The Prospect o. q General War.
The New York Times commenting upon
the late news says that tie chances undOubt-
|edIy are, that The war viii eventually be-
come general Il will scarcely be possible
for France and England to look without con-
Germ upon its progress. Already. indeed,
the French Government--as will be evident
from the language Of the official Paris jour
naIs-is beginning to assume Iofier tone
than It has held hitherto upon this subject,
and to denounce the conduct Of Russia ii
terms which have called forth the emphatic
circumstances Of the Russian Ambassador.
The English Ministry viii hold themselves
aloof to the latest moment, but the popular
feeling of the country is far in advance Of
their action. and will be speedily infamed
BY the news Of the battles lost and won, to
pitch Of indignation which viii no longer
allow the Government to remain inactive.

JACKSON, Jan. elh, 1854.
M Pspn
Having other matters to look after, and
not scanning political matters very closely
I so afraid can write nothing which would
be Of much interest to you or your readers
but must redeem my promise.
Yesterday, the House in committee re-
sumed The consideration Of the Goyernor'l
Message. When vent into the Hall
found upon The floor quite i dignifed look
ing gentleman speaking in deep guteral
tone and having quite the air Of injured in
nocence and enIarging upon the importance
Of ''vindiCatiug the truth Of history" Hav-
ing understood that It was a distinguished
individual sometimes called " Copperas joe
from Joe salem, It had rather occurred to
me, that ''yindicating the truth Of history
was not exactly safe policy with him.
He seemed to admit everybody was honest
oener0lly-but stuck TO Sharpe's resolution
which charged lying on Fcote particularly.
This old gentleman, am told, started life
''subteranean" literary and has kept it up
in politics. His political pickaxe is said to
be always busy undermining. He is said
to be sleepy" for U. s. Senator, my i'm
preston is. his friends win forget to wake
him up and be will have quite long nap.
Mr.. Heinman. Of Tippah, also addressed the
Committee. He is quite promising young
democrat-he made plausible speech, but
it contained good deal of lad captandum'
matter, but it was about as good defence
as any old fogy among them is capable of.
Shackleford, of Madison, addressed the
Committee for near two hours. It was an
excellent speech, and ought to have con-
yinced anybody that the proper course for
the House to pursue was to have ordered
the printing Of the usual number Of copies.
The Commit rose, upon the motion of Gen.
Starke, to meet again at o'clock to-mor-
row, which gives him the floor.
But little Of interest transpired to-day in
either House The votes for Governor
were counted in Convention. The Demo-
cratic caucus meets tonight. It is thought
Brown and Davis friends are very equally
divided. IF nomination should be made,
the election tomorrow will be very soon
disposed Of
Gen. Foote left this evening for Washing
ton en- route for California. Never since the
days Of Aristides has there been in the his
tory of Republics clearer case of Ostrecism
for public virtue. The.very men who ma
terially contributed in building the Platform
upon which the National Administration
and the Democratic party of Mississippi
stand, have been driven from the councils of
the Nation by the very men who denounced
it, and well nigh severed the Union in their
mad career.
.since writing the above, my chum has
come in from down town with news from
the caucus Brown received So votes, Davis
SO. Some Union Democrats desired adj
mission into the caucus but obtained leave
to retire without asking it-6ygones are By
cones or begones. D.
