"THE Coop QUEEN OF INDIANA. The st.
Louis Intelligencer claims that Kentucky
woman is the Governor Of Indiana, and
proves it in this wise: "Sone months ago
the bachelor governor Wright, of Indiana,
paid n visit to Kentucky-fel in love there
and married Kentucky woman. Soon after
taking his bride home the Legislature Of In
diana passed prohibitory Liquor Law, which
the Governor at once made up his mind to
veto! He had actually written out his veto
message when his good wife, who had been
absent, arrived home-'twas his new Ken
lucky wife-and she, good lady, finding out
the state Of affairs and true to the (,0) right
would listen to no such act. She was for
staying the floods of tears daily wrung from
women by whiskey She was for relaxing
the grasp of hunger laid upon the yitals Of
children by the rumseller; and she demanded
in way not TO be resisted, that the bill should
be signed, and that Indiana should have n
good Liquor Law. The British--that is the
rery loyal of them-gory in their Queen, but
what has Victoria done to compare with this?
Long life to the good Queen Of Indiana"

PARTISAN GossIr-THE FRENCH EMPIRES.

PARTISAN GossIP-TBE FRENCH EMPRESS.
A Paris correspondent of the Buffalo Cou.
rier thus writes about delicate matter:
The Empress has herself given up all
hope, and they say that not long since she
frankly spoke Of that delicate subject 10 her
husband.
She told him that she comprehended the
Importance of an heir TO the throne, and that
she was willing to accept the hard Jaw of n
divorce for the safety of the State and tho
satisfaction of her husband. The Emperor
would not listen to it; but there are those
who think that it will come sooner or later,
as he wishes so much to copy bis uncle.
In spite Of the affection which Louis Ma
poleon evnces for the sweet and gracious
Engenie, she is always sad. She is of ten.
der and loving nature, with great love Of
Independence, and horror OF etiquette. She
has more than once, while wearing the In
perial crown, regretted her simple title Of
countess The sacrifice which she offered in
renouncing the THRONE would not have been
50 great III one would suppose.

diction, says the Pennsylvania, was made
not three months snce-about the latter part

prophecy may elucidate the mystery:
Ere three months have passed, dating from
this hour, an assassination of a CROWNED head
will nstonish and bewiIder the magnates Of
Europe, and overturn an empire in another
quarter; a traitor to his king, bub loyal man
to his God and TO his fellows, shall turn his
strength against his master, and raise the ban.

fsarfully warm. Mr., Wise, the democratic

appears, was n failure. II is said that none
of the Liberties granted or corrtesies shown
to the American officers, were extended, to
the English. Even the admiral was not per-
mitted to see any part Of the country, a high
fence being raised on both sides of the path
by which he was conducted from the wharf
10 the house Of the Governor Of Nagaski.--
The officers, though they nude every effort,

AN ELASTIC PRRcIPLE.-The National In

cation TO the islands of the Pacific ana to
China. At the great meeting of "Wednesday
last, in tho city of New York, the following
resolution among others, was passed by nc.
clamation and with great enthusiasm
Resolred, That the Union Democracy Of
New York, ddhering to the true American
doctrine Of Monroe, repudiate any line Of
Governmental policy which docs not resist,
to the extent of the ''life and fortunes" of the
nation, all European interference with the
affairs Of this continent, and which will not
resent TO the utmost the entertainments which
are sought to be made BY the Allied Powers
of Western Europe in China, The Sandwich
Islands, Central America, and Cuba.
1t is such superlative nonsense as this, ut
tered at party meetings. and sent forth ms the
