, and illiberal, in everything relating to public matters, this man's career was one of unmixed evil. His bigotry taught him to oppress Ireland, but his religion, did not deter him from passing a law to prevent the introduction of medicines into France during a pestilence. He lived by faction the had neither the wisdom to support nor the manliness to put an end to the war in the Peninsula, and his crooked, contemptible policy was shown by withholding what was necessary to sustain the contest, hat Napier challenged the younger Percival, and when his challenge was not accepted, he poured out the vials of his wrath of the memory of the father with tenfold bitterness. The horribly wicked prohibition upon the introduction of medicine into France, at the time it was suffering from pestilence, formed the chief burden of his denunciation. And justly it did so for what can be conceived more utterly diabolical, than such a war with the sick and the dying — with the mother and the infant at h

Production of Sal-petra. Farmville, Va., March 22, 1862. To the Editors of the Dispatch: As I believe you have done much service hitherto in calling attention to the various sources of saltpetre, both in your descriptions of the nitre beds of France and Germany and your notice of the nitrous earths of Southwestern Virginia, I shall venture to say, through your columns, that there is a gentleman in this vicinity who has discovered a mode by which he makes nitre in a very short time; much shorter than that of any of the methods mentioned in your article on nitre beds. I have seen him scrape off from the sides of a glass vessel, containing a composition less than a week old, fine crystals of nitre, which on burning seemed to me to be exceedingly pure. Such as this, he says, however, if made in large quantities, would cost forty-five or forty-six cents the pound, owing to artificial heat employed in its production; but, he is confident it can be made by the same method at

ur frontier towns captured, we have still the heart of the Confederacy to defend in its hills and fastnesses. Our armies will be massed at important centres, and great battles fought by a whole people in arms. "Italy," says the Charleston Mercury, was overrun by the Carthagenians under Hannibal, and Spain by Napoleon — perhaps the two greatest leaders in ancient or modern times. Yet both were defeated and driven back from the soil they had occupied. Prussia, likewise, was overrun by France, Russia, and Austria; and yet were they driven back by Frederick after bloody defeats on his part, leaving twenty and thirty thousand dead men on the field." Greece, with 500,000 people, fought the Turks with 30,000,000 of population for seven years, and at last saved its independence. If we are conquered, it will be our own fault, and because the boasted pluck of the South shall have proved an illusion when the experimentum crucis is applied to its manhood.--We can be free if we will

A Rival maritime power. It was sieged in a late debate in the French Chambers that France could never desire the destruction of the United States, because it was her interest to have as many strong maritime powers as possible to balance the naval superiority of England. It might be supposed that such a fact would operate upon England in a different way. But she seems to have lost sight of this, as well as other great points of interest to her future position as a naval and commercial power. The Anglo French alliance cannot be of eternal duration, and such suggestions as this in the French Chambers ought to be significant of that fact to British statesmen. The French orator might have strengthened his statement by adding that the restoration of the United States would not only secure the existence of a naval power to counterbalance England, but one that will be bitterly hostile to it to the end of time.
