traordnary and minister plenipotentiary of the Uni
ted States of America to China
The appointment of Mr.. Reed as envoy extaordi
nary and minister plenpotentiary to China, although
officially communicated to him only yesterday, vii
not take the country by surprise On the contrary
the general supposition that the Office had been Of
would be, rendered TO this distinguished gentleman
has called forth an expression of appreciation from
the press as hearty it is entirely free from part
san character On all sides it seems to be cordially
conceded that this appointment is .eminenty I'll +
be made" and not the least pleasing crcumstanc
connected with it is the conspicuous recognition,
the person Of Mr.. Reed, Of the valuable and value
services of the old-line wings at a time when III
help of every true patriot was needed to preserv
our glorious Union from the mad assaults Of mi,

THE GOVERNOR OF WASHINGTON TERRITORY

THE GOVERNOR OF WASHINGTON TERRITORY.
We announced yesterday that Col. Fayette McNIu-
lin had received and accepted the appointment Of
governor of the far-off Territory of Washington
lie had presented very strong and fattering recon-
mendations for different office but the President
thought proper, without any solicitation from the
Colonel or his friends, to confer upon him the highly
over the affairs of the embryo State of Washington.
The position is truly an important one. To shape
in no small degree the destiny of this rising commu-
nity-to watch the varying currents of public opln'
ion and, as far expcdient practicable, to direct
them into proper channelsto contribute by all JUS
means to healthy and patriotic public sentiment till
the people Of the Territory pass through their con
dition Of puplagc, and are admitted into the Sis
tcrhood of Statcs--we presume to be a part Of the
duty of democratic governor of Territory
No better democrat lives than COL McNlullin. Ills
whole political career has been but illustration OF
the soundness of his principles, and practical deVO
ton to the policy and success of his party. Possess
ing emnently practical talents sound judgment
great zeal and energy of fcharactersocia, frank and
popular manners he has long enjoyed the confidence
and favor of constituency which has as often sent
him to Congress as he expressed desire for tho
honor His experience in political and public al
fairs has been long and instructive, and will certainly
be of great advantage to him in the discharge of the
duties Of his new position. His frank manners and
social habits cannot fail to make him acceptable to
the people amongst whom he is soon to reside and
we augur for him popular and successful admins
tration.

THE FRENCH COMMISSIONER TO CHINA

From our late French exchanges we learn that it
has been deinitvely settled that the French envoy
to China, Baron Gros is to be styled commissioner
extraordinary of France in China The chief cause
of complaint which the French government alleges
against the Chinese is that French missionaries have
been vigorously treatedone Of them, the Able Chap
delane having been put to death in China, in VIOLA
ton of the treaty, which provides that such mission
aries if apprehcnded within Chinese territory shall
be delivered up to the French consul.
The instructions of Baron Gros, after recting the
plans Of military action laid down for the guidance
of the French squadron as communicated to Adnrai'
Guern and Rigaut de Genouilly, direct him to de-
mand Of the Chinese government new treaty IN
which the following conditions are to be inserted
l. France as well as England, shall have resi-
dent representative at Pckn.
2. Nine ports, instead of FIVE, shall be opened 10
French commerce, and French vessels may enter al
any point the coast of the Celestial empire either
for repairs or shelter
3. Missionaries shall be allowed to preach the
Catholic religion in China, provided they abstain
from all attacks upon tho existing government al"
conform TO the laws of the country.
A. The number of French consuls in China shan
be increased, and their powers and attributes sh"'
be enlarged within prescribed limits.
The commissioner extraordinary is alone to &c.
eide when military operations to commence anu
TO what extent they shall be conducted but he Is "p
struced, before hostilitcs shall actually begin II"
present in conjunction with the English an mimaw'
to the Chinese authorities.

the District of LOG, which may be said to be
a very handsome majority. Coles majority in
West Baton Rouge was only II.

Howell 2450 over Ed. RawIe. It seems evil
dent, from the smalIness Of the vote, that the
Democrats generally neglected TO attend the
polls. The majority of Cole, for Associate
Justice, over Lea, was 1858.
The Jefferson journal says that Coles ma
jority in that parish, so far as heard from, is
goa votes, which will be increased to $50 with
the votes of Barataria and CheLiere. 1t is said
that Assumption gives him 100 majority. We
see no news of the election from the other pa
rishes.

In the Crescents money article Of Wednes-
day last we find the following:
The sudden departure of Mr.. John Oxnard,
the broker alluded to yesterday. has been The
subject ofremark, and parties are making en-
quiries regarding him in the following man.
ner:
"We sold on Saturday last to John Oxnard
our draft for G1.45O on Messrs. Tewells g.
Neck, payable so days after sight 10 our own
order, which he has not paid for. Any infor-
nation regarding the fate of said draft will be
thankfully received.
WARNEKEN & KIRcHoFF, Al Union street."
From all that can be gathered, we learn he
purchased bills on Havana to the amount Of
$4,000, on Saturday last, of well known
and responsible house. Whether he paid in
full or in part, we do not know. The balance
Of the funds, it is supposed, he carried in gold.
The full amount of debts he left behind, il 10
believed, reach nearly $500 900.

not endeavor to slash" the Iberville Democra~

''urged and pleaded with them to do so, in com
mon with the Democracy of the whole Dis
trict'-and we have no doubt that it thought
that the said urgings and p~leadingS would
cause the Democracy TO vote as it desired it to
vote, irrespective of that intelligence which
should guide correct and honest action; for
a man cannot be said to be acting correctly
who, by obeying the dictates of q party paper,
votes contrary to the promptings Of his con-
science. We are truly sorry that a miscon"
ception Of language, (admitting the fact with
out argument) should have caused US to use
a word in exemplifying it (of very little means
ing in itself, and Of no personal signifcation,)
which so greatly excited the ire of our con-
temporary Of the AdvocOte, towards whom we
have been so uniformly courteous, and whom
we have mentioned in the highest terms. His
coarse personal appellatives do not affect our
sensitiyeness a particle. For truth we are not
afraid to compare papers-and while bending
before the superior talents and intelligence Of
our amiable but rather captious contemporary,
we beg to say, that if he insinnates we have a
"Putty head" the insinuation is equally strong
that the intelligent and respectable list of sub
scribers who have stood by US for the last nine
years (among whom are d very fair sprinkIing
Of Democratic voters) are not far separated
from patty>heads also. At any rate, we much
prefer having a ~"puaty-heGd" than 10 have the
6ig-hedd But we have progressed too far on
a subject Ike this.
