The MONROE DOCTRINE IN FRANCE.-The Paris
Paric, protests against the doctrine that Eu-
rope is not to interfere in the affairs of this con-
tineut. and scouts the Monroe doctrine. 1t
concludes long article on the subject as fol-
lows
The United States will not effect in the world
what powerful Russia, with her army of mil
lion men, with her fleets, with the genius of her
Cars, and with the dicipline and tenacity of
her inhabitants, has not been able to do in Eu-
rope They will not succeed in contesting her
legitimate share of in1unce wherever she may
usefully exercise it. We do not at all intend
to oppress them but they must know that Eu-
rope will not allow herself either to exclude or
humiliate. 1t is necessary that they should
know that we will not abandon either in the
Atlantic the Mediterranean or the Black sea,
the cause of right aud civilization.
The Nevada Democrat., 1859-01-05

MOUNTAIN RELIEF SocIETY.-The miners and
other residents of the ridge, we learn from the
Hydraulic Press, have organized mutual relief
society, under the above name. The object Of
the society is to assist the distressed and suffer
ing among its own members, the funds for this
purpose to be raised by monthly dues of one dol
lar from each member Any person residing
on the Ridge, between the Middle and South
Yuba, in sound health at the time of applying,
may become member All members Of the
society are entitled to medical and surgical at
tendance, and all other 'necessaries, during
sickness, without any charge or expense to
himself The objects of this society are CON-
mendable and humane, and 1t would be we'll il
similar institutions were established in all the
mining sections of the State.

DOUGLAS IN New ORLEANs.-The New Or
leans True Delta, in referring TO the reception
of Senator Douglas in that city, says:
That Douglas could carry the democracy of
this State with him in any mere party contest,
in defiance of all combinations, no one will dis
pute; above all others he is the first choice of
Louisiana and will be the candidate of his par
ty here above all competitors, and should there
be, as it is feared, in 1860, a sectional contest,
or rather contest between fanaticism on one
eide, and State rights democracy on the other;
there cannot be doubt Of Douglas receiving
the undivided vote Of Louisiana, either before
nominating convention or before the whole
people, Indeed already on every lip we hear
the desire expressed to bring Douglas immedi-
ately forward as the national candidate for the
Presidency in 1860; and. at this moment, nine
ty-nine Of every hundred of our population
would gladly hail the announcement of his
name for that truly great, but now sadly abus-
ed trust,

ARRIVAL OF THE OVERLAND MAm.-The over.
land mail, by the central route, arrived at Sac
ramento, Jan. 1st, having left st. Joseph. the
eastern terminus, Dec. 14th. The trip was
made from Salt Lake to Placerville in sever
days. The Presidents message was brought
through by this mail, the carriers having pro-
cured copy at St. Louis Dec. 9th. From St.
Joseph, the trip was made in good time, but
some detention must have occurred between
that place and st. Louis. The news by this ar
rival is some days later than any heretofore re.
ceived, but the intelligence is mot of impor
tance. The stock on the central route is said
to be in good condition, and the snow offers no
barrier to the rapid transmission of the mail.
The Nevada Democrat., 1859-01-05

FAvoRTTIsM.-The Washington correspond
ent of the Alta, writing Dec. 3d. stated the Pres
ident had refused, up to that time, copy of
his message to go by the Central overland route
via Salt Lake, but had furnished copy in ad-
vance to go by the Southern route. This state
ment was not deemed credible, but it has been
corroberated by later arrival. The contract
ors on each route had made arrangements to
express the message through in the shortest
possible time, supposing of course that the car
riers at st. Louis would leave the same day.
The message left, however, by the southern
route, on the morning of the 9th while the
agents Of the central route were not able to pro-
cure copy until the 9th, when it was publish
ed IN the papers of that city. 1t was brought
through by the latter company, from ST. Louis
to Sacramento, in twenty-five days. The ST..
Louis Republican complains that the message
was forwarded in advance to some of the cities
to be given to the press as soon as telegraph
was received that the document was before
Congress, while it was not forwarded to other
places of equal Importance. We can scarcely
believe that the President would SO belittle
himself as to show such marked partialty for
one of the rival routes, but as the matter now
