In this opinion the Herald considers itself justi-

plainly manifest the desire Of the Emperor OF the
French TO do us a mischief if he can.

leave France, in prosperity, power and military

Our DifBculttes with Greut Britain.

In the late interesting debate in the Senate, on
the dismissal of the British Minister Mr.. Toombs,
the able Senator from Georgia said that, whilst he
did not believe that the dismissal Of the British
Minister would necessarily lead to disturbance of
our peaceful relations with Great Britain he must
express his regret that the matter has taken its
present course. Our government, says Mr.. Toombs,
having been satisfied, as it acknowledges, with
the representations of Great Britain upon the
question in dispute, ought to have allowed the Bri
fish Minister to remain as necessary consequence
He differed from this government upon the enlist
ment question, and said he thought the matter had
been pressed to a point rather of pettifogging
than of craftsmanship. Mr. Toombs added that he
did not concur in the extent to which our govern.
men. has gone in CONSUMING cur neutrality laws
and that he did think the British Government has
Uiolated them in any thing which ii has done.
Mr. Butler. of South Carolina, considered it very
unfortunate that the British Minister has been dis,
missed now after the protracted correspondence
He did not say that the British Government had a
right to take exception to it, but he would much
prefer to have had the thing done at once or not
at ALL He would regard it as great calamity
IL the sword were to be drawn, and would avert it,
as far as he possibly could consistently with the
honor of the country
We have little doubt that the opinions avowed
by these Senator'S are those of the great mass of
the Southern people.

Southern Railroad Association

This Association, composed of the officers of all
the Southern railroads, has been convened by its
President, R. r. Cuyier Esq of Savannah, to
meet at Ashland, (Slash Cottage,) on Tuesday, 9Th
July next.
The objects of the meeting are to regulate the
business relations of the Southern Railroads. and
combine them in one complete system.
As the Association is composed of intelligent
gentlemen engaged in the consistent support Of
Southern interests, we may expect from their
meetings something more than mere arrange.
ment of freights, fares, guages and schedules.
Wemay expect development Of railroad com.
merce, and the Recommendation of a concerted
plan Of Southern improvements worthy conside-
ration and adoption by the Legislatures Of the
Southern States. Reciprocally interested, a. all
railroads In the same section must be, We may OK.
pect that the stronger shall aid the weaker, 1T

The Richmond and Danvile Railroad should be
extended to connection with the Georgia roads
The Virginia and Tennessee Road should extend
ih aid and countenance to the incomplete section
OF the Great Southwestern Railroad. Terminating
for the present at Memphis but destined to be
connected with Mobile, Savannah, and New Or
leans The Central Road should be pushed into
Kentucky and into Southern Ohio.
But, above all, the Association should recon-
mend to the Southern States the connection of .
common trunk, by way Of Ell Paso, to the Pacific
Ocean. This important work will develop homo
