A vigorous attempt j. being made here and else
where to excite popular odum against Arizona. The
mfuing interest 10 that section is made the special
object Of attack, and epthets by no means compli-
mentary to the honesty Of the owners OF Arizona
mining stock are banded about. Lieut.. Mowry ap-
pears for the defense in Of our city papers, but
other papers do not copy him. # the sincerity Of
the Arizonians is to be called in question: there are
also just grounds for doubling whether the exertions
Of those offered to Arizona are prompted BY pure
philAnthrophy and zeal for the the public welfare.
The papers announce the purchase In New York Of
The steamers for the Pacific side Of the Tehuantepec
Transit, to which allusion made In former let
ter OF athis correspondence Senator Benjamin,
believe, ia still in New York. The excitement in
your State In regard to his seat in the Senate, finds
no audible echo here. King Sldell, however, is at
work. see him frequently at Browns hotet-an un-
usual sight, and one that betokens something.
new Presidential ticket is talked of, viz: Lane
fol President, Bocock for vice-Presdent. Lanes
supporters are to my knowledge, numerous and en-
thusiastic. No man has more warm personal friends
than General Joe. By the way, General Joe is in
some difficulty about Oregon. BE has appeared in
the public prints announcing his conviction that the
present population Of Oregon amounts nearly, or
quite, to 90000-and close to the heels Of this an
nouncement comes an item, BY the last California
mail, to the effect that the census Of Oregon, just
taken, foots mp only ~ 1852.
OF all the Virginia delegation Bocock stands fore.
most in the line Of promotion. Vice President, if
Lane is nominated Secretary Of the Navy if Hunter
il elected with fair chance Of election to the next
Speakership. His position is anenviable one.
We have wars and rumors Of wars and insurrec.
tons il Cuba and Central America, and rumors quite
to the contrary II will be time enough to pay atten-
ton to these rumors when new and not senile Ad-
ministraton comes in. One fact, and to my thinking,
only one, gives Significance to the Vaccinations Of
Messrs. Belly and Ouseley and that is the necessity
Louis Napoleon labors under, Of giving employment
to bis army. Work in China is finished, the fortified.
tions at Cherbonrg complete, France is at peace
with all the world. Something must be done. Why
not try Central America, an entirely new field, for the
glory Of France 7
The extinction Of the Dominican Republic is said to
be decided upon by Napoleon but cannot think SO.
Louis Napoleon is white man, removed as far as
possible from fanaticism and no white man, outside
Of England and Yankeedom, ever yet desired to sup
press whites for the benefit Of blacks.
Greeley is trying to get up continuation Of the
old hemorrhage in Kansas. He proclaims the exist
ence of civil war in Southern Kansas the massacre
Of FreeState men by the ProSlavery people of Fort
Scott and all that twaddle This is to help Kansas
into the Union. Meantime, the democracy are at
work in behalf Of Oregon, come Of the members
swearing they will not vote for the Charleston nomi
nee, unless Oregon is brought in this session.
Opinions seem to be verging towards belief that
the Old Soldiers bill will pass the Senate despite the
effect it will have upon the question Of the Tariff.

Pacific Railroad bill through the Senate, but the pros
pect Of harmonizing the House upon any number of
routes less than three is as doubtful as ever.
A beautiful mystery hangs over the whereabouts Of
the emigrants who went out in the Susan, and the
papers from here to Boston are generally exercised
about it. The rabd Of the abolition prints de.
clare that the headquarters of fbusersm is at the
White. House. It is not true-is it, Mr.. Paulding
Is it, Mr.. Mcintosh?
Speaker Orr is anticipating Douglas in New York.
Mr. Speaker Orr it is well known, has taken the ad
vice Of the retired physician" and made up his mind
to quit politics and to get to be President Wise is
playing his usual desperate game The Enquirer, Of
course, mouths his praise. The Richmond correspond
ent Of the New York Herald is Wises "obedient,
humble servant" and the New York correspondent of
the Enquirer Is writing up Wise with energy truly
rnaniacal Wise himself is writing in strain of by
aercal pety that supasses the best performances of
the camp meetings. See his letter in the Savannah
Republican. Altogether it is the most farical desper
ate and transparent game ever played.
The Boston Advertiser gets up good old dry thing
