From France our news this week is very
important, all political interest is bound up in
the German quarrel. The Legislative Assembly
has declared its neutrality, and in such tone as 10
enforce a strict obedience to its mandates Ii Is
said that NJ. Persigny, the private friend Of Louis
Napoleon, and late Ambassador at Berlin, has been
incessant in urging the President TO join Prussia
and involve France in the quarrel; but private in
tngue, in the present temper Of the nation, Is in
noculous. There have been serious disturbances
in some Of the departments, but the strong military
attitude Of the Government keeps all quiet.
NJ. Mon, who is at Paris, has been recalled TO
Madrid by telegraph.

The idea is sometimes suggested in this region
that great fears are to be entertained of the
soundness and reliability Of those sections of
the State, having but few slaves, in case there
should be n difficulty in the Southern States,
upon the subjects growing out Of the slavery
question. This mistaken idea is honestly en-
t~ertained by some good citizens, but i is our
candid belief that il is a false idea, concOcted
oud, promulgated for the unworthy purpose Of
intimidating the people and alarming their
fears 10 the present crisis.
UT Is manufactured to order, and is intended
to have It's effect in dissuadiRg the ffeenen of
this country from tie manly and Independent
Insertion Of their rights. Feeling that before
the people the doctrine Of tame submission to
Northern aggression will be rebuked, the effort
Is now being nude to ~foreStall their judgment
by exciting their fears a~nd'aowing the seeds OF
distrust ola p%Jr(ion Of our fellow citizens who
are infinitely more 10 be relied on than the
miserable authors Of the sllnder.
The people Of the East, though having fewer
slaves, than the river counties Of the West,
are lust as much interested and have really as
deep a stake in this mattel AS their more veal
thy neighbors, lift ever should be tie case, (and
we trust in Cod, it never may) that soldiers
will be needed to defend our peculiar %iastitu-
tions, the Eastern section Of our State, thus
secretly and cOyertly slandered, will prove her
devotion to the South in the most signal man
ner,a hilstthe authors Of the calumny will prove
by their conduct that their hearts are not with
~.
If snch an emergency should ever arise (and
we think none such will arise, ii our people
are true'to themseIves) the sturdy yeomanry Of
The East will in the main be found truer friends
10 their natal soil than the asistocratic nabobs
.oGthe West.
We wage no crusade against wealth, but We
shall never fawn and Aatter at its alter, and
conceda.to tia monopoly Of allthe patriotism
md all the devotion to Southern rights. For
according to our limited experience the mush-
room aristocracy Of w~ealthlis not the material
to rely on n.the 'times that try mems souls"
In the foregdiugremaTks we wish not to be
misunderstood. Those ofour fellow citizens
who h%onestlyl abor under this n~isconoeptioniin
reference to the East, are Of course not to be
included in the above remarks, But language
cannot express the contempt we. feel for those
who have started this idea with the view Ofnn-
necessarily awakening the fears Of the people.

The Vicksburg Sentinel gives the follow
ing synopsis of a letter from Gen. Felix
Houston of La, addressed 10 the members
of the Nashville Convention.
The MILITARY SrRENeTH OF THE SouTH-
ERN STATEs'--Gen. Houston considers
the Southern States superior in military
capacity TO any country on the earth. He
says that proper views on the subject are
necessary because by failing to adjust the
slavery question, the arrogant and over
bearing spirit Of the North will ultimately
produce a hostile collision between the two
sections, and, that a correct appreciation
Of the capacity of the South for war. will
lead to avert the conflict, or inspire conf.
dence in their ability 10 defend themselves,
He treats the present controversy as a
mere contest for superiority. He asserts
that the desire Tor superiority is a ruling
principle OF human action as well as with
individuals, and that the North is actuated
by that pTlociple in its wal on the South
he denies that the. comparative strength of
nations sonsists in numbers alone. II is
dependent upon other various considera-
tons. 1t depends more on the spirit and
Intelligence ola people. and the number of
men they can maintain in the field in pro-
portion to their whole population. In
modern times, il is estimated that few ma
'lons can maintain in the field as soldiers

SONS the delusivP hope that the reign OF
peace has commenced with the passage OF
these measures, reflect upon the following
article, which we clip from the Washing
ton Union of the 1lth nst.,
"The District slave billlwas discussed
yesterday at great length in the Senate
without any decision. Whilst every thing
bid fair for It's passage, the ill-omend gen
Jus Of Mr. Seward as usual, %interposed a
new obstacle in its path. With a species
of monomania which. marks the honorable
senator's whole course, he proposed 10
amend the bill by a provision which
would emancipate Immediately all the
slaves in the District, aud compensate their
masters out OF the public treasury. 1t was
like ibIowinga fire brand into the Senate.
Mesrs, Mangum, Dawson, Atchisson,
Foote and Badger attacked his position
with irresistible force. Mr.. ChasS OF
Ohio sympathised with his ultra views,
though he was disposed to regret their in
PRODUCTION at the present time, Messrs,
Baldwin, Dayton and Winthrop declared
their determination to vote against it
Tore, apparently, on account of the time
and circumstances under which it was pro
posed, than from any objection to The prln-
t%ipleon which it was founded. The ominous
words of Mr.. Dayton, / am mol prepared
ut his hme,,t to act upon this subject and
the expression Of Mr.. Chase, that this bill
was the first step of other movements, ex.
cited flame through the senators from the
slaveholding States, The argument and
reply of Badger to Winthrop were dis.
tinguished by extraordinary power. We
hope our reporters will do full Justice tt

This is the beginning; what the end is tc
