French Opinions Of the south.

The New Orleans Propagateule Catholique contains
the following extract from pamphlet Oh American
affars," recently published IN Paris:
The best proof of the intellectual superiority Of The
South over the North is the part the former has taken
IN public affairs Notwithstanding its numerical supe-
-lority and the jealousy of its antagonist the Presden-
tls Chair has been filed during oryour years tout Of
seventy-two) by Southern No Orthern man has
been reelected President. TIE South has had two
Presidents elected four times OF thirty-three Presi-
dents of the House of Representatives twentyone
Southerners OF severyseven Presidents of the Sen
ate (Vice President of the Repubc,) the South has
furnished sixtyone. 1t has been the in regard to
ambassadors.
"To the South belongs Washington, Jefferson, Mon
roe, Madison, Patrick Henry, Clay, Marshall men not
less distinguished for their exalted character and noble
qualities OF heart than fer their talents and intelligence
These men not only honor to their country and
TO thsir century, but the glory OF humanity To these
are Ded others as remarkable, but less known IN Eu-
rope-Calhoun, jackson, Randolph Cabell, Maury,
PiuckGey, L0wndes and fancy.
To the eyes of whoever has examined it closely the
South has nothing to envy in any nation in respect to
civilization, rghtmndedneas and elevation of senti
ments.
The women Of the South are tender mothers and
devoted wives. The Cre0eg are equal to the French
ladies IN exquisite grace, distinction sensbity, gene
rosly warmth OF heart and ideas with intelligence OF
all that noble beautiful and coed In the epidemlcs
that have ravaged the Southern coast they have given
thousand proofs of 0exhaustible charity and self
denial, aviShiDg their cares without distinction Of
rank or color. And what is there astonishing in
this similtude between the inhabitants OF the South
and those of country Is not Louisiana OF
French extraction? Did not our religious troubles
take to the South thousands Of families who were
| among the best of France? These families have
taken root there and their has not degenerated
The race has preserved that know not whatOf the
French that never efaces itself. Hundreds of th0us-
ands could be taken from among the first OF those States
where those families of old blood could be counted who
think it an honor to recall the ties which bind them TO
the country of their ancestors. So the South loves
France Of all the nations of Europe ours is with
whom they sympahize the most. There is not family
that does not have its children taught the French Ian
guoge.
France ls then, naturally called upon to pronounce
herself in the quarrel and to take part with the South

gentleman reached this city last evening" from Bal
timore, which city be lett On Saturday last He re-
ports that the statement current that Gen McCe
Ian had been shot, and that Professor n. E. Smith, of
Baltimore, had been sent for to visit him, and reu
sing was imprisoned. Of the fact of Professor Smiths
imprisonment there no doubt though the alleged
reason simply rumOr.
The number of troops around Baltimore does not ex
ceed to eight thousand They stationed part
at Fort McHenry, part at Federal Hill, part al Can
ton, and part at the Relay and some at Franklin Square
The troops who come through from the North are in
squads Of twenty to thirty for the purpose of filling up
companies, etc lhe whole number per week is not
more than few hundred.
The people of Maryland, our informant declares ask
only for Beauregard and Johnston to protect them from
the forces around Washington Let them cross the
Potomac so to prevent sMcClean from throwing
himself upon Baltimore, and the Maryanders will do
the rest.
The feeling at the North is said to have generally
subsidized. Commerce is prostrated, and business at
end. In Pennsylvania particularly, the struggle be-
tween the and the peace parties is very excited.
How long shall Maryland laDguish under the foot OF
the invader?
The news from the South, he says is conveyed over
the river Washington, by the wives of the tories
who have fed from Virginia, and acting as LncOn's
police on the Maryland Shore These women are strange
y allowed to communicate with their husbands and thus
post them with the Southern news.

We are in a condition to ofer advice. We can ad-
wise the Northern States of America as we can advise
the legitimate Princes and the despotc Courts OF
Europe. Let the statesmen at Washington only do
what England has done before a hundred times, and
what all Europe has DONE is doing and will still do
1t is not Old World advice 1t is not of the leaven
that Washington and Franklin lef it their mission to
extrpate, 1t is the very latest and newest lessons OF
human affairs much newer than steam the electric
telegraph or rled cannon. Do the Northern States
really belong to the New World, are they only bit
of the Old World with all its pride, its bgotry and its
tyranny stranded the Western shore of the Atlantic
The advice give them is what they have taught us
befAe, and we only say TO them as many son
may say to his father Practice what you teach
Let the Northern States "accept the situation"
we did eighty years ago upon their own soil az
Austria did two years ago at Villafranca and Zu-
rich Let them count the cost before they march forth
TO drive half a million armed men thousand miles
across their own country into the Gulf of Mexico
Let them consider whether they do what Napoleon
could not do 10 the penitude Of his power with many
times their number their stores, their credit and above
all their military skill and experience his school OF Cen
erals and his sup OF veterans. What they propose
to do aud be is not only to be good the Southern
ers, little the better, but overwhelmingly superior
Are they? Is not this Overweening opinion of them
selves Can they drive the S0utherners like foCk Of
sheep smoke them out of their own nests like wasps
ferrit them like rabbits and bag them like game? Let
them just look forward little, and consider the proba
bic state of things next year. and the year AFTER and
twenty years hence. Even we who sang songs Of
triumph in 1914 and 1915, felt that we and all Eu-
rope would have done much better to think what
We were about in 1893 If clear foresight show, that
there must be two Federatons, and that on other
footing will peace ever be made it will be much better
that it should come to pass after one years war than
after ten twenty lis if the Union or two Unions
the only alternative. AS the proceeds
tell what new powers and combinations may arise,
and particularly how far the Western States will endure
the taxes and financial obligations necessary for the

have given to all the world 1t is hank of their own
Cotton-a pipe of their own tobacco. Let them con-
slider what they do, and what neither they all

triumph to many foe Tor there is not circle OF old
