most appear that strange infatuatIon
had fallen upon the American Con- /,
gress. A few years since, the furor c
for extension was almost incontrollable,
aud assent was readily given to the
purchase Of any extent of barren waste
at an exorbitant price. A change ap.
pears to have taken place. The pres
'ent Congress has been in session five
months, and although three embryo
States have pe,itioned for admission
into the Union, now new star has been
added to the GALAXY of American
States. The Session has been wasted
in wraugling-in attempted innovations
upon we'll established principles, and in
giving expression to the insane deter
mination of tearing down the American
confederacy. This is reverse of sem
timent not sanctioned by the people,
and the determination to adjourn early
in June, win give Representatives and
Senators an opportunity to acquaiht
themselves with the fact. Adjourn
ment will be decidedly popular move
unless Congress shall, in the meantime

abandoned the principle which secured
the triumph Of the Democratic party in
the late national campaign. 1t is re-
:, markable that the champions Of the ad-
; ministration have been men of extreme
sectional views such as Stephens,
4 'roombs, Keitt, Green, Davis and Ma
Q son. These gentlemen, prior to th0
IS assembling Of Congress, were not re-
i garded as probable leaders of the ad'
ininistration party; but rather as the
. representatives Of an ultra sectional

poet andpolitician has now completely recovered
from his recent indisposition, and will in asfew
days complete his new poetieal production, "Les
Pettes Epopees" (Little Epics), which is 3expecs

1t is said that the sum paid by Partisan pub
fisher for the right to issue the first edition sno
less than $4,000 francs (e625). It will be re-
1membered that Victor Hugos last poetical pro-
duction, entitled Lies Contempl ati6ns, in two
volumes, was so popular that the first edition
was disposed of within. a week both at Paris
and Brussels, and with the proceeds the gifted
poet and patriot erected and decorated q pGLqis

tors of La Presse for romance to be published
in the pages of that paper. The. younger son
is engaged in translating the complete works of
Shakespeare, whose poems he has already pre-.
scented to his countrymen5in their native tongue
When we consider this gentleman's literary
abilities, his familiarity with the English LAM
lguage, with Shakspeare's works, and the vari-
Gus critical productions on the, subject; and
we remember the gross absurdities which have
rendered ridiculous existing French translations;
we cannot but hope that the young Frenchman
may be successful In tho arduous undertaking
in which he is engaged, and that his selfimposed
tasksmay be completed with honor to himself
and with advantage to the admirers of Shak-
speare in his native land. Theswork will form
fifteen volumes, of which four will appear in
the course of the present winter.
