Various Matters.
Important ,,ro1cct.-The correspon-
ding Secretary Of the New York Colo
nization Society, has received letter
from the Rev. r. S. Finley, agent OF
the State Colonization Society Of Mis-
sissippi, dated Natchez, Feb. %, 1887,
informing him that the societies iii the
states of Mississippi and Louisiana, have
each resolved to establish a colony on
the coast of Afric5,. and that each soci-
ETY. viii expend twenty thousand
year for five years, in sustaining them
that the Mississippi Society has alrea-
dy purchased suitable territory for
their object, and it is supposed that
purchase has also been made for the
Louisiana Society. Mr.. Finley men
tons we shave nearly secured the sum
Of $40, 900 for the first year, in the Mis-
| sissippi Society, and are confident OF
raising the same sum in Louisiana, as
the enterprise is popular in both states. F"
Our readers will recollect that we
stated few days ago, that MIR. Steven
son; Minister to Great Britain had
written letter home, in which, with a
proper sense of dignity and decorum,
| and q highly honorable and patriotic
feeling, he had repeilsd the charge OF
hei,io concerned I'M writing against the
Bank of the United States, and distur-
bing the public confidence abroad, Ill
our chartered institutions. This letter,
which we thought would have been
hailed by every man, in the country,
has, strange I'd say, subjected Mr.: Ste
veison to an attack from the Official
Government Journal The Giobs Of
Yesterday contains an article on this
subject, in which the letter ia Signals
ed as an ofIicious and unnecessary al
fair, and Mr.. Stevenson himself hall in
simulated to be ''tool of the bank =
Such is the re ward q public man, act
ing as an honorable patriot, obtains from
a party tress-sand such is the return
the friends Of the Administration re
ceive when they dare to act without
reference to party allegiance!

An amusing eclogus HIS just begun
between the Enquirer, at Richmond,
and the official paper in this city, on the
subject of the different opinions which
they entertain concerning the merits
of our Minister IN London. The
Globe, as Our readers already know, has
charged MIR. STEVENSON with leagu-
ing With sBank rufiansj" as Senator
BENToN calls them Tor something Of
that sotD in Lendon. The Enquirer
(edited BY the Ministers bosom friend)
goes so far as to say eve have read
Nth deep regret the structures OF the
Globe Upon our Minister to England"
How CUTTING that remark mist be to
the Globular concUrn They will hard
| ly survive the shock of it. Bit, pur-
suing tile strain, the Enquirer solemn
ly adds, 'iThese collisions afe of the
most UNPLEASANT character to us in the
whole circle of Our social relations"
Only think of that 1t is not pleasant
to hear ores dearest friends grossly
vilifed; and such things arc apt to dis
turb "our social relations p One sees,
by the Use of such strong terms, that
the Enquirer is in earnest. If there
were any doubt of its determination at
| all hasar,ds to rescue the reputation of
| Its friend from the rough assault upon
| it, tile stern tones in which, id conclu-
sion; it inyokes the tender mercy Of the
Globe, would remove all doubt upon
the stibiect. eve appeal (says the
Enquirer) to the justice Of the Globe
to the liberality ofits Editor--and,may
we not add; to the kind feelings which
once bound him to Andrew Stevenson,
to FoRBEAR his structures"
We shall see how the Globe retorts
such scorching and whitening rebuke
from its powerful contemporary and
ally.-.NationG hteHigencer.
.american Enterprise.-The N. Y.
Express, in introducing to the notice Of
their readers some circumstances con-
nected with the recent failures at New
Orleans, makes the following reniarks
in relation to the fortitude, philosophy,
and enterprise Of the mercantile COM
munity in this country:
! 'If the merchants Of this country
were not race Of dEN high courage,
great honor, and unexampled fortitude,
the tremendous shocks they experience
every now and then would make the
whole community tremble: The Gov
eminent strikes at them, but they only
bend before the storm, mighty as it is
s. the day after the blow they are erect
again, & as firm as q rock. The Govern
