The following is the official correspondence
wbieh was occasioned by the supposed refusal of
the French government to let Mr. Soule pass
through France on bis way to Madrid :

■legation United States, (

ident of very grave import ha*

t Mr. Soule, United States Minis-
ter to Spain, haAbran prohibited, by alleged or- j
deraof
me^hatNeither by °d by wo.ds, uttered
or written, had he afforded a shadow ol excuse
for the wanton measme which, in violation of j
his rights as a citizen ol the North American re
public, and of his privileges as one of its accre
jflg. dited Ministers, has interdicted to him a passage
through France on his way back to Madrid. 1
lost no*time after the return of Mr. Platt in ad
dressing to the Minister ol Foreign Affairs, under
date of the 27th inst.a communication, of which
I send you a copy. It was sent to the Foreign
Office on tbe2Bth, and I have not yet received
an answer. IT
It is impossible not to regard Ibis humiliating
indignity as deeply injurious, when it is remem
bered that Mr. Soule, acting under your oiders,
_ has recently spent more than two weeks in
Paris; and while sojourning here, neither he nor
I received any intimation that his presence was
objected to by French Government.
Seeing.no adequate cause to justify an unliieud
ly feeling towards the United States, ! cannot
but hope that the French Government, finding
that it has acted on erroneous information, w ill
at once redress this grievous wrong.
If in this I am disappointed, earnest as I have
been since I have represented our country at this
Court to cultivate the most cordial relations ol
amity between the two countries, I must con
sider this incident of such grave importance that
it is not impossible I shall jegard ,: t to be my
daty to terminate my mission by demanding my
,**§te!>sports. I will not lose a moment in keeping j
pTyeu advised of the reply to my note, and of the
progress of events in connection with this most
r extraordinary affair.
I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your
obedient servant,
(Signed) J. Y. Mason.
Minister Mason to Drouyn de I'Huys.
Legation des Etats Unis,)
Paris, 27th Oct. 1804. j
Mr. Drouyn de l’Huys, Minister of Foreign
Wkjlffairs — Sir: I have received information that
Kon the 24tb instant Mr. Souie, on his arrival at
■ Calais from the shores of England, was notified
F by a police officer that orders had been given by
the Imperial Government that he should not be
permitted to euter France, and that by these or
ders he was compelled to return to England,
where he now remains. Mr. Soule is a citizen
of the United States, accredited as an Envoy
Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from
his country to the Court of Spain. He had, in
executing the orders of his government, visited
Paris and London, and was returning to his post
at Madrid by the most usual and convenient
route through the territories of France, when he
was thus arrested in his journey. He had receiv- j
ed no notice of the determination of the Em- j
peror’s government to deny him a privilege !
awarded by all nations to citizens ot subjects of J
friendly powers traveling under their protection; ,
and especially those who are clothed with the
sacred character of public minister—for he was
actually arrested in his journey some hours before
I received the intimations in regaid to him,
which you did me the honor to give me in the
afternoon of the 24th inst. If authorized by the
Emperor’s government, it cannot but be regard- j
ed by the government and people of the United
States, not only as a most unusual and humilia
ting act towards the minister personally, hut as
a national indignity of very grave character, only
to be extenuated by facts established by con
clusive proof. Without waiting for special in
structing to that effect, I regard it as my impe
rative duty to hasten to ask for what reasons one
of my fellow-citizens, chosen by my country as
a representative to a Foreign Power, has been
so treated, while relations of amity and peace
exist and are cherished by the United States
with France. My Government will be filled
with painful anxiety until satisfactory informa
tion in reply to this inquiry can be communicat
ed. I cannot but hope that your Excellency
will furnish me with such explanations as may
relieve the Minister from the position in which
he has thus been placed, and which will enable
me to allay the unpleasant feelings which the
intelligence of tnis occurrence will occasion in I
the United States.
1 avail myself of this opportunity to renew to
your Excellency the assurances of the high con
sideration with which I am your humble and
obedient servant, J. Y. Mason.
M. Drouyn De VHuys to Mr. Mason.
(Translation.)
Paris, Nov. 1, 1854.
Ip Sir:—l have received the letter you did me
the honor to write me, under date of the 27th of
the last month, in which 3’ou ask me for some
explanations us to the motives of the determina
tion taken with legaid to Mr. Soule. 1 must, in 1
the first place, state the manner in which things
have occurred.
