Monsieur Folk, Frenchman who went to
Jamaica to embark in business had been sad
~ abused there. He had been robbed, whip
ped, put in prison, his property confiscated.
and every species of indignity and outrage
offered him. On his return to New Orleans,
he told the story most pitiiully to Col. Pike of
Arkansas.
why, Monsieur Folk said the colonel,
according to your story Jamaica must be as
bad place as the Internal regions
Ma foi'-it is worse.
Now Monsieur. do you really mean that -
.C'est vrai'-it is true.
We'll now, Monsieur Folk said Col. Pike,
suppose you were on your deathbcd tonight,
and the Lord should appear to You and say
YOU might go back to jamaica or go to the
Internal regions what would you sayg'
Il would say, Monsieur good Lord, if it
beez all re ZANE to you, if il makes no differ
ence at all, | should very much choose to
please to prefer much racer to go to hill
He told his Democratic friend that if it
made no difference, he should prefer the
Frenchman's choice to joining the Democratic
party.n

HuRRYING UP THE WORKING OF THE TELE-

dain TO furnish to the American public any
explanation of the difficulties experienced in
the working of the cable. Ii is true the cable
is private property, but we think something
is due to the public, especially as our govern

and fifty thousand dollars towards its success,
and that frank explanation would relieve
the Directory from easily excited imputations
and satisfy all that no unnecessary delay had
occurred in opening it to the public USE"

that those who held the pipe seemed to Linn
not efficiently governed by the great princi-

your water-nOt on the top of the fire, where
it will be turned aside 10y roofs, floors, and

TRooPs ORDERED TO OREGoS.-0rders have
been issued from the War Department, select
ing the 9th regiment of infantry, now in ser
vice in the Department of Utah, for service
in Oregon and Washington Territories. The
regiment will be provisioned with three
months supplies. The equipments will be
completed at Fort Bridger. The commanding
officer of the regiment is directed TO see that
no wagon is loaded heavier than $4,000 lbs;
rapid movements being essential in the Indian
country.
AS soon as the necessary supplies and trans
portation are furnished the regiment will
march from Camp Floyd, situated 80 miles
boldt river, DC, to Benecia, California. The
commanding officer is required to report to
Gen. Clarke, of the Department OF the Pa
cihc. the probable time OF his arrival at
Benecia, that water transportation TO Oregon
may be in readiness Wash. States.

The Administration and the Tennes.
DemOcracY.

We had supposed that the Tennessee Demo-
cracy was prepared to sustain the administra-
ton in all things. In addition to the we'll
known subserviency of its sub-leaders to the
behests of the greater ones, the fact that Gov.
A. Brown is one of the cabinet advisers
of the President furnished further reason
that there should be no discordant voices in
the harmonious" camp CT the Tennessee
Division. But it appears that this supposition
has proved fallacious, and the Memphis Ap-
peal raises its voice in depreciation of the
course of the President in the relentless war
which that high functionary is waging on the
Little Giant of Illinois. The thinking
classes of the shams were doubtless prepared
to stand great deal of dictatiOn and to un-
dergo many sacrifices of opinion for the sake
of the party; but it was asking rather too
much that they should take sides with black
republican against one of their whilom most
trusted and admired leaders. For a time
they were humbugged with the idea that the
Buchanan democracy Of Illinois were main
tanning their organization under the lead of
Mr.. BREEsE, but that is exploded by the de-
to Mr. DOUGLAS or the President. The SIM
pie truth is the great contest in Illinois is
between DOUGLAS and LINCOLN. and their re-
spective friends-the party of the President
being confined to Federal Office holders and
those within their immediate personal influence
In this condition of affairs the Tennessee de-
mocracy could not maintain the 'serene indif-
ference" which the President affects, between
DOUGLAS and LINCOLN. They have a prefer
elce, and that choice is expressed by the
appeal, in opposition to the President and
his Washington organ, and the other Tennes-
see organs. The Memphis AUaldnche has taken
the 4ppeql to task for this squirting towards
rebellion, and we are looking every day
when the Union and American will read its
Memphis friend a lecture. if, indeed, it shall
not read it entirely out of the party. We
suggest that the 4Hpedl shall instantly "stand
from under" After the Union and American
has broken outright with DOUGLAS, WISE,
FoRNEY and HARVEY, the Appeal will stand
but a poor showing. The situation of the
appeal will not be relieved by the recent
COuisc VI MI. DOCbLAS at IlctpoieS "hSiO hO
came out fairly and squarely on the squatter
sovereignty platform and against that part
OF the one adopted at Cincinnati in 1856. In
view of which, and the Unexpectedly con-
servative declarations of LINCOLN on the
same occasion, there may be doubt as to a
proper choice between the two, even among
the State-rights, fire-eating democracy of the
South.
Upon the whole, there is unquestionably a
fair opening for an interesting squabble in
this amazingly "happy family" We shall
look on with "serene Indifference"

