A YANKEE COLUMBUS IN FRANcE.-Among the
minor items of news from France we find one stat
ing that an American shpmaster, Captain Billings,
of the ship Mary Annah, of New Hampshire, had
succeeded in getting his vessel up the Seine as far
as Rouen feat deemed so extraordinary by the
good people there that they Immediately heaped
honors as extraordinary on the adventurous YAM
kee who had thus made the important discovery
of the navgable character of their river. 1t is
declared that the Mary Annah is 1.-The first go
ing vessel which ever went so far up the Seine;"
and hence the authorities received Capt. Billings,
as sort of Columbus, with admiration and rap
ture, making him valuable presents, striking
medals to commemorate his landing buying his
load of cotton and ordering second one. to be
brought to them 10 the same novel wav. and
placing "a steam-tug at his disposal, to tow his
ship, free of cost, back to Havre.

The EXPEDITION TO JAPAN.-The Paris CORES
pondent of the Washington Republic qnotes long
favorable to the Japan expedition, and says that
event OF transatlantic origin has excited so
much interest in Europe since tie discovery of
gold in California as the announcement of the
American expedition to the Japanese seas. He
adds: The letter of the President to the Emperor
Of Japan is considered gem of the first water by
both Americans and French. The expedition has
found favor with all upon this side of the Atlantic

peculiarly heavy, for the friends of progress had
much to hope from the suggestions OF his practical
and well stored mind and much to expect from
his known zeal and liberalitv.
But the possession of rare qualities of the head
and heart are no exemption from death, and the
relatives and friends of the deceased must console
themselves for his loss, by contemplating the use

Gen. Cass.

| Virgil tells of giant who had been endowed
by his goddess mother with three lives and who
had to be killed three times before he could be
subdued-"ter tetho sternendus erat." The amiabe
but unfortunate Senator from Michigan appears to
have been similarly endowed and to have met the
fate cfhis NEUROLOGICAL prototype He was irstkill
ed by his party in the Baltimore Convention of
1874. He was slain second time by the Wings in
184S, and now his third and last light is snuffed
out by Democratic hands. He has no more lives
in reserve. He has received his quietus at last,
beyond the possibility of mistake or doubt. The
spiritual rappers, like the 'juggling fends' that
accosted Macbeth on the blasted heath, have opal
tered with him in double sense.'' But the most
cruel feature of the affair is that after having
been sacrificed the altar of availability the VIC
tim has been condemned to kiss the rod that mote
him, to lick the hand that shed his blood.
The following dispatches were read in the
Convention:
From STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS: II congratulate the Demo-
cratic party upon the nominations and Illinois will give
FRANKLIN PIERCE larger majority than any other State
in the Union"
From Gen CAss: GA good nomination, that of Gen.
PIERCE. l shall support it heartily"
From Gen. HoUsToN: IAN excellent nominations it
will unite the whole democracy.
Douglas and Houston might we'll afford to ex-
press their delight at the nomination, for they
such source of consolation and comfort. His de-
feat in 1848 sealed his fate forever. The Democ-
racy can never forgive him for the disaster which
he brought upon them in the memorable struggle
of that year.

the s.ern necessity which forced him to assist
