The Worid publishes the toliowrttg sett : from its own correspondent: Rahib, February 14, 1866. When the astute rebel commissioner Slidell first went to Paris he took with him his ac complished wile and beautiful daughters, lie well knew he services which these fair women could render to the cause of Dayis, aud good use did iic make of their influence. He in stalled them in a magnificent apartment in the Übttinp.i iUyeees, bought handsome equip ag s for ihorn, and gave them cane blanche at Madame Rogers’, the dress-maker dt la mode. , while the mo liste de i’einperatrice was request ed to make their chapeaux, and Felix was their coiffeur. Dinner parties and receptions be came 'he order of the day at the rebel “em bassy,” as it was called by Slidell and Eutis, aud soon the seceeh became ali the rage in Paris. Those prominent membeis of the Pa risian press who were obdurate when gold was offered them, melted beneath the ardent glances oi the fair indies in question, and at grand dmuere or petit* aoupers promised alle giance to a cause which could produce auch fair, such entrancing advocates. In the Fauburg Saint Germain, even, these people were admitted, because they were pol ished. were agreeable, and gave in turn for dinners and parties offered them such grand entertainments, “Le Salon Slidell ” became one of the favorite rendezvous of the beau monde ot Faria, and at one ot their balmasque* both the Emperor and Empress were present, in domino it is true, but they were unmistak ably there. All this Was intensely flattering to the Slidell ladid% and the cause of Davis went up, in stock parlance, away above par, and the people in Paris talked openly of re cognition and of the glorious, future* of the “Confederacy ” A German baron, a capitalist and a good, fellow, Emile Erhlanger, managed just at this time te obtain a divorce from hia wife, nee Mdlle. Lafittc, and he at once threw himself bodily and with determination among the nu merous admirers of Mias Slidell. He soon distanced them all—he is a banker and a mil lionaire, and Papa Slidell scented in an aili» Buce with ihis nabob the successful negotia tion of Confederate loans and what not So h ; ‘i consent was given, and as Erhlanger ob tained tb>‘ beautiful rebel, be opened his purse strings end the commissioner of Davis waxed itill more prosperous. VV“» .ire assured that in every hou»e there is a skeleton, that to every mmlai -here is a revorso, and ,*ho case o: the secern envoy furnished no ex emption to this general rule. Slidell had one an noyanee to put up with ; found himself snubbed by at least one important personage in Paris. Bluff, brusque Prince Napoleon, the son of Jerome, was this individual, and strenous were ths efforts made by Slidell to overcome the disinclination evinced by the cousin ot the Emperor to receive, or in any meaner recogDizo, the secesh people, who were creating such a sensation All the deep laid pla.-s of the rebel failed, however, and at last Prinoe Napoleon was given up as a hopeless case. The secesh reasoned that, after all, this did not matter much,, as the interest ot the Prince wisa »t really great, lie nail, it is true, one popular organ, I/Opinion Nationalc, which na< over true to tho cause of the I nited states, but against its influence the rebels had the Consti tutionnol, the Patrie, and at times, the official organ of the French empire, the Moniteur, anu wbul need they care for Plon Plon and his news paper ? Lately, Minister Billaut, Private Secretary Mooquarri, aud other friends of Socessia, have de ceased in Franco, and persevering Prince Napo leon became so powerful that his cousin, the Em peror, was lain to ceaso all contest with him, and granting him influence join issue with him. So Plon Plon was appointed Chief of the Privy Council of trae.ef, and has become tuo Great Powor i» the Empire next to the thr ie. In honor of this now dignity, th# Prince lately threw open the reception room# of the Palais Royal, a time honored building in Paris, closed s.uce the death of K.ng Jerome, and gave therein a magnificent ball, the marked features of which was that “Confederates” were excluded therefrom. All Paris has resounded with this fact, and already Secessia is at a discount in that capital of fashion, where the last risen to power nr* the mou archs of the hour. Wo shall woou he.tr that tuo i, UM mondr has followed the example set by Prince Napoleon, aud ere many months Secessia wm oe at a discount.

