it to the “ Opposition party’’ and authorizing,
too. Democrats, who strayed off from their par-
ty in 1855 after Americanism, honorably to re
turn to their "first love” if they like. Under
*11 these circumstances, then, will we not be
doing wrong to give up the fight in this District,
and thus weaken our gallant friends in the 3d,
who have a larger majority than we to over
come. Nay more, arc wc not doing wrong to
our party generally, and will we not be retard
ing its growth, to withhold from the Democratic
Americans of the 7th District, at this propitious
time, an opportunity of re-uniting and battling
again with their old associates and friends ? I
think wc shall be. If only 138 of them return
to their “first love,” we can whip the light sin
gle handed! May wo not now hope for 500,
since now they con honorably return to us?
Away, then, with the ideik of the heretofore
"uuterrified” Democracy of the 7th District
fleeing from a contest with, or succumbing to a
disjointed, discontented, quarrelsome, disunited,
crumbling party—one tliat lias been shirking
its principles and changing its name ever since
its first defeat, and that has now even abandon
ed its organization and resolved itself into an
“opposition” party, or a party of “odds and
ends,” without any principles wliatev./l Away
then, with the idea of “backing out” from a
fight with such a parly, merely because its lead
ers in the heyday of prosperity, beat us by only
the pitiful number of 275* votes among 10,000
veters.
_ Why, Messrs. Editors, if there was ever a
time for the Democracy of the 7tli District to
firmly grasp and raise high its banner and press
on to victory, now is the day and now is the
hour! Starting out right at first, with a good
and glorious old nninc, and sound and whole
some principles, it has not changed i.'r name,
nor docs it shrink from avowing and maintain
ing its rame old principles! Its banner stands
ns it did in 1855 and 1857. It floats still proud
ly, unaltercil, all over the State, one and the
same, while that of the other party has been as
suming various phases, until now it has been
crumbled upland tlieir organization is aban
doned ! Is this the time, then, while the enemy
is scattered, and when the “harvest is ripe,” for
the soldiers of Democracy to supinely fold their
arms, and say in effect “ire give up! we can't
Jight!! we are afraiel tee will he whipped!!!
Is this the time lor us to look to the "Opposi
tion ” for our officers ! I think not Is the De
mocracy of tho 7tli so poor, that it has within
its raqks none worthy of being a Congressman ?
IV here .is the noble and talented Wingfield ?
Where is the gifted and meritorious Harper?—
where that sterling and uuterrified Democrat T.
I*. Safl'old? or that old and talented veteran CoL
Campbell? Why, Messrs. Editors, you have
also in your midst, ami near your office, a young
and able and intrepid Democrat (I- II. liriscoc)
one not yet much known in the District but
who, if he would take tho field and go out
among the people, would fraxzel the Goliath of
tho "Opposition" to doll rags! Wc then have
a plenty of our own that could make good offi
cers, without selecting any of the enemy. Then
let us pass the word and again prqutrc for fight
Let us select our strongest and best man, and
raise up high the good old Democratic banner!
And having done this, let us urge our “prodig
als" who strayed off in 1855 and 1857, to turn
and look upon their old flag and see if they do
not find there the same stars and stripes—the
same “principles” and “watch words” that they
once before fought under. And let us invite
them, as brethren, to return to their “first love,”
and take shelter again under their “old and
true home;” nnd as one of old assures them he
will receive them with open aims, and a cheer
ing welcome! Let us do this and all will be
well! Hut if wo should cower and succumb,
and suffer ourselves to be the tools to elevate to
high place the leaders of this “Odds and Ends”
party, I shall feel that we will merit the con
demnation of every true Democrat in the land,
and I do earnestly protest against the policy !

