However in genious, experienced aud well -meaning a statesman may be today, without a broad «oaceetion with the cititcns and without the consciousness that he is but the col* leotive expression of their wayyp and de sires, he can achieve but Julie in modern time#. The policy of J.|iu mere balaucing of forces does no lwK er " ll ®j w-nt of initiative and ()l development. destruction of character and of material means, is fhi} eoosequuuce. Austria, therofore, ;nust niako her election ; it may not be 1 cany, but put off it can v.iw only be for a few pecks. History and the nature of things point us to tho fact that Vienua and l'esth are tfco constitutional centers of tho Empire; in other things we must advance to a similar g, r oupitfg and ar rangement of nationalities as exist in Hwitserland. But of this hereafter. For tho present thore :« yet in Hungary an untouched stream of power »nd njanli jiess; this to fijsp fropi tin ban should bo cur next task. And in other provinces the people aro much more courageous than is believed ; but it must not be look ed upon with the eyes of t()ose Bohemian authorities, who \yere fjrai in flight and behind in everything eise. Vienna a ' Bo has higher and uoblcr desires than to be •aved from the danger of an invasion.— Considering tho enormous Pru sian los ses, the flanking position of the army at JJlmuti!, tho vast distance from there to ♦he Danube, the prospective liberation of .our Southern army, and the threatening attitude of Napoleon, our military condi tion appears anything else but hopeless Our political «ud financial dungera por tend greater dangers. An arniistiue of six weeks septus either toq long or too sljorf. That Austria, exclusive of Ven etia, should suffor a loss of territory, we do not believe; but in the future conse quence lies the danger. Shall these not consume us, not a ui"mcnt ought to be passed to free the powers of tho people, \o porrect the preseut evils through a free expression of public sentiipent pi)d opin ion, and by the culture of knowledge of ynind and of labor, to constitute the basis for a sound organ zation of the State. The Prussian Needle Gnn, JJeJ'ore the commencement of the war agitating Europe, it was thrown out that Prussia had in her possession a secret, in a new kind of fire arms, which would make her invincible. It was stated that the inventor was guarded night and day to prevent his revealing the secret. It will strike a fatal shot at five hundred paces distance, and we|| (fained su|d|prs ean fire it four 01 fire times a minute, so that during a charge of the enemy's cav alry, the Prussian soldiers—making ev ery allowance for the excitement of the combat—can fire at least three times be fore receiving the horsemen with the bay onct. As to preoision, tbe Prussians, with this formidable weapon, are said to Jiit their target ninety time? out of every hundred. The following description is given by the correspondent of the New York Timet: 'I This arm, already adopted ip the Prussian army, is a carbine o« aeedle gun, that is to say, a central Oritur gun, being loaded from the breach, on a sys tem similar to that of the guns which •re beginning tube used by our gr cat atp- jateurs of tbe chase. The cartridge ia placed in the chamber with the rapidity witich is required to discharge the gun of and nil other pieces in vrhicfe the barrel is discharged by a sim ple movement. This barrel receives its «toarge and is restored to its placo iu a few Because. The firing, in place of be ing determined by tho employment of a cap, as in our fire arms, is produced by ihe cowtact of a needle with the cap. grljicb cay u placed in the centre of the cartridge, and the movement of this nee die it produced by the play of a battery which works upon a strong spiral spring placed the lock of the gun. This spring runs through the powder and pushes against ac explosive lozenge, cap or priming placed betweeu the charge and the ball. The firing then is central, in ferior and instantaneous. Thf powder xaking its full force of expansion at a time, the charge may be less considera ble ; the piece beiug rifled, the precision is much greater. This portable fire arm beiug light does not fatigue the soldier, nnd being loaded by the breach, and tbe priming lining attached to the cartridge, the discharge may succeed each other in as rapid successiqp as those fired from e revolver. Such is the weap on which has excited so niuoh ridicule in so many military circles iu Europe, and «112 which Prussia is making such tprrible use today to her own aggrandisement." —About seventy-five convicts were dis charged from the State Penitentiary at Richmond, Y» : , oq Friday last, under the recent orders of the U'i»r JJjjpartment directing the release of ■ps.mers ppu l|ated.