GEN. CAvAIGNAc. Some of the croakers
appear to derive comfort from calling him "sole
Dictator OF France" That is not the title given
him by the National Assembly. They, exer.
clsing the prerogatyes of the sovereign people,
appointed him {" President OF the Council''-the
usual title Of the French Ministry-with power
to form Ministry according to his own iudg.
ment. This is no more than is customarily done
by tise sovereign, when summoning an indiyid-
ual to the Presidency OF the Council. It's true.
Cavaignac has other powers, temporarily. but #
Is only while Paris remains in a state of siege.
He did not seek them, but they were urged upon
MN. ne rendered his resignation, after the
suppression of the instruction: but il was not
accepted. The character OF Cavaignac is guar
anty against any ambitious project. A gentle
man VINO mas seen and conversed with him tells
US mat ne is remarkable for his republican sim
Picity, cool and selt.possessed under all circum-
stances OF easy manners and address, rather
shgnt pulit' with tnge OF melancholy on his
countenance; that he has the confidence of all
VINO know him, and that If he cannot be trusted.

that paper as follows:
WAsHIN TON, July 20.-There is some diff
Guilty about the Compromise Bill now, and it is
understood that Mr.. Calhoun feels disposed to
bolt. Four of the Committee have been in con-
clave till this moment-half past o'clock.
Mr. Calhoun found flaw in the paragraph re-

Whether the laws OF that Legislature shall re-

the next Legislature shall have the power to re-

Gov. JONES. This slavehodIng emissary.
sent out from Tennessee to instil Taylorism into
the North, said in speech at Carthage, Ohio,
July 8:
81 have compassion on those who honestly diff
Ter from me, but scorn the demagogues who
oppose Gen. Taylor on the ground of his being
stakeholder. The question of slavery is no de-
batable question in this issue. We won't bring
it in.''
Most wonderful compassion % he exhibits for
the free sentiment of the North, provided we are
willing 10 go for Gen. Taylor and say nothing
about the great question of the age-not bring
slavery into the issue. This is Taylorsm- it
seeks to lead the Free States, mute and blind
folded, to bow down before the great IDOL. the
South have set up, without why or where
lore, except that Old Zach is the only slave
holder that can be elected !" Therefore we
must not allude to the idea of spreading the curse
OF chains and bondage over the Mexican do
mains, because ssavery is no debatable question
in this issue" Let the people spurn all afiIia-
ton with Taylorism.

THE RETURFED VOLUNTEERS

We have already given an account of The passage

ment of Volunteers on their return from Mexico and of
their miserable and wretched condition They were
taken 10 Brighton near what is called the Cambridge
Crossing" of the rail road where they were encamped
Thousands and tens of thousands of people of Boston
and the country about, visited them at the place of en-
campment. We happened 10 be in Boston on Thursday
and Friday, when their condition and sufferngs we're
the almost only subject Of public conversation We un<
deFstood that the complaints of the men against their o
hcers we're very general and the public opinion seemed
to be that they were well founded. OF Gen. Gushing

as Illustrative oil his arbitrary and yrannical disposition

as they had been brues destitute of all the attributes
OF humanity.
On Saturday, pursuant to previous arrangements
there was public reception of the volunteers in Boston
and an entertainment was given them at Faneui Hall
Only about two hundred of them were able to attend
Taking into consideration the state of feeling manifested
by the volunteers toward Gen. Cushing we did NOT be-

seemed determined to speak but the volunteers seemed
as determined that he should be heard; and though
ne spoke Tor many minutes, his remarks we're scarcely
audible TO those who occupied around him on the
roslrum. Occasionally, ear could catch a broken
sentence, and once, when he had supposed the storm

the CITY of Mexico

The u. S. steamship New Orleans, Cap: Ed

ra Cruz, having sailed thence on Wednesday, the
Sd inst. The ship made good passage both going
and coming.
Gen. Scott and suit left the city Of Mexico on
the 22d ult. and arrived at Vera Cruz on Sunday,
the 3Oh. He Immediately embarked on The brig
Petersoerg for New York, under the salute from
Fort Conception. He was waited upon by the
commander of the fleet and received salute from
the flag ship Cumberland. On Monday, the lst
inst, the st. Petersberg was towed to sea by the
propeller Thompson. In passing the store ship
Relief and frigate Cumberland their rigging was
manned and three cheers given for the old hero.-
On the Sd inst, the general exchanged visits with
Com. Perry and was saluted by the flag ship
Cumberland.
Among the passengers on the New Orleans,
were Gen. Pillow and staff Gen. Towson, Gen.
Gushing and staff Col. Belknap, Col. Childs, Col.
Duncan, Col. Withers, and large number Of Of

So desperate at one time was thought the chance
of bringing together quorum of Congress, that
the President had determined TO exclude the States
of New Mexico, Chihuahua and Yucatan in esti-
mating the representation, that smaller num-
Der may constitute quorum. Subsequent events
led him to believe that quorum could be obtain

HON. W. S. OLDHAM,

To-day we announce the Hon. w. S. OLDHAM
of Washington county. as q candidate TO fill the
vacancy in the U. S. Senate, occasioned by the
death Of the lamented Ashley. 1t were surper-
fluous to spread out the claims, merits, and abili-
ties of Judge Oldham; they are well known to the
whole democratic party. He comes before the
people of Arkan, as the only candidate from
an extensive region of country, that is, and has
been for long time unrepresented. A section
most popuous and most democratic of any other
part of the State. Settled by population, indus
trious and enterpriSing, whose prosperity and in
terest demand the guardian care and guiding hand
of legislation of both State and National. They
have become lively sensitive on the subject of be.
ing debarred SO much from a share in the repre-
sentaton in the halls Of Congress, and now come
forward in earnest appeal to their fellow citizens
throughout the State.
Judge Oldham has been selected by the cti-
zens of several counties to submit his name as a
support in this, and we hope, in all parts of the
State.
The Judge has adopted the usages ofthe citizens
of Mississippi, by throwing out his appointments,
with the intention of visiting every county that
he can before the election. But in this he is not
alone. Col. Hampstead has also informed the peo-
pie tina. he will visit as many counties as he can
before the election.
This pan is by means Objectionable, the
election of Senator turns, at least should depend
upon the wishes Of the people. They have no i'm
mediate voice in his election-their only power
is through their representatives in The Legislature.
We therefore hope the candidates will visit the
people, and that the people will instruct their rep
resentatives on the subject. The right of in
struciors is democratic, and the voice of the peo
pie should be heard in all elections.
