From the Washington Republic
Cobb again Victorious.

No extra session viii be vailed. Mr.. Buchan-
an has again suffered dele9t at the hands of his
own Administration. The South has dictated
to him policy subversive of the Constitution
and of law, and he has submitted Such an ex-
hibition of weakness and imbeeility on the part
of an Executive officer has rarely been Witness
ed, as the history of Mr. Buchanan during the
last two years presents. Vacillating between
the honest convictions ofhis own judgment and
the policy dictated by his Southern masters, he
has finally yielded to the latter in every instance,
or has been defeated in Congress by Southern
votes.
First committed to the policy Of Gov Walker
in Kansas, he went over TO the Lecomptonites
at the oidding of jeff Davis Here he was de
feated in Congress, after the expenditure of
thousands of dollars by his friends to carry the
measure. Recommending protective tariff for
the interests of his own State, he was defeated
BY the policy of his own Secretary Of Finance.
His recommendations, for the payment of the
Amistad claim, for the purchase of Cuba, and
for power to establish protectorato over Mexi-
co and Central America, were defeated in Con-
gress, or passed by with contemptuous silence.
These were all measures of Southern origin
The agricultural college bill, the homestead bill,
the old soldiers pension bill, the st. Clair flats
bill, and all measures looking TO improvements
the South or vetoed by the President The Post
Office appropriations were also defeated by the
South, and now the proposition of the President
for an extra session, to provide means for the
Department, is kille by the same Southern in
huences. ..
The country must arrive at the conclusion that
Mr.. Buchanan is President only in name Cobb,
Floyd, Slidell, Benjamin, and Bright, "a South.
ern man from Indiana,) each in turn exercise
the Executive prerogatiyes. The plan now is,
to carry on the Post Office Department by an
adroit evasion of the revenue and Post Office
laws. If contractors want money, they will be
told to borrow it, and when the lender demands
security, tell him to write the Department, which
will reply, stating the amount of service which
has been performed under contract, and the
amount Ofmoney due for the same. 1t will also
state that appropriations will be asked from
Congress covering these amounts, and when
made, the contractors will receive their pay
| Wherein this method differs from an issue OF
certificates of service, containing the same in,
formation, and which might be made tranfera.
BILE by endorsement and assignment, we are at a
loss to discover. 1t appears to us only a new
way of anticipating the appropriations which
| Congress is expected to make.
| Judge Holt, it is said, has reconside1ed his
decision to resign, end concluded to assist his
friend Buchanan, while at least, in the service
of Cobb and Company. ..f
The vote in the Cabinet is reported to have
stood as follows;
For an extra session-BuehRnan, Black, Holt
Against it--Cobb, Floyd, Thompson, Toucey
No Opinion-Cass.

MORNING LEADER.
War in China---Napl,in Bombarded.


The Overland Mail brings dates from Hong
Kong to the 10th of January. The Press hints
that there is danger of the war between China
and the allies being commenced again. A large
force is kept IN garrison near Canton and the
allies had started out to attack it.
Lord Elgin started on the sth November, to
explore the Yang-tze- Kiang, the Mississippi OF
Canton. He took with him the steam frigates
Furious and Retribution, the steam sloop Cruiser
and gun boats Lee and Doul On the Goth the
expedition reached Nankin, where long fortiG-
cations lined the west branch Of the river. An
account says:
Lord Elgin desired TO avoid collision, and
sent gun.boa in advance with a flag of truce,
but the rebels fred upon it, and the English
vessels then steamed past the town under a
heavy fire, which they returned with interest
This was late in the afternoon. The feet
stopped not far above the town, and the next
morning the Britons went back to finish the af-
fair one way or another
A heavy bombardment was opened with
shot, shell and rocket upon the forts and the
city. The Chinese maintained by no means
despicable cannonade The Furious got doz-
en- heavy shot in her hull Only one English
man was killed and two wounded. At the end
of about an hour the forts were completely
silenced.
Not far above Nankin the Retribution had TO
stop, the river not being deep enough for her
The other steamers went on to the great city of
Hankon, 620 miles from the mouth of the river
After spending week there, whero they saw
and heard many strange things, they started
back on the 18th of December, but they found
on their way down, that the river had fallen six
OF eight feet, and the water was only ten feet
deep, so the result was that the Furious and the
Cruiser had to be left about 420 miles above
the mouth of the river. The crews stay on
board. The river will rise in the spring
When Lord Elgin was passing Nankin, on his
way down, the rebels assured him that the Eng
lish should thereafter be allowed to come and 60
in peace.

The WANDERER's NEGROES AND THE GovERN-
"A statement in the Savannah Republic
can, said to be from reliable authority, brings
home to the Government at Washington some
serious responsibility in the disposition of the
negroes imported in the Wanderer a number
of them were captured in Worth county, Ca,
by the Deputy U. S. Marshal, Mr.. McRae who
sent at once to the Marshal at Savannah for in
stTuctions' The Marshal replied that he had
telegraphed to Washington in regard to them,
but had received no answer; that the Govern
