The NEBRASKA Bill.

The intelligent Washington correspondent of
the Philadelphia North American, in referring to
the Nebraska bill, says;
Il have Just conversed with friend who has
been travelling at the South. He is Southern
man. and man of sound Judgment and great no.
litcal information. He tells me that among the
people, the business of the South, he perceiv-
ed but one feeling the citation of this question
here. 1t was that of astonishment and indigna-
ton. 1t was considered wanton, gratuitous, and
of evil import. Its authors are fast earning the
contempt of Southern men, in their overweening
anxiety to CRAFTY them"
1t is manifest that public sentiment at the
South is being rapidly developed in opposition to
the bill. II it were submitted to vote of the
Southern people Tomorrow we doubt whether il
would receive the support Of respectable minor
ity. Every movement in relation to it diminshes
its hold upon the Southern sentiment. 1t gathers
odium from friend and foe alike. Whether it is
assailed advocated it steadily sinks in the pub
lie estimation. Its most judicious friends ADMIT
that it establishes nothing it stands, unless il
be Congressional Intervention. and its most in
judicious friends are precuded from denying this,
because no two of them agree as to its true effect
The lastspeech in the House upon the subject was
delivered by Mr.. Franklin. of Maryland, a warm
friend of the principle the bill assumes to establish
but who repudiates it in its present form substan-
TALLY as follows:
'Mr.Frankn said be was one ofthose who voted
for referring the Senate's Nebraska bill 10 the Com
mttee of the Whole on the state OF the Union
Although he was in favor of non-intervention yet
the provisions OF that bill were so otious to him
that he preferred it should be consigned to the
deep bosom OF the committee, rather than it
should by possibility pass the House. He entered
into an argument to maintain his position, saying,
the bill proposed Congressional inerv ention and
that there was intentional equivocation in it, the
phraseology being framed with full knowledge
that the gentlemen of tie North would place one
INTERPRETATION O. if and the Soith apofNar u
Here is manly Southern Representative who.
though friend to the professed purpose of the
BILL is constrained 10 denounce it as vile cheat
and as intended TO be such What possible ex-
cuse can any Southern member have for support
ing measure that whatever its former merits is
now completely denudcd Of every vestige of
merit! To violate the public faith for a round
consideration would have been bad enough. but 10
violate it for rothing worse than nothing.
would be an exhibition OF extreme devotion that
no Representative has right to suppose that his
constituents will expect of him. n Is

The Arkansas Levees

The Memphis Eagle & Enquirer, says: We
nave been frequently interrogated within the past
month as to the success of TIE Levee System in
Arkansas during the present great tide OF water.
Until last evening we We're unable to gather
nrelY reliable information on the subject Such
intelligence, however. is now lodged with Us. and
We have no doubt this community will be glad to
learn that the levees have successfully withstood
the raking attack of the Mississippi river, not
wlthstandins the water is higher now than 1t has
oeen Tor the past seven or eight years. The bot
toms are free from overfow-the only collections
OF water being the lakes and sues running into
them, ard the roads generally, from this city to
points west of u.s. are in good condition could
De expected, when we take into consideration the
quantity Of rain which has recently fallen. The
road from Memphis to Wittsburg. Arkansas, is at
present as passable in midsummer. Indeed.
such IS our information in regard to the roads
generally. This is cheering intelligence, and it
VIII have the good effect of increasing the conf
qence the friends of the levee system had reposed
IN 1t as atfording certain means OF protection to
The rich bottom lands Of Arkansas and Mississippi,
and convince the hitherto mistrnstng 1t will
have the additional good effect of iniusng greater
activity and energy into the work of bringing the
ievees to an entire connection. When this con-
necton is made, we have much confidence that
the bottom lands will be free from overflow. F
We regret to learn that an attempt was made
might or two since to cut the levee at the bayou
about twelve miles above the city A cut, suffi-
cfently deep to let the river run through, was
completed before the miscreants were discovered.

The BLACK WARRIoR.-The Washington cor
respondent of the New York Times under date OF
March 2lst, says:
Warren Winslow was sent as a special bearer
OF dispatches to Spain, in the steamer which left
New York on Saturday last. The messenger
which arrived here from the Captain General Of
Cuba to the Spanish legation, has accomplished
nothing. There are variety of reasons assigned
ior this failure, but probably, the true cause is to
be found in the want of official or diplomatic au-
thorty on the part of the messenger His pro-
position, it is understood, partook more ofthe ma
ture of an offer for the payment of damages for
the losses incurred, as in any ordinary commer-
cia transaction, than OF reparation for a national
offence, and was. consequently. not such an offer
as our government could accept. as there were
other much graver national questions involved, be-
yond the mere amount OF private damages sustain
ed The response to the dispatches Just sent out
will be awaited with more than ordinary solici-
tude; and it is as well to repeat, that unless the
temper of Congress on this subject is essentially
modified during the time which must necessarily
elarse before this response can be received, you
may expect something to fly besides feathers

GEOLOGICAL FAcrs.-In recent outline OF the
geology of the globe, by Hitchcock, the accom-
plished geologst, some interesting facts are given
respecting the extent and inexhaustibiity OF the
coal measures of the globe, particularly those of
the United States. La Nova Scotia and New
Brunswick the coal field covers nearly ten thou
sand square miles. In the southeast part of Mas
sachusetts, and in Rhode Island, is deposit COW
ering nearly five hundred square miles The
great Appalachian coal field, extending from New
York to Alabama, is seven hundred and twenty
miles in length, and covers nearly one hundred
thousand square miles. The Indiana coal field,
three hundred and fifty miles long, embraces
about flty-fye thousand square miles. In Mich
igan is another, one hundred and fifty miles long
which covers twelve thousand square miles,
The Missouri and Iowa coal fields, embrace fifty
thousand square miles The grand total in the
United States amounts to more than two hundred
and twenty-five thousand square miles. When
we think OF the immense extent to which the use
of steam will hereafter be increased this conti-
nent, in consequence of the of ccal, we can
form no adequate conception OF the future popul-
business and prosperity of the country.
