> GENERAL PHILLIPs.-1t would be REASONABLE
] to suppose that after such general outburst O
| popular condemnation against Mr.. Phillips, 70
his course relative to the pardon of Thompson
the murderer ofBushrod jenkins, he would hav,
been content to have spent the remainder O
his life in retirement. But such is not the cast
he is at present canyassing this senatorial
district to be elevated to the sam Office he ther
occupied, and in which he so signallv failed tt
represent the wishes of his constituents. Now
unless the signs of the times are very decep
tive, the voters Of the district, especially ofthe
parish Of Caddo, will be unwilling to bestos
their votes upon him again. The circumstance
connected with the pardon Of Thompson are toe
well known by this community to be stated al
length; suffice it to say, that Mr.. Phillips, by hi,
influence in the senate, aided a\vile murderer
to escape the punishmentthat an Impartial and
Intelligent jury, and a competent conrt, decreed
he should suffer. IF Mr.. Phillips had notified
our district attorney or any citizen Of the parish
that an effort was on foot for the pardon of
Thompson, his conduct would be more excnsa-
bic, but the secrecy accompanying the release
OF Thompson was a matter of astonishment to
all who knew any thing about the murder-his
guiltso clearly established that no one ever sup
posed that he would be considered worthy ofe1-
ecutiye clemcncy. LAW AND ORDER.
IHE FALL OF SEBAsToPoL.-The news of the
fall of Sebastopol, says Che New York Herald
OF the 2oth ult., took the city by surprise, and
spread with the greatest rapidity, and especial
lkFamong the French and English residents of
New York, who were greatly excited and %reioic-.
ed Atone place in the vicinity of Wall street,
where the news was publicly read out to a pro-
mlscuous crowd of merchants, including some
English and French business men, three hearty
cheers were given for the fall of Sebastopol. On
change the great event formed the principal
theme OF conversation, and many natural con-
CALCULATIONS We're exchanged. In the evening,
the usual resorts of our French citizens, includ-
ing Delmonico's and several other restaurants
were crowded, and the greatesthilarity display
ed, enhanced by the free use of champagne and
other wines, which was kept up until a late
hour of the night.
The people In all the towns in Canada on the
9th ultlno, were celebrating the receipt of the
steamers news with much enthusiasm.
At Toronto bonfres were lighted, guns fired,
rockets set of, and the greatest excitement ex-
listed. r.
AT Stratford the court of assizes was in ses-
sion when the news was received. 1t was
handed to the judge on the bench and read BY
him amld loud cheers. Some time elapsed be-
fore business could be resumed. Flags were
flying every where throughout the town.
The news of the fall of Sebastopol created
great excitement and surprise in Boston. Many
received the news with expressions of regret.
FRUITS OF TRuckLrNG-The abject subser
viency of the anti-American leaders to the for
eign element in our population in order to OBJ
votes, is beginning to excite the disgust of
The more intelligent portion of them, and they
are beginning to show it, too, in an unmistaka-
manner. This will not be surprising to any
man capable of comprehending how a given
cause will produce a certain effect. The for
or the adopted citizen, when he hears l
lis own countrymen extolled to the skies, their !
exaggerated and their vices hidden, BY {

neither sincerity or truth in the orator, and that c

we're denounclng the Americans on Canal street t
We heard precisely such sentiments fall from c
he lips Of more than one adopted citizen, who :
we're nauseated at the anti-American and pro- |
oreign course pursued by the speakers. They
