Louis N0pOleOh gong 10 tne
We give the following extraordinary intelli-
gence to our readers. We are not permitted
to name our authority. 1t will suffice to say
that BY the last mails a letter was received
from Paris, by an individual in this city. We
have been permitted to publish a translation of
a portion of this correspondence.
"The Emperor has ~foreseen all the calami-
ties and reverses of Sevastopol ever since the
Allied army sat down before the city. St.
Arnaud was a trooper (pandour,) he might
have taken the place by a charge of cavalry
at the onset, but failing that a siege became
necessary. Neither Raglan nor Canrobert
were equal to their position, end Louis Napo-
leon knew it. He did not want Sevastopol to
be taken this winter. He knew short of a but
cherry, of which the history of war affords no
parallel, the place could not be carried. He
determined that Sevastopo1 should subserve a
mighty political purpose. For this, he has
beendeIaying supplies while he has concentrat-
ed his forces in France. An overwhelming
army is gathering on the Prussian frontier.
At MarseiIles, Toulon and Algiers, a fotilla, to
be reinforced by English vessels, will be ready
to sail with 10000 men on March 18th. On
the arrival of this armada in the Crimea, the
Emperor will leave Paris. and appear in person
before Sevastopol, A coup de main, upon a
gigantic scale, will be attempted. Sevastopol
will fall. The elated army, flushed with the
feat, will sweep over the Crimea and occupy
the Isthmus Of Perekop. After a campaign
which will endure a fortnight, Louis Napoleon
will return to Paris, where the suddenness of
his departure and the promptness of his re-
turn will find all conspiracies unprepared for
development, and where the glory Of his VIC
tory will scatter all further treason to the winds.
"Such is the campaign contemplated by
Louis Napoleon. Be assured that if Provi-
dence does not interfere, it will take place as !
have said Collaterally with tho departure Of
the Emperor for the East, the French army on
the Prussian frontier will operate upon Rhenish
Prussia. A note will be sent to the King Of
Prussia. demanding free passage for the French
troops through his dominions, which, if refused,
will Advance to the Rhine
If the above prove to be correct, Louis Ma
poleon has out played The whole world. We
have only been endowing it with terrors, 90 as
to appreciate the feat in contemplation by the
astue Emperor, of achieving a great Russian
victory where his uncle encountered his most
disastrous defeat.

What's in the Wind

We have heard it rumored of late that con
siderable trouble exists among the. politica
rulers in the Locofoco camp, arising out of the
fact of Gov. HEBERr appointing men to Office
without consulting rhem-and even going SC
far as to turn some of them out of Office. We
know nothing relative to the merits of the case,
but take it for granted, that if Gov. H., thro
his executive action, has got himself at wa,
with the old, rancid hucksters of his party; he
cannot be pursuing other than a righteous and
patriotic course. The True Della says:
Trouble at the Capiok-Gov. Hebert and
the Senate of the State are said to have got in
n bad humo- with each other, and if rum0rs at
Baton Rouge are at all reliable, matters of this
kind have come to a dead lock. For some time
past there has been a great lack of harmony
existing between the Executive and certain
pragmalical individuals ia the Senate, and we
have heard Of one instance where feeling ran
so high as to elicit from Gov. H. the intima-
ton to a Senator that if he felt himself aggriev-
ed, he gov. H. was ready to resign to afford
him an opportunity of redressing himself. 1t
is needless to say that the hint was understood
and declined. ,sg. sT rs i=#5
The difficulty now between the Executive
and the Senate, is represented to be caused
by his appointment Of "Know.N othings" to
the various State offices in this place, thus su.
persedlng the present democratic incumbents,
contrary to the ancient usages and dangerous
to the future integrity and success Of the de-
mocraiic party. 1t cannot be long before the
wal assumes more than a smouldering form,
when, if we have nothing better to do, we may
bestow some attention on il.

Veto of the SpOliatiOM Bill.

From all parts Of the country there are ex-
pressions of the most decided disgust and cha
grin in consequence of the Presidents vetoing
the French Spoliation Bill. 1t would seem,
from the tone of the press everywhere, that
if Mr.. PIERCE had not already disgraced his
Administration and the country by his v~acilla-
ting and contradictory course with reference
to Cuba, if nothing more, that this last act has
sealed his utter disability to occupy with COM
mon credit the lofty position in which he has
been placed by his fellow-countrymen. The
Baltimore American, one of the most %influen>
tial papers on the Eastern seaboard, thus speaks
of this veto:
1.-THE veto is an outrage upon justice and
an injury to the reputation of our Government
which no act of President Pierce, past or to
come, can compensate for. Never has the veto
power been exercised under less jus,ifabIe
circumstances, or upon pretences more at war
with honesty. The Presidents whole argu-
nent is that of the smart lawyer who opposes
the technicalities of the law to the obvious
claims of justice"
In reference to this Spoliation Bill, the Bee
says that our Government, more than fifty
years ago, took the debt due American citizens
by France, and paid to France the debt she
owed her, and obtained a discharge by this set.
off, and from that day to this she has refused
to pay her own citizens the amount of which
she has robbed them. She took private property
for public purposes without making a previous
indemnity, and after the lapse Of more than
fifty years, she declines giving a partial indem.
nifty. This is American spoIiation and not
French, and Polk and Pierce, by their vetoes,
have made themselves accessories after the fact
to a high-handed act of injustice.

"Fustian.-The two last issues of the Sou.
thern Sentinel, have been characterized BY more
than usual audacity. Sweeping and abandoned
assertions usually fill its editorial columns. To
adduce argument or state facts, seems to be
no part of the province of its editor. Regard
less alike of the fairness of its course towards
us, or the impudent audacity with which it at
tempts to deceive the public, we might be
justified in believing our contemporary a mono
maniac, ifhis intellect would allow even the
awarding of that lamentable distinction
But our contemporary cannot plead even partial
arrangement of mind in extenuation of his
errors. He has publicly ayowed the chief
motive which stimulated all his exertions.
Pecuniary compensation, the Dollar almighty"
is the sesame which throws wide open the
door of his sublime ambition. A Democrat
and a Wing, a Conventionist and an anti Con-
ventionist, a No.Party man, and a Know.No.

the ardent sticklef Of an earth. bound organiza.
ton, our chivalrous neighbor is steady only to
one unalterable purpose, the requirement of
pecuniary means. We can assure our indies
fatigable friend, that the goal of his desires
might be reached by far easier and more hon.
orabIe means, than by classifying the record of
history and maligning the motives of his on.
ponents, political or otherwise. .1

controversy with ourself, but in this regard. we
