Social hnercourse.-We should make it a

News from France.

The telegraph gave US last week a very full
account of the coup d'etat made by Napoleon;
but in addition to these adyices, we find in the
Charleston papers the following particulars re.
ceived by the Baltic:
During the recent disturbances, the loss
sustained by the army was one officer killed.
and three wounded, and fifteen soldiers killed
aud one hundred and fifteen wounded. Fresh
arrests were daily being made of the leaders
of the Republican party. Louis Napoleon will
be reelected President by an immense majority.
Changarnie r and the other Generals are conin-
ed at Havre, awaiting their trial on the charge
ofexciting the soldiers to revolt. Commodore
A.. p. Catesby Jones, U. S n, who happened
to be a spectator near one Of barbados had
his leg broken and afinger cut off. The Prince
de Joinville and Duke UAumale, had gone to
the frontier of Belgium, and raised the STAN
dard of revolt against Napoleon. Paris, by
the 9Th instant, had become perfectly tranquil,
and no indications of the recent commotion
were to be seen, with the exception of barri-
cades. Louis Napoleon had issued an address
calling on the people to 60 to the polls, and sta
ting that he would freely submit to their de-
cision.
The news from the other portions of Europe
is %unimportant.

Srange'-It appears, says the National liz
teNigencer, that at the dinner given to NJ. Kos.
suth by the gentlemen of the Press in New
York, no toast was given in honor of the Pres
1dew Of the United States; and it also appears
that Mr.. Webster's'letter to the committee sta
ting his impossibility of being present or the
occasion was Kissed; but not, it is hoped, by any
American present. Now, we believe it to be
true that the first movement made by any pub
lie man in christendom for the release ofKos-
suth and his companions, from their imprison-
ment, Kos mate by Mr.. Webster, in his letter
to the American Minister at Constantinople in
February last; and we think it altogether pro-
bable that, but for this letter and the influence
which it produced in Turkey and elsewhere,
Louis kossuth, would still at this day, been a
prisoner in Asia Minor.

T At the New York banquet, the F. Z
Sellers took possession of Kossuth. 1t is in
the subjoined passage from the letter of the
N. York correspondent ofthe Delta, which ap.
peared in last Evenings Edition of that jour-
nal.
At the banquet of the Press, in New York,
none bnt those representing the political free
soil interest were present. That is the reason
why President Fillmore was not toasted at the
dinner, and why the name of Mr.. Webster, by
whose interference kossuth was brought out
of his state ofdetention in Turkey, was Kissed.
The freesoilers of New York are very polite
to the national administration. Kossuth's
popularity had reached its eliminating point
before the freesoilers and all other rad calls had
seized on his advent as their exclusive hobby.
1t is not their object to liberate oppressed na-
tons abroad, but to reduce to subsection States
at home. They hate the south more than they
love Hungary. They declare themselves for
intervention, and if they can establish the poll
cy in regard to foreign nations, they can do it
as to the Southern States"

NEW ORLEANS AND NASHVILLE RAIL-

SOM few weeks since, the General Council o

spirited citizens JAMES RoBB, W. G. KENDALL
and W. P. ATwooDD as a Committee to wait up.
on the Tennessee Legislature, and influence thai
State in the proposed Railroad between Nashville
and New Orleans. Their mission was eminently
successful. Upon their return to the city, they
made a Report to the Mayor, from which we
make the following extract: ,
Besides opening a communication to the
Gulf, it supplies one with Memphis, by means
of the road now building between Chattanooga,
and without any material increase of distance
over a direct line of Roads between these two
cities.
Assuming that Tennessee will make her
portion of the Road, it only remains for New
Orleans and Mississippi to do their part, and
complete n great Road from New Orleans to
the Tennessee, making n distance not exceed
four hundred miles, and over a section ofcoun-
try in every way favorable to the construction
of a road on a scale of very moderate outlay,
and in an unusually short space of time.
If this Road be started, and the work under
progress, great impulse will at once be given
to the various Roads now in projection, and in
three or four years, New Orleans will be reach
ed from Pittsburgh and the Northern Lakes in
sixty hours, Louisville in thirty hours, Nash
vile and Memphis in twenty hours, Knoxville
in East Tennessee, in forty hours, and WASH
ton City in sixty hours
1t is needless to enlarge on what will be the
probable growth and increase of New Orleans
when she becomes the terminus of this mag
nifcent system of Railroad communications,
and it requires the exercise of no more than
ordinary foresight to perceive that when this is
obtained, New Orleans will speedily be made
the great mart of trade with our Pacific pos
sessions, and, in a very few years, build up
commerce that will elevate her to a scale of
grandeur and Importance, that will place her in
the foremost rank with the first cities of the
world.

