A writer on this subject, in the Charles.
ton Mercury Of the 1st inst, after review
ing the various projects on foot to connect
the Atlantic seaboard with the Mississippi
and Pacific seaboard, by railroad, speaks of
the plan, TO which We have already twice
alluded in our columns, Of completing the
line Of road between Georgia and Jackson,
Miss. He says:
ats central direction in a mild latitude,
splitting the finest cotton region in the world
must attract capitalists to this road. Many
Of the links in the chain have already been
surveyed and connected,and that from Vicks.
burg to Jackson is not only completed but
in most profitable operation"
The cilizens of Natchez and Concordia
have projected railroad from Vadalia to
Alexandria. Thus far the line is already
drawn. 1t will be easy, then, to extend il
through Middle Texas, which is already
we'll settled, and in the further prosecution
of the road, the plan proposed by Mr.. Whit
ney in his memorial 10 Congress may be iu-
diciOusly applied. The writer in the Mer
curry says Of this great Southern railroad:
"By it the whole current Of the India
trade may be made TO set to and across the
American continent. Even England would
find it the shortest and cheapest route to the
East via the mouth of the Mississippi anC
Vidalia to California. The estimated dis,
lance from Charleston to Mazathan at the
foot of the Gulf of California is but 1900
miles; of this there is already completed
and in project 465 mies-leavine but / SO;
miles Of railway necessary 10 connect th,

it will cross at right ans les the Alabama =
The Missssippi-the Red RiVer-the Col

but of that of the world"

ArrRrHENprp Rrvo1UrloN IN FRANcr

APPREHENDED REVOLUTION IN FRANCE.
We learn from the N. Y. Sun of the 18th
inst, that letters of stirring character
have been received in that city by mum.
Der of French refugees, who had taken re-
fuge in this country, calling upon them to
return to Europe with all possible despatch,
and be prepared to join their friends in
France at an early day. The close alliance
between England and Louis Philippe is
creating excitement all over France, and
the journals arc assailing Guzot for sur.
rendering the interests ard honors of France
to the hands Of the English.
According to the Suns speculations, Louis
Philippe, wishing to have his dynasty sus.
tanned in power 10 case Of his death, has
induced England ito enter into a secret
treaty 10 do so, provided the Prince de Join
vile does not assume the crown Of the Re.
geney. The English, bearing in mind his
pamphlet, wherein be proposes to put dowr
the English navy, and knowing the energ,
of his character, are apprehensiVe that j
occasion offers be will get up party to sus
tain his pFetensions England has agreed
that France shall have some additional pos
sessions (which England will seize II cas-
of war % the West India Islands, in sOutl

Of The Sun for what they are worth.-lb.

OF The Washington Union Of the 18th
inst, commenting upon the intelligence
from Mexico brought by the Joaquina and
published by US on the 9th, makes some sig>
ni6cant hints as TO what the course of the
United States Government should be in
case Mr.. SIdell is refused hearing in be-
half Of American claims. The Union also
alludes TO the report that negotiations are
on foot TO change the Mexican Republic
into Constitutional Monarchy-the King
TO be French Prince. The official organ
does not deny the truth OF this surmise,
though the dispatches from Mexico are
silent respecting it. The Union closes by
saying, "Mexico is in a state of transition,
and it becomes the United States to keep
watch and ward over her revolutions. as
well as the maintenance of our own rigts.'
When this paragraph was penhed the com.
plete success of Paredes' revolution was not
known in Washington City. We app,ehend
that the triumph Of that chieflain, and the
subsequent refusal Of the Government to
hold intercourse with Mr.. Slidell, will be
deemed good grounds for resort to the
" more decided measures" of which the
Union speaks. The basis of the recent rev.
olution was hostility to the United States.

or The times, especially in the news
world, are pretty duIl.-Although Congress
and our State Legislature are now in session,
there is nothing Of much interest transpir>
ing in either. The Oregon question seems
TO excite the most attention in Congress at
present. No final action has as yet been
had upon it, but judging from all The lights
before US, we doubt not the perPlexed ques.
ton will yet be settled by negotiations. Mr..
Calhoun having declared for an amicable
adjustment Of the matter, his powerful in>
tellect, and mighty influence with the demo
crazy, will materially assist in carrying his
resolutions through. The proposition for
giving immediate notice 10 Great Britain of
the termination Of the joint occupancy seems
TO meet-with the appreciation Of Northern
and Western democrats, which is attributed
by many to abolition influence. And it is
bought that Hon. John @. Adams express
cd himself in the manner he did and took
the stand he now occupies, only TO carry out
some abolition project. That John Quincy
Adams is al abolitonist and warm one too,
we know, but we consider him a man OF
too much sound sense, he has too much of
the American statesman about him, to allow
any private views or prejudices TO influence
him when he comes to act upon any great
National question, question which involves
the peace, the quiet and the welfare Of the
whole republic, at least he is too much Of a
patriot and has TOO much the feelings Of
man in bis nature, TO be engaged in any
such scheme as that unfolded in the speech
Of Mr.. Gddings Of Ohio, scheme as base
as the black heart in whose pollution it was
eDgendered. The war fever seems to have
considerably subsided-and notwihstand~
ing the clustering Of some few interested
demagogues, who seem determined, by their
inlammalOry speeches, to create war ex.
citement among the people and consequent
disturbance and ruin in our financial con-
Germs, to their own private aggrandizement,
we are fully confident that the settlement
of the question will be finally left to nego-
tiations.
The Tariff question is standing in statue
quo. Mr.. Walker is recovering from the
severe castigatiOn which he received from
Mr.. Stewart, and preparing his forces for
last attack upon what has been styled BY
his adherents the "bloOdy, black tariff of
1872" God grant that he may be unsuc>
cessful, though to confess the truth, we
think matters are very doubtful upon that
matter, as VIC learn that Bob Walkor will
have a majority in Congress; even should
the whole Pennsylvania delegation be op.
posed to him.
