JACKSON, Miss, Thursday juno l, 1851
The "Rub;con' il passed, and Stephen A. Douglas

the .oulern feeling at large by the expressions OF the

that the passage Of the Nebraska bill is but another name
for his political grave. Instead Of its making himself
popular in the estimation of those Whose favor he seeks to
vin-the southern chivalry--they look upon him as
schemipg, designing politician unsafe to trust IN any
manner with the affairs of Government, and that he would
mot scruple to sacrifice the peace happiness and pros
pcry Of the nation if thereby he could attain to seat in
the Presidential chair. The end would sanctify the

TThe times are. awful dull. Money seems
to be mighty scarce. We look at our collec-
tors wih tears i'm our eycs-but it's no use! A
friend called in a few days since, and throwing
down a V, said he wished TO pay his subscrip-
ton. We a sked him what that was for!-if
we had done anything to offend him, which
made him act SO singularly? "No," said he
mildly, tiny subscription is due and l wish to
pay it." We looked at him long and steadily,
till his features were daguerreotyped on our
heart, because of his thought of the printer
and pocketing the money with thanks which
must have stood forth in our eyes, blest our
stars that a good old honored custom had not
entirely died away.

Since the sailing of the Asia. there has been ne
fighting, either on land or at sea. Napier's fleet
had sailed suddenly from Keil, but the destination
was unknown. 1t was supposed that some Rus

Russian expedition to Japan had succeeded in open
ing the ports of that country to the trade of Russia.
The United States and Spain.
WASHINGTON, April 25.-Mr. Soule, as stated

the Spanish Minister of State, that the U. States
Government will not recognize a simple suspicion
as a justification for the seizure of American yes

The Late FOREIGN News.

The True Delta of last Monday, gives a sy.
nopsis Of the late foreign news received by the
last arrival. 1t shows great successes on the
part Of the Russians. They have captured
nearly all the Turkish fortresses on the lower
Danube, from Hirsovato to the mouths of the
river, and have succeeded, in spite o fthe French
and English fleets, in landing a large Lodv of
troops from Sebastapol. All the upper Da-
brudja is now in their possession, which gives
them the command of Wallachia and the
Danube. This the first great advantage in the
fight has been acquired without much loss
The possession of these fortresses on the lower
Danube will be a great advantage to the future
operations of the Russians, as they will now
be able to transport their troops with facility
by steamers, and concentrate them upon any
point on the Danube from which til desirable
to operations in Bulgaria. The for
tresses of SiIistria, Ru.schuk and Shumla lie
in the line of operations necessary TO reach the
Balkan passes, through which lies the road to
Constantinople. These will probably be next
assaulted. Rutschuk is the present head.quar-
tiers of Omar Pasha, he having removed from
Slumla 70 that position on the 18th of March.
Omar, it is said, had anticipated the Russian
advance into the Dabrudja, and the Turks fell
back in consequence of his orders, but why
he should give up such advantages as the
possession of fortresses which kept the com.
mand of the Danube, it is difficult to imagine.
He intends, it is said, to make a stand at Adri- |
ans Wall, and if they are defeated, the impor.
tant fortresses above mentioned will surely fall
into the Russians hands, the Balkan passes of
and Shumla be opened to their march.
Thence Constantinople could be reached 10 a
weeks, not however, without opposition,
for the nature of the country present many
obstacles in the way Of accomplishing that
object. The Turks are pouring their
into Varna, on the coast Of the Black
Sea, TO strengthen their present position in the
path Of the Russian army. Constantinople has
out few defenees against their foe. The presence
here of the French and English troops may,
however, be likely to stop the triumphant ca.
eer ofthe Car, and change the aspect of affairs
materially