Sound Sentiments.-It is so seldom that We
find aught in the Vicksburg Sentinel to copy
with approval, that we take pleasure in trans.
ferring to our columns, the following paragraph
relative to this distinguished patriot. The
Sentinel expresses its views with force and
ability:
awe shall regret much to have the convic.
ton forced upon US, that Kossuth has visited
this country with the hope of inducing us to
change our long-settled policy with respect to
foreign nations. From the character of some
of his reported speeches, since his arrival at
New York, we must fear that he designs lending
himselfto the advocacy of the doctrine, that our
Government should abandon it's non.inter-
course principles, and take a direct and active
part in European politics. If it be his design
to popularize these views, we say at once, that
we have no sympathy with the movement, We
reprobate it in the strongest terms. Our true
policy is the same now as it was in the DAYS of
Washington. We must have no entaneling
alliances with the Governments of other coun.
tries. With the struggles for freedom every
where, we can sympathize heartily; words Of
encouragement and hope, we need not withhold:
the exlled patriot, from whatever land he
comes, we can take to our hearts, and welcome
to our hearthstones. Yet, we still hold that
any armed Intervention in the affairs of other
nations, at any time, or upon anv p~retenee.
would inevitably lead to calamitfes of the most
serious character, even fthe liberties, we now
fully enjoy, should fortunately survive SO fatal
a policy.

Sinking Of Tennessee Mountain.-It is sta
ted that a fewdays ago a portion of Walden's
Ridge sunk with a noise resembling deep-toneG
thunder, leaving a huge gap in the timber that
fringes the sides of the ridge, extending about
two miles in a parallel direction with the top
The gap in the dense timber appeared to be
about sixty or a hundred feet in width, and the
assure in the earth reached to an unknown
depth, in which trees of the largest size were
torn up, and enormous rocks, whi:h had proba-
bly, laid concealed for ages, were rent from their
primitive ~beddings and laid bare. The foun-
dation on which the mountain rests is su ppo-
sed to have given away.

The press throughout the country is pub
fishing the brilliant speech of KossUrH at the
banquet in New York We cannot think o.
giving the entire document.
The great orator responded to this toast
"Hungary-Betrayed, but not subdued. Her
call for help is. an echo of our appeal against the
might of the oppressor."
While referring to Washington's policy; and
asking whether it was to be the policy of the
country nOao, he said: "Would it not be ridicu'
lous to lay the giant in the child's cradle, and
to sing him to sleep by a lullaby?
Again, referring to the close of the last cen.
fury:
"Then your infant republic. composed of
thirteen States, was restricted to the borders OF
the Atlantic-now your giant republic is spread
to the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific, and
your territory is a world. Your right hand
reaches Europe over the waves, while your
left hand reaches over the Pacific, the East of
Asia; and there amidst two great continents,
you stand, in proud immensely, a world your
self"
A policy Of non-intervention is the policy of
q stand-still," says he, and adds:
"But | am sure no citizens Of the United
States had, has, or ever will have, the wish to
see this country degraded to the roofing vege
tation of a Paraguay, or the mummy existence
Of a Japan and China"
Speaking of the doubts cast upon the JUS
tice of his cause, he said:
"Ifthe cause of my people is not sufficiently
just to insure the protection of God, and the
support ofgood willing men-then there is no
just cause, and no justice on earth. Then the
blood of no new Abel will move towards
Heaven. The genius of charity, Christian love
and justice will mourningly fly the earth a
heavy curse will upon morality fall-oppressed
men despair, and only the Gains of humanity
walk proudly with impious brow, about the
ruins of liberty on EARTH"
Here is a fine sentence: "Commercial inter-
course is the most powerful locomotive ofprin-
c%iples."
Here: his conclusion:
"Sir, | have done. Conscious of no personal
merit, | came to your shores a poor prosecuted
exile, but you poured upon me the triumph
OF welcome such as the world has never vet
seen; and why? Because you took me for the
representative ofthat principle of liberty which
God has destined TO become the common ben
eft of all humanity; and it is a glorious sight
to see a mighty, free powerful people, come
forth to greet with such a welcome the princi-
Pile of freedom even in a poor, prosecuted, pen
niless exile. Be blessed for it. Your gene
rous deed will be recorded thro' all posterity; |
and, as even now millions of Europe's oppress-
ed nations will raise their thanksgiving to God
the ray of hope which you by this, your act
have thrown on the dark night of their fate;
even so, through all posterity, oppressed men
look to your memory as a token of God that
there is a hope for freedom on earth, because
lisa people like you to feel its worth and
to support its cause"
