LATER FROM FRANCE.
lRY TELEGRAPH.] |

Latest advices from Paris state that the
election returns, from the sections as well as
from the departments, continue to be most
satisfactory to those who desire to see the
moderate party, represented in the provisional
government by M. Lrmartine, prevail. In
almost every arrondissement4in Paris M. La
MARITIME and the moderate party in the gov-
ernmcnt head the lists, and throughout the
departments the comniissaries of NJ. Ledru
Rolln arc at great discount
The intelligence had produced very SEN
sible Improvement in the money market. 1t
was rePrted that NJ. Albert had gone over
from Rollins to Lamartne,s rarty in the Cab
met, and that NJ. I.edru Itollin was only wait
ing for the meeting Of the National Assembly
to resign his post as Minister, without waiting
for dismissal.
On Wednesday NJ. Richard Rush, the
Minister fthe United States in Paris, waited
on M. Larnartine, at the Hotel de Vile, and
formally recognized the French Republic in
the name OF the American Union.
The French army now comprises $4,000
men, and has greatly increased since the re-
volution. III the provinces great discomfort
prevails and the schemes OF the ultrus to over
throw the government still caused apprehen-
sion in Paris.
a plot to blow up the Hotel do Vile, and
to make the Republic more democratic than
is mcdtated by the Provisional Government,
has been detected, and judicial inquiry is
now in progress into the alleged conspiracy,
which, it is said, will compromise some per-
sons in high station. The National Guards
would doubtless preserve order, should any
such horrible schemes be anticipated.
PRUSSIA.
The accounts from Prussia, says the Euro
pean Times, aIe very unsatisfactory. The
people have on confidence in their King, who
remains at portsdam, surrounded by the men
whose comrades fell brayeiy but ingloriousy.
His Majesty hopes to regain their confidence,
and trusts that they will stand by him in
case Of need. But, according to latest intel
ligence, this will not be in their power.
We are told-"The people are nearly om-
nipoient now; and at a public meeting held
on the 18th, they drew up an address pray
ing, @ the King to order his guards to march
to Holstein. 1t is scarcely necessary to OBJ
serve that the object Of the people, who dis
trust both King and guards, is to deprive the
former Of the support Of the household troops,
and thus leave the sovereign and city more
completely at their mercy"

GEN. SCOTT.

The authorities Of the city Of N. York
are making extensive preparations, with
the liberality which usually marks such
their proceedings, to receive Gen. ScoTT
on his expected arrival in TINT city. The
Gencrul, however, considering himself
under executive displeasure. and that tho
allowance Of manifestations Of popular
fuvor under such circumstances is i'm
proper and impolitic, has given out
that he wishes TO avoid them and will
discourage their display. The General
seems to have forgotten that the people Of
the United States are disposed on all oc-
casions to shew that they are tho sover-
eign people,-in fine, his majesty,--and
that JAMES K. Polk is simply the Presi-
dent, the chief executive officer of his
majesty. The General will find it diff
cult to avoid the evidences Of popular To-
vor, wherever he may go. He is known
as tho hero Of Lundy's Lime and of the
city Of Mexico, and needs no passing,
momentury splendors TO mark deeds en-
rolled on the pages of history. His name
and fame have travelled over tho groan.
ing globo as leader Of republican might.
and the success in war Of republican
generals and soldiers may have assisted
10 kindle the present flame Of republican
contest in Europe.

CAMDEN BRANCH RAIL ROAD.
The Columbia Telegraph of the 18th
contains an article in regard 10 the. esti-
mates and cost Of construction Of the
Camden Branch rail road, from which
we gather The gratifying information that
that road is building and will be built with
in the original estimates, and that it is
possible to build rail roads within the es-
timates, even in South Carolina. And
reasonable estimates are considered, when
mention is made of them, such as would
be presented and acted on In other
States.
This fact bears will, importance oItl,e
scheme Of the Wilmington and Manches.
ter rail road, and there seems TO be no
good reason to fear that that road cannot
be constructed within the proposed esti.
mates. In fact the question on this mat.
ter seems now to be set at rest by. the let,
ter published in our last number, shelving
that the road can be constructed within
the estimates.
A late number Of the Telegraph in.
forms us that n convention will be held at
Salisbury, N. c., on the 9th of June, to
consider the extension of the DanviIle
rail road from that place in Virginia 10
Charlotte, N. c., 10 meet the Columbia
road. Our friends of the Manchester
road and Of tho town of Wilmington
must be wide awake. if they intend 10
build their road. Rivals arc in the field,
and haste must be made. Yet look well
before you make such leap. If nude
at all, it must be made soon.

Mr.. Fllmore's Reply.
ALBANY, IN. W June II, 1s4s.