_ The Minister of the Interior had to give di
| rectioris that Mr. Soule should not be allowed to j
penetrate into Fiance without the knowledge of
the government of the Emperor. The instruc-j
I tions of Mr. Billant were strictly followed, and !
carried out with the utmost propriety by the
Commissary ol the police at Calais. According
ly that functionary did not invite Mr. Soule to I
embark again for England—he left him perfectly i
free to remain at Calais until he should receive
I orders from Paris, which he was about to re
quest. It was simply a question ot waiting pa
tiently for one day at the most; but Mr. Soule,
after saying that he did not expect any regard
on the part of the French government, and that
besides he did not care lor it, preferred to go
back to England immediately. The Minister of
the Interior did, nevertheless, torward his defini- j
tive instructions to Calais by telegraph, and I
can do nothing better than to transcribe them
here, psa
gl “If Mr. Soule ptesents himself for the purpose
I# of enteriug France, you will give him to under
stand that the Emperors government does not
authorize him to sojourn there, but that it makes
no opposition to his passing through in order to !
go to Spain ; and you wll offer him to vise his
passport for that destination.”
You perceive, sir, tbat the Government of the
Emperor has not sought, as you seem to believe,
to prevent an Envoy of the United States from
traversing French territory in order to repair to !
* his post and acquit himself of the commission
with which he was charged by his Government; I
but between that simple passage and the stay of
a foreigner whose antecedents (I regret to say
it) have awakened the attention of the authori
ties whose duty it is to preserve public order
'among'us, there is a difference which the Min
ister ol the Interior was bound to appreciate. If i
Mr. Soule had been going directly to Madrid, the
route by France was open to him. If.it was his j
intention to come to Paris, with a view to re
maining there, that was not accorded '
him It was, therefore, neccessary to consult
him as to his intention, and it was himself who
would not allow time to do so. Our laws aie j
■ a . r j c t w ,th respect to foreigners. The Minister [
of the Interior causes their rigorous previsions to
he executed, when it is shown him that there is
«nv necessity for such action—and even then he
makes use of discretionary power which the
Government of the Emperor has never allowed
IT he discussed. The quality ol foreigner on the
p£rtof Mr Soule placed him within the scope
of the measure of which he was the object; all
i that remained was to reconcile this measure
with the public character with which he was
invested.
| You will acknowledge, sir, that tnis what we
| have done, and that the Government of the U.
| States, w ith which Government His Majesty the
; Emperor has at heart to cultivate the relations of
friendship and esteem, has in nowise been as
sailed in the person of one of its representatives.
! The Minister of the United States in Spain is
liee, I repeat it, to pass through Frence. Mr.
Soule, who has no mission to fulfill near the Em
peror, and who conformably with the doctrine
sanctioned by the law of nations, would need, on
account of his origin, a special agreement to en
able him so represent, in his native land, the
country of his adoption—Mr. Soule, as a simple
private individual, comes within the pale of the
common law which has been applied to him, and
he cannot lay claim to any privilege.
Accept, sir, the assurance of high consideration
with which I have the honor to remain your
very humble and obedient servant,
Drouyn De l’Huys.
Mr. Mason, United States Minister.
Mr. Mason to Secretary Marcy.
Legation United States, 1
No. 41.] Paris, Nov. 11, ’54. j
Sir :—ln my dispatch No. 37, I informed you
of occurrences at Calais, by whicb Mr. Soule was
interrupted in the prosecution of his journey to
Spain ; and with that dispatch I sent you a copy
of my letter to M. Drouyn de I’Huys, Minister
of Foreign Affairs, of 27th of October last. On
the Ist of November I received from His Excel
-1 lency a note in reply to mine of that date. I send
I the original, retaining a copy for the files of the
Legation.
Until the receipt ol this note, I had understood
the prohibition of Mr. Soule’s entering France to
be unqualified ; and such, too, was the undestand
ing of that gentleman—for, by reason of its ex
ecution, he had to return to England.
On the 6th instant I addressed to the Minister
i of Foreign Affairs a communication, of which I
send you herewith a copy. I have received no
leply, and presume it will conclude a correspon
; dence which I felt it to be my duty to open,
without waiting for special instructions from the
President. The result, I am happy to say, is
that no impediment exists to the passage of the
! American minister accredited to the Spanish
; government through France to his place of offi
cial duty. This is recognized, beyond doubt, a
| principle of the law ot nations, interesting to
every country, because its denial would seriously
embarrass the maintenance of diplomatic mis
sions, who*e influence in promoting peace and
! preserving good relations in the family of nations
is universally acknowledged.
