when Il il remembered, tia although unpublished.
this decree had been virtually In force for SIX years.
and that all the Labor Of the expeditions WAS thar
OF slaves, necessarily ignorant OF the french Ian
guage. On the Sth July 1860. decree opens the
Custom Houses Of Southern Algeria 70 the free ad'
mission OF the commerce Of Soudan, and The report
Of the Colonial Minister speaks of the vast horizons
then opening to France" On the 3lst OF the same
month land Office is established by imperial
decree and the Colonial Minister aludes to the vast
and populous regions placed at their disposition,
and compares them to the unpeopled territories Of
the United States. Commencing, also, with the ar
rival Of the aforementioned expedition in Africa
in 1854 will be found in the same paper a multi
plicity of DEGREES lover fifty in number dispensing
medals and decorations for military services in
Senegal. In addition to this it may be remarked,
that Abyssnia has lately sunk under the protec-
torate of France. French military expeditions
both from Algeria and Senegal have IN the past
few years penetrated to the heart Of Africa, and
those who read her official journals must be per-
fectly aware that her designs upon that continent
have latteny assumed gigantic proportions. The
fate Of Egypt consequent upon the late Syrian CON-
pcations and that Of Morocco upon those OF the late
Spanish war are more than dubious But the world
should be startled at an early day, by the arrival
of new maps of Africa, dressed exclusively in
French coiors, from the Mediterranean to the
equator, and from the Atlantic to the Indian Ocean,
let not their surprise be imputed as fault to any
omission on the part Of the correspondents of the
HERAIp. Ten years ago the sybeuine leaves of
the " Memorial above alluded to plainly fore.
Swallowed these results as demonstrate possibli-
ties. To day they are maturing realities.
But apart from the revolutions, political and
geogra phical, which this vast provincial empire Is
working out upon the continent Of Africa, its inan-
cial Developments are certainly far more extra
ordinary. Indeed they transcend all that Is to be
found in previous history.
The gold coinage Of the United States which
only once before 1884 attained the sum Of a mil
lion Of dollars (namely in IS2o), will be found from
that date until its receipts from California (save
the exceptional year lS47, during which SIT ,oO0,-
900 Of Mexican gold coin, acquired during the
war. was sent to the minD to present growing
but moderate increment in its amount. This in
crement bore more or less steady ratio with the
foreign trade. That of France and England will
be found subject to the same conditions. at length
the minis Of the United States and England felt the
effects of the California and Australian mines;
not however until two or three years after their
respective discoveries. But in these effects the
French minis can be scarcely said TO have partici
pated with equal promptitude. The late coinage

one most critical period Of her proceedings she
stood for time upon the very brink of defeat.

Mr.. BnEcKrNRIpeE,s REcoRp.-

Mr. BRECKNRIDGE's REcORD- In
lS49 as we learn from the Louisville Journal when
delegates to be elected to the State Convention
for Kentucky, the question of negro emancipation
was the chief topic of discussion, and Mr.. Breckln-
ridge as that paper is informed cast his vote for
an emancipation candidate. A little before that
time the question of the Presidency being be-
fore the country, he was the leading spirit OF
meeting which strongly recommended that the DEM
ocratic party as well as the Wing party should be
utterly ignored and put down by the American
people, and was member of the committee which
reported resolutions supporting Zachary Taylor
Nashville Banner, July 20.
The Banner readily picks up any thing that may
be unfavorable to Mr.. BRECKENRIDGE. Let US see if
will be as ready to do him justice. The Lexington
(Ky.) Statesman of the oath has the following
The Louisville Democrat charges that Mr.. Brock
inridge took part in the canvass of lS4S between
Taylor and Cass and voted for one, being absent
from the polls on the day of election. When Mr..
Breckenridge returned from Mexico in the Summer
of lS46, the far progressed, but he i'm
mediately entered upon the arena and canvassed
actively for Gen. Cass, making number of speeches
and earnestly advocating and largely contributing
to his election. If he was not there to take part
earlier in the canvass it because he was peril
ing life and health in the service of his country
upon the plains of Mexico. We imagine he will not
be much censured by Kentuckians for that. On the
day of election Mr.. Breckenridge was in Laurel
county, where he had just gone a few days before
on hunting excursion. At that time he had right
to at any place he happened to be in Kentucky
There were nine gentlemen in the hunting party,
eight of whom were for Taylor and one (Alr. b.
for Cass. The eight agreed not to go the polls if
Mr.. Breckenridge would not but all would have
voted for Taylor had he voted for Cass He agreed
to pair off with the eight and thus did not vote.
Had every Democrat IN Kentucy done as much for
Cass as did Mr.. Breckenridge, the State would have
gone for Cass by an overwhelming majority. So
much for that SANDER.
1t is again charged that Mr.. Breckenridge voted
the emancipation ticket in IS49. The facts he
was in that year candidate the pro SLAVERY ticoe
for the Legislature and opposed the Emancipation cause
from every stump in the country. He vOted against
his uncle Rev. R. J. Breckenridge. and Mr.. Shy, who
were the emancipation candidates. for the convention
So much for that SANDER.

Inviting Proposition.