Correspondence of the London Star.
Paris, May 25.
A^Fruitlcss Attempt to Cross the Po.
A despatch from the Emperor, received yes
terday at the Tullcries, announced that at five
o'clock in the morning the whole French ar
my (140,000 men,) headed by his Majesty
himself, as commanding the centre, Baraguay
d’Hillicrs the right wing, and MacMahon the
left, was to make ono vast determined effort to
cross the Po, near Valcnza. The day was
passed in the greatest and most natural anxi-
ot,, •* u,° differem minister)es, an anxiety re
flected on the Bonrsc, in spite of the deter
mined efforts made to keep the suspense a
profound secret, and affecting the funds with
out any apparent reason excepting to the ini
tiated. At ten o’clock last night another des
patch arrived, merely containing a few words
not indicative of success: "The cannon is still
roaring, and nothing yet is done; the enemy
has appeared in snen tremendous force on the
opposite bank, that every effort hitherto made
to construct our bridges has been useless.—
This despatch has not been made public yet,
nor will .it be, most likely, until some decided
success is obtained and tlio landing is effected.
To the general opinion expressed by civilians
that the army must cross the Po, nnd that if
it does not succeed in doing so to-day it sure
ly will to-morrow, military men shake their
beads and look grave, aud hint that if the
French be repulsed now, tbc attempt must be
given up. for tbc Austrians will, of coarse, he
re-inforccd, and repair tho lo*oe» they may
sustain, while the French liave not the same
means at their disposal. The fact of a whole
day, from five in the morning till ten at night,
being spent in fruitless endeavors to cross a
swollen and rapid river under the heavy fire
of the enemy’s artillery, tells its own talc, nnd

Expenses or the War to France.
The expenses of the war are already cnor- I
mous, nnd few Frenchmen have any concep
tion of them. Independently of the money
spent in Franco on the increased army anil
navy, tho purchase of provisions and stores,-
besides their conveyance to Italy, the recon
struction of the materiel, making new equip
ments, baying horses, railway fares, and al
most an infinity of other items of cost, there
arc sent daily from Marseilles 3,000,000 francs
in specie, or £120,000. This makcs£43,000,-
000 annually. It is not likely that the expor
tation of money to this amount can last; but
if it should wc shall scarcely err in estimating
the cost of the war at £80,000,000 a year. If
we remember that for every 59 francs the
State receives on loan it has to incur a debt of
100 francs, it would make the real expendi
ture £135,000,000 a year; for France cannot
pay the expense of war out of the ordinary re
ceipts of taxation.
Tha demand fix’merchant shipping appears
to be upon the increase Orders have been re
ceived to frieght at Marseilles 26,500 tons
monthly. Of this ueqrly 20.000 tons will be
required for the conveyance of hay alone, for
only a common screw press is employed to
compress tlic hay, the authorities regarding
the hydraulic press as being too intricate, and
the hay consequently takes up an enormous
quantity of space The remaining G,500 tons
arc required for oats, Hoar and other stores.
mending what they were about? "The ene
my,” responded the infuriated Turcos, point
ing eagerly to the Piedmontese soldiers drawn
up in a line upon the quay of Genoa. _ It was
quite difficult to dissuade them of this idea,
and to prevent them from taking by assault a
city which awaited them with open arms and
with mountains of bouquets. After they were
landed, they went in search of supplies, but
presently issued from the shops in a state of
great excitement, asking of their officers—
"What means this ?—not speak French, not
speak Arabic! what devils, to be sure. It
is clear enough, that they think the world wes
made only for French and Arabs. A new sur
prise awaits them when they come to see and
hear the Croats.
Sonnet!,.
Of all the charms dear woman wears.
Of a1) her many traps and snares.
For real effect there'* nought compares
With a truly pretty bonnet;
For when or wherever yon chanco to meet
One that is perfectly modest snd neat.
Yon may depend 'tia proof complete
That the head has more in than on it.
No matter whether she’s pretty or not.
How much or how little money she’s got.
Whether she lire la a mansion or oot,
'Tis a fact, depend upon it;
The woman to make* man happy thro' file,
To make a model mother and wile.
Is one who, scorning the milliner strife.
Wears a plain and tasteful bonnet.
Now a bonuet of genuine beauty and grace, _
Worn on the head in its proper place.
Shadowing faintly the wearer's face,
“Is a thing for a song or a sonnet.”
Uut one of those gay and gandy things.
Made of rainliows and butterfly wings,
A mixture of flowers, ribbons and striugs.
Is dreadful, depend upon it.
A vulgar mass of “fuss and feather,"
A little of everything thrown together,
As if by a touch of windy weather,
A wretched conglomeration—
A sort of cup to oatc b the hair,
Leaving the bead to ' go It bare,”
A striking example of “Nothing to Wear,”
la this bonnet abomination.
It makes a woman braxen and bold.
Assist* her in catching nothing but cold.
Is bad on the young, absurd on the old.
And deforms what It ought to deck;
For look at her face, no bonnet is there.
See at the side, it hangs by a hair.
View it behied, and yon will declare
That the creatnre has broken her neck.
No matter where yon may chance to be,
N» matter how many women yon see,
A promiscuous crowd oc a certain she.
You may fully depend upon it,
That a gem c f Ihc very rarest kind,
A thing most difficult to find,
A pet for which we long have pined,
Is a perfect “love of a bonnet."
The Coolie Trade of Cuba.