ALBANY, Wv. H. June ~, 1915.
Sir: have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your letter ofthe 10th inst,
by which | am notified that at the late Wing
Convention held at Philadelphia. General
Zachary Taylor was nominated for Presi-
dent and myself for Vice President, and re.
questing my acceptance of the nomination.
The honor of being thus presented by the
distinguished representatives of the Wing
party of the Union for the second office in
the gift of the people-an honor as unex-
pected as 1t was unsolicited, could not fail to
awaken in grealful heart emotions which
while they cannot be suppressed find no
appropriate language for u,,erance.
Fully persuaded that the cause in which
we are enlisted is the cause of our country;
that our chief object is to secure its peace,
preserve its honor, and advance its prospect.
ty and feeling, moreover, confident assu-
rance that, in Gen. Taylor, (whose name is
presented for the first oflice,) shall always
find firm and consistent wing, safe guide,
and an honest man, cannot hesitate to as
sumo any position which my friends may
assign me.
Distrusting, as well may, my ability to
discharge satisfactorily the duties of tina,
high office, but feeling that, in case of my
election, | may with safety repose upon the
friendly aid of my fellow Wings, and that
efforts guided by honest intentions will al.
ways be charitably judged,.I accept the nom-
nation so generously rendered; and do
this the more cheerfully, as am willing, for
such cause and with such man, to take
my chances of success or defeat as the cleo.
tors, the final arbiters of our fate, shall, in
their wisdom Judge best for the interests OF
our common country.
Please accept the assurance of my high
regard and esteem, and permit me TO sub.
scribe myselfyour friend and fellow citizen

cause | am laid under lasting obligations TO
that honest, noble hearted man, and would
gladly correct some of the gross mistakes
that are now afloat concerning his charac-
ter
In politics. General Taylor is Whg-in
religion, strictly orth0dor-but in neither is
he extreme, maintaining his well formed
opinions with the calm decision which he
manifested on the field of battle.
With regard to slavery, and extension of
territory assure you that neither for
slave market moi any other object was Gen.
Taylor in favor of conquest and annexa-
ton. He was not in favor of receiving
Texas into our Union, nor in favor of the
recent war with Mexico. The only evidence
of his being in favor of slavery, that ] ever
saw or heard of, was the fact that he did
what every man at the South must do, if he
would have servants, viz: either own or hire
slaves. do well remember that part at
least of the colored people living in his fam
lily could read well and were very pious. |
never heard word from the General in ia.
vor of the slave system, but on The contrary
his decided preference for the institutions
and customs of the North.
1t is a pity that Gen. Taylor should be
made out a pro-slavery man because his
government keeps him at the South, or for
the wrong of allowing his plantation to he
on the Mississippi, instead of the banks of
the Connecticut. We are allowed to hang
no man upon an inference.
assure you, that if elected, he will do
more for peace and emancipation than any
Northern man would be allowed TO do.
General Taylor maintains on all occa-
sions the habit of total abstinence from all
intoxicating drinks-and to this he has as
cribed his robust health amidst the swamps
and campaigns of Florida and Mexico. |
would also assure you that nothing could be
more unjust and untrue than the assertion
that he is profane man, it is false altogeth-
err. He is bright exception to the common
practice Of profaneness in the army.
General Taylor is the decided friend of
christianity and christian institutions. He
was regular attendant on public worship
in the garrison, accompanied by his accom-
plished lady and daughter.
Mrs. Taylor is lady of fine appearance
and agreeable manners and a consistent pro-
fessor of religion. As family they ap-
peared TO observe the Sabbath strictly as a
religious duty.
The General took deep interest in the
welfare Of all under his command. No man
ever had the confidence of troops more than
he--and it was not his courage kindness and
discipline aone-but his interest in the tenn
poral and spiritual welfare of the men that
endeared him TO the army. Of the more
than 600 men-reformed drunkards-once
at Fort Jessup-allowed the benefit of the
library, reading room and every privilege
consistent with military life--many obtain.
ed their discharge before entering Texas
and returned to their friends and homes
and these, with all that shared with their
commander in conflict and victory, will
ever remember him and loUe him.
Yours, truly,
Boon's Lick times. [volume] (Fayette, Mo.) 1840-1848, 1848-08-12

GENIUS AND uAIR.--How curious il is
to notice the intimate connection between
genius and hair! You see it very often in
men, but universally in women, that the dis
tinguishng mark of literary or artistic
pretenson is not in the costume, but in the
mode of arranging the hair. Women dress
their hair in a variety of ways; each has
reference to what is becoming; but when
women set up for genius or learning, all
known fashions are despised, and some out
rageous singularily contents them. Just
look round this room. There is Hester her
self; she is young and handsome; but in
stead of taking advantage of her black
curs, she trains them up like modern
Frenchman. If you only saw her head,
you would call it boys. Then, again,
next to her sits Mrs. James Murch--she
reads Greek, and writes verses; you see it
10y the hair parted on one side, instead of
in the centre, and 10y the single curl plas-
tered on her brow, emulous of butcher
boy. There is Miss Stokng--she writes
history and talks about the Chronicle"
| see that in the row of fiat curls on her
forehead, and in the adjustment Of her
black hair. Miss Fuller must be philo,
sophica woman, by the way in which all
the hair is dragged off her forehead. Thai
bony thing next to her must be a poetess
by the audaci.y of her crop. In fact, de-
pend upon it, as there is science of phre
nology, there is a science of hair