}>y military tribunals. The Mask Thrown Off. When the President resolved to Uciray the Republican party mid Jiand over, it' possible, tlje gowowment to the control of the rebels uad copperheads. he thought it prudeat, as far as practicable, to con ceal liifl real design. He repelled as an insult the insinuation that he meditated treachery; protested he honestly meant to eschew the path of Tyler and Fillmore, and auowed that whatever differences ex isted between himself and the tufa who aideo his election, he would figbt out l soside the Republican lines. There ygyi »6 sincerity in these protestations, fty- was essential to his Policy. \Yhat e hoped was by making these cwwpnra tively pacific and honorable decimations to alienate many Republicans from their associations, and to attach tbeiu to his fortunes ; in tho end to lead them in to the camp of Democracy. From the this was apparent to some, but not to • Now, subterfuges and disguises pre discarded ; the amalgamation of the Republican followers of the President with the Democrats is openly urged, and measures for its accomplishment actually t ken. Jii#t here the difficulties of the P«sj- Aeut reajly begin. Doubtless the Demo crats are rejdy to accept the offices, or any proportion of them, from t]»e Presi dent. So far as his schemes for the fu ture icotcur with their own, they are wil ling to endorse his ideas. But they aro not eager to accept of him and his scores or two of followeis, as their party leaders What they did by Tyler and FiHmore, they are not inclined to do by hij# and hi«; but beyond the measures of Demo cratic precedent as in the cases of those emiftflat apostates. Not is thjs «U Somo Republicans who werf bewildered by the President's sgj)|ilstries into the acceptanoe and ad vocacy of his Policy, have drawn back upon finding into what company ho woijld introduco theui. Loyal themselijes, ifl all their principles aud sentiments, per haps by temperament or conviction mov ed to deal leniently with enemies over thrown, they had no thought of surren dering the government into tho hands of the men who madly sought its life. Fin ing such the eutcrtuinnieut to which they were invited, they arc making haate to vindicate their fame ip returning to the old affiliation. What consolation the President will find in the Philadelphia Convention the event must discloso. We do not look with trepidation or despair on its convo cation We like Free Spe.ch. Using it ouiselves, we are willing every body else should avail themselves of it. Let the rebels and their sympathizers, together with the Conservatives, meet and say what they want. They may help to a better understanding of the situation ; but we have not much faith they will, as we judge the Convention is quite like ly to be rent by dissentions; or if they agjec at all, to agree in making such de mands as the President will hardly dare affront tho mas«»s ol loysl people bp en mining, much less by attempting to ful f}ll.-rr/Y</«. Gazette. fpnuessee, When tho )iMt Constitutional Amend ment passed, the understanding, in Con gress and out, was that op its ratification by any one of t)je seceding States the delegations from such States should be admit'.cd to seats in the Senate and House of Representatives. On l9th l9th inst., Gov. Browulow telegraphed to Washing ton that the Tennesaeo Legislation had ratified the Amendment, 43 to 11 —two refusing to vote, thus uiak'tS 56 WBHi bers, a fulj quorum, jiresent when the vote was taken. As soon as his telegram was reoeivod, a motion was made in the House to ad mit the TeuncHsee members to seats.