The important order issued in the name of the President, .by Secretary Stanton, (says the .2$.'Y'..'--Arffms,) - will reaasnre the country.' It -. ia an evidence of vigor and wiadom, and indicates a eelAreliance the want of which was - one of the meet deplorable signs of the times. : It is a retraction and recantation of the Absolutist doctrines and, practices, into which ... Secretary Seward drew the- Government ; and . one of the most gratifying features of the mea- - sure ie, that It rebukes and remands to his duties that msddlesome and mischievous official. It was not without a struggle in the Cabinet - that this triumph of Law and the Constitution ; waa achieved. : It will not less reassure the " "country than the triumphant march of our armies against usurpation and rebellion : for the . people see in it the assurance that these victories are for the re-establishment of the Constitution and the Union. It is worthy of notice that the proclamation recite the precise grievances, and in nearly the same words, that the last Democratic State Convention of this State, in its ninth res-'olution..'protested against; and it reserves the 'exception which It indicatedviz., arrests by; the military authority within the line of op-:: erations or the - region of insurrection. The President now says that the interference' with the mails, the establishment of a passport system, the suspension of the privilege of habeas corpus, and the arbitrary arrests, were abnor mal acts, justified only by a vital exigency of the Government, to be abandoned the first moment of public security. This Kysfem. of ter- . ror initiated by Seward and Cameron, to di- ." vert attention from their corruption, and to silence criticism and exposure, and abused to purposes of personal and politicalyengeance, has erdured. too long. The country will rise . reassured, now that th's ' burden ;"of . humilia- J' lion is lifted from its shoulders., When the Democratic. Convention took ground in defence of individual and constitutional rights, there were questions raised as to the poltey of the course,, ift-ibe -party, and. -The cedtiments advanced were correct, it was , admitted ; but it was ilot the time for their ut-- terance ! But when, let us ask, are citizens to protest against usurpations, except in time of civil commotion and danger? To say that OMtUutional immunities are to cease at the first moment of danger, is as absurh as to suspend the contract of insurance in times of frequent conflagrations. It was for just 6uch a crisis that these guaranties were provided. If the Democratic party will not speak in defence of the liberty of the citizen, for what does it exist? If it is silent, what other voice will be raised ? . When the history of this re- " volutionary crisis coine to be written, the loyalty and devotion of the Democracy will shine noMy in the record ; and the safety of the Union and the Cotiatitution, endangered as much by false friends as open enemies, will be " truthfully ascribed to it. : . ........ Since the accession of 31 r. Stanton to the Cabinet, the Administration has done more to reassure the people than in the whole of its previous existence. It lias acted with wis-iom and vigor, and it has discarded the puerile pol- - icy of ignoring the proportions of the war, and Attempting to "prophesy" it out of existence. It has secured a general exchange of prisoners 'kas recognized the captured privateers as pris-r oners of war ;. and .now opportunely concedes the restoration,-of suspended constitutional rights. Andat the same time, along the -whole line of operatlonsr from Hatteras coast 'to Western Missouri, the , army advances ti-V umphantly. With the applauses of tue peo -pie over the: restoration of the Constitution. " are mingled the huzzas of victory from pur gallant. army. Thisi acclamation ascends to. .Heaven, as a prayer, to calluown its blessing on a people who have not loss their love of ; liberty. - ;y; v ' :: ; ; .

