THE PROTEST OF THE HOLY ALLI
ANCE AGAINST THE RESTAB
LISHMENT OF THE EMPIRE IN
FRANCE.
Napoleon naid of the Bourbons, that not
withstanding all the sufferings tbev had en
dured during their exile, they had learned notb
j-.r nr.J ft." • v.ct. nuthiiifc. They went awey
the moe: ignorant, stupid, bigoted, of the whole
human race, and they came back precisely as
tbey had gone. The same thing, we believe,
bad been said of the Stuarts, and with quite
as much reason. Indeed, we doubt if there is
a royal race in the world to whem the remark
may r.otjusily be applied, were they placed
under circumstances calculated to draw it
forth. Kings have not the opportunity of
judging of the progress of the world and of the
world's ideas, as other men have. To them
the idea of three centuries ago, is the idea of
to-day, and w ill be the idea cf to-morrow.
Expel the in from the throne, for offences of the
most flagrant nature, and they are never cor
rected by Hie infliction. Reinstal them, and
thev commit the same offence with the most
unerring certainty. That is not all, however.
Their brother Kings, tho 1 spectators merely,
cannot see the follies they commit—cannot see
that their whole movements are against the
age.
The French revolution caused the death of
a! least six millions of human beings. It was
produced by the follies of a race of Kings
which had been accumulating for centuries,
and which finally led one of them to the block.
It caused a general massacre or expulsion of
the nobles and priests and it ended in the erec
tion of a military empire. The head of that
empire, after such a profusion of bloodshed
as the world had never seen—was at lust over
thrown. The old race of Kings is brought
back to be expelled a second time. France
has thus shown that she will not have them—
that .she will endure everything rather than
submit to them. Yet the three principal pow
ers of Europe—they who profanely call them
selves the Holy Alliance—are determined that
they shall return—that they shall govern
France—that if it can be done in no other
manner, it shall be done at the point of the
bayonet! The wickedness—the atrocity—the
appalling criminality of this determination, let
them be veiled under what cunning terms of
diplomacy they may, are apparent enough.—
They meun that legitimacy, that for which so
much blood has been shed, is to be the cause
of shedding still mole. They mean that France
shall not govern herself—that the people have
no rights—that their liberties are to be extin
guished at all hazirds. All this might have
been expected from the Holy Alliance, be*
cause it is perfectly consistent with their
known principles, and it is not for this that we
denounce this convention as so supremely
wicked.
It is because the authors of it know that they
are deliberately preparing a war which may
lust for half a century, anil involve the who's
world. They cannot believe that France will
submit to have the Bourbons forced upon her
a second time ut ths point of the bayonet, save
after a terrible struggle. They are therefore
deliberately preparing, for the sake of a family,
detested by a large majority of the French
people, to force that family upon them, though
it cost ten millions of lives, audit can scarce
ly cost less.
We are, we hope, true republicans. We are
something even more than that. \\ • are in
favor of allowing every people to choose their
own form of government. We detest compul
sion. We would not force people to do any
thing—even to become freemen—if they did
not wish it. We hoped, when the Revolution
of 1848 broke out, the French would be re
publicans. We hoped that they bad learned
wisdom by sixty years of experience and suf
fering. But they have not thought proper to
fall iuto our views, and they were at perfect
liberty to do so or not, as they might think
proper. They have preferred to take Louis
Napoleon, for belter,for worse, as a man takes
his wife. As republicans we assert that no
man has a right to gainsay their choice. If
they choose, in their own country, and without
interfering with any one else, to eiect the em
pire a second time, and to pJt him on it, we
say let them do it. As for the Holy Alliance,
we think Nicholas would do much betier with
out Francis Joseph than with him. He will
prove a heavy drug on Lim, or »e are very
much deceived. It is only by his assistance
that Hungury and Italy ate kept down.
ANOTHER STEAMBOAT RACE ON
THE HUDSON'.
We pnoiild have thought that the disaster of
the Henry Clay would have kepi rtcing at a
discount on the North River for son # time to
come. But it seems to be as lively as ever.
