AN EUROPEAN ORGANIZATION AGAINST
TIE UNITED STATEs-The Washington
correspondent of the New York Herald,
writing under date Of the I'd Of March, saws
that the President received by the last ar
rival an autograph letter from the Empe-
ror of Russia. accompanied by an official
dispatch from his Minister Of Foreign AT
fairs, to the United States Secretary of State,
communicating the particulars of an organ
ization against this country, advised and en-
couraged by England and France. Ex-
tracts from letters sent to the home govern. .
ment. By Russian secret employees distribu-
ted throughout the capitals of Europe, pro-
wing the above statement, are given; and
although these secret agents are wholly ig-
norant of the existence Of any but them
selves, their statements are marked by an
extraordinary accuracy in point of facts and
dates. To show friendship and interest in
the success Of the United States is the pur-
port of the Emperors letter, which fact is
still further made evident in the communi.

Gen. Houston on Slavery.

From the reports in the Boston papers
Gen. Sam Houston seems to have had a
most cordial reception His lecture at Ire
mont Temple on slavery was more largely
attended than any lecture of the season
In treating the subject Of slavery, he did not
advocate slavery in the abstract, nor would
he discuss it as an abstract question. He
dealt with it as an existing fact, much mis-
apprehended and the cause of too much ag-
itation and discord. The people of the
South Gid not create slavery. The South
did not love it; but it exists there, and, as
necessity in the present condition of the
South, it must be used but guarded from
abuse the South should not encroach upon
the rights and institutions of the North nor
the North upon the rights and institutions
Of the South. Union is what is needed,
and freedom for every man to hold and ex-
press his own opinions. The report in the
Journal says:
He congratulated the North upon the
enlightened refined and elevated state of
society which be saw. But, he asked, do
you believe that but for the influx of for
eign labor you would have these railroads
Would you alone have been able TO build
them? Would the people of New England,
since the revolution, have been able to do
the digging in making these works? lap
plause and laughter You never would
have done it in the world Applause. L
Well, it is done, and we are glad to see it
done. But, let US reason little farther
Suppose this work had been laid out, and
no foreigners had come to these shores, YOU
would have had negroes working upon these
railroads as sure as the world 1t is neces-
sity, convenience, profit, that produce slave
ry. This is the great receptacle of foreign
labor, because it is cheaper to employ it
than to employ slaves. When foreign la.
Dor shall in the same way reach the South,
will she retain slaves? No, she will con-
struct ships-though there are no hands at
til laughter Ito transport the blacks to
Africa rather than have them among them.
These are the things we have to look at.
Let slave labor become Improbable. and the
South will throw it off.

Memphis and Little Rock Kali

We learn from J. B. SANDEFuR, ESQ,
who has Just returned from Little Rock.
that the 6. .szens of that place are about en-
terins With the proper spirit and energy,
into the work CT constructing the Memphis
and Little Rock Railroad.
One Of the enterprisiDg contractors, Mr.
JOHN IL. BRADLEY, Of Indiana, addressed
the citizens On two occasions. recently, and
they have determined. By unanimous vote.
that one hundred thousand dollars shall be
subscribed on the part Of the city, and the
public spirited citizens have determined to
raise by private subscription, one hundred
thousand dollars more With this amount
Mr- Bradley proposes to place the road from
Little Rock to White river under contract,
within sixty days FIr- BRADLEY says, and
he has too much character at stake to sFeak
a. random, that the sub-contractors are ready

hundred thousand dollars be found iusutii-
cient to accomplish the work, he viii himself
provide the balance OF the means necessary
for he purpose
Here we have practical illustration of
what can be accomplished by well directed
energy. and a united and determined effort
on the part of those interested. In our
opinion, al that is now required to ensure
the speedy construction Of road through
Arkansas, is, united and concentrated ef-
Fort On the part Of the people. And in or
der TO effect such union we need the iufiu-
ence of q practical mind. such as We un-

much needed in this portion of Arkansas
The people keenly feel ard deeply deplOre