I communicated to Mr. Soule, at London, my
correspondence with the Emperor’s government;
and on the morning of the 9th instant, he arriv
ed in Paris, and left on the 11th for Bordeaux,
1 where he expected to find the United States
j steam frigate San Jacinto, in which he will take
1 passage for Spain.
I have the honor to be, very repectfully,
Your obedient servant, J. Y. Mason.
Hon. Wm. L. Marcy, Secretary of State.
Mr. Mason to M. Drouyn de VHays.
Legation United States, 1
Paris, Nov. 6, ’54, J
Sir : — I have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt ot Your Excellency’s letter of the Ist of
November, in reply to mine of the 27th of Octo
ber, ult. I have carefully examined your narra
tive of circumstances which led to the event and
gave occasion for this correspondence.
-It is quite manifest that the order under which
the Commissary of Police at Calais acted, when
he interdicted Mr. Soule’s entrance into France,
I did not present to the American Minister any
alterhative but to return to England, or remain
in Calais, virtually under duress until the further
orders of the Emperor’s Government could be
received, I think your Excellency will concur
in the opinion that he could not, consistently
with the dignity of his government, remain on
the frontier of France—there situated, awaiting
orders which he had no reason to believe would
be more favorable than the one which denied
him entrance upon French territory. I cannot,
therefore, but deeply regret the precise telegraph
, ic order which your Excellency has incorporated
5 in your letter to me, did not precede Mr. Soule’s
; arrival at Calais.
: I hat order lam pleased to find, removes all
i impediment to the free passage of the American
I Minister accredited to the Court of Spain,
I through the territory of France. I have not
failed to observe the declaration that Mr. Soule’s
| residence in France will not be authorized by
the Emperor's Government. As his public duty
require him to reside in Spain, he has no inten
tion, as far as I am informed, of remaining or
residing in France. I therefore forbear entering
into any examination of the reasons suggested
for the determination to deny him the privilege
or of the manner in which he has been noti
fied for the purpose of the Imperial Government.
I have observed also the distinction which
your Excellency makes between individuals and
, ministers.
VVithout undertaking to inquire how far such
: distinction can be maintained—for it is not ne
cessary to the occasion to guard myself against
I being misunderstood if I pass it rn silence—l
must say, that in my opinion, one who is a pub
lic Minister, passing through the territory of a
friendly nation to the Court to which he is ac
credited, has privileges under the solemn sanc
tion of the laws of nations, about which, if it
shall become necessary to discuss them, I feel
assured that I will not have the misfortune to
find conflicting views held by one so enlighten
ed as your Excellency. 1 have much satisfac
tion in receiving the assurance, given in the
emphatic declaration of your E icellency, that
the Minister of tfie United States to Spain is at
! liberty to traverse France towards his post, and
obeying the commission with which he is charg
ed by his government. -
The recognition of this right is all that I have
to ask of the Emperor’s government in the pre
mises, and on this, as on all other occasions, I re
: ceive with pleasure the assurance that the gov
ernment of His Imperial Majesty has at heart
relations of friendship and esteem with the gov
! ernment of the United Stales. Feeling which,
it is my constant desire ind effort to cherish and
strengthen them.
1 will hasten to communicate this correspon
dence to my government, and will also inform
the American Minister to Spain who is still at
London, ol the lesult which has been arrived
at.
I avail myself of the opportunity to renew to
your Excellency assurance of the very high con
sideration with which I am your obedient, hum
ble servant, J. Y. Mason.
Independence, Mo., Dec. s.— The Salt Lake
mail has arrived, with reports that on the 13th
ult., the mail party under charge of John Jami
son, whilst coming to the States, was attacked,
as is supposed by a party of Sioux Indians, near
Dripp's Trading Post, six miles this side of Fort
Laramie, and ail the men killed, as follows.—
Jamison, James VVheeler,Thos. Hackett, and a
passenger from Salt Lake, named Charles A.