to the Coolie trade of that Island:

Coolies shipped for Havana from Asiatic ports,
according to the record I have kept since the
beginning of the enterprise, now amount to 45,-
328, of which 33,447 have been delivered alive,
and, G.935 died on the passage. The trade is
now pnjttv generally distributed between Eng

In crossing Mont Cenis, when tlio French
soldiers, yielding to the influence of alternate

one of them, belonging to the 55th of the

had had a sack upon his back when he crea

“Speaking of the army pay, it is not amiss to
mention that the allowance for the keep of
French soldiers is six cents for two meals a day.
Some of-our friends seem to think that these
gallant feUows are fed on pate de foie gras—or,
at any rate, that the barrack cooking is quite
artistic and delicious. Now the fact is simply
this: French soldiers in garrison, have, every
day of their lives, two basins of soup, with the
strings in it, which they call meat, and perhaps
a few bits of onion or vegetable, by way of giv
en it a flavor. Besides this, each man has a
11 pounds of coarse bread—nothing more.—
When on service, they have a little wine; but
otherwise, except on grand , occasions, such as
a review, they have none, nor any spirits, beer
or coffee.
News from Frazer stiver.
The latest intelligence from Britisli Colum
bia is very discouraging. The “Canoe dig
gings,” from which great things are expected,
have turned out a failure, and the men who
left for there are back to Victoria, disheartened
and disappointed The number of miners re
turning to California is very large. It looks as
if the population of tlio new colonies would be
rcUuaed ir. a few months to less than one thou
sand, exclusive of Indians. The prospect of
the countiy never looked more gloomy.
Innovations in lllodern Warfare.
Louis Napoleon is charged with slavishly
copying the military precedents of bis uncle.
Wv think that he will show, before he arrives
at the end of his first campagne, that he is not
without some military genius of his own. Two
acts which he has just performed indicate, we
think, the independence of his judgment in
military matters. He has sent back the woun
ded Austrians without exacting the usual pa
role, and he has punished two French grena
diers for forcibly, helping themselves in a wino
shop, by simply dismissing them from the
ranks, with tho observation that no heavier
penalty could be inflicted upon them than their
being deprived of the opportunity of sharing
in the glories of the campaign.
There is practical military foresight as well
as humanity in these acts. The Emperor re
lieves himself of the burden attending the sup
port of large numbers of Austrian prisoners,
and he scuds them back to convey to their
comrades, who are of mixed aud disaffected
nationalities, an impression of his humanity
and generosity. In this way he advances the
objects of the campaign infinitely more than
if he were to cucumber Sardinian and French
prisons with crowds of poor wounded wretch
cs, the support of whom would be a heavy
drain upon his resources. It is to be hoped
that the example thus set will have the effect
of inducing on both sides the relaxation of all
thcseqseless practices of the military code,
the retention of which in an age like this is as
unnecessary os it is cruel.
The introduction of moral punishments in
the army has {long found advocates. They
have been partially tried in time of peace. It
has been reserved for Lonis Napoleon to make
the experiment in the face of the cpeiny—a
test wliich no military reformer has hitherto
ventured upon. In the armies of Wellington,
an offence sucli as these grenadiers commit
ted would have been visited with the lash, and
perhaps even death. We believe it will be
found that the punishment inflicted in the
present c;ise will prove as effective iu enfor
cing discipline. The soldier is, after ail, a
sensitive being, and disgrace is felt more keen
ly by him than bodily pain. If he be not pos
sessed of this honorable susceptibility the
sooner lie is w<>cded out from the ranks of his
comrades the better. In trusting, therefore,
to moral influences rather than to severity for
the maintenance of military order, the Empe
ror is making an experiment, the result of
wliich will be watched with interest by the
friends of humanity. He seems, iu fact, to
independent theories whieii have rendered his
political system self-sustaining and obedient
to his control.—Herald.