— This was resisted by Mr. Stevens from n desire to ascertain whether or not the Amendment had been sanctioned iu a way to be legally bipding- He finally succeeded ip getting tbo question put over to the ue*t day, when the joint res olution passed, twelve members dissent ing. among them Mr. Thomas Williams, but not Mr. Stevens. The two members of tbe Tennessee Legislature who record their votes were recusants brought into the hull by 'he Sergeant-at-Aruis. This Is cue of the duties of that t fficpr in all deliberative bodies. At Washington, quorums of one or both Houses are frequently obtained through his instrumentality, and no one has ever questioned the legality of pro ceedings had under such coerced attend ance. The members are bound in htw to be present, and when they fail voluntar ily to be iu-their places, it is reasonable »ud right they should be constrained.— A member wlio so wishes can resign, but he is nover at liberty to defeat legislation by absenting himself without leave flrst asked and obtained. Upon the adoption of the joiptresolu tion by the Scpatc the members elected for Tennessee will he ut liberty to present their credentials. It docs not follow that whoever presents credentials, duly attcs ted. will be admitted. Each House still rctaius the r.ght, and is in duty bound, to iuquirc into the loyalty of the holders of credentials The Test Oath is still in force. A claimant who cannot take that Oath mint surely stand aside. But be yond this, each House has a right- to its own standard of loyalty, and may exclude any one who does not come up to it. On this head the right of each House is full pud osclpstve Even the President has aftrmed this right in very strong tpripp, and on various occasioas. There is po probability tbat the Senate or House will enforce a factious or unreasonable stand ard of loyalty ; but it ought to be under stood from the beginning that leaders in the Rebellion "must take back seats;" that no inau will be admitted whose hands are stained with the blood of tbe defen ders of the Goverptflept There are men in eaph of the revolted States, eminent ly fitted for the performance of Congress ional duties, *ho pan qualify under this standard, and if the Southern people are j pot in a frame of mind to elect them, they are not yet in a mood to take part in fne national deliberations. — Pitt*.

Soou after the Constitutional Amend uiciit was posacd by Congress ant] certified to tlii different States by the Secretary ol State, Governor Brownlow eallod an ex tra session of the Legislature, in order to have immediate action on it, preparatory to of Tennessee to her lull fights as a State in the Union. The Pres ident was opposed to the adoption of this amendment, and.it is alleged threw the weight of his influence, against it in Tennessee 1 The result was that sonje of the members of thp i,Q(ju!ature absented theniscjvps from their Kats, foi the pur pose of leaving the House without a quo rum to do busiucss. The Sergcant-at- Aruis was sent out and a sufficient num ber dually obtained, whpq t|iu ameinl rnent was finally passed by a vate of 43 to 11 —two members refusing to vote. , Upon the consumation of this grand achievement. Governor Brownlow tele graphed to Bingham, of the House, that the amendment was adopted ; and, after Lis congratulations, requested him to give his compliments to the "Dead Duck" in the White House ! Upon ih<" receipt of this news a joint resolution was at onceinttoduced declaring Teunessee again restored to her former relations to the Union, which passed both branches witli unt much delay, and was finally signed by the Preside»t after a little growling ip a special message Soon after this result, the wo miters present from this S'ate oamo forward and were sworn into office An exception, however, was mado in the Sanate, in the case of Patterson, one of the Senators elect, who, it was alleged, has filled the office of Judge in a gtate Court uudprthe Confederate Government to which he hid sworn allegiance. An effort was made by his friends to have thetest oath waiv ed in his case, on the grounds that he had bpen in heart a Union man all the tiine, and that he had only taken the oath from necessity and under protest. A resolu tion to this effect passed the Senate, but was lost in the House (being a concurrent resoluiion).

