'. i -tH- . jsy U will be seen that the dispatch receded here vestcsjJar afternoon, to the effect that the 7 . r Peace Congress propositions had passed the Housed of representatives by more than two 'thirds, Ui-great mistake. It wa3 Corwin's proposition $ tp amend the Constitution so as : not to interfere tcith slavery in Ihe States, that passed by a tw thirds rote. Bnt if the Peace ' Congress solutins did pass a Black Republi can Jlouie; of Representatives, jt would be per fectly natural and not at all surprising. Tropo- ' sitions that did not satisfy either North Caro lina or Virginia,- could not be very distasteful to the ronserVatiTe" Republicans in that body. ' Thw Richmond Whig concludes a long and able editorial" under the caption "The Issue Stated" in, Jhe following truthful language : If civil Vrr U to come if that sin of sins is to be .cqmmitted upon the North must be the responsibility. 'It will be a sin for which the curse of history and of posterity will rest upon "her. Foe fHice she will have lost her character istic acumeal . She may pull down the pillars of the temple,' -but she may also perisE". It is said that God, fcrst sends madness on him whom he would destroy, and it looks if this Divine spell were ffow'res'ting upon the States of the North. Upon the altar of folly she is now sacrificing herself and 4 he 'American Union. To an erro neous abstraction she is sacrificing her country and the br.Jhtest political hope of mankind. Instead ov giving freedom to the slave, she may enslave he-lf. 'Under her auspices the slave may recede from the mechanical civilization which hq As attained in the - slave States, and may become the wild animal that he was in Af rica ; birt, ander the melancholy illustration she is now giv.tig to. the world of the incapacity of the enlightr.'mi whiU - man for self-government, it is impossjbto believe that she will ever initiate the negro ittp the mysteries of freedom. The issuf between the North and the South . kas been mde up "too rapidly. It has been made up without the antecedent .pleadings and impar lances, whitjli-are as necessary iand proper in politics as i law and equity. And this is to be regretted. -Tiut still the issue is made up. That is a matter Jbf fact. And the question now, for all Southern men is, on which side of the issue shall we .stand? -Here there isiio difficulty. However, tlje issue arose, the. South is right up on that issue ; and her sons calling upon God will, witfi clear consciences and strong arms, defend hexnolated rights. j ' : CnxsoKs i pr Popclatiok. The increase of over eight loiilions in our population during the last ten ye,ps -contrasts wonderfully with the figures of seme of the recent European censuses. Great Briain, it is true, shows a very fair rate uf increase; 'considering the extent of ber emi jrration. Bat France, which sends out but very tew emigrants; has increased only about a quar ter cf a million within a period of five years. But it is a still more remarkable fact that there has been,-1 luring the last three years, a'dim inution of ilehumto race in the Austrian Em-l-ire to the; extent of two million five hundred thousand.' jfhe population returns for 1860 show according the ienna Gazette, that the pop ulation's.?! w reduced to thirty six millions, " whereas intl857-it amounted to thirty eight and a half mill'ibns This is striking proof pf the i.'terioratinjj tendencies of a despotic govern Dvent. Grcund down by heavy taxes, shut out .from tJie invigorating exercise 6f their faculties in the wavbat seems best to tbenvr the people languish aul decay." Freedom is life giving ; lpotisitt. worse than an epidemic. ff ' ' Botton Journal. . PATMKyf.oir"THx BamsH Debt.

The experimental firing from the 80 pounder Wiutworth gun at Portsmouth; has been-brought to an abrup ter mination by the discovery of a flaw or; rent in the metal at the breech. The gun, which weighs four tons, has been landed from the Stork gun boat, packed, and cpnveyed to the railway sta tion to be forwarded to Woolwich. Many naval officers experienced in gunnery are of opinion that the principallof the gun in working metal upon metal is radically wrong. They argue that if any foreign substance is introduced into the bore of the gun, such as a cinder from the fun nel, and should git between the inner surface ot the gun and the projectile, the latter would in fallibly jam? and he gun would burst. I j 3 Jjonaon l imes. :i . j - i An English Id:a of the Angelical! State. h-A gentlernan walking through Knightsbridge, in England,' one Sunday lately, overheard the following conversation between a man and a woman, who appeared as if just come from some pleasure trip into the country: j "Blow me, Bill, how tied I do feel. 1 I'm as 'misera ble, too, as. a startved herring. What a misera ble world is this ! j I wish I' d never, been born, that I do j and nefw that I am born, I wish my self dead again.' Man "What, Bet,! what's the" matter withj yon now?

You was drunk Monday, and u was drunk agiain Wednesday, and I'm bles sjed if you havn't piad pretty near enough to day. If that airt enough pleasure for yer I don't know what is. I suppose you wants to ljc a downright hangel here upon earth.' ' The Indian Bonjs Robbery .It is stated that General Gushing,' late Attorney General, . has given an opinion on the question of the legality of the acceptances! issued by Governor Floyd, it having been; submitted to him by Mr. Gilmore, of Pennsylvania, file holds, on. a full discussion of the subject, that the liability of the United States for tfaese acceptances is fixed by authori tative decisions of the Supreme Court in previous cases of the same nature, confirmed by the acts bf Congress This opinion is given in behalf of Pierce & Bacon,-of Boston, who are innocent holders of Russel, Majors & Waddel's drafts accepted byjFloydi it is asserted that there are only six hundred thousand dollars of these ac ceptances outstanding. I j How the Sea Fk)RTS at Cherbourg jIre Pre served. Mussel shellfish fasten themselves to piers! with a material resembling- coarse silk, which resists the i force of the most powerful waves. The Frefiich engineers at Cherbourg have availed themselves lof this faculti- of the mussel to bind ' their great breakwaters j These consist of loose masses of stone; and. on them are ; planted : -several tons of this shellfish, that they may ! bind all firmly together with their strong cordage. In this, it is said, they have succeeded, it reminds U3 ot the long-rooted and spreading grass, with which, in Holland, Bbifting sands are fixed ; the same thing is done in some'places on the east coast of Scotland.

The Presr i dential election in 3Iexico, which should have aken place on Sunday, the 3d instant, has been put off till the first Sunday in March.
