This seems to be an absorbing ques-
ton among the people at this time.
The old veteran, we'll advanced in yea's
and much debilitated, left for France >
few weeks since, proposing to spend Inc
winter. Our latest advices from him, pre-
vious 10 the arrival Of the Arago. were
10 tho effect that he would make Europe
hi, home for months to come. But, a.
Of q sudden, and TO the great surprise OF
all, he drops down among his country
men. Does the old veteran see fresh
and very dark and heavy war-cloud ar's'
ingl Such seems to be the conclusion
and that he has hurried home to render
What service be may be able to IN the
emergency. In his late communication
with this country, he informs US that ne
had long interview with Emperor Ma
poleon, in Paris, and may it not be that
that interview had something to do wiIb
the return Of General Scott to the United
States? This il the most satisfactory
solution Of what is otherwise q great
mystery. Napoleon desires to be on
friendly terms with this country. lie
has already offered his mediation to set
tie the pending troubles with the Rebel
States. but was at the time repnlsed b,
Mr.. Seward. Napoleon has no love fo'
England, and, inasmuch as he has de-
clarcd his intention to take neutral po-
sition between England snd the UOited
States, may it not be that he has re-
ncwed his offers as q mediator, in the
hope Of settling the matter in dispute
with that Power and alao With the re.
bellious Statcsl A. the former ques
ton must necessarily be the subject Of
negotiation, aud cannot BE disposed Of
hastily, it must be that General Scott
has been prevailed OH to return to
Washington and lay before the Admin.
istration the views Of the Emperor Ma
poIeor, by which the grave troubles Of
the country may be settled and peace
restored to our Union. Nothing short
OF such a mission would constitute a
sufficient reason for the return Of the
war.worn veteran to the United States.

OssAwATToMIE, Dec. 4.-The report OF
Prices northern movement together with the
announcement that we were TO be paid Ot, IN
duced Col. Montgomery 20 move the brigade to
this place.
The sensations from Price have been fully
sifted and amount 10 this He does not intend
coming to Kansas, and does not dare cross the
Osage. Our troops at Rol!a, Sedalia, Jefferson
and Upton, desire nothing more than to have
Price cross the Usage.
Our scout system, as you are awareis nearly
perfect We have been through Missouri so of
ten that we know every locaty-almoSt every
prominent man. When the Kansas men fail to
get correct news of the position and strength of
the enemy, then the best right hands will cease
to have cunning.
Price is encamped a short distance below
Usage with 10000 men, and is in no condition
to move. His men are poorly clad and not half
the tents they need. The result IS a greater
amount of sickness than vas ever known in a
camp Of that size. In proclamation published
by him on the 22d of November, he says he has
lost three men by sickness where he has lost one
by bullets. That proclamation is a most pain
full and humiating appeal for help. He asks
for 3d. 900 men, and dozen times over the de-
mand is reiterated. He says boys have the
fighting while men Of vigOr and wealth have
remained safely at home, and says the cause is
lost unless he can have more and better aid. In
short, Price is respondent, and if Haleck and
Hunter half do their duty he can be speedily
played out.
A disturbance has arisen in Col Ritchie's reg
iment The men have elected a new set of Of
fcers, and Col. Richie has resigned. We all
regret the rupture, but hope it may be amicably
settled
Col. Weer's regiment moves up to Wyandott.

ters In haste, your own.

