Threatened Difficulty acith France.
A Washington dispatch says: 1T has leaked
out of the State Department, that the French
Government has assumed position in rela-
ton to certain Russian vessels that have
been transferred since the commencement
of the Eastern war, to citizens of the United
States. being at the time of the transfer in
American ports. which is likely to cause a
difficulty unless the President faints A
list of the vessels has been furnished to Mr.
Mason, our Minister at Paris. and the de-
termination ayowed On the part Of the
French and English Governments to hold
them as lawful prizes if captured. Mr.
Mason, it is reported. exhibits some appre-
hension on the subject The correspon-
dence will probably be called for in a few

% The following complimentary notice
of Judge SrIrH. we copy from the Demo-
crat of yesterday:
JUDGE STITH.-We had the pleasure of
being present at the opening of Sewer Cir.
cult Court on Monday, the 18th inst, and as
many of our readers may feel desrous of
knowing how the new Judge of the Sixth
judicial Circuit 'demeans himself in Office
We take the liberty of saying few words in
relation to the matter. And in doing so We
desire 1t understood that We did not render
him our support in the election, and conse-
quently none can accuse US of prejudice in
his favor. when We speak of him in terms Of
praise; for most certainly we could consci.
entiously use no other terms than those of
cemmendation when alluding to him. Judge
Stnh presides with ease, grace and dignity,
and discharges the business of Court with
great tact and energy. He appears deter
mined to do his duty faithfully, and with the
talents and information which the public is
aware he so eminently possesses, We imagine
hone will doubt his making an excellent
Judge. Indeed, the people of Sewer ap.
peared highly pleased with the favorable
debut he made upon the Bench and for our
part We can but think that he adds more Of
grace and dignity to his position than that
In turn reflects upon him. Adopting the
general rules of his late predecessor in the
conduct of business. he carries them out with
unusual miidness, thereby enlisting the ad-
miratlon as well as commanding the respect
OF the Bar and the public in general; anc
should he continue to maintain the favorable
impression he has made in the outset of bis
Judicial career, we prophesy for him pop.
ularity throughout the Circuit fully equal, If
not superior, to any of his predecessors

70 In consequence of the high waters
We have had no mail from the East since
last Wednesday night. except the letter
mail. which came through from Little Rock
on Sunday evening The same cause has
interrupted our communication with Clarks-
vile. Texas. The contractors Oh both
routes have performed their duty with COM
mendable regularity. notwithstanding the al
most impossible state of the roads, having
failed only when the high waters prevented
connection. The same may be said of the
contractor on the route to Shreveport The
public interest requires an increased grade
of service on all Of these routes, AID We
trust that our Senators and Representatives
in Congress. will endeavor to impress the
absolute necessity of such change upon
the attention of the Postmaster General.

NATIONAL MEN-In a latelec ture in
Philadelphia, THEODORE Parker, com-
planned that the North had but four Presi-
dents, and the South eight. ont of twelve
elected by the people The Philadelphia
Ledger remarks, that when the North can
furnish better men than WAsHIGroN, JEF-
FERsoN. MADISON, JACKSON, and the mer-
Its of such men are overlooked for less ca
pable persons from the South, then there
viii be reason to complain of sectional diff
ferences and preferences The patriots
named above were chosen because they rep-
resented the spirit Of the nation. and had
souls large enough to regard the good of the
whole country. When such men rise north
or south. the people do houor to themselves in
placing authority in their hands for it will
never be abused to advance one section
above another, or to diminish that respect
for the Constitution. without which faithful
and impartial enforcement of the laws is im-
possible.

SrIrH presides well. and gives general salts

you nothing else But hold on. On Mon
day. the first day Of Court. the people in
great numbers, were assembled in this place
to hear the political discussion lately adver-
tised to come of between Col. E.. A. WAR
Rem and A. 81. GARLAND. Esq of your
town. Previous to the time of speaking
Mr. GARLAND gave way to B. 81 EPPER-
SON, Esq.. of Texas. who was here on pri-
vate business Mr. E. opened and Col. w.
replied. giving Mr.. E. the conclusion-and
the Lor6y. Democratic heads hung down
Ike weary creatures fast asleep and nodding
rapidly. The CoIoners favorise expressions
of knocking from tax, pitching in, butting
the bull off the bridge, &C.. and 50 on, we're
enterely behind the times. While Dir. E.,
in clear and mastery style, discussed the
politics of the day. Col W. was coaxing
and persuading the citizens of Sewer that
he was good and true Democrat. and if
they did not nominate him for Congress be
was firmly of the opinion that they ought.
l wish / had time to give you the particulars
of the speaking. but have not But one
thing is certain: leading Democrats were
heard to say that the Hon Col. ". had not
defended Democracy as it should have been
done, and all yielded that Mr.. E. made an
able and telling speech for the cause that
finds kind response in every heart Mr..
E. is a fine, high toned gentlemen. and l
would be glad if you knew him. for then
you would see one more reason for living on
earth
No news Great deal of rain, and all the
streams running high--aEd l see many
countenances breaking open at the idea of
having navigation soon. Yours in hurry.
