. This message created
great anxiety to learn the particulars.
At a late hoar in tbe day a second dispatch came
to hand, which stared that the robber or robbers
had taken $59,915 in bank notes, and $27,000
in gold, from the vaults of the Rank. It was
presumed that the robbery was' committesl Sun
day night. No clue to the robbers had been found
up to the tim of this last dispatch.
We understand there are only eleven one hun
drei dollar notes of the branch in circulation.
Among those stolen were 189 notes of ihis de
nomination. This is a very heavy b!ow to the (tank of Vir
ginia. That institution has teen enough misfor
tune in all conscience. It has not only been ex
tremely unfortunate in the infidelity of men who
held important stations of trust in it, but the Stale
has helped to oppress it by compelling it to sub
scribe to James River and Kanawha Canal a half
a million of dollars. an act which was uext akin
to direct robbery of the institution.
We would warn the stockholders, however,
not to be too much alarmed by this last heavy
blow upon thier Bink. If all the money abstrac
ted should be entirely lost, and no part of it ever
recovered, the stock, we are informed, cannot suf
fer more than $2 per share. The reduced par
value of the stock is $70, and it now sells for $75.
It is to be hoped the robbers Will be caught. It
will be hard mailer for them to sucoefsfally get
clear with so large a sum te dispose of.

BIOGRAPHY OF LOLA MONTES.
This danstuse publishes in the New York
Herald a long and well written communication,
purporting to be a history of her eventful life.
Her connection with the King of Bavaria she
makes out to be one of pure personal frtndsbip,
nothing more. On her arrival iu Munich, she
received an invitation from the King requesting
an audience, which she alter some hesitation ac
cepted, and on calling upon him, entered, into a
long conversation upon various subjects her
knowledge of French politics greatly surprised
his Majesty, ana he immediately took her into
his keeping not as his mistress but as his Prime
Minister, lor she says etnphatichal y that during
her sojourn in the Palaee he was governed entire
ly by her advice. Her reign, however was des
tined to be short. She says that the Jesuits be
coming alarmed at her influence over the King
adopted the most disreputable means to get rid of
her, even seeking her lile by poison.
Although they did not succeed in taking her
file, tbey succeeded in their slanders against her,
causing her to nee the country, she speaks ol
f teXtug in th kindest tersns, d say sow teres
nun, as sne would love a ulnar, n is not a love
that any woman should be ashamed of. He
was her friend; and whilst she lives she will be
his friend. She despises the miserable, wretches
who have slandered the good old king and herself.
For the injuries lhat they have done her, ahe tor
gives them; but for those to the king, she invokes
upon them G d's justice, but not his mercy; it wil
overtake them in this world, and ia the world to
come.
Alt gether, she is a remarkable women, and
the communication over her signature a remark a
ble document.
Fatiier Mathers Return to Ireland.
Father Mathew, on mf return to Ireland trom tbe
United States, was received by his count rymen
with every demonstration of reg.ud and esteem.
The Common Council of Cork presented him
with an address of congratulation, to which he
responded in a speech of much feeling and elo
quence,, in the course of which he thus referred
to the people of the United Stales, and tue man
cer in which he was received by them.
"No language, geallemen. which you could
frame, can sufficiently express the measure of our
common obligatioti to the noble-hearted and gen
erous citizens of America, (hear, hear ) You
have had ocular demonstration of their beautiful
sympathy, when, in ihe day of tribulation, you
witnessed in yoqr magnificent harbor, the Star
Spangled Banner proudly floating over the frigate
"Janiesiawo," the distribution of whose precious
freight (a great nation's spontaneous offering on
Ihe altars ol Humanity ) saveu inuumeraoie lives
within the precincts of our famine-stricken coun
trv. I have traveled thousands of miles in the
great Wester a Republic, and never have I expe
rienced, not only in the Capi ol, but through the
wide extent of America, aught but respect and
kindness from its high-minded citizens, (hear,
hear.) My transatlantic lour is fraught with a
thousand fond reminiscences, never to be forgot
ton, (hear, hear,) and I fervently hopetha'l the
strong feelings of sympathy and friendship, which
now exist between the people of Ireland and
America may continue as permanent and durable
as the many virtues they possess in common, (loud
and long continued applause.; Your allusion to
my dear expatriated countrymen, whom I had the
happiness to meet in the great Republic, and the
rr eater happiness of enrolling among my disciples,
has touched a chord which vibrates through my
whole frame. Though painfuliy struck with ths
sad contrast which our dearly beloved country
presents in many particulars, with the favored
land which 1 have recently left, I yet see no rea.
son for apathy or despair. Ireland this is not
the place to investigate- the cause is n w pas
sin" through a severe transitory ordeal, from
which I trust she will ere long brightly emerge,
and enteron that glorious career of national pros
perity to which her ample resources, now in pro
gress of development, most na'uratly entitle her,
(hear, hear.) I feel de light in already recogniz
1112 marked indications of a spirit of industrial
activity and enterprise, which, combined with
self-reliance and perseverance, cannot fail to ef-

history of mankind," (renewed applause.)
