POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE.

The democratic State convention of Mississippi win be
held at Jackson, in that State, on the first Monday in
July, for the purpose of nominating candidates for gov
ernor. secretary Of State. treasurer, and auditor of public
accounts.
Zion. Eli S. Shorter, who closed his term of service as
a representative from Alabama in the Thirty-ffth Con
gress ON the 4th of March last, has declined a reelection.
He will commence again the practice of his profession at
Eufaula, having associated himself with William II.
Chambers, esq. s 4.
The North Carolina Standard of the 18th states that
Maurice @. Waddell has announced himself a candidate
for Congress in opposition to Mr.. Gilmer for whose ben
eft he withdrew two years ago. The Standard expresses
the belief that the democratic convention of that district
will bring forward a nominee "who viii be able to defeat
either Mr.. Gilmer or Mr.. Waddell, or both of their to-

The canvass between Mr.. Letcher and MFR. Goggin was
continued at HarTisonburg, Va, on Wednesday last.
Speaking of the contest, the Southern Argus says:
'Mr. Lctcher' speech was a magnificent effort, and
terrified the opposition. Mr.. Goggin vainly endeavored
to answer Letcher. One of his chief points was thai
Letcher voted to have Spanish quarters valued at twenty
cents. His speech must have mortified his friends
for a correspondent writes that 'Goggin reminded hin

REsfEcr 70 1HE LATE fosrhAsrER GEsERAL,


On the 9th inst a meeting Of the citizens OF Nashville
and Davidson county was held at Nashville for the pure
pose Of expressing their sentiments on the death Of ex-
Governor A. v. Brown, late Postmaster General. Gov.
J O.. Harris presided, and Z. g. Eastman and james L.
Rains oiiciated as Secretaries. Resolutions were unani-
mously adopted expressing the profound regret with
which the sad intelligence was received, their admiration
for him as q man and a Statesman, their sympathy with the
State and the country In the loss OF one of their ablest, best,
and most honored citizens, and their sympathy with the
bereaved family, TO whom his loss is, indeed, irreparable.
Previous 20 the adoption Of the resolutions, eloquent and
impressive speeches were made by Gov. N. S. Brown,
Rev. @. ID. Elliott, Hon. Andrew Ewing, and jackson b
White, esq A feeling of sadness and regret pervaded
the meeting. After the appointment Of \. G. Eastman,

representative governments would scarcely withheld his
admiration from the House OF Gomnons last night, q
o In the very lew words that were uttered last
night by the three men, each OF whom has mose than once
led the Commons, and may do so again, the Question that
harnesses the whole OF Europe was brought at least 10 a
very marrow geographical issue. Central Italy was the
point of collision between the two thunder clouds, and
the spot where the eye might look for the first streak OF
red flame. o o To the vulgar eyo-and We do
not pretend ourselves 10 see further into the mind Of an
Emperor than the rest Of the world-this Is a trial Of
strength. France and Austria are the two great powers
that rival one another in this part Of the world. The
mastery of the continent Is the prize, and IN that mastery
are contained solid rewards but 1t is at Rome that tho
struggle hnds an occasion and a field. Q Q o

less surprising, assurance, from the lips OF Mr., Disaeli,
that France and Austria have agreed 10 withdraw their
forces from the Papal States, and leave the model govern
ment 10 It's own favor with its people, They have dis
covered that it is possible, or within the bounds OF hope,
that the little realm blessed with an actual theocrscy may
go ON as peaceably as any other small State. H. is not
expressly stated how Rome is to be left, and how the Sc
curity OF the Pontih Is TO be provided for. AT all events,
they have consented TO withdraw their armies, and so 10

Tho whole world will rejoice 20 hear what, In TACT, Is a
reprieve 10 millions of lives, doomed otherwise TO perish
in the cause of Catholic piety aud ambition. Even in
this island we seem to feel securer and TO sit easier. For
our defence, indeed, we must still do our best, for that
rests with ourselves. England must not be at the mercy
Of negotiation, or find herself unarmed 10 the ~neighbot-
hood of a continent under arms, and. II not at war, on
its very eve. Who knows how soon powers that have
quarrelled for ambition, and made up for convenience,
may make a common cause against us Should they
ever do 30, they must find us prepared.

