The French side Of the Bee Of yesterday con-
tains long extract from recent article Of NJ
Gailardet contributed to the Paris Constitutional
This gentleman has lived in this country both in
New Orleans and New York, in which latter city
he was at one time editor of the Courier des Etats
Unis. At the beginning of the American crisis he
published several articles in the Paris Fresse, show
ing an evident partiasty to the side of the North
but in this latter article although he stlll displays
some crude opinions, be attacks the North with
considerable severity, and plainly intinates that
the Southern Confederacy is entitled to European
The views of a gentleman Of SO much intelli-
genee, and known to have been for a long time
familiar with American politics, will, we think,
have great influence in France. We interpret it as
sign Of growing inclination on the part Of the
French Government and people to the cause of
the Confederate States ,....s.t D.. s,.-s,.
III. 6afilardet makes one especially strong point
in this article, which the Southern press has not
much insisted on, because it was SO well known TO
us how useless is argument, no matter how con
Vincing, when addressed to such an enemy as we
have to encounter. He says that the United States
was the first to recognize the independence vi
Texas as against Mexico, but is now making war
upon Texas for exercising the same right that she
was upheld in exercising only short time ago
And this is the truth. The case is even stronger
now, because, as NJ. Gaillardet declares, Mexico
was more of consolidated Republic than the
United States, the sovereignty OF the respective
States not being distinctly defined He says
| truly, also; that the United States lave often en-
couraged revolutions in other countries when made
in the name of the sovereignty Of the people. %
But it is useless, as the writer more than init
mates, to address arguments, Or insist upon prece
DENTS to such Government as that Of the United
States. .t-.... ,-a.-.. ,...- ,-.g
"To restrain says NJ. Gaillardet in conclusion
eight millions of people from changing their
government Mr.. Lincoln braves the evils of q civi
war, OF which it impossible to foresea the end he
is even disposed to brave foreign war, if one may
judge from the last circular of Mr.. Seward he i'm
poses upon his country debt which will reach
many thousand millions, (p{usieurS nsiUiards)
sacrifices the liberty of the press violates the
privileges of the habeas corpus, suspends all the
Constitutional guarantees, inaugurates system o
confscations and passports, establishes an army
numerous and permanent, and condemns his coun
trymen for many long years, if not forever tt
live under the government Of the sword. To save
the Union at all cost and every hazard, he runs
great risk of destroying the repubic.n
So writes this able author, and we hope hi
European mind. There is much truth in his las
remark that all the principles of Republic viii
be overthrown in this vain effort to save Union

THE MILITIA LAW AND NEwspA pERs,- resolu-
ton has very properly been introduced in tho Ten
nessee Legislature, exempting the printers en-
ployed on daily newspapers from militia duty. The
reasons for the move are given by the Nashville
Banner in the following observations which none
can gainsay: .''-. 80
From no body Of men has the present war drawn
so largely, in proportion to its MEMBERS as from
the printers of the south. We think we can safely
say that no body of men, as general rule, possess
more Intelligence, patriotism and public spirit and
when the tocsin sounded they were among the first
volunteers. To-day barely enough are left IN this
city to supply the actual need on urlocaI papers.
Those who are now employed in the offices are
generally men who are kept at home by peculiar
circumstances We therefore sincerely trust no
member of the Legislature will refuse his vote to
a measure which is designed to relieve the news
raPers from such an embarrassment as seems
!Eeiy to enaHe if thcy do rot. The people must
nave the papers, and the papers must have the

Coin CosFoRT.-- The St. Louis Republican, d
leading Abolition paper, is down on Liucoln's
message It says.sa "a. ~. n zs-s, s ,s4s5
Still, we acknowledge to some disappointment
in perusing this State paper. Ii is not what we
expected from Mr. Lincoln. 1t is, not what the
occasion demanded from him. We did look for
some liberal and well defined enunciation of the
principles upon which his administration was to
be conducted and the war for the preservation of
the Union prosecuted. We did think that the tisie
had come when, in consideration OF the eacriheesa4
which th'- loyal adherents of the Union had made
| 10 Kentucky, Maryland and Mssouri-to say fes
thing of the many thousands who are yet faithful
in each and every State of the Southern Confed-
eracy-the President would be ready to settle the
doubts existing in the minds ofnany as to the real
pohGy OF his Administration. He has not d8ns.so,
ana n our opinion has made a grave mistake AS

sage on this point, and seeing therein positive
refusal to commit hiaself to any Of the ultra and

A BRUSH WITH 0PoTHLEHoLA.-We are permit
ted says the Van Buren (Ark) Press Of the 9Th,
to publish the following extracts of letter from
Col. S. NJ, Hays, to his family in this city, giving
an account of the fight between Col. Coopers
command and that Of Opothehola recently ~ @
CANT CoEcnGtrY, Creek Nation, Nov. q, 1861.
+ \ As usual there is some excitement as !
last wrote you. Our party divided at Deep Fork
Col. Cooper, at the head of 240O men,. composed
OF about 600 of Col. Lees Texas Regiment. Col,
Mclntosh's Regiment, 700, Col. Gooper's Regiment
700, Lieut.. Chilly Mcintosh 250 and Capts. Smith
and jumpers l50, marched westward some 40 or
! so miles when they found the enemy on Big Fork
and the fight commenced as understand it.
Ihere were about 40 of our men first met them
just before sundown. The fight lasted until about
midnight, but it was so dark, AID the enemy had
selected the ground, and OF course had the advan-
tage, and our men could not do as much execution
as they otherwise might have done. Six of our
men were killed and three wounded, two mortay
the loss OF the enemy not known. The whites
counted 80, and that they saw; the Indians say
they saw l05. The dead were thrown into holes
'of water, some buried and hid in every way. We
took II wagons, 80 yoke of oxen, over 100 ponies
some sheep, salt, sugar, coffee, whisky and many
other things, At about II o'clock at night the
moon was giving light, and they retreated, and
were followed next day, but not oVertaken the
men and horses were SO exhausted that they could
not follow, as they had only taken six days ra-
tions for the men and nothing for the horses the
Indians having burned the woods, the horses were
completely starved out. -'i- s5'' 7''7' s.'-tS
