French Affairs.

We think much unnecessary noise has been
made about the slight interruption IN the Official
Intercourse between this Country and France.
We have ourselves regarded it only as a little
cabinet quarrel of no serious moment, in which
there should be no national feeling whatever
Is il cause Of national qsarrcl, when Minister
is merely rejected on personal considerations
No objection is made at Paris to receiving from
this government an Ambassador, but the objec-
ton is simply against Mr.. Riocs. So at Wasll>
ington, an Ambassador from France will be
readily received-opposition only existing 10
MIR. Poussin. Why therefore quarrel? France
is about 10 send another Minister TO take tho
place Of Mr.. Poussini let us send another TO
take the place Of Mr.. Rives, and the difficulty
will all be over:
Let us not be drawn into serious difficulty
with friendly Power, by the mere cauits Of
two Cabinet Officers. The correspondence
between Mr.. Clayton, our Secretary Of State,
and Mr.. Poussin the French Minister, we say
1t with Difference, is altogether unworthy Of the
high stations they both occupy. II is as undi>
plon,alic, as it is hasty.tcmpcred and unstates
nanlikc. We cannot think any bcllcr Of Mr.
Dc Tocqucvillc's letter to MIR. Rush!

Treason Of Gcorgey.

This distinguished General after covering his
name with unfading glory, has become the sub
icct of vlupera,ve attack on account of his
supposed treason. Kossuth himself ascribcs
the failure of the Hungarian cause in part to
his " shameful ingratiIudc." We arc 10th to
give ear TO these gross charges, and hope thai
Georgcy's cause is not so bad as has been re-
presented. lie was no doubt reduced to great
extremity. lie was hemmcd in OIL all Sides
His men were ragged, and almost entirely dcs-
titulc of food. Tho Hungarian cause appear
cd 10 him utterly hopcless-und the longer con-
,innance of tho struggle would, in all probabil-
i.y have resulted only in disaster and disgrace.
II further prosecuted, it would have been
war OF death aud determination on the part OF
The Russians aud the Auslrians, and the nation
ality itself of Hungary would most certainly
have been destroyed. Though our feelings
were entirely with the Iungarians in their no.
bic struggle, and we had fondly hoped that they
wouldha risen superior to the power Of their
enemies, yet since, by the force Of circums,an'
ccs, different result has cnsucd, we can make
allowance for The pa,rio, General. whcn under
tho pressure Of the times, and the fear Of bring
ing reMidi:ess ruin OH his country, he has felt
il his duty 10 lay down his arms and yield to the
necessity OF the case. But we tlust that the
cessation of arms is only temporary; that at
some future day the spiri, Of the nation vii
again rise in its generous purpose, when cir.
cums,ances will conspirc more auspiciously 10
success. and achieve national independence!

Editor Of the Augusta Chronicle
and Sentinel.

This famed NWlhcrn Agricultural Editor
tue to his Northern Instincts. holds fortIl in one
of his late issues, in the following amusing bal>
derdash:
"Georsia has confidcd in the industry and
enterprise Of her people, while Carolina has
looked 10 her "rcs6Ailion mongers to regain
her lost prosperity. A few more years Of such
confidence will open the eyes Of her people,
and show them the advantages to be derived
from famed Northern Agricultural Editor
as well as the blishIing curse of her great 'res
ouiion monger."
"That such day will, ere long, dawn upon
South Carolina we are rcloiced to believe and
know, from evidences in the constant course OF
Development That she has been too long ac-
cus,omcd to use lhc resolution monger at
Fort Hill rs sort OF abor-saving machine 10
think for her, is Fact of which many of her
intelligent sons are already convinced and
ihey are we'll satisfied thai the building up Of
GranileyiIle, or even the proper disposition Of
few loads Of manure, contributes more 10 the
real and substantial prosperity of The State than
all tho resolutions and gascOnade that have
been pm, forth at his bidding"
The Editor has repeatedly entertained his
readers in low rbadry against Mr.. CALHOUN,
and in expressions of contempt for South Cars
ona and her internal policy. Every man has
his tas;e But, this mans idiosyncraeies are,
indeed, peculiar. He seems 10 have strange
resl, for manure-and for Indecent attacks uron
oirtue and intelligence! And another Of his
pecullarilics, not the least strange is, that he
does all his vicious work under the guise of
virtue. But in This he veriles the old apotI,.

PARTICULARS OF TIE LOSS OF

WEIGHING OF COTTON.

We werc invited on Monday evening to
witness the weighing of some cotton on
Filasimonss wharf, The history of which
may tend to throw some light OIL the dis
crepancicS between the weights of Plan
iers and Factors, which arc now subject
Of controversy.
The cotton was received in April last
from one of the most eminent planters Of
our State, neatly packed. with tho weight
Of each bale marked upon. Itwas shipped
from the landing Of the planter in a private
boat, and was consigned 10 relative, a
gentleman largely engaged 10 the cotton
business, under whose supervision it was
weighed. Every bale fell short from 8 to
35 pounds-the aggregate deficiency on
ten bales being l72 pounds, or an average
Of more than II pounds per bale. Six or
eight days afterwards it was sampled aud
placed in store, under lock and key.
On Monday last. ten bales were taken
out aud reweighed, showing further di-
miuu,iun of weight, but which is readily
accounted for by the evaporation which
always takes place when stored in dry
room. After the ten bales wero reweighed
in the warnfinger's scales, they were placed
together in the scales of The City Weishcr,
which were adjusted with the The incest
accuracy, aud the difference was but three
pounds, occasioncJ. no doubt. by the dirt
accumulated in rolling The bales from one
scale 10 the other. The following is re-
captulation:

balcs-374. 326, $50, 360, 406,

These results will show that errors in
weighing may sometimes occur on the
plantation, as we'll as in the city. and that
imputations of fraud should not be lightly
based upon discrepancy between them.
As charges of the kind have been made,
however, tits due to all concerned hatthcy
should be pressed to an issue, aud either
established or wilhdrawn.-Mercury.