The Paraguay Expedition.

A Washington correspondent under date of
the Sd inst, writes:
The Paraguay Expedition will consist of the
following named vessels, viz:
Brig Bainbridge, built in Boston, In 1912,
and carrying six guns. She is now in COM
mission on the coast of Africa, but dispatches
have gone ont for her to proceed to the coast
of Brazil and await the arrival there of the
expedition. Her officers are Lieutenant
Commanding F. B. Renshaw; Lieutenants,
G.. A. Stevens, S. S. Bassett, and VIM. Z. A.
Campbell.
Brig Perry built at Norfolk in 1643, and
carrying six guns. She is now in waiting on
the coast of Brazil. with the following officers,
viz F.: Lieutenant-C Commander r. l.. Tilgbman,
and Lieutenants VIM. T. Truxton, G. c. Graf
ton, and j. J. Cornwell. 49,
Brig Dolphin, built in New York in 1886,
and now in commission (baving lately cap
tured the SLAYER Echo,) and carries five guns
with heavy metal. Her officers are Lieuten-
ant-Commanding J. n. Maffit, Zone of the
decapitated by the Immortal fifteen,') and
Lieutenants J. NJ. Bradford, L. p. Williams
and c. G. Carpenter.
Steamer Fulton, [side wheel, third class
built in New York in 1887, and repaired at
Washington in 1857, She carries but four
guns of large calibre, though registered for
FIVE and is commanded by the following of
ficers Lieutenant Commanding j. j. Almy;
Lieutenants NJ. r. Warrington, j. b. Stuart,
r. Selden, and NJ. G.. Campbell.
Steamer Water Witch, (side wheel, third
class.) built at Washington in 1S45, carries
but one gun. though registered for two. and
will be commanded as follows: Lieutenant
Commanding R. b. Pegram, Lieutenants A.
Barbot, E. T. Spedden, and one vacancy.
United States Revenue Gutter Harriet
Lane lately completed at Brooklyn, will car
ry one large shell-gun, and be Differed from
the Revenue Corps as follows:
Captain John Faunce; Lieulenants n.
Stanford. d. C.. Constable and l.. w. Wilson.
The Department contemplates adding to
this force another steamer, if one of the right
build and tonnage can be chartered; and the
Ordnance Bureau, under the charge of Capt.
ID. n. Ingram, is active in so arranging the az
mament of these ships as to make them etfec-
tive far beyond the ostensble power of their
guns. The officers of the expedition have
been selected with view to their efficiency,
and it is believed that without the additional
steamer the vessels named can secure all the
objects sought to be gained by the movement.

CLASSICS FOR ARKANsAs.-A story is told of
a Bostonian's first appearance in polite socie-

in dancing, but the loveIiest female present
occupied a chair at the window without d
partner. Stepping up to the lady with a
palpitating heart, his mind greatly excited for
fear of a refusal he exclaimed
'Will you do me the honor to grace me
with your company for the next set ?"
Her lustrous eyes shone with unwonted
brilliancy, her white pearly teeth fairly glist-
ened in the Pickering candle light, her heaven
ly snowy bosom rose and fell with joyful rap