ROCKVILI,?, WAQMEMW Ismnd, ) SfltTii CARQMN*, July 10, 'B6. | FRIEND KOBINSON S —l promised to give you in my next letter spme account of the nf raising the sea-island oot- | lon, of the characteristics of the natives,! Ac., nnd, although a little slow a 1 out it, will now attempt to redeem my promise. The sea-island cotton oan only be grown along the ooast, and on the islands where the soil and atmosphere are impregnated with salt. The ttsplo of ifcVi et>tton is twice or three times as long as that of the upland eotton and of much finer texture, and brings in market about five tiuies tfco price ef the ether. Some loU were sold U#t spring as high as two dollars »»d sev enty-five cent* par pot»»i«i r »»4 it is M pen tod that all the cotton raised on the islands this year will bring at least one di'llar and fifty cents per pound. A good average crop yields one hund red pounds of giuncd cotton to the acre, (two hundred have been rtispd) a ld oae prime hand can. with the hoe alone, work frouffour to five acres of land. The land. whet* ouCtirated every year, has to be manured with salt mud from the surrounding marshes. When this is done, wotk should be commenced in Jan uary. Heretofore the land has always been prepared for planting with the hoe alone, but northern men who are going to try planting next yeir, expert to per form must of the work with ploughs Christy aqd Kennedy from Pcrtersville, have planted, this year, over ono hun dred and fif'J »«r<» of Cflttou in whieh they have used the plough extensively, and they have onp of the finest crops on : tbu Island. The first operation in preparing the laqd is termed "fisting this is done hy dragging all the dead grass or other veg etable matter on the surface, intothe al ley between the oil) cotton rows, and with the t> ue "ff about two- inches in dppth of the surface of tho toil*'so as to hril*£ #'! tho grass- roots into a heap wtth the matter already collected tf there was much grass and weeds on the ground, this operation should be perform ed tiarly so as to allow it to decay before columenciug the second operation which t{nued ''banking, 5 * This consists ip going over the ground aj£»iti npd hauling a considerable quanti ly of larth on top of the "listing," farts- ing a had about twenty inches wide and ten inches high. This jLs neatly round ed up, and the earth on t|ie top pulveri* led. The grqpid is then rea lv pff plant ing, which is doue at auy time from the first to the twenty fifth of April. These beds. or bands, are five feet apart, and the seed U droppad i» » boU wad* by a stroke of th« bye in the top of the bed, at distances of from twelve to eighteen inches apart, and from foar to six saads in a place and covered with two or three inches of toil, A&M the ootton has grown to a height l of thaca or four inches, the hoeing com mences, the amount of which depends on the nature of the soil and on the season, as the grass mutt Ik- kept down ; but in dependent of the grass the cotton requires ahoty£ four hoeings and at each of these, one or two stalks of ootton is removed fruiu eaojj bill «ofil but one stalk is left. Tt)is thinning process requires experi enced hands to perforin it or the crop may be ruined. Tha plant is bisexous, (I think that is the term ) having both male aifi) female plants, and, as is generally th» case, only the female will produce any thing; the male plants arp all thinned out, and judgment is in seleot iqg the proper stalk to remain as some stalks will shoot up tall andaijljr put ont branches near the top; the object is to leave a stalk that will throw out branch es from th<s very bottom. An experien ced hand will also decide at a glanee which plants will produce the Aua*t oot ton. About the second hoein» the operation of hauling is also performed. Ttiia con sists in hauling the tuaiu part of the soil betvpen the roys, up on the top and sides of the bed. The last operatiop before pieking sea son i» termed "laying by the crop." In thi* uli the soil in tb* sllo. is drawn up o<t the oottoin row, leaving the bjttom of the allej' ju the shape of the letter V, and the cgtfjun row; a mound about two fret high, fire feet wide at the the base, »j)d one at the top; this is done just before the plant gets so large that hoes cannot be used without injury to it. After thin, if the grass gPt# too rauk, (which is sol dom the case) it can only be removed by th« band, from around the root of the plant. Cotton planted io April is in full bloom about the lUlh at' July, and I am told the pods begin to open and the picking to commence nbotit the first week in Sep tember, and ol'tcu continue? until the last of December. Cotton is undoubtedly the most profit able crop that ean be cultivated. Y< u can make tljo papulations for yourself.