A correspondent of the New Vork Herald de
scribes one of a very exciting and dangerous
character which touk place on Friday last be
tween two boats called the Alida and the
Francis Skiddy. Neither of them blew up.
THE DEFEAT OF THE AMERICA.
The English papers speak with considera»
ble exultation of the defeat of this yacht, for
no other reason that we can see, than the fact
of her having been built in the United States.
She wu not, at the time, owned by Americans'
and what is still more important, she was not
manned by Americans. Had her crew been
American, there might have been some cause
for exultation; hut as lone as she was in Yan
kee handa, she slipped away from every thing
that could be brought against her with the
moat perfect eaae. ia any thing more wanted
to prove aatiafactorily that the Yankee sailo. ia
the beat in the world?

CAMELS FOE NEW MEXICO.
In the debate upon the Army Appropriation
Bill, in the House of Representatnrn on Fri
day laat, Mr. Biaael, of Ohio, offered an amend
ment appropriating $20,000 for the purpose of
introducing the camel into the aerrice, to be
employed in the vast deaertaofour posaeaaiona
acquired from Mexico. Mr. Biaael told the
House that thia aubject had occupied the at.
tention of the Secretary of War for several
years— that he had resorted to all the means
in the power of the government to obtain the
best and fullest information—and that the re
sult had been a firm conviction that camels
were the best means of communication across
those immense deserts. The amendment was
opposed, but finally prevailed.
We are glad to hear that this appropriation
has been put into the general bill, and we hope
it will succeed. The experiment is one that
deserves to be made. How else, for the pre
sent tit least, ore *•* to those immense
barriers, the most formidable, »e believe, ot
their kind, in the world, with the exception of
the Great Sahara? Innumerable lives are lost
there every year, on account of the difficulty
of getting water, the animals dying first, and
as a matter of course, the men afterwards. This
may be obviated by the employment of theca
mel. That animal travels, with ease, sixty
miles a dav. and is in no danger of dying of
thirst. The traveller, therefore, will never
lose his mode of transportation, whatever
else he may be compelled to suffer. He may
always have along with him ail that is neces
sary for subsistence, because the camel can
carry more than almost Bny other beast of bur
den. Besides, we might learn from the expe
rience of others that the camel is the only, or
at least, the best animal to be employed in
desert wars. Napoleon, when in Egypt, had a
regiment of dromedaries to fight the Arabs in
their deserts, and we believe the English em
ploy them in the same way in India.
We had much conversation with Mr. Glid
don upon this subject, and we became convinc
ed that this was the only way of carrying on
a successful war against the savages who in -
fest the cultivated portions of that distant
country, murder the inhabitants, and take to the
desert, as to a place perfectly inaccessible. —
We suspect the Secretary has had some com
munication with him, for the suggestion was
originally his. We hope to see the camel na
turalised in that part of our territories, as there
is no doubt that he may be, with ease.
THE LYNCHBURG VIRGINIAN.
We should have mentioned that this ancient
and well edited sheet has been converted into
a daily, no change being made in the editorial
and proprietary departments. Over the for
mer, Mr. McDonald still continues to presido
with his accustomed ability, while the names
of Shields &, Terry are retained as heads o! the
latter.
Lynchburg has now two excellent dailies,
the one on the old system of subscription, the
other on the penny plan. We do not know,
however, that they are at all antagonistic, for
the one is political, and the other neutral, so
that the fields tiiey occupy are essentially dif
ferent. As the town is growing, and the peo
ple are enterprising, we have no doubt there
will be aplenty for both, and we hope both
may enjoy a plenty. The Republican, also an
excellent paper, and taking the opposite politi
cal side to the Virginian, hangs back yet
awhile from the daily arrangement. We think
it will be obliged to come over, however, in the
end. The magnetic telegraph, indeed, wiJJ be
get dailies wherever it goes, even in places
where, but a short time since, they would not
have been dreamed of. It is proper, in the mean
time, to observe, that we know no town of the
same size with Lynchburg so well supplied
with newspapers, both as to number and quali
ly.
