The tclcg'aphic dispatches show that the
guillotine is now in rapid motion.
The appointment by President Davis o|
three Commissioners to visit England and
France :or the purpose Of securing the re-
cosniticn Of those powers Of tho lnGepcnd-
cn: Government Of the Con'cdcratcd States
have somewhat startled the Lincoln admin
istration. 1t is understood they are about
to despatch secret agent to Europe, with
instructions 20 inform those governments OF
the policy to be pursued by the new admin
istraticn: and thereby iorestallins and defeat
ing the object and purpose Of the mission Of
the Southern Commissioners. The same
course is TO be pursued respecting other gov
ernmcnts.

The Tines correspondent tclagraphs from
Washington, that there is a good deal Of
anxiety in Republican circles concerning the
Presidents health, and the effect upon it, o.
his manner Of doing business. iic has no
system or method whatever, but allows his
time and strength to be exhausted in listen
ing to office seekers, and doing the d:udg-
cry, which belongs to the Departments
Until Wednesday morning he had not even
taken ride for recreation. From O'Clock
in the morning until long after midnight: he
permits himself to bc the passive victim Of
the thousancs who would readily sacrifice
his life and the safety Of the nation for thci,
own selfish cagerness for office. This course
Of action can have but one result. 1t has
killed two Presidents, ard will inevitably
deprive the country Of another, if it is moi
changed. False delicacy prevents his friends
from making proper representations to Mr.
Lincoln on this subject, and the danger is
that his profound aud unsclfish anxiety te
see everybody and give nobody any ground
to complain Of injustice will sap his strength
and shorten his life. The Departments have
clerical force sufficient to digest all applica'
tions for office, and he should require tho
Secretaries to bring him the results of suci
a Sitting process, instead Of taking the whole
mass on his own shoulders. And, except
in cases certified to be important by the prop.
er Department, or where he has some spc.
cia( personal interest or feeling in the mat
ter, he should refuse to allow anybody tc
talk to him about office. His time and
strength and intellectual energy are required
by the country for higher duties.
