dolph of Virginia called dough Faces" While quite
large portion Of the people of Virginia and Kentucky
are exeTtng influence to abolish slavery in those
States, il sad and sorrowfu that many Of the wings
and democrats of the North will give their support in fa
vor of the extension Ct slavery What can the men of
either party at the North think who lend their influence
in favor Of slavery are they willing to become slaves
themselves and If the South have had every thing
their own way for the last 40 so years. not suf.
Gent and is not lime for the honest OF both pot>
cal parties at the North, now, not another time but
NOW, TO take decided stand to stop the further ex,
tension of slavery. af
Ifyou will not go for the overthrow Of the system. we
appeal to you by every claim of justice, of honor of

Honest men, wake up, do not be misled by leaders

FRANCE.
France was tranquil under the rule OF General
Cavaignac, but not content. Another struggle
was probable. Distress and bankruptcy were
almost universal, and no signs OF improvement
were manifest. The Assembly was still discuss
ing the proposed constitution. The right to uni
versal education was earnestly contended for.
Goblet, the Communist leader, had applied to
government for permission to transport himself
and his followers to Texas. Gen. Duvivier died
on the night of the Sth, of his wounds.
Gen. Cavaignac had declared that the siege oil
Paris should not be raised until tranquility was
perfectly assured.
Arrests Of parties supposed to be implicated
in the disturbances OF the 23d and 22th OF June
were taking place daily. The number of prison
ers already in power of the government was said
to amount to 10000 or ID 900. The Executive
was much perplexed to know what to do with
them.
Gen. Duvvier is the sixth general who has
died from the effects oil wounds, received during
the Instruction
All the intelligence from France tends to pro.
duce the belief that the Government is about to
be merged in Military Despotism. 1t was ac-
knowledged by walI inForrrrvu Frenchmen that
this would pave the wa y for Regency, and it
was expected that Theirs, Odon Barrot and
ot"oie' "oulu suoTtiy DC cdlleQ 10 assist In his
council
1t was generally believed that Lamartine, and
others OF the late Executive Government, were
Implicated in the recent instruction.
ENGLAND. Her Majesty will not visit Ire
land this year.
The Chartist trials were proceeding. Joseph
Russell was found guilty. Vernon, the lecturer,
Williams, "a bakery and Sharpe, "a painter,)
were all found guilty.
Lord Brougham had made speech in Parlia-
ment, in which he advocated the suppression of
the Irish Clubs
IRELAND. The Irish repeal association has
pronounced against the clubs, and decided that
the reply to the circular from the clubs proposing
union should only promise to unite in legal and
constitutional resistance.
SPAIN. The town of Ripoli, in Catalonia, has
been taken by the insurgents under Cabrara.
Narvaez has declared that Spain will prefer
war to making an apology for the expulsion of
Mr. Bulwer.
ITALY. The siege of Verona was to com
mence on the 18th of July. An engagement was
expected in few days, between Radetsky and
the Sandman forces. 1t was feared that King
Charles Albert would be beaten In that case.
French Intervention would be solicited.

The Rumors ofPeace.

The latest, respecting these rumors, will
be found under the head, "from Washing
ton" Nothing certain seems TO be known
by the public, and about all that is said is
mere guessing.
Gen. Scott has no authority to treat, nor
has Mr. Trist-the President having revoked
his authority. There is no one in Mexico
from the United Suites to treat, provided
Mexico wished to do so.
And on the other hand TIE Mexican Gov
eminent is so shattered that there is no prop
er authority 10 treat The acting President
cannot treat, and Congress is not in session.
The General opinion is, however, that Gen,
Scott has certain terms from some sort of
Mexican Commissioners, 20 which Mexico
might agree,a that they have been forward
ed TO Washington.
The administration, accounts say are dis
pleased with Mr. Tris;-for the reason that
ne has tarred in Mexico after the revocation
of his powers, and sought, with Gen. Scott
some propositions ofpeace 1t is further
more pretty generally believed at Washing
ton that the Polk Administration do not want
peace, that they rather want to overrun and
subdDe all Mexico.

Terrible Steamboat Disaster!

THIRTY FIVE LIVES LOST.

The steamboat Ealabusha. Capt. Scott,
loaded with cotton,on her trip from Red Riv-
er TO this city, on Tuesday night last, was
burned TO the waters edge, by which terrible
disaster at least thirty five lives were lost.
To gentleman, one ofthe surviving passen-
gers, we are nainly indebted for the follow
ing particulars the heart reGding scene:
About quarter past O'Clock, on Tuesday
night, when the majority of the passengers,
numbering about one hundred in all, incu-
ding the deck passengers, had retired, the a.
farm OF fire was giyen-the boat was then in
the middle of the stream, and opposite the
plantation of Mr. V. Chopin, about Is miles
below DonaIdsonvilc. All were instantly IL
reused, and us the doors of the ladies' cabin
were thrown open, the dense volume Of
smoke rushing aft from the CLERKS office,
near where the fire originated, almost pro-
duced sutfocRtion.
The boat was Immediately rounded 10 and
headed to the shore, and as she struck the
bank general rush was made for the land
ing, many persons being drowned in their at
Temps to get on shore. As she reached the
shore, MIR %. T.. Knowltop, of Doualdsonville,
and two other passengers, whose names we
nave not heard, with great presence of mind,
selZed The end ofthe cable, and leaping on
shore made II fast 10 tree on the bank, in
order to hold the boat in her position-but,
through the culpab!e negligence of those on
board, whose duty it was TO attend 10 such
matters, the cable was not made fast on board
and tile boat consequently swung out into
the stream again, the engines still going, and
in a few seconds was beyond the reach of
those on shore, The boat afterwards dritied
down stream about two miles where striking
the shore, she was made fast.
Judge Mills, of Texas, lost child about
four years of age and one servant. The
Judge having his wife and two children on
board, he look child in each hand, and IN
Ieaping overheard received n blow on one
arm from falling timber, causing him 10 re-
lax his hold on one of the children which
was lost. Mrs. Mills leaped overheard with
her husband, aud was saved by the efforts of
Major Iancy of Natcllitochcs. Mr. johnson,
one of the passenges, lost three children and
one grandchild-all supposed to be burned.
MIR A. NJ. Alexander, formerly of Kentucky,
lost two clildren-both girls; himself ond
wife were saved by swimming ashore. A
brother of Mr. Alexander aud his wife. and
DIR. John ID. Wall, of Harrison county, Tex.
as, and bis wife were saved by swimming n
shore. The Rev. Mr. Page, Episcopal min
