What VIII You Have, Sirf

We find in the Home Journal" the follow
ing sketch OF Mrs Lincoln, credited To the
press"
The personal appearance Of the present
lady of the White House is thus sketchcd by
the press: "Mrs. Lincoln is about forty years
of aye, with hair Of dark. thrown color. Her
head is large and well developed, presenting
the organs Of tirmness andanguage in ahighly
developed and we'll Inatured condition. Her
forehead is broad, her eye clear and intelligent,
and rather blue than gray; her mouth is well
shaped and capable 81 great expression while
her chin rounds gracefully, balances properly,
and gocs in quiet way toward the lndorsing
of our opinion, that she is a decided-not OBJ
stinatc-woman. Her form inclines to stout
ness, but is well.fashoncd and comcy, while
her hands and feet are really beautiful, indica-
ting, as does the well shaped ear, that she has
come from race Of people who were happily
born. Her carriage is good, her manners are
pleasant her greetings are atfable, and, without
doubt, her intentions are correct That Mrs.
Lincoln went TO the White House versed IN the
yoodly knowledge Of houSe-wifery and subStan-
lial living, rather than skilled in the cunning
tricks of politics and Glased with the excite
ment Of Washington life is II feature OF con-
graduation rather than for depreciation. She
began life with Mr.. Lincoln when he was poor
Young man, with no more idea of being called
to the Presidency than of being cannibal;
she has pursued quiet home life, rearing and
educating a happy family, cheering the nan OF
her Choice as ne passed through the stormy
scenes OF life, and content il, in all things, she
made good wife and a competent mother
She was suddenly called to fill an unaccuStomed
position. To it she went taking with her her
sound substratum Of coumon.sense, her natu-
raj tact, that great alder Of US all, the esteem
Of those who knew her at her Old ZONE, and
the best wishes Of every woman in the land"
We suspect that the writer OF the foregoing
article for 1.-The press" in general, will avail him.
himself Of an early opportunity to visit White
House in expectation OF being called upon by
its occupants to answer the question of all 9TH
ers the most agreeable to him, namely: "What
sir, can ne do for you under existing circum-
stances z" Perhaps Mr.. and Madam Lincoln
will conclude with old Sancho Panza that they
ought not to accept praise without giving pud.
ding in return.

The French View Of the Amoricah Crisis.

We publish this morning three articles
which have been recently published in the Pa
ris journal lie Pays" and which We have had
translated in full for the Enquirer" The
"Pays" is edited by N. Granier de Cassagnac,
and is one Of the French papers which arc
so exclusively devoted to the support of the
Imperial policy that they are called the semi
official organs of the government The artl-
Giles which we insert below, have been fire.
quently alluded to and partly translated
and published in the American press
It is worth while remarking that
they were written by man not pro-slave-
~ in sentiment, and for the reading Of
nation which abolished slavery in its colo
MES. Yet the French writer takes as strong
ground against Northern abolitionism as has
been taken by any advocate Of Southern rights
He is for the right of secession, and charges
the Black Republicans with the responsibility
of having, through their fanaticisln, brought
about the disruption Of the American Union.
He advocates the justice Of prompt recognl-
zance by the European powers Of the new Con.
federacy, as we'll as the utility for Europe to
DO So 1t will be seen that the French writer
takes it for granted that the border States must,
at an early date, join the Southern Confederacy.
The gallant Frenchrnan, while indicating the
South from the abuses to which she is most
often and most undeservedly subjected, claims
for our land the merit Of possessing women
who ere so beautiful and at the same time so rich
IL gifted with all the qualities Of heart and mind,
as not to be surpassed by those Of any other
country. The remark is not q superficial one;
IN more than one respect it may be said, that
no6ilitas seguitnr rcntrem. On the other
hand we know that patriotism and Southern
rights have no better friends amongst Us than
the ladies of the South, and we dare say, the
French publicist will be neither surprised nor
sorry to hear that The bold stand Of The French
Ministerial paper in behalf Of Southern Con-
federacy was taken before the news fits Con-
stitution and before the appointment Of JEFF
ferson Davis, as President, had reached Eu'
rope 1t may thus be said of our French con-
temporary, that its foresight is not inferior to
its courage and impartiality.
The following is translated from the Paris
Pays" of February s, 1861:
Richmond enquirer. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1815-1867, 1861-03-19

The editor Of the ATLANTA (Ga) lnteiligen-
GER" writing to his paper from. Montgomery,
says:

In the Paris "Le Pays" OF the 2lst Of Feb
ruary, we find the following article, which We
also translate:
The rapid pace with which the American
crisis is progressing, imposes upon US the duty
not to allow public opinion 10 be overtnken I'M
prepared by the march Of events, and we will
therefore drop all secondary points to make
straight way to 4 much more important ques-
ton which will, OF necessity, soon be pre-
scented for a decision to The governments OF
Europe.
Tile american Union no longer e1ists.-
South Carolina Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana, Texas and Florida are now in Con-
vention assembled in the city Of Montgomery,
with the view Of forming new Coniederacy.
Mr. Lincoln will then, on the day he assumes
his presidential duties, stand face to face with
another Confe1eracy, regularly constituted, and
which he will be bound to count among the
number of independent nations, or sublae dy
force Of arms.
1t is too late to recrluinatc. All philosophy
cal theories, however nice and seducing they
may be, must vanish before facts. Common
sense requires US to master any such abstract
tendencies and to expound a situation worth
much more and Of a more general interest; for,
soon will the new Confederscy come and knock
for admittance at the gates of Europe, asking
for an acknowledgement Of her independence,
and putting forth her claim for rank among
the nations Of the globe. Let us then, in view
of this impending event give brief account
of the Importance Of the new Contsderacy.-
although the Convention is formed Of only
seven States, it is matter OF certainty that
the other eight States will join them after
short delay.)
The Southern States, fifteen in number,
measure an area of one million Of square miles,

without reckoning that portion Of the Terrific

of the Atlantic, from the Chesapeake Bay down
to the Gulf Of Mexico, into which the Mssis-
sppi river cmpties itself, after run of 4, 100
miles. through Louisiana Mississippi, Tennes-
see, Kentucky, Missouri and Arkansas; that
river being the only economical and normal
means of transport for the products Of most OF
the Western States.
Thcpopulaton, exclusively addicted to agri.
cultural pursuits on large scale, amounts to
twelve millions. It's staples, besides timber,
which is much sought after in the Northern
States, and even in Europe, are tobacco, sugar,
rice and cotton.