' lbe war has no such preposterous object as that. It is to pre serve our territory intact within its essential boundaries, and to vindicate the vital fact tuat this is really a nation and not a mere league of thirty-four sovereignties. We are fighting to maintain our own rightful authority over the territory of South Carolina and Florida. and not to enable the rebels ascendant there to send new Tulees and MalJorys into the Senate to plunder us, or new Hammonds to beard and insult us in our own Capitol. We are fighting, in short, to establish the rights, not qf rebels, but of the nation. . It is, of course, the expectation and hope tbat ultimately the . condition of affairs may be such as to render it safe to re-admit into the Union all the States which have left it. But great social and political changes must be made in some of them, before this expectation can be realized. In the meantime, the monstrous heresy that the Union exists to-day as it did in 1860, contrary as it is both to notorious facts and to rational lejral iews, should not be tolerated for a moment. J t takes two to mane a oargain, and any agreement we may hereafter make with South Carolina and Florida, (we speak of them, by way of illustration,) is a bargain de novo, th'ey having themselves nullified the old one. In treating with them, of course we must consider our duties to their loyal inhabitants, few at best, but not on that account the less entitled to protection. How it may be next week, or next rear, no man can foresee, but to day the very worst way to protect them, would be to re-invest the blooflv and desperate factions which rule them, with the powers and attributes of state sovereignty. WHAT IS TO BE DONE? From the New York Journal of Commerce. The question which has been started by the radical men, how shall the South be governed, was ingeniously devised to produce an effect on the minds of friends' of the Union who were neither political economists nor. thoroughly read in American public law. -It perhaps might have seduced some good men, if the principle had not been so clearly in their minds that the Union is the Constitution, and that the government of the United States is a very different matter from the government Of a State. Some professed friends, of the Union, who are nevertheless ready to take any side of any question for popularity, have caught iop the cry. in a id of the-radical men, and this ex. j plaimrh'llou&dering of the is ew YorlcWorTd r laab week when out of its depth on a constitutional discussion.. We print a specimen ex tract from the World's discussion only to a warning to others not to meddle with subjects beyond their ability: v .... There will be wholesale purcine. Every abomination will be swept off and destroyed utterly. The Constitution which the people means to save is the Constitution of Washington, and Madison and Marshall and Jay ; not the Constitution of Calhoun and Jeff Davis, and Buchanan, and Taney. It is tlie Consti tution which treats slavery" as a local and no: as a national institution. In this manner the radical men expected to trap the unwary, but it is pleasant to record that they have not apparently caught any thing of more value than this. The Constitution, whether called of Wash ington. liuchanan or Lincoln, is a very clear and plain instrument, the same in Its first years as to-day, the grand foundation of our 'right?. and that Coiiftitution it is necessary . to pre serve in -the present struggle, free from all pur- , glossing. or' higher law' interpretations, if we woubl survive as a nation. In every line and letter it is of priceless value to the American people. - It is suggest e-1 that the States which have nominally seceded, and have actually excluded theoOfcers of the United States from their territory, have thus cut themselves off from the Union, are dead as States, and are to be governed as Territories. The absurdity of this idea, unless we change the whole system of the Constitution, is very plain. Let us take South Carolina for example. What has that State d,one, up to the present time, which is illegal and rebellious? Every act that she passed in violation of the U. S. Constitution ia to be elassed among her acts of rebellion. In law they are void. : But laws passed in the ordina ry course of. State legislative proceeding, not in violation o." the U. S. Constitution, are val id, and are the laws of South Carolina; It is. therefore, very maiufest that the State Of Sotiln Carolina remains in existence. No lawyer or American political economist has- any : doubt that the Legishunre of Kbath Carolina" may ro-o.fy pass a vaua aci aecreeing tne pcnisn- mentpf bigamy. .But" let lis, suppose the.Uni ted State9 army in possession of that..