A view of the pretty sheet on which the Vir
ginian is piinted. recalls to our recollection the
v ast change which has been made in journal
ism, even in Virginia, where new ideas are not
apt to take hold with great facility. We re
member the Virginian longer than we do any
other newspaper in existence. It was original
ly called the Lynchburg Press, and was owned
when we first knew it, by William Duffie.—
About the beginning of the year 1820, the late
John H. Pleasantß bought into it, and n<imed it
the " Virginian." From that time we remem
ber it well, and we perfectly remember th; first
sheet of it we ever saw. It was a little, d»rk
colored, old locking sheet, the type having b«en
in lit rd use probably for twenty years. IV e
congratulate the proprietors upon its change
for H>e better in this particular, and wist tiiem
all the success they can desire.

CorretjMOdence of the Bait. Boa.
Alexandria, Va., Aug. 15.
The bark Veaa*iu», of Baltimore. Captain
Woodburn,arrived here on Thursday from Cal
lao. Her crew, shipped at that port, were
represented to be "able aeamen" and "ordina
ry seamen." On going to eea, the officers soon
discovered that but two of the former were able
to perform duly : wbil«t the "ordinary men
did nol know one rope from another— nor are
thev much wiser now, as the captain states.
On the 26th June, at n.idnieht, about lati
tude 37 South, longitude 36 West, the vessel
experienced a heavy blow. It became necea
sary to double reef the maintopsa 1. In reef
in?, the vard is laid to the wind, so that the
sail' may slake instead of being full, in order to
knot the points with ea»e. Mr. Henry Cross,
chief mate, whose proper station was on deck,
at the brace?, perceiving the inefficiency of the
msn, went aloft to assist them. Capt. Wood
huin took the wheel, and sent the helmsman
aloft also. In the operation of reefing, the sail
gave a tremendous shake and threw off into
the sea one of the hands, named Edwd. Town,
said to be originally from Cincinnati, Ohio,
and he was drowned.
The melancholy circumstance was attribu
ted to accident. The vessel pursued her
course homeward without the slightest allega
tion or suspicion against any one. On Friday
evening two of the crew went before Justice
William H. Fowler, and charged the chief
mate with having knocked the man Town
overboard on the occasion referred to, and
after investigation, Mr. Cross was committed
tojail.
This action on the oart of the two men
equally astonished the captain, second male,
the other men, who at the time were on the
vard, as well as others who had for more than
two months been messmates with the de
ceased.
Except the two tnen alluded to, all on board
certify to the ability and uniform
the chief mate, and the second mute testifies
that in reefing the prisoner was himself in im
inent peril of his own safety.
Mr. Cross, tfie chief mate, was formerly of
Cincinnati, but has a family now residing in
New York, where he claims citizenship.
The captain and second mate are held by
their own recocnizance to appear at the .Supe
rior Court, in Richmond, Va., where the trial
will take place.
From Tampico.—By an arrival at New Or»
leans, the Picayune has dates from Tampico
to the 21st ult.
The only news we find is the arrival of a
Go/eminent express on the 20th, with permis
sion for the introduction into the port of Tam
pico of 1500 bbls. of flour and sufficient lard to
satisfy the exigencies of the moment. The editor
of the Comerico says that the Government has
thus given a proof that it is animated with the
best intentions in favor of towns which like
Tampico, are in a decaying state.
French Cure for Hydrophobia.—The
Paris Board of Health, in view of the preva
lence of hydrophobia among the dogs of thu*
city, has published the following notice :
1. Every person bit by an animal who is
mnd, or suspected of being mad, should itn:iie»
diatelv press the wound on all sides, to force
out the blood and the virus.
2. The wound should then be immediately
washed with volatile alkali, soap suds, with
lime water, with salt water, or pure water, or if
none of these are at hand, with urine.
3. An iron, at white heat, should nest le
pressed deeply into the wound.
These directions, if rigidly followed, will be
found sufficient to ensure against the possibili
ty of the appearunce of this frightful conta
gious disease.
Led into error, as we too often are, by the
Telegraphic reports of distant elections, we, in
common with our neighbors, announced in our
ast number the election of two Whig Represen
tatives to Congress and of a Whig Legislature
in the State of lowu. Such a success in that
State could not have been expected, and was
hardly credible. We could not, however, doubt
apositive averment received through several
channels, and we give the news as it cauie to us.
