CORREsP oNDENCE OF THE DIsP AT II.
PETERSBURG, March b.
An unusually large concourse assembled last
night at Phoenix Hall to witness the presentation
of service of silver plate to Rev. G. F. Deems of
Goldsboro, n. G. Theplate was present from the
reverend gentleman's many lady admirers in this
city, and cost, we believe, some $500. On receiv-
ing the gift, accompanied by brief, but somewhat
kifdlutin speech from eminent member of the
Petersburg bar, Mr.. D., seemingly much affected,
thanked the donors in very handsome terms, and
then proceeded to view the merits of his eontro-
versy with the Rev. DR. Smith. His speech q
beg pardon clergymen don't make speecAes)-his
address, lasted three mortal hours and was said,
by all who were awake at its ending, to have been
very eloquent and ntertaining-completely ami.
hilating DIR. Smith particularly, and the Virginia
Conference generally. 1t is to be hoped that the
affair of last night may be the last shall hear of
this clerical quarrel.
The Dispatch of this morning makes one of our
papers say that the Norfolk Railroad is compile
ted" up to a point half a mile below us. AS yet,
none of the iron has been laid down, nor are all
the bridges yet finished, and one or two years
must elapse before the road can be completed.
Candidates for Office plenty as blackber-
ries. Eight have already announced themselves
as candidates for the Office of City Chamberlain,
and as many more for each of the Municipal Of
fees AS the election is yet two months distant.
IT will be seen that for some time the newspapers
and bar rooms will have the best of it.
Officer Peterson found young and very good
looking white woman in Pocahontas this morning
lying drunk on a pile of lumber. He placed her
in a cart and removed her to Jail Tomorrow the
Mayor will examine into the merits of her case.

KANSAS AFFAIRs.-The st. Louis Republican,

Governor Robinson, in his message, which is
mostly devoted to a review of the history of Kan
sas, says it is understood that the United States
Deputy Marshal was privately instructed to arrest
members of the Legislature and the State officers
for treason. If so, no resistance would be offered
not finger would be raised aganst the FEEDER

hope but in revolution. He calls for military or

Bank bills. The two bodies declare their determi

says the proper way is to make every Bank pay

not. The Senate is right But we hope the diff

FRANCE AND EsGLAND.-A recent article in the
London Times has been received with astonish-
ment and indignation in France, and is severely
attacked by the French journals:
The Times said that ''in the conference, France
will represent the past, Austria the present, and
England the future. France has gained all the
glory she requires for the pestge of her arms Aus
tria is now reaping her glory as mediator Eng.
land, who was weak but is now strong, has her
glory yet to win From which the French draw
the conclusion that the Times means that the
English ought not to make peace and that France
is more the ally of Austria than of England.
The Assemble Rationale in reply TO this, says
I'VE find in this article the intimate conviction of
every true Englishman, and therefore its contents
appear to US worthy of the most serious attention.
There is truth in what the Times has said but also
much Boosting. If England is impregnable in her
isles; if her navy permits her to exercise in the
whole world an influence which it would be insane
to doubt, let the Times say what she has ever eff
fected on the continent, without the alliance of
some great power. England may be ready to un-
dertake war alone with Russia; but we would
know which of her statesmen would declare him
self responsible for that enterprise. England is
not exhausted any more than France.
Both understand that the aim of the war having
been obtained, doubly obtained, by the military
suits of the last campaign and by the concessions of
Russia, it is impossible to continue the struggle
without exposing Europe to general war. And this
is what France cannot desire, because her dearest
interests teach her policy which shall prevent these
divisions and struggles on the continent, which al
ways increase the preponderance of England 1t is
not in ideas to adopt exclusive jealous hostile
policy toward England. We wish merely reliere
the continent from her zreponderance and peace,
cluded terms honorable to all parties is the only
or at least the best manner to effect that What is
now passing in America may serve as a warning. If
it was only question of Mr.. Champion and the King
OF the Mosquitoes, would two great governments
cupy themselves long and fill the world noisily
with their quarrels! Decidedly not But under
these pretexts there exist serious and real interests
America
graver question-t is arrest the progress that
side least of the spirit of domination which ami
mates England no less than themselves. The perma-
policy of France is relieve Europe from that
spirit"