— Hand* tan b» hi rod at 810, or at most, Silt dollars per mouth aud rations. Tbo latter usually consists of a bushel of corn, 12 pounds of pork or b&ooir, a htili gaV lon of fcurlasses, anl a little salt, por month Uy using a mule and a plough to every four hatrds, twelve hands will work one htfndred acres of cotton, aud twenty-five or ihirty of corn or other provisions. And it is safe to olicayi cal culate on 75 pound* to the acre, (you jpaj get twipe that amount) aud fur yours 00, at (oust seventy-five cents per pound for cotton, as the pea-island always so|4 at from forty to fifty ocnU por pouud; One man can manage three or four hundred uuros eually, Now is a very good time to purchase lands here, as farms that before the war sold at from sixty to ninety dollars per acre, can now b«r bought at from thirty to fifty. And my opinion Is, after six month's reafcfeticc here, that any northern nmn who cotoff and suttlct here, minds bis owft bijstasfss, and don't strive to make himself obnoxious by continually harp ing on questions on which he may differ in opinion with the old residents, will be welcomed and treated eourloously and fairly. The old citizens here discuss freely I with northern gentlemen the questions on which the two sections have differed fof th« last forty veal's, and discuss in a friendly and reasonable manner, but do not appear to be particularly fond of such discussions. They appear to acoept the new condition of things pretty cheerful ly and are inclined to give the 'rco la bor system « fair and impartial trial. A few have faith iq it, Out most are doubt ful of its success as applied to cotton Clo ture. From my own observation* I hare HP doubt of it? efifirc success ; but it may require a few years to give both planters and laborers the education that is neces sary ta iDuke it a complete success.

Now, if this pro-» p isal docs nut bear open laced impudcnco oil its ucunteuauue, we do not know what iinpu lence is. In regard to Austria— well, as it is aliea ly pushed out of doors by its victtr i madv.r r, Cicpropositioq might answer, as it would not alter tho position mueh. Hut in regard to Prussia? It is too preposterous to think of it a min ute. One ut the main purposes for which I'russia commenced this War, was a closer union uf the German States a/id a great er influence of I'russia in the affairs.—? Could I'russia lie oxpoctgl for a moment lu agree to a proposition so deaJly to its intermit* ' We almost think it wis ineppr ly offered lo produce a relusa I a*| l<io|( for developments in keeping with this view. The second article provides for the Khtm as the western boundary qf I'russia. and hur compensation IWr tho provinces she would thereby lose, by thu cession of lfts<o-Cassel, llcsse Darmstadt and liruuswick. The provinces of tho above named States are to be indemnified by receiving t|>e Prussian pruviuees of the lett bauk of tI»P Whiuc. Truly We do not know what to a .inire morn in this proposition, its stupendous ins solcnoo or its deep cunning. Franco offers to the victorious Prussians as a oompensMtion what is even now In their possession, and endeavors to uollect on its frontiers a crowd of small Prince.*, who would have to look to France for protection, and would in reality be noth-. ing better than French vassals. Prussia might as well commit suicide at ooce, as accept such a proposition. If she would not consent to have weak I'cmuark stand with one foot on Gcruiau territory in tho North —she oan impossibly suffer power ful Frauoe to enjoy this privilege in tbo West, and this proposal is tkjwefare as absurd as the first. Not even never does Napoleon allow to Prussia, although it could, if hostile territory, with opo blow sever tho vital arteries of Prassia. No liadeo is to receive it as compensation of territory ceded to Franee; Or, da these propositions contain uo demand for land on the side uf Franc? ? Some towns and districts were kindly permitted to joiu France, If su inclined, and if this is not a demand clearly expressed, we con fess pot to kqow the meaning of the word, Ab a matter of oaurso, Prussia could not, did not foi a moment meditate tho qooepvion of tho«6 proposals. What alio demands, ii in keeping with her achieve menu: exclusion of Austria from tho iiermgn diet, a closer union of the sev-. eral States, the right of Prussia to com mand the Federal army and to represent Germany at the foreign Courts. This ia worthy of Prussia, but N-ipoleao becomes alarmed, he sends the Prussian demands to all the foreigu Powers and points, to. them, as something injurious to European, interests.