[From the Washington Chronicle.] fHS INAUGURATION BALL. VW are authorized by the eommitteo of management to say, that there is no truth in the story which has beeu circulated,that tick ets to the inauguration ball have been sold to colored persons. The ball is a private affair, in which the parties concerned have a perfect right to invite whom they please, and *o ex clude whom they please, irrespective of color. No modest aud right thinking colored manor woman would desire to obtiude him or her self ipon a company, ninety-nine io a hun dred of which would repel the association; anu none others are entitled to cousideratiou. the story, therefore, if not fabricated with a view to injure the success of the bali, may at auy rate be dismissed as idle and frivo lous. And has it come to this ? Has the blood of thousands of freemen spilt oa Southern soil brought no better fruitage then this contempt for “our colored brethien” from the author of the emancipation proclamation? Must Africa lift up her hands in vain when they .are no longer manacled, but contain instead a ten dollar greenback? Are the black hands which we trust with the bayonet unfit to he clothed with white kid ? Aro the black women for whom the North toils and travails unfit to carry aboquet? Shal] they with whom we are soon to ahare the ballot not be our part ner* in the mazy dance ? In thewery capital of a very regenerated people shall this insult •be put upon the beings who w« have disen thralled ? Alongside the edict copied above, the court journal publishes a dissertation ou Social Equality, with Theodore Tilton's speech as its text. Says Forney: . “What could be more cruel and unjust than to require virtuous and refined ladle* and gen tlemen to associate with mean or vulgar peo ple? Or what mor* refilled cruelty emu be ithngiued than that of compelling people to associate with those ter whom they hare no affinity, no liking, perhaps * posit,iva&veraiou. The mere statement of these proposition* fur nishes their demonstration, tor are self evident.” In behalf ot Tilton himself, that upholder ot the great doctrine of aruaigaiaatiou, who sincerely oelieves tnat a black man is as good as a white man; in behalf of Thaddeus Ste vens, that pioneer of miscegenation, who be lieves m all sincerity ‘hat a black woman ie as good as a white* woman, if not better; in behalf of every outraged Abolitionist, we pro test against the shameful attempt by Mr. Lin coln to keep the negroes away from the* inau guration bali, arid of Mr. Forney to deceitfully defend their social exclusion behind Such a faithful Abolitionist and miscegenator as Tilton. “Refined cruelty,’' quoth? It is “ refined cruelty. ” is it, to compel people to “ associate ” with those for whom they have, “ perhaps, a positive aversion ? ’ Benjamin F. Butler has beeb tilled “ cruel ” by many foul mouthed people, but it was reserved for Forney to call him “ refined " —him \thom the Tribune and all the saints of the Administra tion lauded because he “ compelled ” the white people of Norfolk to send their children to “ associate ” at schooi with “ negroes ” for whom they hud, “ perhaps in the case, a very “ positive aversion ! Reboii, forsooth, may be compelled as * puuish njont, to associate .with the negro, but it is refined cruelty to ask of republicans that they suffer the ioval American of African descent to come between the band and their r, biiity at au inauguration ball! What*? by locks are these friends of the yU yo • “l will buv with you," ori«a tbe Jew ot Y enioe, “sell with you, talk with you, walk with you, ami so following: but I will not eat with yoq, drink with you, or pray with you.” One would say this very passage was in the writer's mind when the fallowing lines were penned for Forneys' Daily Chronicle: “White people may associate for the purpose of religious worship, or for any purpose ot amuse munt or instruction, to the entire exclusion of black, yellow or red people, and the iaw will pro tect them in it, for it is a uaturul right." But rfhylock was open aud consistent in his hate and scorn; and these people at Washington aud the shame of hyprocrisy to their bitter intolerance. 1 They aro those who rejoiced over the admission of a negro to the Supreme Court bar whom now they will°not suffer to darken the doors of the Whi»e House. These aro ihey wha have forced the association of commissioned negroes upon the brave white ! officers of too Union, perilling life in its behalf, but now repel their favorites into the company of hack drivers and boot blacks.