Kincard, who was pierced by several arrows and
left for dead. The mail bags were robbed of their
contents and all torn open. Kincard was robbed
of $10,500 in gold. The mules were also all
driven off. A mail party outward bound, passed
by the spot on the 17th, and found some soldiers
who took care of the bodies. No escort could be
granted at the post, and the mails of November
could go no further than Fort Laramie ; and that
of December had returned to independence.
Washington, Dec. 6.—The election of Sena
tor Bright as Presidennt ol the Senate came
near being attended with unpleasant conse
quences. The caucus was anything but har
tnonius. In fact, at one time came near separa
ting in a row before a selection was made, con
sequent upon Judge Butler urging the selection
of Mr. Bright as President of the Senate for the
time being, merely; still considering Atchison
as Vice President pro tetn., thus opening an issue
between the North and South. But for the firm
ness and persuasion of Northern Senators, most
unpleasant results to the business of the Senate,
at this session, would have ensued. Much bit- :
terness is still felt by some Southernor Senators. !
that Mr. Bright should be elected without quali- !
fication as to time.
The Weather.— Winter has “come in like!
a lion,” whether it will “go out like a lamb” re- I
mains to be seen. Last Tuesday was asr-<old,
windy, “blue” a day as often gets down into this
latitude. On Wednesday moining we observed
thicker ice than we have seen lor a number of
years. We did not learn how the mercury stood, •
but it must have been pretty well down. At
present the weather is pleasant, with a tendency i
towards getting a little warmer.— Albany (Ga.) !

Thirty-Third Congress—Second Session.
SENATE.
Washington, Dec. 6 —The Chair laid be
fore the Senate reports from the Treasury De
partment.
Mr. Adams introduced a bill establishing a
uniform rule of naturalization and repealing all
laws now in force ielating thereto.
Mr. Slidell offered a resolution calling for all
correspondence, fke., relative to the expedition
to Japan. Agreed to.
Mr. Cass introduced a bili making an appro
priation for deepening the channels over the St.
Ciair Flats and the Fiats of St. Mary’s river.—
Referred.
Mr. Hunter called the attention of the Senate
to the condition of the bill making appropria
tions for the Ocean mail service. The two
Houses at the lest sessiou disagreed upon a re
port, of a conterence committee on that bill.—
The question pending was on a motion that the
Senate recede from its amendment and on that
question the Senator from New York was speak
ing when the session terminated. He supposed
the bill now came up as unfinished bussiness.
He moved it be postponed till Monday next.
Mr Stuart thought that the bill was by the
action on it at last session lost and no possible
way could it come up now as unfinished busi
ness.
Mr. Broadhead said he considered it entirely
immaterial whether the bill had been lost or now
came up as unfinished business. The money in
tended to have been appropriated w’as due the
parties and had been paid to them by the Depart
ment out of some unexpended balances in its
hands belonging to the Ocean mail service. He
considered the money had been most properly
applied as it had been, to the payment of what
was due the contractors.
Mr. Seward hope the subject would be laid
over, and it was then postponed till Monday.
The bill of last session to relinquish to Wiscon
sin certrin Saline lands therein was taken up.
The house amendment thereto was agreed to,and
the bill was passed.
The Senate then adjourned.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Fifteen thousand extra copies of the annual
report of the Secretary of the Treasury were or
dered to be printed.
Mr. Sollers’ resolution calling on the President
to Inform the House what were the objects and
results of the conference of American Ministers
at Ostend; and whether the eonlerrence was in
obedience to instructions from tne State Depart
ment was taken up.
Mr. Chastain moved to lay it upon the table.
Negatived—yeas 72, nays 90.
Mr. Skelton moved a reconsideration of the
vote by which the House refused to commit ihe
resolution to the committee of foreign affairs
Mr. Washbuine, of Illinois, moved to lay that
motion on the table. Negatived—years 84
nays 89.
Mr. Skelton’s motion was then agreed to—
yeas 94, nays 83.
The resolution was finally referred to the com
mittee on foreign affairs. Yeas 92, nays 83.
The House then proceeded to the considera
sion of the River and Harbor bill, as returned last
session, with the President’s objections.
Mr. Clingman said, as the President has pro
mised to send in his detailed views on the sub
ject it would perhaps be proper for the House to
wait until that time. He voted against the bill,
and did not wish to hear anything further, but
perhaps as some gentlemen who differ with the
President may wish to have his views more ful
ly before them, he suggested that the considera
tion cf the subject be postponed tor a few days.
