Another motto, in that grand ovation

"Go to the Devil, Andy." This is* af-
ter the manner of the San Antonio Ex-

great credit to the "loyalty" of the St.

tion to Sheridan with one to McCoole,
the Pugilist. The people of the United
States—"that is to say," not the ne-
groes—will soon find out what is meant
by "loyalty" in a radical's «dictionary.
Ak International Code.—It appears
from a statement in the N * Y. Evening'
Post, that a number of distinguished
gentlemen from Great Britain, Fran«>
Germany, the United States and other
civilized nations, are taking steps to
prepare a Code which shall ba consid-
ered of universal authority. There is
no work at present of the kind, which
receives undisputed sanction. The old
books of Grotius and Ysttel are still
referred to, and the modern treatise of
our countryman, Wheaton, is undoubt-
edly the best we have now. The Code
is needed, and, if it should be generally
accepted by the civilized nations of the
world, may save much trouble and pre-
vent wars. The idea is a good one and
might have said bette^gfcvhat he .has
left unsaid, and,- if the printers have
made a few blunders, as is generally
the case, they are-kind enough to point
them cut and refer to'some other paper
as,being beautifully *piinied and ably
edited. All this, of course, is very

Are the people of Texas aware, that
the senior proprietor of the Journal,
and sometimes editor, is not only an
"old Texaia politician/' but was also,
an "old Georgia politician ?" He was.
When it is remembered, that this
gentleman was in the Charleston Con-
vention, ánd one of the deliberate plot-
ters for the destruction of the Union,
it will not be a source of wonder, that
he hates such men, as Hill, Johnson
and Perry; while he deliberately
sought to bring about a dissolution of
the Union and its consequences, they
were exerting themselves, to save the
country. Ñót content with his efforts
in Georgia, he hastened to Texas, to
forward the cause, which lay so near

It wasso pleasant, he said, to abuse

abuse and fault-finding. We cannot,
recommend him for imitation. For
ourself, we dislike cxcitement. It gives
us no pleasure to denounce rogues and
rascals, hypocrites and liars, fanatics
and radicals. We had rather dwell on
the virtues of mankind and depict the
beautifhl and the good. We like even
to palliate and find excuses for weak
erring, mortals, if wegjgfe without
compromise with ourwSronscience.

pain, and we sigh to think that there
can be such wickedness in our midst.
But if there ia not much ia editorial

are sometimes incidents which are quite
amusing and help an editor to bear his
blessing. We can imagine the patriotic-

shield, saying to the excited boy, ren-

scene must have 1>een affecting And

-And now, when the valiant
trying to get up a rebellion against, the
Government, and is threatening to
make "a vagabond" of tSb President,
if his friend, the great Bombastus, fails
to assissinate him, his mind still runs
on "dress." Yes, Major, by all means
dress up your ranks—for they are the
most ragged, dirty, disreputable look-
ing set, we ever saw. FalstafFs re-

Constitution, and disregard of the
rights of the Southern people under it
and guaranteed by it, brought on the
war aad its terrible calamities to both
sections. The war' strengthened the
enemies of the Constitution, for the
supposed military necessities for its
prosecution caused ® pro-
visions to be set aside, temporarily ,, as
some supposed, but the result has been
disastrous to that once venerated in-
strument. The fighting is over—hos-
tile armies are nt> longer arrayed
against each other in deadly conflict,
brother against brother and father
against son, but the war against the
Constitution, begun at an early day, is
now waged more fiercely than ever,
although some of its enemies consider
it as dead and treat it as a nullity,
D even scoffing at its memory as "a fos<-

Shameful.—After the interesting cer-
emonies lately had at Antietam, which
the President attended, were conclu-

Geary to make a speech, who abused
the arrangements made and talked about
gaga, &c. The whole disturbance was
gotten up out of spite to the President
and was disgraceful to those concerned
in it. With the prospect of their wan-
ing power, the radicals are getting fu-
rious. " Whom the gods intend to de-
stroy,-ibey first make mad."

Governor when the request was first
made to him by a large majority of the
late State Convention. Gentlemen who
were there, and among them Gov. Hen-
derson, CoL Ge*try, and Gen. Whit-
field, who roomed with him, knew that
he was sincere. And it was not until
the conservative members of the Con-

the article, and* the publishers of that
paper deserve, as they will receive, the
contempt of every original secessionist
and original Union man who voted fo*
those gentlemen. And that is not all
—such contemptible meanness cannot
be approved by those whom it was in-
tended to please. There is not a heart

depraved, or more lost to a gense of
honor, than the heart that gave utter-
ance to such a sentiment. «

Washington, Sept. 18—The Presi-
dent arrived safely, at one o'clock this
morning from New Yofk.
A party of Southern gentlemen gave
a dinner to Gen. Beauregard at the
New York Hotel. In the sourse of
hfs remarks, the General stated that
he had received many offers from
English capitalists, to take up his
residence in England as superintend-
ent of extensive engineer works in that
country, but he had concluded _
calmly surveying different governments
of the world, their status and then in
point of strength, that this country
possessed the best sUfcle government
of any land on the face of the earth,
and as for his part he was determined to
pass his life underthe flagof the govern-
ment that was most stable, and least
liable to disc organization. It was
to raise one they could

were busily engaged in clipping pieces
of the rock as relics; McClellan's posi-

near a red farm house a little less com-
manding than that occupied by Lee.
The following illustrates the har-
mony of the ceremonies. The loud

at the conclusion of the address, of Gov.
Bradfute, showed many Pennsylvanians

olina to enforce the process of the Uin-
ted States Court relative to the debt
which Gen. Sickles regarded as in vio-
lation of order No. 10. j- Mf-' k'
It is well understood here that Gen-

to the particular case now pending,
though he will repeal the order in ques-