1t seems to us that if Douglas had onetenth of the
strength his braggers claim for him, they would
lose no time in taking up the following very invit
ing propositions. which are authorized by Il re-
sponsibe party to offer
$1,000 that Breckenridge beats Douglas in Ken
lucky 1000 votes.
81 900 that he beats him 5000 votes.
81 900 that he beats him 10000 votes.
$1,000 that Breckenridge carries the State.
$1,000 that not one State can be named that will
go for Douglas.
All to etaken together.
The above propositions will be increased or di-
minishei in amount to suit applicants. Louisville
Courier.
BETTNG-A gentleman from Scott county staked
So 600 in this city to-day, the proposition that
Breckenridge would carry Kentucky in November.
Louisville gentlemen were the takers. The Scott
county gentleman propose to repeat the bet, but his
offer was not taken.-Lerington (Ky) Statesman.
We saw an axious Breckenridge in town on
Monday, looking for wealthy friend of the firm of
Bell and Everett, whom he expected to meet here
that day in pursuance Of understanding had a
day or two before, to Put up $4,000 upon the pro-
position that that Bell would get more Electoral
votes than Breckenridge. The Bell man did not
make his appearance and probably never will, to

1t is earnestly desired that all who may see this list
will take opportunity to make known the time
nd place of the first appointments particulorI, =,
there is but a very short time between this and ,to
9th August. There are some places omitted. which
the gentlemen who made the appointments would
have been glad to have put in the list but it was
impossibe to do so without doing great injustice to
the speakers.
It would have been desirable to have had an ap-
Monument at Dunlap but the distance between Jasper
and PikeyiIle was such that it was deemed prudent
.bat the speakers should have day to make the
trim. and accustom themselves by degrees to their
labors. It having been so long since there was an
appointment in Rhea it was believed that the eiti-

WboisLeverett SaItonstalll

We propounded the other day some questions 70
ascertain the identity of the LEvEKErr SALToNsrALI
who is President Of the Boston Committee that
has Mr.. EyERErT's correspondence in hand We
asked:
Is he the Leverett Saitonstall that was member
of the Massachusetts Legislature and one Of ne COM
Taiee that reported IN faUor Of calling the Blue Lght
FedTalist Hartford Contention? Is he the LeEereW
Saltonstan that S11S q member Of ne HmyOfd Cosr
Uetion from Massachusetts? Is he the Leyerett Sal
tonstali of Massachusetts that while in Congress
always voted side By side 10Th the soost AboaaonsEs
on the subject Of Abolition Petitions? Is he the same
Leverett SaltOlstan Of Massachusetts, that uoed Tor
Mr.. Bells celebrated Gag Law Is he the same
Leverett Saltonstall that with Mr.. Bell on the
Executive Committee appointed by the Opposition
members Of Congress in ls40i
Having failed to receive any response to those in
Quiries we now ask, Is he the LEyERETT SALToS-
STALL of Massachusetts, who said when a candidate
for Congress in 1888:
..As to the constitutional power of Congress to
abolish slavery in the District of Columbia have
never had any doubt, and did not suppose until re-
Gently that it could be made question, or that the
/ exercise of the power would be opposed on that
ground. L think it clear also, as general princi-
pie. that Congress has power to abolish slavery in
/ the Territories. From what examination have
given the subject, my present opinion is that Con-
gress has the power prohibit the slave trade be-
| tween the States. ! am of opinion thai
Congress ought Immediately to exercise its full con
sttutional powers by efficient legislation on the sub
ject of slavery
Is he the same LEvERETT SALToNsTALL, of Massa
chusetts, who said in 1888?
IL have always considered it sufficient ground
for oGHt of confidence in the President of the United
States, that in entering the duties of his office h'
made the gratuitous declaration, in effect that HI

Affairs in Utah.

GREAT SALT LAKE CITY, June Hardly had the
returning army of Utah passed through the canons
of the ''Wahsatch" mountains, before the Indians
sounded their war whoOp, and the peaceful emf
grants. jOurneyng westward, unconscious of danger
suddenly found themselves surrounded and barbar-
ously murdered. Since the middle of April small
companies have been constantly moving toward Car
son Valley and at the latest advices not had ar
rived and the probability is they have have fallen
victims to the cursed Indians. The Indians. embold-
ened by their last lear, without having any
punishment melted out to them. unawed by the near
presence of large military force, will again this
year repeat their atrocities upon the unfortunate
traveller. Our whole line the emigraHt road,
from Fort Brdger to Fort Hail. is unprotected save
by three companies of dragons, numbering about
one hundred and twenty men, where at least one
thousand requisite to insure safety and protec-
ton. By the road from Bridger TO the sink OF the
Carson, passing the Goose Mountains, there Is not
single military post although the country Is swarm
ing with red skins, and always considered unsafe,
even with large and well organized companies. On
the middle mail route, the late unfortunate dis
asters show the condition of that road.
PROSPECTS OF A GENERAL INDIAN WAR.-lti is evil
dent we are the eve of general Indian war, and
the militia of Utah will undoubtedly be called into
requsition The Indians on the South route to Los
Angeles remain quiet-one reason OF which IS the
small settlements extending down nearly to the
Virgin River atfording protection and security to
the emgrants, and another reason Is, their numbers
are lar less ana Always nave Deen c"hslueIeu iess
hostile. Upon the receipt of intelligence of the late
massacres West, Governor Cumming Immediately
made reouIsition upon Colonel Smith, commanding
at Camp Floyd. A party of mounted men were
started with Mr. II. Eagan, agent of the Western
Mail Company. but the party is so small, only num-
berng sixty men, they can hardly be expected TO
accomplish any good, and rumors have reached here
that they have engaged some bands of Indians, and
have been defeated with large proportOnate loss.
At any rate something has happened. for we have
had no news directly from any point further West
than Ruby Valley for two weeks.
