The Paris correspondent Of the London
News, writing Jan. 4th, says:
have heard to-day piece Of news to
which ! attach just sufficient importance to
think il worth repeating, but without Of all
pledging my belief ia its truth. The rumor
10 that, there being little likelihood OF con-
gress, France and England, with the consent
or oonnivance Of Russia and Prussia, will
attempt to settle the Italian question. To
this end negotiations are TO be set ON foot
which may perhaps resuit 10 giving Savoy
and Nice 70 France, and Central Italy, ln-
cluding, Of course, the RomAgnas,) TO the
King Of Sardinia. Lord Cowlsy's journey
TO London is supposed to be connected with
this project.

II may have struck some AZ q little singu-
lar that the objection of JEFF. Davis TO Doug
lass proposition, founded on the Harper's
Ferry business, should have been that he
was opposed to putting into the hands Of
the President more complete power to "sup-
press conspiracies Davis 10 a strict con-
structionist. He naturally inclines to re-
strain rather than to enlarge the powers Of
the President and the General Government;
yet in every thing pertaining to slavery and
it's interests he has been as liberal and loose
q eonstructionist as any man in the country.
1t would be too great stretch of charity,
therefore, to set down his opposition to the
Douglas measure to the credit Of honest
strict construction principles. Another rea-
son would appear more likely, and We be-
lieve il to be true. The South generally
seem to anticipate the election of Republi-
can President in the coming campaign. jeff.
Davis has given limitations Of the same ex-
pectation. And be does not want Repub-
lican President invested with powers TO
SUPPRESS coSsPIRAorEs. He himself is con-
spirator. The leading men in the Demo-
cratic party at the South, in no small degree
sustained and encouraged by the Democracy
OF the North, are gradually oonfessing Q
widespread and devastating conspiracy, and
contemplate the EXTREMIST measures. Po-
iitical Sagacity quite as much rs political
Virtue prompted the objection Of Senator
Davis.

The Lennon case.

g..s 4sg3s Of Virginia in the courts Of New
2ssx, 10 maintain the right Of holding
esr-@s i'm transit through free State, was
!assiy argued before the Court Of Appeals.
The Court reserved its opinion, which will
be given at the next session. The Supreme
Court from which ii was appealed, sustained
the discharge Of the slaves, which had been
effected upon writ Of habsas corpus. The
Court Of Appeals will doubtless affirm the
decision Of the Supreme Court. In tina.

The Breckenridge organs call upon the people OF the
Southern States TO support Breckenridge because ne
alone can defeat Lincoln This sheer nonsense Breck
nrdge has not even the ghost Of chance for single
electoral vote outside Of South Carolina and t so plain
that he who runs may read that every vote given to
Breckinridge is vote for Lincoln The fact is apparent
that if Lincoln should be elected It win be by reason Of
the maintenance OF the Breckinridge ticket in the sld
II is now seryceable In no other way This is admitted
by the candid men among his supporters In recent
letter, Col Orr, Of South Carolina late Speaker OF the
House Of Representatives and ardent disunion DEM
ocrat, says:
"whie shall give to Breckinridge and Lane the
nominees Of the Baltimore ConvenhOn-gentlemen Of
tried patriotism and sound principles hearty and cor
dial support prospect OF their election, either
BY the people or otherwise"
This is ally the opinion Of the majority Of the lead
ers Of the Yaneey- Breckenridge faction. They do net
expect to elect Breckenridge but they support him in or
der 10 insure the election Of Lincoln and thus furnish
protext for secession movement the part Of the cot
ton States It is susceptible Of demonstration that
the rup,ure of the Democratic NetonA Convention the
division of the Democratic party, the maintenance oil
distinct Breckinridge and Lane tickets in debateable
Northern States and the whole Of the Breckenridge
party leaders are only parts of programme deliberate

union league and the Phrenzed 6reeaters Of the South
such as Yancey and Keit and Orr and Rhett and Boyce
and their confederates in plotting disunon and the &C.

We have always believed that should Lincoln be elect
ed, be wocld continue the present Democrats eth'e
holders in the South in cse and think it quite pro-
bable that nOoe Of them would decline to serve. We
have seen nothing from any Of them yet to cause Us to
abandon or modify this opinion. On The other hand we
have seen something to strengthen IT, The fre-eatiug

ing interrogaiory
"Do YOU believe that a Southern can bold Office

In response, the AvalaHehs said

an urjusabls ,Ort to drag the private affairs OF the
ser Tor editor Of this paper into this discussion, and We

We venture to predict that not one in thousand OF
al the Democratic oceholders in the South will decline
to continue in Cce in the event OF LineOns election

bad formally rendered my resignation in the public

is true. as he had been informed that did think at
one time Of resgning my in the Senate and 30 ex-
pressed myself friends both in James City and the ad-
Joining cOunties and had the proclamation of the Gov
ernor calling an session. been earlier 10 the year.
rIlJrding ample time for Convention that would have
fairly represented every portion Of the District, should
haze doas so. REJECTION however, has satisfied me- un-
der the circumstances, that it Is my duty to submit to
temporary Inconvenience Of absence from home rather
than uh the entire district the necessity Of holding
alother Convention and election at this inclement season
Of the year. and such have determined not to resign