Subsequent accounts, through the same chan
nel, now represent that the Democrats have
elected one of the Representatives in Congress,
(Mr Henn,) and also a majority of the members
of the State Legislature.— National Inlel/i

Melancholy Occurrence.—'The body ot
Mr Balaam Burch,Carpenter, was found yes
terday afternoon under the arch nt 3d and D
streets. He went from home on Wednesday
evening last to a part of the city called English
Hill, on an eirnnd of kindness to soine|newly ar
rived immigrants, w hotn he left abou l 9 o'clock,
and nothing more could be heard of him until
yesterday afternoon, when his body was found,
as above mentioned. His watch and other va
luables were still on his person, discouraging
the idea of violence; and it is supposed that
in the dark he missed iiis path and fell into the
large open conduit, swollen by the heavy
ram of that evening, and was swept under the
arch across 3d street and drowned. Mr. B.
was a very worthy and much esteemed citizen,
and has left many relatives and friends to de
plore his loss.—Nat. Int. of yesterday.
Two barrels of liquor were seized and de
stroyed, according to law, in Cabotville, Mass.,
a lew days since. Ihe liquor was poured into
the street in presence of a large crowd, and

LOCAL MATTERS.
Fn»<—About half part eight o'clock last night,
the alarm of Are waa given, and it wu aoon found
to proceed from theestablishment ranted by J-A.
Glaxebrook, and occupied by IMac J. Mercer a* a
sash, door and blind manufactory, and J A. Glaze
brook aa a steam planing mill, on the south aide of
the Dock, nearly oppoaite the Dock office. Tba
locality is well known to our citizen* by the planing
.machine which was • part of the establishment.
The whole building burned down with inconceiv
able rapidity. An. immense quantity of lumber be
irg" within and areund it, took fire and was a!s o
consumed. The conflagration was a most bril
liant, but at tbe same time, a molt rapid one. The
loss was great, and we learn was covered by no in
surance of any consequence. We understand there
was on the premises a very good steam engine
used to drive tbe works.
We understand Mr. Mercer's loss is between
$1200 and $1500, upon which there was no insu
rance. The entire loss is believed to be very great,
but no correct e«tiraate cou'd be made of it last
night.
Fbotractkd Meetings —This is the period of
the year selected by Methodist congregations, loca
ted in the different circuits of Virginia, for holding
protracted meetings. These meetings usually com.
menceon Sunday—and are held in neat and retired
country edifices, where peace, quietness and sim
plicity, are the chief characteristics. More pleat ant
seasons of enjoyment cannot be imagined. When
a meeting is appointed to commence at a particular
place, at an early hour of the day sele:ted, the peo
ple fur miles around gather to the consecrated edi
fice- They bring with them large hampers of
choicely prepared refreshments wherewith to sup
ply the cravings of hunger between the morning
and evening servicf. The discission of these
home-made, old fashioned and delicious country
dinners, affords full opportunity for a free inter
change of neighborly enquiries and social courte
sies. These meetings continue three or four days
The difference between them and camp meetings,
consists in the fact that the visitors go home every
evening and do not camp out in tents. The objects
of both are alike, viz: the conversion of souls.—
Sunday last we paid a visit to a meeting that had
just commenced under the auspices of the Hev. Mr.
McMullen, at North Cut Church, situated about 9
miles from Richmond, in Henrico county. Tne
church is a plain and substantial one, and delight
fully located amongst grovel of trees. We found
but few on the ground at 10 o'clock, but by 11 the
pe >p'e commenced pouring in troin every direc
tion. The road, for a brief season, was literally
covered with vehicles. Here would come a stately»
old-fashioned formed coach, containing a dignified
gentleman of the old school and his graceful farni.
