BRITISH HYpocRrsY.-The Paris correspofs-
dent of the New York Times writes:-Since
the commencement of the war in India, Eng
land has actually proposed to France, (simply
to save the latter from the appearance Of being
engaged in the slave trade on the African coast)
to transfer her operations from Liberia to In
dia, to relinquish the black trade for the$Sepoy
trade! The fact stands recorded in an Official
printed letter from NJ. Walewski to Mr. Mason
England proposes to furnish France, not ne
groes, but white member prisoners Of war
taken in India! England proposes to engage
in the business of wagng war in order to catch
stout fellows to carry down to the coast to sell
to the French! And if the French demand
for sepoy laborers should be large. we should
see no doubt prisoner catching war waged in
India that would put to the blush all the com
bined wars Of the black princes Of the Congo
coast together.

WARM FIGHrMG.-Since the year 1855, a feud has
existed between the North Caronians and Tennes-

Polk county, Tennessee It has been aggravated

parties being badly beaten by their opponents and
The 3lst August last was agreed for pitch battle
A letter from the Tennessee sheriff says:
sThe day arrived. Thirty of the Tennes-
side made their appearance at the place appoint
ed armed with rifles, muskets, pistols bowie knives
aud clubs. Night came and still not Carolinian

Tennessee boys got impatient and unlawfully slip
ped over the line found of the they want
ed, took him out Of bed, and they started with him
for Tennessee OF his friends rushed to the res
cue, and a general battle took place. No one was
killed but one had his thumb shot off; another shot
Ill the hand; another wounded III the head, whilst
several were badly hurt by sticks and rocks. The
excitement among the people became furious; the
North Carolinians organised company to invade
the Tennessee frontiers, and Monday night the I'd
of September was apart for the attack About %
Tennesseeans Tin self defeuee) assembled toreceiye
them The deputy sheriff, getting notice Of the an
ticipated fray with sufficient number Of men pre-
pared 10 arrest the hostile proceedings. Night came
on, occasionally spies were seen lurking around, at
whom the Iennesseeans would fire their rifles. At

were advancing wheeled aud He'd No arrests were
made There Is bitter feeling, and some fatal con-
sequences will yet ensue, unless the strong arm OF
the law succeeds in arrestng the affair.