The same is true of the collection of taxes, of the protection of mailroutss, of the holding of United States Coorts and enforce their process and decrees : The Utter suggestion, enforcing the powers of the Courts, involves indeed the most important relations of the Stale to its sister States. ; . The wisdom of the founders of the ' United States Constitution becomes astonishing clear, when we consider in times like the present, the relation, pf the Constitution to the State authorities. So magnificent, and yet so simple, was this machinery which they devised.-thaU the two sovereignties, State and Union, never clash and never interfere;. New -York, may withdraw her representatives from Washing- r. . . i ? . . r.T. ton, may reiuse io noia any iniercourpe wnu the United States, and yet. So long as she does not by force interfere with the operation of United States laws, inst so long the whole machinery of State and Federal. Government will work in ' harmony.. The territory of New York does no! belong to the-United States, nor would it be possible for thq jurisdiction over it to the exclusion of the State jurisdiction. It might, indeed, occur that the citizens of New York would, so far and so long, resist the United States authority in executing its laws, as to make necessary the total extermination of the rebellion and the rebels, so that not a voter should be left on the soil of the State. Then the terrific fact of an extinguished State would be realized; but bv no other process; and in no other way, so fong as the Constitution remains, can the United States exclude from New York soil the jurisdiction Of New York Legislatures, and officials, as to all uattere on which States may legislate, subject to the higher law of the U. S.Uonsti-tution. ' .v ' . ' ' ;i ' The fact that a State survives forever, and that the United States, equally immortal, has but to enforce its laws in the State, is the simple fact on which the American system rests. - The discussion would seem to be an idle one, were it not that such weak-people as the New York World are liable to le led into treating the Constitution as an instrument capable .of all kinds of interpretations,; instead of the simple plain instrument whirji protects, by national -authority, the rights and privileges of the citizen's' in every State, guaranteeing them their Sfate eoveroignty, while the State remain, supreme in aH resen-ed powen."r We had a revolution in New ' York a; few years ago. Tlie people met in Convention, re-jected their old .Constitution, and made. a new oner The ' old State of New ' York had not ceased to exist, although no pro vision had, been made for such a revolution, or to justify a new Constitution. These radical gentlemen would!. rnvr, r,T. t r .t ytly f b h l" the United " States Govern men t might .have stepped in and claimed jurisdiction over the territory of New York ! X - '' '-"-.T -The rihtof th e Govern men t ' fo enforce its laws and re-possess its property, in all the Sjate8, even to the extermination ' of the" last resisting man, is beyond question. ' This is the course marked out for the present war. The Constitution alone confers, the power which is used, and the power of the Constitution alone is to be asserted. This is the spirit of the resolution of Congress. . " that in this national emergency. Congress, banishing all feeling-of mere passion 6r resentnient..will recollect only its duty to the whole country; that this war is not waged on their part in any spirit of oppression, or for any purpose of conquest or subjugation, or purpose of overthrowing or interfering with the rights or established institutions qf those Stales, but (o defend and maintain the supremacy of Vic Con stihetion. and to preservi'the" Union, with all the diff itp, etpxalfy, and rights' of the several ilates'vnim-paired.; d thai as soon it these objects mre etom-plished, the war ought to cease." :V-. .'-..

Dr. Perkins exhibited; a copy of the New Testament which he found in Persia, which wis sevenTiundred .years old. , Jt was written in the- ancient" Syriac ; language, the same spoken ' by Jesus' Christ when on earth, upon parchment, with a reed for a pen. Of course the volume was bulky, though.' not as large as we r should suppose a Testament made in tbat way. would be. ;It was not thick er than a Webster's unabridged, and not more than, two-thirds as large. . Dr. Perkins found three or four copies of the Testament in this form in that country, which was- as- the Dr.-says, the only written language that the people had. By the aid of these he made a language for the Nestoriaus,nd instructed them m it for nearly thirty years: Dr. Perkins -abio said that this New Testament, which had been transcribed in this rude manner several times, and handed down from the time of Christ, was in every important respect, the same as the Word which we now haye a remarkable proof of the authenticity of onr Bible. A ' Prencli Miracle.- ; . , The well-known French Missionary, Father Bridaine, was always poor, for the simple 'reason that he gave away everything that he had. One evening he asked for a nigh J s lodging of the curate of the village through which he passed, and the worthy; man, having only one bed shared it with him. At daybreak Father Bridaine rose "according to the custom, i and went to say his prayers at. the neighboring church. Returning from his sacred duty, he met a beggar who asked alms. Alas ! my friend, I nave nothing' said the good priest mechanically putting his hand into his breeches pocket, where, tohia astonishment, be found something hard wrapped up in a paper, which he knew He had not left there.' He hastily opened the paper, and seeing four half crowns in it, cried; put that it was a miracle.-.: He gave the money to the beggar, and hastened to the church to return thanks to God. The curate soon after arrived there, and Father Bridaine related the miracle with the greatest unction. The curate turned pale," put. his:, hand in his pocket, and in an instant. perceived that Father Bridaine, in getting pp in the dark, "had taken the -wrong pair, ef breeches.- He had pei formed a miracle wita the curate's crowns. . v Genisa aad Labor. ; ;' '-..

After obtaining a light he found his wife dead, and her body cold and stiff. , Her head was burned almost to a crisp, and her. features were distorted and hideous. . On portions of her apparel and on other, articles about the -house were strains of bloodbut no undoubted marks of violence ere shown cm her person.
