The appointment of the Earl of Elgin as
the British Plenipotentiary Extraordinary to
the Government of China, affords grounds to
hope that the threatened war may be aver
ted. The voice Of the English nation is I'M
doubtedly for peace: and according TO secret
advice from Pekin. the Chinese Emperor is
disposed to make every reasonable conces-
sion, Notwithstanding the war preparations
appear to be still going on in England and
France.

The European troubles are extensively
discussed in the European papers. The
opinion is fast gaining ground that another
and a more extensive war than that between
France and Austria will be required before
the political complications of Europe can be
adjusted, and, among the wisest and best in
formed politicians, it is considered only
question of time when this will happen.

CONVENTION OF YoUNG Men s CHRISTIAN
AssoCIATIoNS.--We have before announced
that this convocation takes place at New
Orleans on the lIth of April next. Five
hundred delegates are expected to attend
The City Hotel there has been engaged for
delegates until they 90 to private houses,
and the establishment engages TO entertain
p delegates free during the session. \
friend furnishes us the following informa-
ton, which will be interesting to those at
tending this Conventions:
Delegates will be returned free over both
the great routes leading to New Orleans,
viz: The Mississippi line, which connects
Jackson with the Tennessee lines, and the
Mobile line. which connects with the Geor
gia Railroads. 1t is said that over the for
mer route the trip from New York to New
Orleans will be made, by the lst Of April, in
less than .toM days. Some of the Louis
vile packets have agreed to take delegates
down the river at two-thirds their usual rates,
and all the lines, it is expected will do
the same; while, by an arrangement made
with the steamer Emerald" by the Cincin-
matt Association, delegates will be taken from
that city and back for $50, with the privilege
of boarding on the steamer while in New
Orleans, if they desire to do so. This steam
er leaves Cincinnati on the Sd April, at p
NJ and New Orleans, on her return trip,
on the 10th or l7th--occupying thus about
three weeks, and giving ample time for
members to attend all the sessions of the
Convention.

The late and most injurious of all detected
swindles. is that of splitting gold coin taking
out the inside gold. and filing the interior
with some other composition. This is done
with such care and nicely il is said, that the
coin shall appear genuine, and shall be Of
the same size and even thickness OF the true
coin, and yet weigh as much.

The New York Courier and Enquirer" of
the 10th, says: Eve learn from a satisfactory
source in Paris that the French government
were advised that Spain has agreed to sell
Cuba to the United States. Everything was
arranged except the price, about which there
was some little difference of opinion" This
is certainly very important news-if true.

A gambler, known as Mountain Jack, per-
formed an extraordinary fact of physical
strength a few nights ago, in the bar-room
OF the ST. Charles Hotel. New Orleans,
where a large number of the carnival revelers
had assembled A drunken fellow, dressed
in Indian costume, rode horse into the bar
room, and dismounted TO take drink, and
while at the bar another drunken fellow
climbed into the saddle. Mountain Jack, as
his name indicates, is giant in size, six
feet seven inches high, finely proportional,
and possessed OF enormous strength, even be-
yond his colossal proportions. He was at
the time on a spree, and fancy selling him,
he stopped over the horse, placed his right
arm around his belly just behind his fore
legs, and lifted the animal off his legs rider
and all, and threw them heavily upon the
floor, with shock that Jared the whole
house. On finding himself down, the horse
refused TO get up, and the giant again laid
hold of him and set him upon his pins, in or
der TO release the bruised and hapless rider,
who had fallen partly under the beast and
who considered himself lucky to escape with
out broken benes. Later in the day Jack
got to throwing tumbiers promiscuously,
and was arrested by the united efforts of about
twenty men.

The Charleston papers says that five dol
lars day." considering the great expenses
gone to, is not too much for the visitors to
the Charleston Convention to pay. They are

Popular Sovereignty.

IIarper's Magazine for September last not
only asserts the right OF the people of Ter
ritory 20 form and regulate their domestic
institutions in their own way" but declares
that such right was expressly conceded by
the Compromise Of 80, the Kansas act Of
81, and the Democratic platform IF '5G, and
I that the decision Of the Supreme Court, in
the bred Scott case, did not negative the
concession.
To assert such q right from such premises,
is certainly illogical and but little in keep
ing with the prctentious bearing Of the Lit
tie Giant as an asprant for the Presidency.
- prove this, it is only necessary, we APP
prchcud. d examine the tenor Of the Com
promise If 50, which the Kansas act and
the Democratic platform merely reiterate,
