F4cTs AND RpMoRs.-The Washington CORES
pondent of the Baltimore Sun, puts an eatinguisher
on some statements Of official matters which have
lately formed tie staple Of many newspaper arli-
cles, and much quidnunc wonderment. He says:
The excitement produced by the rumor of d-
rect foreign interference on the part Of European
powers in the affairs Of the United States or Of
this continent has much subsided. The rumor
that there has been sharp diplomatic cores
pondence between Mr.. Crit:enden and the gov
ernments of England and France is found to have
but very little foundation The rumor that France
and England were to send special messenger to
this government for the purpose of directing our
policy in regard to Cuba is untrue. Agaia, the
story that France and England had sent fleets to
our coast 10 intercept our vessels bound to Cuba
with hostile purposes is untrue. All that is true
about this Interference is that the governments in
question Gent orders that their naval forces then
on the West India station should protect CUBA
from hostile inyason. Il is also true that, even
as TO- that degree Of interference, which grew out
of an undoubtIy long existing agreement on the
part Of the governments in question to maintain
Spain in her possession Of Cuba, was somewhat
rebukad BY our government. The hest iniorlp atoh
that we have, to the character of the despatch
es Of Mr.. Crittenden, shows that he exhibited
these naval orders as pnnecessarY and calculated
to do no good"

VERDICT IN THE Jew CAsE.-The case
of Peltier S. Rowland VS.. Coleman and
wife, heretofore mentioned as being be-
fore the Court of Common Pleas of Phila-
delphia, was brought to close on the
10th nit. The verdict OF the jury On the
main points at issue was, substantially,
that John Rowland was indebted to his
brother Peltier at the time of Johp's death,
and that the release given by his widow
to Peltier, on the day of her marriage to
Coleman, for moneys remaining in his
hands as executor of his brothers estate,
was not freely and voluntarily given, but
that it was obtaiped by taking "pncon-
scionable and inequitable advantage Of
her circumstances and condition" This
verdict is virtually for the plaintiff, be-
cause, as the Indebtedness of his brother
is admitted, the release which is declar-
ed void could be of no practical value 20

The GRAND RESULT MIsslsslPPL-The Jack
son lMiss.) Flag of the Union, of the 18th inst,
thus sums up the result of the September and
November elections in Mississippi
"The result of our State elections is now before
After struggle of more than twelve months,
between the ressters of the plan Of adjustment
and the Union men, the popular decision has been
fully and emPhatcally expressed in favor Of the
latter, in both the September and November eec-
tions. AS the result of the first election, we now
have in session in the capitol. Convention, num-
bering eighty one members out Of ninety-eight
delegates As the result of the November elec-
tions, we have the whole Union State ticket elect
ed, and three Union members elected to Congress
out of four. Mr.. Nabors has beaten Mr.. Thomp
son in the first district, Mr.. Wilcox has defeated
Mr.. Featherston in the second, and Gen. Freeman
has lriumphed over Col. Melville in the third,
Gov. Brown has succeeded in the fourth district;
and doubt his is owing to the fact, that
he everywhere declared himself to be Union man
Of the frst order. The Legislature will also be
decidedly Union in its complexion; thus giving the
Union party the control over the election of
United States Senators, both of whom will Ger
tainly be Union men, In addition, Mr.. Scott has
been elected Chancellor of the State, by deci-
ded majority over his opponent. the Hon. John L.
Guion. The Union party has great cause for
congratuaton, in the triulnphs Of both their prin-
ciples and their candidates.
"From the last Congress our delegation returned
home. FIVE out of six, resisters of the most reliable
stamp. Our delegation will 60 to the next Con-
grets, FIVE out of six, Union men of the most un-
questionable devotion to the Constitution, the
Union and the Government. Our State officers
in the capitol were all ressters, and where are
they now? Succeeded by Unionists-not one left
as memorial of the past.
"It is true our majority in the State is greatly
diminished from, the September election; but when
we recur to the means used throughout the State
the arguments presented and the new issues
assumed by opponents, it is not surprising that
such result should occur, The people were told
the question of resistance to the compromise was
settled, and that the present struggle was swing
trick" 10 hoist Wings into Office! Other means,
freely resorted to, to obtain votes, we understand,
were extensively practised-but we forbear. The
result is sufficient. The Union ticket has triumph
ed by decided majority; while our chief standard
bearer, Gen. Foote, against whom all the heavy
artillery, of the secession party was brought to
bear as well all the small arms of their guerrilla
skirmshers, has been most glorousy sustained.
This is enough-t is sufficient glory for one potI-
cal campaign"