As to the treatment of the Coolies -on our
estates, it is said to be kind; indeed, the law
expressly forbids any cruel punishment being
inflicted upon them. But their tenure of life
is very frail Debilitated by the long and im
moderate use of opium, their constitutions break
down on the first exposure, and render them
peculiarly liable to any epidemic that may be
prevailing. The opium is brought in small
quantities, the better to evade the revenue laws,
and distributed by Chinese agents of the Eu
ropean speculators. But the evil docs not stop
with the demoralization of the Coolie. The
African race quickly learn the use and become
the slave of the enervating narcotic, the evil
effect of which is already daily seen on every
plantation where the two races have lieen do
mesticated together.

How the Indians Make Whiskey.—The
Apache Indians have a mode of making whis
key which would appear novel to the manu
facturers of that article in the Ohio Valley
The firing up process is rather slow« yet theoo
Apaches seem to get liquor which makes a
good "drank” come. The process, according
to a correspondent of tbc Arizionian, is as fol
lows :
The corn is first soaked for twenty-four
hours, a hole is then dug in the ground, gen
erally in a wigwam, and some dry grass laid
on the bottom ;.on this grass the corn is plac
ed and a layer of gross over it. Four or fivo
times a day warm water is sprinkled over the
corn, and at night the family sleep on it to in
crease the warmth, and make tbc corn sprout
quick. At the end of four or five days the
corn is all sprouted ; it is then dried and poun
ded fine, put in a kettle, and boiled for five
hours; when cooled it is mixed with sugarand
flour and left to ferment for twelve hours,
when it is ready for drinking. Although not
rank to the taste, or fiery, its intoxicating power
is very great, aud when an Indiau has a quart
or two aboard he don’t care a copper who is

light. AU
Prof Wilbur adopts tbc theory that at one
time—very far hack in its history—this vast
country formed a portion of the bottom of the
ocean—that through the eruptions caused by
the unnatural heat, together with the labor and
activity of those master-masons, tho coral in
sects, our continent was raised to its present po
sition above tho water. To prove this bold
proposition, he Tolers to the many indicia of
salt water presence, the frequent occurrence of
shells which legitimately only belong to ani
mals of the sea—the evidence furnished by the
rocks, of the labor of zoophytes, unmistakable
in its development; the frequent discovery of
tlio remain8 of monsters of the goa, deeply im
bedded in our limestone system, the existence
upon our system of huge boulders,- the former
appanages of polar shores, drifted far away to
the southwest imbedded in huge frames of ice,
and drowned down at length upon tho ocean's
bed, whence they arose with our continent—
The arguments, if not quite conclusive, are em
inently suggestive, ami.should open the eyes of
thinking men to the wondrous mysteries bur
ied deep in the earth upon which wc so famil
iarly tread.
The existence of our prairies is accounted for
in this wise. The result of the “ drift system’’
was to give to this part of the country a soil of
unparalleled fertility; and arising from thin,
were the very long grasses which are peculiar
to this soil alone; luxuriant and undisturbed,
they grew to a great height, and Curly wove
tiie surface of the earth with a thick, almost
impenetrable covering. In the autumn, when
this mass of combustible matter was dry, how
easy for a shaft of lightning to send a confla
gration from or-o boundary of the country to
the other. The sprouting twigs of sturdier
growth would pensh by the frequent occur
rence of these fires, and hence the treeless ap
pearance of the West. To aid the idea, it is
claimed, that the Indians, when they did arrive,
wliich is suppose d to have been long subsequent
to the first period mentioned, regularly burned
the prairie grassA, for the purpose of driving
the game into more circumscribed quarters, so
that it might fall an easier prey to their arrows,
and to lessen the difficulty of travelling.—We

boats Burned.—At 2 o'clock Wednesday
morning, a fire broke out on board the steam

which soon spread to the Gazelle, and both

was no freight on board of cither boat. The
Endeavor was partially insured, having $l,4UO