ly. Then the more democratic wagon filled with
high backed chairs tnat were lade l with trim and
smiling Methodist girls, would drive up. What a
scrambling the arrival of these democretic coaches
occasioned among the boys! The race of gallantry
was short but vigorous. A rustling of dresses and
subdued laughter is heard, ani a marry bound pla
ces the comely persons of the damsels oa mother
earth. Then comes a vigorous crookiyg ofelbows,
and a clou J of waving umbrellas shades the pass age
of beauty and manliness to the church. Arri
ved there, the triumphant gallants leave their ladies
arid take scats on the opposite side of the road as
"outsiders," until the minister arrives. A cloud ot
dust announces the arrival of several buggy loads
ofthe"boys"lrom Richmond who gladly exchange
the heat and bustle of the city for the calm and
refreshing rural loveliness of the country. But
now the minister is seen entering the church, and
a general movement takes place for seats insiie by
tne "outsiders." The church it speedily filled, and
those excluded from seats coctent themselves with
standing by the windows, where they can whisper
"salt talk" with some mischievous and tenderhear t
ed Miss* But now the assembly rite, and their
united voice wafts to the upper sphere a holy song
of praise. Soon the solemn silence proclaims the
period of pi ay er, and in revereatial tones the meed
ot intercession with a Divine B»ing is offered. We
have not time to enlarge upon the eloquent and
touching 6ermou which followed from one ot the
"old style" preachers. It was replete with practi
cal advice, beautiful imagery, and touching allu
sions. We think, however, if Mr. McD. had cut
oil from both ends, and given only the middle of
tae discourse, there wouid have been a decidtd
i nprovement upon its effect Short and pointed
remarks of advice are easily understood and more
generally iollowed. In these days we have too
much sermonising and too little practice. We have
a decided aversion to a 90 minute sermon of a hot
August day. The scene that followed the breaking
up of the morning service was a joyous one.
Groups were ipeeuiiy formed arttund tables; and
as many hands make light work in a trice, chick
ens, ducks, hams, beef pies, cakea, and fruit of all
varieties, were spread out, and the eating set in
Tnere certainly was no stint of the larder; and the
proverbial hospitality of Virginians was fully exhi
bited in the ardur with which tne proprietors of the
respective tables pressed upon/riends and visitors
their home-brewed luxuries Judging from the
profusion, there certainly must have been "twelve
baskets full" of the iragments gathered up alter all
had partaken. A few moment's rest was then pro
fitably spent by the old folks ia talking about
"crops," "times," "politics,' -religion," and the ge
ner.-tl health; and by the young ones in chatting
and walking and eociaoly talking. There is cer
tainly a simple confidence of manner iu U ur coun
try ladies that is absolutely bewitching. Like na
ture they are guileless and tree trom the restraint*
and fashions of the city. We trust our lady read
ers will pardon us in saying that if they would graft
some of the simple unstudied graces of our bumble
country maidtns upon their own tree hearted na
tures, th-y would make perfection perlect. Buj
we have been led to extend this notice to an un
due length, and must conclude by spying that we
left the afternoon meeting at the church still in
progress, and returned to our city invigorated, and
we trust instructed by our trip,
A meeting will commence at Shady Grove on
tbe Mechanicsville road, 7 miles from Richmond,
next Suaday; and on the Sunday following at Brook
Caurch.
Assault.—On Saturday last, an altercation took
place in Watson A Hughea' office on Governor
street, between Sstnuel Laird and John A. Temple,
respecting some business aff-drs, which resulted in
Laird's striking T -inple a severe blow.

Some "reflectiona auggeated by the death and

To Dr. J. S. Rose, Philadelphia—Dear Sir: for
the sake of humanity, I write these few lines toin
torm you and the public generally, of the great
cure your Dyspeptic Compound has made on me.
In the summer ot 1650, I was aitacked with a vio

scribed by two or three eminent physicians tor 18
months, without any etfect, and betag reduced al
most to a skeleton, and scarcely able to walk across
my room, I accidentally received one of your cir
culars, in which I found my disease exactly de
scribed. My son went to Petersburg and purchas
ed a bottle ot tne DYSPEPTIC COMPOUND, with
a box of your FAMILY on ALTERATI VE PILLS,
and to my great astonishment and satisfaction, I
tound gr.eat relief in a lew days; and in two we«kt>
I was entirely well. At this time I am iu better
health than 1 have been in ten o r twelve ycar». In
short, sir, your medicine saved my life.