THE IMPENDING STRUGGLE IN EURopE

The INTENDING SIRUGGLE In EUROPE.
The impression is so strong throughout the coun-
try that a long peace is impossible on the basis of
existing and conflicting European interests, that lit
tie heed is given to the fearful signs of war which
come from the other side of the water. It is a re-
markable fact that Lord Palmerston, Lord John Rus
sell, and Mr.. DIsraeli, representing the three partisan
interests of British politics, concur in the opinion
that Lord Cowley's mission to Vienna viii remove
the Italian difficulty SO as to enable Austria to re-
cede from her present position. The New York
Herald furnishes us with a suggestive "reminiscences
touching the policy Of Austria
Those who remember the crafty diplomacy OF Austria
Juring the events that led to the Crimean war, will
probably, like ourselves, feel faith in her ability to ex-
tricate herself from the em~barrassments in which she is
lust now placed. It will be recollected how she played
fast and loose, aud doubled and shifted in the negotia-
tons that preceded the breaking out of hostiities, From
August, 1853, when the first Vienna note was declined
by the Porte, down to the Conference at Olmutz, where
the Car tried his personal influence over the young EN-
peror Francis Joseph, she alternately bamboozled the al
lies and the Russian Emperor, holding the world in the
most anxious suspense, all the while, as TO her intentions,
while she was steadily pursuing her own interests. IL Is
now notorious that she might have prevented the war al
together but the game that she was playing was not
Compatible with such a result. We have only 10 count
up the gains which she made by her diplomacy on the
eastern question to appreciate the motives that influenced
her ccmduct all through. She isolated Prussia, her rival
in the Germanic confederation, neutralized her influence

RETURN or THE UNCLE SAM
trrom the San Francisco National. Of Feb. IAN.

[Frcm the San Francisco National. OF Feb. i4thJ -
The steamer Uncle Sam, chartered to carry United
States troops, pack mules, baggage, ammunition, proyis-
ions, &c, to the Colorado river, and which sailed on the
lltb inst, was suddenly caught about II O'Clock the same
night, when nearly forty miles from the Heads in a so
we're south-easterly gale. As il was found almost impos-
sible to keep her head to wind, il was deemed e~xpedient
TO throw overheard some forty tons of barley, oyer 100
hall barrels of pork, about forty bales of hay, and some
| 1000 sacks of coal, also spars, and valuable trunks be,
longing to the officers. About midnight the violence Of
the hurricane abated, and the steamer steered for this
port, where she arrived last Saturday morning. Tho
scene on board with some 500 souls was frigbtful. We
are pleased to hear that our friends, Lieut.. James II.
Merryman, of the revenue cutter VIM. L. Marcy, and
MIR. Tilghmnn, Doth guests rendered most distinguished
service throughout this battle with the wild waves. Tho
Captain, officers and crew Of the steamship acted with
cool lntrepldity, and Col. Hoffman, his officers and com
mand, did brave service. The amount of property sacr'
feed is stated Mt about SIS, 900. The Uncle Sam, upon
returning, transferred her troops to the Cortez. Both
vessels are lying alongside Mission st. wharf. The form.
er is very little damaged by the terrific force of the waves,
and this speaks well for her build. .

THE POSTAL REVENUES.

We publish in another column an able discussion
nues for carrying on the service, from an opposite
standpoint from that taken in the communication
which we published the other day. The question
is worthy Of a thorough analysis from both sides of
the controversy. . "a
The contingency of an extra session of Congress-
does NOT, however, depend alone upon a negative de-
cision of this question. 1t is to be considered whether
Congress can be convened in time to avert the evils
which the department. must suffer by the failure of
the annual postal bill and whether, if convened in
the summer, it would address itself promptly and eC-
icaciously to the ~exigency which called it together
1t is thought by many, we might safely say by
nine-tenths of the democratic members of the next
Congress, who were members of the last, that the
service of the department may be carried on by
means of certificates which would be available in The
money markets for cash in the hands of contractors
and officers engaged in the service. 1t is not unu-
sual for certificates to be issued in the absence of
appropriations, which, without binding the govern
ment as by contract, merely set forth the fact
eff service rendered, and the compensation due I'M
der existing law, or usual in such cases.
At all events, we are satisfied that the administra-
ton viii endeayor to avoid, if possible, a resort so
Objectionable to the great body of the democracy of
the country, as an extra session and that it will only
determine upon such a measure under the compul-
sion Of absolute necessity,

Il QUEER PETITION.
Extract from n foreign letter.

In the lower house of the Prussion legislature the other
day o petition was presented from certain persons residing
on the banks of the Rhine, representing the damage
arising to their little estates arising by alluvion caused
by the steamers plying the river. They estimate that
in the aggregate some Is, 900 acres of shore land, valued
at five millions of dollars, have been washed down by
the action of the waves, and they want navigation at GER
tain stages of tho water discontinued, or to have q wall
built along both banks of the river. The petitioners ask
compensation for damages accrued.
This is a sensible move and fully matches the wisdom
which sometimes illustrates our congressional ''cham-
bers." Tho house, however, thought it would not do
thus to immerse ''our own free German Rhine and the
petition was laid on the table.

hour he had received intelligence of the success Of the
negotiations with the government, and that q guarantee

The guarantee will not be unconditional, as from the
numerous applications the government have decided on