what should be done in our Agricultural Society,

that in coming together st our recent Annual
Meeting. there might have been a general enquiry,
what can be done to bring the representatives OF
the different Agricultural interests together that
we may work tremendously Instead thereof l
was panied to witness the Jealousy manifested on
the occasion, when certain persons were spoken
of, as suitable to be placed upon the in-comlng
Board. Some say it went do; II will be running
the concern into horse-shoW. We are mere as
usual, en- mas$e from the locality OF the faif
Grounds it behOoves us TO take hold and cohtfoi
the concern; and furthermore, In our estimation,
this particular department, already IS receiving It's
proper attention. They say the ID drove the
hogs into the sea, and we must economic on the
horse department, in order to get money enough
to get them Che hogs back We, also, would have
bogs taken care Of but we would remind members
that in other places it has been found, that this
here despised department, must be allowed to take
the lead in matters, and that without hearty co
operation OF the horse men, of a county, you never
yet saw a superb Fair.
The Racine Co Society dragged along iof seNefa
years precarous existence, until old fogies gave
way. and let those more lberal-minded take the
lead Many of us are conversant with the fact OF
the favorable change there made for the three years
past A like fogyisn is riding supreme here, and
without thorough breaking Of it up, our Secre'
tary will again be obliged in his annual report, to
set forth doleiul set Of facts This, my brother
members may deem ~ pish, ont of humor and the
ike. but would assure all that far as the treat
ment have individually received of the Society
is concerned, have nothing to complain OF and
only speak thus plaiu for the general good.

nine counties included by the Ordiua nee of tn
August Convention, the counties of Pocahontas,
Greenbrer, Monroe Mercer, and MCDOWELL
They also take IN Hampshire, Morgan, Berkeley,
Jefferson, Pendleton and Frederick, on condi-
ton that a majority Of the votes cast in the dis
tict and majority of the counties comprising
it, express themselves in favor of coming in, at
the election to be held on day appointed by
the Legislature. This attempt to extend the
boundary is regarded by some as an endeavor
TO emblrrass the new State movement.
The Convention was yesterday discussing q
section relating to treason against the State,
when Van Wake, of Wood, raised the issue
tt at there could be no such thing as treas on
against State. Que clause makes it treason
to speak, write, print, publish or circulate any
thing to uphold invasion or insure 3tion during
the continuance Cf the same. This clause will
probably be expunged. Battelie, of Ohio coun-
ty. introduced a proposition prohibiting the
importation Of slaves. makingi it the duty of the
legislature to regulate in a humane manner the
family relation Of slaves. and providing that at,
ter a certain date involuntary serviLude, except

will probably begin sometime next week.

New York, Dee I3--Captain Dupont, in his
eommUnica ion to the Navy Department, dated
December 4th,says the apprehension of losing pos
session OF the Bay Of st. Helena, so exceedingly
valuable for a harbor, from its proximity to Char
lesion, and for the command it secures of large
rivers supplying interior communication with
South Carolina, induced him to dispatch a second
expedition there, under command OF Drayton, with
orGers to hold the Island until Gen. Sherman is
prepared to assume military occupation OF it,when
ne will transfer the fort to his troops.
Ii seems to be understood in addition to our oc-
cupatiun OF Beaufort Gen. Vee was at once to be
sent with considerable force TO occupy the most
important point in the new approaches to Savan-

a Correc. o opinion Abou, .g.e Nashville

The London Star of the 22d of Nov. commences
its leader in this emphatic language:
Pirate or prvateer, Confederate or corsar, the
steamer Nashville, now lying in southampton wa,
tiers, is Il hldeous bemish upon our nineteenth
century civilization A wild beast or a bird of
prey is an Officer OF dread but not Of adherence.
The Nashville is boh--a floating den of brutaliz-
ed human beings, making destruction the mme-
date business of their hves-the destruction of
unarmed and unotfending ships, carrying ON a
peaceful traffic upon the common highway of ma
tons. If Capt Pegram holds a commission or u
letter Of marque, the law of natons--to our shame
he it said-will have nothing TO say to him; but
the moral sense OF mankind will still pronounce
his achievement an outrage on humanity Ii he
does not carry either of those documents the law
of England at any rate will adjudge him guilty of
very specific offence, according to the facts stated
against him. and remit him to the authorities OF
tile nation which he disgraces, to dealt with &C
cOrding to its laws In either case, we repeat, he
has done deed which should make the ears of all
men to Jingle, and bring to a speedy conclusion
the abominable system Otmakng war at sea upon
the persons and property of peaceful citizens.
