The /" Nashville Union of the 18th, in the fol-
lgking part of an editorial article, misquotes and
misfepresens the National Intellgencer:
ave call upon the Wing people of Tennessee examine
carefully this last exposition of Wing principles. 1t pro-
posed Inform Mexico that the Wings will, Mr.
Folks expires, if they succeed in electng Wing
President only Mexico for all the expenses
of the war but possible, for all the wrongs which she has
sustained at our hands
ssThe foregoing appears as communication in the Intel
gence but being fully endorsed by the editors of that
per- is thus officially proclaimed the sentiment of the
Wing party"
In the first place. the " Union" nlisgatotcS the
Communication which it undertakes to quote by in
sorting the words " for all the wrongs" instead Of
the true reading, for the losses and wrongs" a
variation which, as every one must see, essentially
alters the sense of the writer.
In the second place, the " Union" misrepreSents
The National Htefgencer in saying that the Com
munication in question was "fuly endorsed by the
Editors of that paper" No such endorsement, nor
any endorsement, except of the responsibility OF the
writer, was made by the Editors On the contrary
it was given their opinion that in uttering this
sentiment the writer had "sgnalized his courage"
by which remark dissent to it on our part was, to
certain extent, certainly implied We expressed,
besides, doubt whether the country were prepared
for the course which our correspondent proposed.
And, thirdly, the National Intelligencer not only
does not pretend to, but constantly disclaims, any
official" authority, even such as party assent can
give The Editors of this paper, when they speak
upon public affairs, express their own sentiments
only Too happy to find the Wings generally con-
curing in their views, they protest against the
Wings being held in any manner responsible for
them, whether now, heretofore or in time TO come.

FROM THE SuNIoN. "


We learn that the battalion of volunteers, under
the command Of Lieutenant Colonel HUGHEs, raised
mainly from the District of Columbia and State of
Maryland, are under orders for immediate Transport
tatlon 10 the active seat of war. 1t is intended that
Colonel III. shall open the road from Vera Cruz to
Jalapa, and to occupy that important town for the
purpose of securing Gen. SCOTS line of operation.
With this view the battalion will be greatly increased.
AT least one company will be taken from Carlisle,
Pennsylvania; and another Gifts organization should
be speedily completely from Wilmington, Delaware;
besides battery of field artillery from Baltimore.
Other independent companies may, perhaps, be
added to it as iastas they ready. The addition
of a squadron of mounted men would be very de-
srabe-thus forming, in fact, corps of what is
called in European armies, eclaireurs," admirably
adapted to guerilla warfare; but we understand
that there is some practical difficulty apprehended
in the transportation of horses at this season of the
year, for so long voyage, which may prevent such
an organization. As it is, it will form beautiful
and we doubt not, most efficient command, well
calculated TO do good service. In the organization
of this force, the President has, from the beginning,
taken deep and almost paternal interest, and has
evinced disposition to render ii as useful as pos
sible and now shows his continued interest and
confidence in the battalion, by assigning to it most
distinguished and honored duty.
We understand that, of the six companies now
at Fort McIienry, four will be shipped for Vera
Cruz on the 22d instant, and the others as soon
thereafter as possible.

. FROM BUENos AYREs.

A letter dated at Buenos Ayres on the 18th May
says:
ave have now the pleasure of ing YOU that
prospect has opened for termination OF our po-
itical difficulties in the arrival of the Penipoen-
tiaries of England and France, Lord HowDEN and
Count WALEsKI. They yesterday had an inter-
view with the Minister Of Foreign Affairs, and in
few days more we may be able TO speak with some
certainty on what, at present, is matter OF doubt
" Lord Howden has stated that definite ar
rangement just and satisfactory all parties, must
depend upon his meeting with the same irankness
and good faith which he intends to show; and Count
Waleski, that any arrangement TO be sanctioned by
him must be digne et conUsR0JS.
This is so far as England and France are con-
cerned but the position assumed lauery by Bra
zil has come to damp considerably our hopes of
peace and quiemess. unless general settlement of
all pending differences should be the result OF the
present conferences"

OPINION ABROAD.

The Foreign Correspondent of the Boston Atlas
remarks, in his Letter from Paris, under date Of
the first of the present month, that the subject of
War between the United States and Mexico is per-
haps better understood in Europe than here at
home, where, he says, the flush of victory and
: honest pride in our brave army's achievements
: prevent our taking dispassionate view of it,"
That there is much force in this remark must
be admitted by all who have observed the apathy
and apparent indifference with which successive
inroaH upon the Constitution, under cover of this
War, are looked upon even by considerable classes
of men, whose shrewdness and forecast in the
management of their own affairs might have in
duced the expectation OF more wide-awake atten-
ton to what has been going on in the Government
during the last two years. 1t is marvel to us
how these classes, such as the great Manufactur-
ers, the extensive Importers, the Ship-owners, the
Agricultural interests in some entire regons-we
do not mean generally, but to certain extent-can
act, as they do, though there were no future be-
fore them, nor any care but the casual profits and
transient enoyments of the present day. Would
that we could partake of their complacent selfse-
our minds at seeing the wise institutions and yet
wiser maxims of the trainers of our Government
continually treated with contempt and ill-disguised
derision!
| How much more sagaciously do enlightened
statesmen in other lands regard this war, who con.
slider it as possibly the death-wound to our political
system, which has been for sixty years the objec
Of their admiration and respect! 1t is true,
apprehend, that, as the Correspondent of the Atlas
remarks, the War S better understood in the coun.
tries of Europe than it is by many men in our own
country. The press, at least in Paris, understands
it much better, and is more alive to its possible
consequences, than large portion Of the press Of
the United States. In proof Of which we need
only for the present cite to readers the language
of leading literary and political journal of Paris
II is the Revue DIES Deur blondes, that, in its last
number, declares its opinion that the War q"
fatal stroke under which the admirable Constitl.
ton Of 1889 will pelhaps yet fall. The CHIEF
Magistrate which JEFFERSON, MADISON, and HAM.
ILToN pictured to themselves after The model Of
their illusrious Child, grave and calm as the law
itself, will change INTO conquering cavalry Off
Ger, watching from his headquarters the people he
has subdued. That army of six thousand men
which defended The frontiers of country ten
times the size of France, must be increased to
hundred Thousand. The expenditures the War
Department will be enormous; military customs
will take root. 1t is bad omen for the unlimited
liberty which he American citizens enjoy, as well
for their financial system, hitherto admirably
economical"

REGULATION OF LABoR.-The Legislature of
New Hampshire, at their late session, passed ten
hour labor bill; probably in imitation Of the British
Parliament, or because they thought Ten hours
enough. So half pound of beef and two large
potatoes are enough for mans dinner, but II does
not follow that eating would be better regulated if
the Legislature should make so much a lawful din
ner. The Legislature Of New Hampshire is free
trade Legislature, and live great ways north, in
the Old Granite State. Yet, in our judgment, a
free citizen Of that State who has mind 10 work
fifteen hours out Of the twenty-four has right to
do so and the Legislature would do much better
to let him do as he likes and would be much bet
ter employed at hoeing corn themselves than in
erecting folly into the shape Of law-Jour. o. Com.