Who can deny that the Confederate Government has mado every honorabl c effort to secure peace ? Before the war cornice,' oed, Commissioners went to Washington City for the purpose of avoiding, if pos sible, the effusion of blood. They were deceived and dismissed. The tocsin of ‘.vir was then soun ded, and the blood rod tide >,f battle commenced to flow over our land. The clash of arms resounded along the borders, apd battles were lost and victo ries gam and. Our worthy Vice-President sought an opportunity to consult with the giant War Spirit of the North, with g view to a cessation of hostilities : but he was repulsed, aud returned once more to his native land and to his post of duty. Still the war raged in all its fury: the cruel ene my swept through our country, devastating and burning as he passed along. Churches burned, homesteads despoiled, wmnen and chtMraa insulted and turned out {of doors to freeze and to starve This was the sad picture which was presented in the trrok of the advancing foe. Another effort was made to secure pesue. Co-u mission ers were appointed to visit the President of the United States. End to ns certain upon what terms he would consent to peace. These Oomsiissioners were sent back, with the in sulting nssura ;cc that when the Southern people would unconditionally submit to .fie yoke of the Union, peace would be vouchsaisd to them. “The war that for a space did fi.il. Now, trebly thundering swell’d the gale and again the enemy set forth on his mission of death and destruction. But the Conlederate Gov ernment learning that there was soma prospect that a military convention would be sicceotable to th<' Sheoiy, authorized Gen. Leo to consult with the F tl> red General cn that subject. Gen. Grant re plied that he was not authorized to accodo to the proposed conference, and so the subject wae drop ped. It w II thus bo seen that tho South, fighting only for its just rights, asking nothing of the North hut to be let ~loue, has seized every opportunity to proffer terms of peace to her enemies; but, alas! only to be spurned and insulted at every offer. What, then, is to bo done? Must we bow the neck and bend the knee ?—submit to oppression and insult ?—become the hewers of wood and drawers of water for a cruel and relenties# foe? No !we can not do this—we can take no step backward—we must, in the language of a distinguished orator, “On with the Revolution 1”’ Oh ! how we regret to write it! how we have wished that the efforts of our best and wisest might result in securing for us a glorious and a lasting peace ? But we have been sadly disappointed: and when wo aro asked what is now the prospect? we can only answer that there is no alternative but war or submission for us—no middle ground—no honorable compromise to stay the fratricidal strife. Is this the high resolve of the Southern people ? Are thej determined to win their independence? The result is, under Divine Provi dence, with them. They can work out their own destiny: and if they will it they can be free- If we do not end the bloody strife successfully r to our cause, on children may, one day. have to exclaim with-Rhoderick Dhu : “These fer fi j n nlaina that ' n ere once th*' birthright o f ths Gael; The stmnsror **itb iron band, Ana rrom our fathers rest tho land Where iwelitwe now ?

No; we hare begun the war, and it is the part of duty, of right, of Justice, that we should end it—and so end it, aa to transmit to our posterity a land freed from the yoke ot ‘he tyrant, and a peace secure from the interruption of a cruel and heartless foe. To dolthis we have much to contend with, much to suffer, much to sacrifice; but submitting, suffering, sacrificing, will at length bring victory to our arms, peace and independence to our land. — Pacificator. Thk Draft is New Orleans. —We clip the following from a letter from New Orleans to the Cincinnati Commercial; As one of the city papers fitly says, ever since Farragut appeared before her and sum moned her to surrender, New Orleans has held her way in quietness and peace, knowing only of the war from rumor and the essened num ber of barrels on her wharves. While, by se cession, she helped lay heavy burdens on other men’s shoulders, she has not touched them with on J of her fingers. There had accumu lated her#, by consequence, many men who feared the draft at home, and it was high time they should be made.to fulfill their obligations. The threats ot the draft seem to have excited but a smile of contempt: but now. when it has progressed steadily for three days, filling each day two columns and a half of the papers with the names of the drafted, it begins to be looked upon as a reality—as much so as the Asiatic cholera.