Mr. Dunbar said that large appropriations are
made in thejbill for the improvement of the mouth
of the Mississippi and its tributary streams, in
which all bis constituents are interested. He
voted for the bill in the committee of commerce
and on its final parage in the House; and
thought the Presideat ought not have vetoed it,
but he thought decent respect for the chief mag
istrate should induce them to wait until the Pres
ident shall communicate his reasous for the veto
more fully. He moved the postponement of the
bill till this day week. All could then act un
derstandingly, and gentlemen determine wheth
er they shall attempt to pa*s the bill notwith
standing the veto o# the President; or whether
they shall introduce another which will not be
liable to the objections which the President may
assign.
Mr, Wentworth, of Illinois, said if he supposed
there was any individul in the house who could
be influenced one way or arother by a message
of the President touching this subject he would
vote for its postponement, but he sincerely be
lieved every man was prepared to vote yea or
nay on the bill. The subject is familiar to every
body, it has been an agitating matter ever since
the organization of the government and has been
debated on every stump. This being the case he
did not know why the House should not as well
act now as at any other time. He supposed that
the message already sent with the return of the
River and Harbor bill, was really the veto mes
sage. Tbay had no right then to allow the Presi
dent to send another message to be so considered.
He would carry out the will of his constituents
and presumed every man would do the same.
He would withdraw the motion to reconsider if
any gentleman would state he is in doubt as to
what he ought to do in the absence of the Presi
dent’s promised message.
Mr. Taylor, of Ohio, asked the gentlemen
whether the bill contained any item for the im
provement of rivers and harbors not heretofoie
recommended by the proper departments of the
government.
The Speaker reminded the gentleman that a
general debate was out cf order.
Mr. Campbell concurred in Mr. Dunbar’s
suggestion that a decent respect for the President
requires at least the suspension of action till the
Executive shall have more fully communicated
his views.
Had the gentleman from Louisiana any infor
mation as to the lime the President will send in
his message ?
Mr. Dunbar replied in the negative, but doubt
ed not it would be here in a very few days.
Mr. Campell asked, by this time next week 1
Mr. Dunbar replied, 1 have no doubt ol it.
Mr. Campbell hoped then that the House
would extend the courtesy to the President.
Mr. Wentworth, of Illinois, moved the pre
vious question, which was seconded—ayes 82,
nays 73.
The question was put, will the House pass the
River aud Harbor bill, the President’s objections
to the contrary notwithstanding, and it was de
cided in the negative—yeas 95, nays 80. The
constitutional majoiity of two-thirds not voting
therefor.
The House then adjourned.
The late Fire in Columbia.— The Colum
bia Times of Saturday says:
In our hastily prepared sketch of the disasters
and losses, caused by the fire on Wednesday
night, we find, on being more accurately inform
ed, that we have, unintentionally of course, com
mitted some errors. We were in error in report
ing the destruction of Mr. E. Bellinger’s valua
ble Library ot Law and Miscellaneous Books.
It affords us great satisfaction to report that all
of his books were saved.
We omitted, through ignorance of the fact, to
state that the Governor’s Guards were also* on
duty, preserving order and guarding property
from molestation ; and that they were the first
company to mount guard. Their promptness
cannot be too highly commended.
We omitted to notice the heavy loss sustained
by Mr. W. C. Brown, wbo, with his family oc
cupied the house of Mr. Peckham, which was lo
cated on Sumter street. We learn from subse
quent information that all of his furniture,
which was very valuable, together with a fine
gold watch and some valuable jewelry, was en
tirely consumed.
We omitted also, to mention, that Mr. T. J.
LaMotte’s Book-bindery, over Dr. Miott’sDrug
store, was destroyed. His loss is estimated at
lrom twelve to fifteen hundred dollars. Avery
small portion of his mateiials and tools weio
saved.
It may be we have been guilty of other errors
and omissions. If so, we wifi thank any of our
tiiends to inform us of them, so that we mav
rectify them.
