The Senate, (says the Tribune,) is working away on the Cuba project gravely as though every one did not know tito be sheer electoneering dodge and very transparent at that If the Opposition should generally withhold their votes, and let the S30 GOO 900 be voted the President would be worse off than the man who won an elephant at rafae for he might have had the beast shot and sold his hide.

eS The Temperance movement in this village is Joyfully received throughout the county. We have letters from gentlemen of high standing in several of the towns, some of whom have heretofore been considered indifferent to the cause expressing them selves highly gratined, and determined to follow up in their several localities, this eot at the center of the county. No prosecutions have yet been deemed necessary here, as the sale has apparently ceased but handsome fund, to which liberal subscriptions have been made by our leading citizens, has been placed at the disposal of the Committee of Twelve, who will make judicious use of it, if occasion re- quires.
 The public journals also notice this movement with approbation, of which the following are sam ples:
 Litchfcld appears to be aroused, and this move ment by me ol ali parties and professions indicates that with the trade there. patience has ceased to be a virtue.-Conhea,cMP Press.
 A Coop MovE.-Nearly all the principal citizens of Litchted H of both political parties, have join ed ill common movement for the suppression of in temperance in that town.

The whole com munity seems golng deliberately to work to arrest the monstrous evil in that Heaven-favored but rum stricken town. What extreme measures will be re- sorted to after the example of those who have now pledged themselves against the use and traffic does not yet appear, but good men through all this sec ton must follow thcir efforts with hearty soulfelt approval, and that their examples and efforts may be successful in that and adjoining towns, is con summation to be most devoutly prayed and worked for. That intemperance is fearfuy on the increase is too apparent. While Litcheld leads other towns should not be slow to foliow.- W,lsted Herald

For several months past it has been rumored on good authority that the relations between the Courts of Paris and Vienna far from cordial, and that the warlike preparations which were madein France during the past year and which alarmests in England erroneousy considered dangerous to the contian- ance of the Anglo French alliance, were in reality, meant as provisions for the not very remote conin- gency of aquarrel between France and Austria in re-
 gard to the Italian question: These runors have re- gently received an alarming, becaure authoritative confirmation. Itappears that fear of war between France and Austria, had caused great excitement in London and Paris, especially among dealers in the public funds-and general decline had taken place

RuMoR OF MR. ToucEYs WITHDRAWAL FROM THE CABINEr.-The special dispatch from Washington to the N. Y. Times of Saturday, 18th, says:
 Rumors are current here to-day of serious mis- understanding yesterday among some members of the Cabinet. which may lead to the withdrawal of MT. of sloop- war No. 2 at Philadelphia Norris < Brother charge on oath that Reaney, Neafe & Co.,, the successful competitors, were privately informed by the Department of the amounts of the other bids filed, and were thus enabled to underbd all others The matter was finally referred to the President and the Attorney General who sustained Secretary Tou- cey, and vindicated the action of his Department D

MoRPHY AND ANDERsoN.-The following descrip tion of the personal appearance of the two great chess players may not be uninteresting at the time:
 Nothing could be more unlike than the physique of the two players MT Morphy is a frail small boy with fine face and head, and modest, almost tim id air Prof Anderssen, on the contrary, is tall man slim. about fifty years of age, with small balt head, slight stoop in the shoulders, lively black eyes, a clean shaved face, and 8 decidedly German cast of features. He is quiet gentlemanly man with sympathetic expression of the face, which i'm meately predisposes in his favor. During the firs game, NJ. Andersen moved much more rapidly thar MT Morphy. Not word was spoken by either play CT during the whole seven hours. No demonstra ton false moves were made by either party to in. dicate his plans There seemed to be more origin ality. genius, more of the imprevu in Mir M, r. phys moves. and more of study and experience in those of M. Andersen. The two men evidently mre nearly matched than they ever were before.
