A long communication in the Courier DIES Etats-
Unis of the 18th instant contains the following
views on the Roman question, which probably
entertained by many in France, and may eventu-
| ally be carried into effect by that nation;
'There 10 but one way them of avoiding the evils
of the future, noble, decisive way, which is,
that France, the eldest daughter of the Church,
should retain perpetual possession of Rome. I'M
less this be done, diplomatsts will only be building
on sand, and Rome will continue to be the most
happy of cities. But what will Austria and Eng
land say or do? Nothing What part will the CO.
lossus of the north enact That of dwarf, as be-
fore. Rome is exception 10 all other cities; il
has been built, ornamented, furnished, and sup
ported by the whole Catholic world, and no more
belongs TO the Cardinals than TO Garbaldi. 1t is
the city of the universe, relique, moral inhrm-
airy, hotel for pilgrims. II French gold
that preserved the crumbling walls of the Coliseum,
built the church of St. Louis, restored la Trinite-
du Mont, and many other works When Austria
and England reyolted against the tribute Of the
indugences, levied to enrich the artistical world,
by sculpture, painting and music, France did not
revolt; comprehending the noble designs Of Paul,
Jules and Leo, she contributed her gold for the
establishment of Rome by the arts; she, with Mi
chae Angelo, added eighth hill of marble, ST..
Peter's, to the sevenh illed city of Romuus. Thus
France above all other nations has right to hold
possession of Rome, and to guard il against the
Germans, who might again ravage it as in 1927.
The eternal city will perish, unless sustained by
the arm of France"
By the way, this last sentence sounds somewhat
like bull; il is not very plain how an eternal city
could perish.

Hon. w. c. Preston.

1t affords us more than ordinary salts
faction to be able to announce, on the au-
thority of the South Cvolinian, that this
distinguished gentleman has returned to
the scene of his usefulness in improved
health, and is about resuming the import
ant duties of President of Columbia Col
lege. Few of our public men, who have
borne SO conspicuous part in national
affairs as Mr.. Preston did during his pres
ence in the Senate, have retired from the
scene of conflict and excitement CARRYING
with them so much Of the respect, conf
dence, and affection of the country as he
now enjoys; and fewer still, after being
tossed upon this vortex of ambition and
strife, have had either the courage or the
taste to adapt themselves to that noble
calling, which is SO much honored by the
conaexion of his name, and enlightened
by he brilliancy of his splendid talents
and learning.
The spectacle Of a statesman, formed by
nature to shine in the highest fields of in
tellactual contest, and warranted by his
claims upon public confidence to aspire to
the best honors of the State, thus with
drawing himself into the graceful seclusion
of the academic groves, and devoting the
energies OF his mind and the benefits of
his experience to the training of those who
are to control the destinies of the republic,
is one well fitted to excite the pride of
every American citizen, and to challenge
the admiration of all who regard the diffu-
sion of knowledge as one of the pillars of
strength which sustain the edifce of free
Institutions. Such an example is worthy
of all praise, and compares with the gran
deur Of the days of Cicero and Pliny. Po-
litical distinctions do not follow as the
reward of a life thus devoted to the cause
of human intelligence; but the gratitude
Of generation fast ripening into maturity,
and the applause of whole country, are
the more enduring memorials which it is
entitled to receive. No man has more
richly earned these laurels than Colonel
Preston, and we know of none whom the
American public would more willingly
see wear them.-Phila .4merican.

The most important item of intelligence by the
Niagara, says the New York Courier and En-
quirer, far this country is concerned, is
tanned in our telegraphic despatch from London,
forwarded to Liverpool just as the steamer sailed,
and published in our columns this morning. 1t an
that the French government entirely disauo,rs
the conduct of NJ. Poussin, and has appointed NJ.
Bots lie Compt, present French Minister TO Turin,
his successor. The statement is copied from the
Moniteur of Friday, October 5th so that there can
be little doubt of its authenticity.
This result must be in the highest degree crafty
ing every friend of the country. While it dissi-
paes every feeling of apprehension that the rupture
between the two Governments may lead to serious
hostilites it vindicates thoroughly the pur-
sued by General TAYLOR, in promptly dsmissing
the Minister whose official communications had
been 80 grossly offensive to Government OF
course, we have no means of knowing in what man
ner Nj. de Tocquevlle has explained or obviated
his quasi endorsement of NJ Poussin's conduct in
his despatch To Secretary of State but that for
tunately, is a matter with which our Government
has no concern. Ifhe can maintain his position in
the French cabinet, after direct rebuke this
he has reason certainly to congratulate himself
upon facile temper and strong hold on the favor
and confidence of the French President.
Our own government stands noDly indicated
from every suspicion of rashness or imprudence.
1t has acted promptly, earlessly, and with the safe
and noble instinct of true patriotism. The Wash
ington Union, as the special organ of the French
Minister, and Its echoes here will probably feel this
result TO be keen disappointment, it falsifies
Interpretations, and deprives them ofevery shadow
of ground for denouncing the Government of their
own country. But it cannot fail TO prove highly