1 be New YorkjCourier& Enquirer announces
that the Government of Nicaraugua does not ac
quiesce in the proposed colonization of the Mos
quito Territory by the company under Col. Kin
ney, and will probably interpose a most energe
tic remonstrance not only with our own Gov
ernment, but with the representatives of the
foreign powers generally. There are two grounds
for her oppositions. First, she never has recog
nized, and never will, the sovereignty of the
King of Musquitos, or his jurisdiction in any
sense whatever; and, consequently attaches no
value to the titles derived from that authority
under which the “American Land and Mining
Company’ now claim ownership. And second- 1
ly, she imputes to the expedition an unfriendly
and filibustering purpose—an iutention to set up
in her own territory a jurisdiction independent
o! hers. Thus it is that the unsettled state in *
which our diplomatists have so long left the as- I
lairs of Central Ameriea*is ever working out 1
fresh evil.

The Mails.
It is seldom we get a Northern mail on the
day it is due. Last evening we received no pa
pers from offices North of Charleston. 1
The Fair.
Well, the Fair week is over, and the numerous
visitors, 90 far as the weather was concerned, had
a fair but dusty week of it. The Premiums
have been awarded, and it was our intention to
have pulished the list in full on Saturday or Sun
day morning, even if we had to undergo the
labor of transcribing it. On undertaking the
work, however, we found that a number of the
Committees had not made their reports. We
trust, that when the Secretary makes out his
list, he will furnish us with a copy so as to ena
ble us to lay before our readers, as early as any
other paper, the list of premiums awarded, as we
believe ours was the only paper in the city that
took the trouble to let the people know that a
Fair was being held, and to publish a list of the
articles on exhibition.
We would recommend to the officers of the
next annual Fair, to adopt as a rule, that no gen
tleman having any article on exhibition, be ap
pointed on the Committee to judge of the merits
of others. By adopting this rule they will re
move much complaint we have heard expressed
of the appointments of the Committees at the
recent Fair.
THE COTTON EXHIBITION.
There were about 200 bales of cotton on exhi
bition, but we learn the quality and staple, was
not as good as that of last year. We understand
premiums were awarded the following gentle
men lor the best bales of Cotton :
T. J. Smith, Hancock county, the best
twenty bales Upland Cotton. $20.00
T. J. Smith, Hancock county, best ten
bales Upland Cotton. 15.00
W. W. Stone, Columbia county, best
five bales Upland Cotton. 10.00
A. Pope, Sen., Wilkes county, best one
bale Upland Cotton. 5.00
We did not learn that any Sea Island Cotton
was on exhibition.
The Recent Robbeiy on the Georgia
Railroad.
, We understand from a gentleman who came
down last evening on the cars, that the pocket
book of Col. Berrien, containing his papefs, some
drafts, and a five dollar North Carolina Bank
Bill, was found near the Railroad, about two
miles above Berzelia. It contained also about
one thousand dollars, mostly in Georgia Railroad
bills, which the rogue no doubt extracted and
i then threw the pocket book aw?y. In all pioba
-1 bility he got out at Berzelia, on the arrival of the
1 cars at that station, and we hope this circum
stance may lead to his detection.
Amusements.
After the dull and melancholy season through
which our city has recently passed, amusements
of various descriptions are offered to our citizens,
i Last week we had the Theatrical and Circus
' Companies, which were visited by crowded au
diencies.
This week we are to be favored with the cel
, ebrated Magicians Tichenoi and Professor Wy
-1 man. The former holds forth at Masonic Hall,
and opened last evening to a respectable audi
ence. This Company is under the management
, of Mr. Norris, well known to our citizens as
i the first manager of the Campbell Minstrels.
| Prof. Tichenor is clever in his perfoimances,
k and Master Peel has improved much in his
, Dancing since his former visit to this city. The
. Hall was well filled, and take the performance
■ as a whole it went off. well, and seemed to give
j general satisfaction. They give another enter
tainment this evening.
f Prof. Wyman opens this evening at Concert
> Hall. He is so well known to our citizens as a
ventriloquist and magacian, that no doubt Con
! cert Hall will be crowded.
Last, the smallest and /east, in the shape of
: two Ladies and one gentleman, hold their levees,
afternoon and evening, in the small room of Ma
l sonic Hall. The curious should pay them a visit,
for it is not often a married lady 33 years old, 35
J inches high, and the mother of three children,
", and a single young lady 18 years old and only
j seven feet high , are to be seen together. Accompa
nying these Ladies is Gen. A. Gifford, 25 years
old and forty inches in height. Whether the
General depends on his size or age for their pro
tection, we are not informed.

The President’s Message—Opinions of the !
Press.
