THE EASTERN QusTOS IN FRAScE.-A
Paris letter says the Eastern question is dai-
ly assuming phase which leaves the soon
ference" far in arrear, besides Vienna notes,
as valuelrss as the pper on which they are
written. Every fresh Secount Of the massa-
ere, as it is now called at SinOPe, adds fuel
to the already blazing hime Of public opinion
in France. The Turkish vessels were far
weaker, il appears, in ciEnon, than the Rus
sian account representes; and tales are told
Of wanton destruction tf the towns and ram
parts, and of fundamentally, that have ex-
cited all the blood Of the Frenchmen. In
every cafe, saloon, passage, on the Boule-
wards, the Bourse, in the arcades Of the Rue
Rivoli, you hear nothing but murInurs deep
and loud at such bastard trucking TO the
Car. For six months, it is said, have we
been negotiating, every hour Of which he has
been acting. Of what good, if it could be
accomplished, is it to establish in Turkey 4
quadruple protectorats for the benefit of the
Christians-a protectorate that pre-supposes
eternal harmony between these powers-that
forgets that Russia may at any moment re-
sumo and enforce her present audaciOus plan
of action!
Better far, it is said, rise up like men, and
fall on this colossal power, and wiring from
her grippe what Sweden, Persia, Poland, and
Turkey, have already-lest. Millions. but
owuis a,r mora. aid wlssit the countenance
of France and England would give TO dash
their chains from off them, and fall like an
avalanche on their oppressor.
There is now 40 doubt, however, that both
the Powers have felt that the time for con-
cession has passed away. The combined
fleet has positively entered the Black Sea,
with orders to sweep away into SebastOpol
any Russian wal raft that may show its face,
while the Turks are to have full freedom of
the sea. Call tbs what you will, it is war;
and the day on Which NJ. Kisselif, the Rus
sian Ambassador. will demand his passports
is considered here mere matter of travelling
convenience. Napoleon has at last broke
through the marble Of his reserve, and it
has been known for some days past that the
paragraph extracted from independence Beige
which appears in the Paliie of to-day, was to
do so.

Loss OF THE SAN FRANCIsCo-The loss

years. We have no museums, opera houses,

MORE LIGHT.-It seems that we are to
have two papers at Cleveland-the Despatch
and the Banner-one whig, the other demo.
cratic-at least proposals are out for two
journals with the above titles. Wing and
Democrat! What glorious time we'll have
Of it in this Circuit when these new lights
which are just beginning TO twinkle in the
distance, shall have burst forth in all their
ctfulgence-sendng their rays into the dark
corners and Lighting up the hitherto dreary
and inaccessible places! Within the last five
years Bradley county has three times elected
a wing representative, McMinn twice, and
Monroe twicc-party feelings and prejudces
have been assuaged, party lines have been
broken down, and we are beginning to get
along again in n very neighborly, companion
able sort of way; TO regard each other, wings
and democrats, while differing in politics, as
members of great civil brotherhood, wor-
thy of the trust and confidence of one ano-
ther. Now, we don't want to see this pleas.
ant state of things disturbed-wo don't want
to see the labor Of five years thrown away,
the dying embers of party raked up. re-kin-
died, and blown into flame, and all chance
of ever again electing wing to any office in
the Iliwassee and Ocoee country cut off,
But we know it will be just that way if we
are to have couple of party papers in every
county town in the district, with names at
their heads without any heads to the Names
But, perhaps, we have said enough without
coming to the point. What we wish to say
is, that if the two journals proposed TO be
established at Cleveland are intended to
bring party feelings to bear upon the judicial
elections, it will turn out a great mistake,
and neither win nor pay.

CoNGREssIoNAL.-In the U. S. Senate on

enquiring whether there was sufficient force

same day, Mr.. l.. NJ Keitt, of South Carolina.
made powerful speech on the New York
party controversy, which completely electri-

defending slavery, and bringing back the
government to its original simplicity. He
also advocated the laying tonnage duties in
the States.

from Washington state that Gen. Cass has

is likely to be opened again, and the Union

European war is inevitable. England and
France have both been striving to avoid it
the former has compromised her honor with
out effect, and is at last getting ready for the
struggle. France, manifesting less anxiety,
has been preparing from the first. Public
opinion in both countries shows that the Ca
t:Istrophe cannot he much longer nyerted,
and unless, ms contemporary remarks, one of
those unforeseen and providcntial chances
should turn up, which occasionally defeat the
wsest calculations, Europe will, ere many
months, be plunged again in all the horrors of
general war. 1t is n fearful prospect for
humanity; but there are hopes conpected
with it that make millions of hearts throb
with exultation. Amidst the crash of de-
cayed and tottcring thrones, the enslaved
populations of Europe will again rise to vim
dictate their trampled rights, and this time
will wreak heavy retribution upon the

The reported treaty with Mexico gives
great satisfaction. The Senate would will
ingly agree to pay fifty million of dollars, in
stead of twenty, for the purpose of avoiding
another Mexican war, for the suppression of
tiiIlibusterism, and the acquisition of the
Tehuantepec right of way.
Besides these great objects, the treaty,
according to rumor, gives us an additional
slip of territory, south Of the ella, affording
the best railroad route to the Pacific, and
including also the much coveted gold region
of Sonora. 1t also does justice to private