I take advantage of the departure of a sail ing vessel to forward you intelligence to toe latest date from this place. The matter which possesses the most inter est to Northerners in connection with Nassau is the contraband trade rurffed on with the Southern States. This trade has now received a mortal blow, and will soon be buried among the things of the past, beyond the hope of resurrection. There may be a few convulsive struggles giving the appearance of reviving strength ; bat they will be really the death throes. Even such spasmodic evidence oflife are uot likely to occur. Appearance indicates, that its present coinstose condition will con tinue until death intervene. It will die with out a struggle, of pure exhaustion, for, de prived of nourishment, it is now in the last stages of starvation. Un the 6th ot February one steamer, the I ox, arrived from Charleston, and cn the 9th the Druid arrived. We bare had nothing from Dixie since. After the new3 of the cap lure of Fort Fisher a number of steamers made has f e to get their cargoes into Charles ton before that port should share the fa e of Wilmington. Anchors were weighed and away they sailed, gracefully ar.d gallantly, cleaving the blue waters and rapidly losing themselves, until the last faint outline on the horizon fade-: from the sight. What was to be their destiny? A few days told the story. One by one back they came, Peeing from the wrath of the avenger—the Secret, the Dream, the Florence, the Caroline, the Chameleon (formerly Tallahassee), the Virginia, the Han sa, the Owl—and never slacked their speed until they anchored within the protecting wa ters of British harbors. The Owl, command ed by Capt. Maffit, formerly of the Florida, had administered to her a dose of Yankee pills, which took effect and operated upon her. She returned with several of her men badly wounded. The Deer started for Charleston on the 13th, and t.be Syren for the same port on the 15th.

Napoleon, fs, Sherman and Lincoln. In reading the life of that truly grelt man, Napoleon I, no one can fail to be deeply im pressed with the world-wide contrast between the humanity, the magnanimity aDd the sur- i passing generosity of the noble Frenchman, 1 and the contemptible littleness find fiendish barbarity and cruelty of Sherman and his narrow-souled Yankee master of the White House! On the eve of his grand expedition in Egypt one of his was to issue a proclama tion against the t)’ rrann * ca i edict of the Di rectory against emigrants. Tp the military commission at Toulon, he thuS gave his hu mane charge : “I expect you,” said he, “when the law presents at your tribunal old men and females, to declare that in the midst of war, Frenchmen respect the aged and the females,, even of their enemies. The soldier who signs a sentence against one incapable of bearing arms, is a coward.” This noble act was hailed by the na tion, and the Directory were compelled to pocket the insult. Thus was human ity enthroned over outrage, and the honor of the nation rescued from an eternal stigma. Even in the construction of his most am bitious designs, humanity had its controlling power over every impulse The promotion of the arts, the enlightenment of the popular mind, the extension of commerce, and the ele vation of human society, were always with him prominent objects. To desolate countries and exterminate populations, was that from which his soul revolted. For woman he had the most chivalrous regard and veneration. A Wretcu.— The Sumter (S. C.)

(Give us his name.) It was then too late, and no doubt the enemies of his country fell heirs to his ba6on. All this, says ! the Watchman, is humiliating, and should not fee repeated. Those who have surplus provisions should shay them with their less fortunate neigh • • hors, for who knows how soon tho whole of it soay , be swept away by the ruthless foe? * Shoddy Rampakt.—A correspondent of the | New Y'ork Yankee journals, telegraphs from i Washington, on la'st Wednesday night, the follow ing : The largest party ever given in Washington, i come off to-night at the private residence of Cbarte* Knapp, contractor for heavy cannon.

He is reported to have said, “Gentlemen, you may pass what law? you please about distillation, but as sure as my same is Bed ford Forrest, I’ll break up every distillery, author ized or unauthorized, that I can find, and hang every that runs one.” The English Hocse of Lords. —The English House of Peers at present consists of one prince, two royal dnkes, three archbishops, twen'y-four dukes, thirty-one marquise*, one huc-ired and fifty eight earls, thirty-one viscount;, twenty -eight bishops and one hundred and fif'y eight barons.