This document seems to have given universal
satisfaction to the American people. On no
former occasion have the encomiums of the pub
lic press, upon an Executive Message, been more
general and decided. Its tone so manly, yet so
temperate, its republican sentiments and simple
yet dignified style, not less than its lucid exposi
tion of the affairs of the country, foreign and do
mestic, have all contributed to win the approba
tion ofthe just and magnanimous, even of his op
ponents, and to silence the spirit of cavil among
the narrow minded and malicious.
We select the following notice from the Na
tional Intelligencer, one of the most uncompromi
sing, yet dignified opponents of the President
and his policy :
The President’s Message. —The Annual
Message of the President of the United States,
sent to Congress yesterday, is spread before our
readers in this day’s paper.
Although the Message of the President is sel
dom able to convey to the public the knowledge
of any thing absolutely new, it is always antici
pated with interest, not only as an authentic
exposition of “ the state of the Union,” but as
making known the views of the Executive as
to the policy which should shape the course of
the Government in regard to public affairs in
general, and of prominent questions of foreign or
domestic concern in particular.
Respecting the Message of yesterday, we are
gratified to find that all which wa3 predicted of
its unexceptionable character has been substan
tially verified. It is certainly distinguished by
moderation of tone and a freedom from all exci
ting ad captandum appeals. It is an unambitious
and perspicuous account of public affairs, an
nouncing an unprecedented state of prosperity
and progress at home and of peace and amity in
our relations abroad. It totally disappoints all
those who hoped' or expected to find in it any
inflammatory appeals about Spain or any ‘ Young
America” doctrines of progress and manifest
destiny, whether looking to acquisitions on the
Mexican Gulf or in the illimitable Pacific. In
deed, had it not been for the god-send of our ex
ploit at Greytoum, of which the President cer
tainly makes the most, he would seem to have
been embarrassed for any stirring topic for the
head of “ foreign affairs.” Happy for the coun
try that this is so ! It is a new thing, and cer
tainly a subject of congratulation, to find the
Message of a Democratic President so tree from
appeals to the passions of the country, so simple,
clear, and unostentatious in its exposition of the
administrative concerns ofthe Government, and
so commendable for the justness of sentiment
touching international rights and duties with
which the Message opens.
These are the first impressions of a hurried
perusal of the Message. A more careful inspec
tion of it may suggest other views, which we
may deem worthy to be submitted to our readers.
“X,” the intelligent correspondent of the Bal
timore Sun thus compliments the Message. He
gives, in the following brief sentences, the im
pression made on every impartial mind at Wash
ington, and throughout the country :
The President’s Message is one of the ablest
and most statesmanlike productions ever sent
to Congress. It is a complete mirror of the po
litical, financial and moral condition ot the coun
try, and will be read with interest and profit
here and abroad. It gives striking evidence of
the industry, honesty, and ability with which
every department of the Government has been
conducted, arid furnishes a practical refutation of
the many impromptu charges brought against the
administration by the fashion of the times.
The bitter enemies of the President are sadly
disappointed that they have so little room to
find fault.

The First Election in Kansas —We an
nounced in our last issue that Gen. J. W. Whit
field, the slavery candidate, had been elected de
legate to Congress from Kansas, over Robert P.
Flenniken, Esq., the candidate of the free soilers.
The following are some of the returns:
Whitfield. Flenniken.
Douglas City 234 ti
Laurence City ...30 maj.
Shawnee Agency 49 13
Fourth district 131 maj.
Three precincts, not named 450
One precinct, named ....130 23
We learn fuither, by telegraph, that Whitfield
was some seven hundred votes ahead of Flenni
ken north of the Kansas river, and that he was
certainly elected by a large majority. The elec
tion did not pass off as quietly as could have been
desired. A disturbance occurred at the polls at
Kansas City in which a man named Davis, from
Missouri, was wounded and died within an hour.
A man was also kited at the polls in the town
of Boston.
Salt. —Some of the salt blocks at Syracuse,
Saliua, Geddes and Liverpool, N. Y., have sus
pended operations for the season. The Syracuse
Star says the rest will stop in the course of a
fortnight. The past season has been very favor
able for evaporating and large quantities of solar
salt await purchasers, Solar salt, $1 75; fine
$1 38.
■Native Oranges. —The orange trees in Ala
bama, which were nearly destroyed by the se
vere winter of 1851, have since thrown up vigor
ous sprouts from the old roots, and some of the
young trees are now loaded with fruit.
