MORE SCANDAL.

The tongue of scandal, which shows as lit
tie mercy to royal as to plebeian persons, hav-
ing finished of Prince Albert, is now busy in
discussing Louis Napoleon. A rurnor is just
now prevalent in England, $50 says one of the
countless horde of real or imaginary Lendon
correspondents of the New York press,) "that
the same miserable tragedy is about to be
acted in France which was played in Napo
leon the Greats time, and which dishonored
and broke the heart of the Empress jose
phine. Hereditary succession will be the
cause of this cruel and unnatural act, if it be
accomplished In the case of the great Ma
poleon, the excuse was that Providence had
afflicted the Empress; in the case of Napo-
leon Ill, the universal opinion is that life
of gaiety and excess has brought its natural
curse on the Emperor .ty
The divorce of Josephine was crime
which even the genius of the Rev. Mr. Alb
bolt, in Harper's Magazine, has failed to ex-
tenuate. 1t was blunder as well as crime,
and from that i'll fated hour, the star of Napo-
leon lost its lustre. Louis has before him an
instructive lesson. Will the Bonapartes,
like the Bourbons, learn nothing from their
own experience or that of others? 1t
was supposed Louis WAS man who had some
regard for common decency. considering he
had been SO short tims'a King. Instead OF
troubling himself about begetting other
kings, he would better make sure that he
does not end his own days more obscurely
than his illustrious uncle. The world is eyery
day becoming more wearied Of hereditary
monarchs, and indeed OF monarchs of all
kinds.
WA London correspondent of New
York paper says that ''the death of Captain
Hyde Parker, an esteemed pember of a gal.
liant scattering family, and who was killed in
an action against the Russians, has caused
much excitement amongst the British. His
death win one day be revenged ON the Rus.

whatever? Here's Clinton and Trezevant on the affirmative: the Hon. E. w. King, on the negative. A pretty discussion for a village de. batting society.
 But this is not all the mismanagement appa- rent in the letter of MT. Trezevant. He ac- knowledges that the legality of the subscrin- ton was debated in Memphis at the time of making it, and that it was agreed as settled to the satisfaction of the Memphis people. Why did not the other parties sconcerned-the people of this State-hear something of the merits of the case. An, sir! if at all discussed Gas one might question from the contradictory positions occupied in its justification it was found discreet to have it hushed up. Only few knew any thing of it: otherwise there would be concert in its defence. Besides this, Mir. Trezevant al- leges that the Little Rock road is still the first wish of Memphis how do you reconcile this with the joint statement of the said Trezevant and MT. Topp, to P. L. Anthony, of Browns vile, Prairie county, that Memphis has aban- doned-as 12 months of this abandonment proves-the Little Rock road, altogether?

Indian Outrages.

In yesterdays evening paper, says the N. O. Picayune, we made a brief mention of some murders committed by party of Indians near San Antonio, Texas, taken from an extra of the Ledger of that place, of the 17th ult.- Since then we have also received one from the Western Texan, of the same date, and from the two we make up the following narrations:
 On yesterday, about o'clock, P. M.. news was brought from Mr. Galagher's rancho on the San Geronimo, about twenty three miles from this city, that party of Indians four or five in number, and supposed to be Camanches, had made their appearance at that place, had killed and driven off number of sheep, and that a man and woman, the shepherd and his wife, were missing, probably carried off by the h. dans. At the door of the tent in which the shepherd lived, an arrow was found The fur nture, etc., in the tent was scattered about, and a trunk broken open and its contents thrown out. From that place they then took their route over the hills in the direction of San An tonio
 This morning at 2 o'clock, Mrs. Forester ar- rived Tn town from whom we gather the follow Ing later and more dreadful account:
 Her husband, James Forester had resided TOT some months past on small rancho eigh- teen miles from town, short distance off the Fredericksburg road Yesterday between 2

How Britain regards Cuba.

In the course of late debate in the British parliament on the topic of the United States and Cuba, based upon the Black Warrior affair, MT. Bailie made this remark:
 Most assuredly, unless she (Spain) fulfilled her engagements with us, and took care that Cuba should no longer be the grand, and, in deed, sole seat of the slave trade, which she had undertaken tosuppress, she could not fairly complain # England took 10 measures to pgeuent Cuba from .tallang into the hands of tue Anaeri- Ca1ls.
 Mir. Golden took up the defence of his col league, and made the following emphatic de- claration:
 Without saying one word about the expedi- ency of giving Cuba to the United States, or assisting that country to take possession of the island, he thought it would be greatly for the interests of humanity if the United States, or any other power that would altogether dis countenance the slave trade, should possess it. Cheers.
 Sir John Graham expressed the. same tone of sediments. They all show that Spain will rely upon weak reed in her Cuban troubles, if she looks to Great Britain for aid.

COL. ALBERT RUST,
The Democratic Nominee.

The convention for nominating candidate to represent the 2nd congressional district met at Princeton, on Monday, the 1st of May, and organized by eecting Hon. B. c. HARLEY, of Dallas county, its president, and S. M. ScoTT, of Clarke, and MT. LOCKE, of Union county, as secretaries. After many ballotings which last ed until Wednesday morning, Col. RUST was unanimously nominated as the candidate for Congress in the Southern district. The pro- ceedings of the convention passed off in the most pleasant manner, and the announcement 1 by the chair of the nomination was received with the greatest enthusiasm.
 A better selection than that of Col. Rust in our judgment, could not have been made. To render his name and his merits familiar to the voters of the Southern district, no eulogy is de- handed at our hands. His long and distin- guished career as democrat and his repeated and useful services as legislator, have already made known his worth and endeared him to the people. Possessing abilities of the highest order, mind capable of grasping the most comprehensive subjects, and devotion to the interests of those he represents that never wea- rles or abates, he has proven himself worthy the confidence and esteem of his party in this State. In Congress where he will have a more extend ed field, we predict for him bright and hono- rable career.
 In hoisting the name of ALBERT RU ST, we present the democracy candidate in every re- spect worthy their earnest support. He comes before them endorsed by convention repre- senting large majority of the democratic votes of the district. His nomination was unani- nous one, and as far as our opportunities to judge have reached, it is one well received by the party. Believing in the doctrine of sub- mission to the will of the majority in conven- tion expressed, we feel no hesitation in calling upon every true democrat to come forward and give his earnest and hearty support to the mo- minee.
 What will be the course of the whig party, or who will be theirleader, we do not yet know. But from the preparation they are making to bring candidate into the field we judge they will give us warm contest Let then every democrat stand firm at his post and maintain the strength of his party. The principles we advocate and the candidate we offer to carry them out in the national council, are worthy our most ardent and strenuous exertions.
