The following communication from a French
gentleman complains OF the want Of variety in
our columns, and in giving it place we take oc-
cason to make excuse for the deficiencies ol
which he complains Our present editorial re-
portoral and news selecting corps has become
reduced by sickness, death and other causes, to
single writer, on whom falls the duty Of filing
all these departments Several Of our printers
have also died, many have fed from the cpl
demc and others are sick with the yellow
fever, so that we cannot get up the matter which
is furnished Added to this, there is little to
laugh at in the state Of things tha! surrounds
US and we could not write " somesiug for make
divarsion +" as our correspondent desires, if we
would Promising that his letter may furnish
to others that " divarsion," the absence of which
he deplores, we submit it. 1t is as follows:
Pour La Crescent.

TIM WBJa NOMINEE FOR CONGRESS. have
observed with pleasure that the wings of st.
James and of other parishes where the matter
has been debated upon, have come out IN oppo-
sition to the protest of the wings Of ST. Martini
and have determined to 60 in, heart anu SOUL
for ~ HUNT, the nominee OF the Donaldson
yillp Gu ntion. We cannot too much applaud
the course which thep have taken, as contrary
policy must result sastrously to the cause.
,biections have been urged to the nomination
eau the delegations from Orleans and Jetier-
utended SO pertinaciously for nominee
IRON their own section but that their course in
this particular was dictated by sectional preju-
dices we are not prepared to believe. The pres
ent nominee owes his elevation to the candida
ture, not from any local preiudioes, but to q
firm conviction on the part Of majority OF the
Convention that he was, under all the circum-
stances, the most available
We regret exceedingly that this schism should
have sprung up in the wing ranks. Our policy
has hitherto been to 60 with the party, and in
this instance we feel bound to do SO to the ut
most Of our power. Not only do we adopt this
course on the principle Of uniting the entire
strength Of our ranks, but because We are as
sured that the choice of the Convention is the
choice of majority of the wings in the district,
and because it is oar firm conviction that, being
elected, the interests Of the party and of his con-
stituents will not suffer in his hands.
Entertaining these sentiments we can not too
strongly recommend to the wings Of the interior
parishes to drop all prejudices and all section
al jealousies ard come up boldly and in solid
phalanx to the support Of the nominee. Diyi
ded, success may be doubtful, or the majority
achieved at most but small, while the union Of
the ranks and Of the strength Of the party can
net result otherwise than in the achievement Of
glorious victory. Let our friends in the coun-
try then drop all schismatie divisions and come
up boldly to the support of the cause. We, for
our part, will be not found wanting.

os- The Vicksburg Wbig quotes from the
'Shawneetown lllinoian," which it calls "a
strong Democratic paper" to prove that the
Pierce Administration is not popular, even
with its own party. This IIlnoian says the
papers of Mississippi condemn the appoint
ments in unmeasured terms We know nothing
of this Ilinoi paper, but do not believe it ever
was delnocra tic-and know it to be vastly ig-
norant or wilfully base. There is not Demo
cratic paper in this State that denounces the
ammo ;ntments of the Administration, that we
have ever seen; on the contrary the Democratic
press of Mississippi so far as sustaining the Ad
ministratien is concerted, is a unit.

The SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY AND THE
MONEY MARKET-The Washington correspond
ent of the Republic in his letter of the 18th says;
The Secretary of the Treasury was waited up
on to-day by gentleman of distinction, who is
known and appreciated in commercial circles in
the northern and eastern cities. He informed
the financial officer of the Government that there
was unhappily an exceedingly stringent state Of
things in the money market; that he had been
selected by number of eminent merchants of
New York and Philadelphia to suggest to him
that, as measure of relief, it would be wise and
judicious TO authorize the sub treasurer al New
York to part with portion of the funds of the
government to be secured on the hypothecaiion
of federal and State stocks. The Secretary ex-
pressed his regret that there should be any en-
barrassm ment felt among business men, but that
he could not remedy It. The gentleman urged
the importance of the suggestion ably and zeal
ously, but without effect-the Secretary remain
ed unmoved, was inexofable.
OCs- Such is the character of the pure and no.
bic hearted Democratic Secretary Guthrie. What
a contrast between him and his predecessor, Cor
win AS long such men as Guthrie, Davis,
and the other members of the present Cabinet
have control of the different Departments at
Washington, there win be no chance for Gal,