The New York Chamber of Commerce has
resolved, unanimously, to memorialize Congress,
asking it to send a vessel to search for Dr. Kane
who went in charge ot the Grinnell expedition
to search lor the remains of Sir John Franklin.
Serious apprehensions are now being entertained
for his safety. He was expected home before
this time, but no traces of him or his party have
been.had,and it is feared they met the fate of the
distinguised navigator of whom they went in
search. A liberal subscription will bejmade in
New York to facilitate the benevolent enter
prise.
The Richmond Enquirer of Wednesday states
that the Convention of Internal Improvement
Companies organized on Tues Jay in the Capitol
with Col. Edmund Fontaine in the Chair. A

action of the Convention ; and then, after some
other preliminary business, the Convention ad

is a revision ot the tariff of tolls.

Tribute of Respect.
Whereas, in this degenerate age, those faith
ful followers of our Blessed Saviour, who, moved
by the heavenly dame of charity, have renounced
the world and all earthly connections to give
themselves devotedly to God, and to labor as his
good Providence may direct, for the well-being
of their brethren, command our highest rever
ence, gratitude and respect. And whereas, when
affliction came upon us from the chastising hand
of our just, hut merciful Father, we are instinct
ively impelled, while we sympathise with our
fellow-sufferers, to appreciate and pay homage to
that Christian heroism which, forgetful of self,
generously sacrifices life, and all' things earthly,
to the relief and salvation of our brethren. And
whilst iu the silent sorrow of our hearts we
grieve over the many lately deceased friends and
relatives of this city and Savannah, duty, grati
tude, admiration and homage to departed worth,
demand in particular the public expression of our
intense grief for the loss of our beloved Bishop
the Right Rev. Dr. Gartland, who gave up his
life for his flock; whose virtues are recorded
above, and require not our detail. A manifesta
tion of our highest admiration of that Apostolic
Prelate, Bishop Barron, who died a victim of
charity for the afflicted. Sentiments of our grat
itude to the Holy Sisters of our Lady of Mercy,
Monica and Stanislaus, who renounced all
earthly sweets that they might indulge the
sweeter pleasure of doing good. The former
having taught the children of our poor, died in
our midst. The latter, like her sainted name
sake and patron, having lived much in few' years,
died in the Convent of Savannah, both in the
ardor of their first fervor.
Be it therefore Resolved , That we, the members
of the Cathcrtic Congregation of the Church of
the Holy Trinity, in the city of Augusta. Ga.,
do hereby express the deep sorrow of our afflicted
hearts for the ol our beloved and Apostolic
Prelate; that we will embalm his remembrance
in our souls; offer for him our daily supplication,
and teach our dear little ones to lisp his praise
and imitate his virtues.
Resolved, That we will revere the heroism of I
the Fervent Bishop Barron, and labor to imbibe j
that celestial flame which consumed the Holo
caust of his earthly ties.
# Resolved , That we will honor the precious
memory of these Holy Virgins who. having filled
the lamps of their souls with the oil of their daily
good works, have gone to meet their heavenly
spouse, the bridegroom of their love. Be it also
Resolved, That we will unite with our brethren 1
in Savannah, in raising contributions to erect
appropriate monuments to those departed Chris
tian heroes, in the Catholic Cemeteiy of that city,
where their mortal remains lie grouped, whilst
their immortal parts, we indulge the hope, are
grouped before the throne of God, in Heaven,
enjoying the fruits of their victories over sin,
death and hell.
Resolved , That these, our proceedings, be pub
lished in the W. S. Catholic Miscellany and the
papers of this city.

Chairman.

Away with thoughts of sadness, lovo,
I will bo gay to-night!
I would awhile indulge the hopes,
To morrow's sun will blight.
Oh ! once again, our favorite songs
Together let us s'ng,
And thus forget the wailing strain,
To-morrow’s sun will bring.
Away with thoughts of sadness, love!
I must be gay to-night.
u.
Alas! ’tisvain! we who have loved
So long and well must part!
Tho smile has faded from my cheek
The gladness from my heart.
And since at this, our sad farewell,
For months, perchance, for years,
We cannot join in blitbsome lay,
Oh ! let us mingle tears!
Away with thoughts of gladness, lovo,
For I must weep to-night.
