FRayCE an

We were shown yesterday, says the Louis
vile Courier Of the 10.b, q letter from a very
intelligent and influential citizen Of Paris,
France, 10 an ss,imsble gentleman of Louis
Vile, which gives some account Of the feeling
produced among the French By the battle Of
Manassas. It states that this great victory Of
the South has produced in Europe a profound
sensation, and led the Publio mind to the con-
%clusien that "ten millions Of men, who are
battling for their homes, their families, and
their fortunes, cannot be subjugated." This
letter indicates that the French people are
deeply symps.hizing with the South in he
conflict Dow going on in this country, and that
a recognition Of he Confederate Sates Of
America by ths French Government would
touch tbe cord Of responsive joy throughout
the great heart Of mighty France.
"a" A correspondents, IN a lengthy commu-
n~ication, suggests that in addition to the at
ticles Of wearing apparel, such as winter
coats, shirts, socks and blankets, which the
patriotic women OF the South are preparing 10
make thsir brave defenders as comfortable as
possible during the coming winter, there should
be added the item Of wooden mittens. The
idea is q good one, as the article is one hat
will be found indispensable to the comfort and
health, and a prompt discharge Of the arduOus
duties that will dsvolve upon our soldisry in a
more nor herly cline than that to which they
have been accustomed. We feel coufdentthat
the suggestion will be promptly responded to
as possible. Southern ladies will not be found
remiss.
"a The Supreme Court met at Knoxville
On the 9th inst.-the Hon. E. H. Ewing act
ing, By executive appointment, as special
Judge in the place of Judge Carathers, resign
by Hon. r. J. Mckinney.
The Register understands that there is gen.
eral feeling among the members Of the bar,
and of the suitors In court, owing to the state
Of the country, andthe absence Ct Judge
Wright, to postpone al Irrigated cases to fu-
turs term. It thinks, therefore, that the court
will adjourn after an unusually short session.
O. The Avalanche Of yesterday contains
the following dispatch from Richmond, which
was furnished it by the kindness Of Col. James
Coleman, Of the telegraph Office:
RICHMOND, September 10, 1861.
J. COLEMAN: Gen. A. s. Johnston has bern
assigned the command Of the Western defenses,
including the Mississippi valley. He goes to
Memphis in 8 few days.

~FRANKFoRT, Sept. 9, 1861

To His BxcslleDcy, Gov MAgaf7:
The undersigned, who have been accredited
by the Governor of Tennessee to your Excel
iency, to preserve friendly relations between
the States Of Kentucky and Tennessee, and to
prevent If 10 their power, social enlargement
and war between the people of the two States,
are very DESTROYS to omit nothing that IN ght
promote the objects of .heir mission.
The undersigned, yesterday, received a YER
bal message, through a messenger, from Gov.
Harris. The message was, that he, Gov. H.,
had, BY telegraphic dispatch, requested Gen.
Polk TO withdraw the Confederate troops from
Kentucky, and that Gen Polk declined to do
so; that Gov. Harris then telegraphed to Sec
rotary Walker, al Richmond, requesting that
Gen. Polk ba ordered to withdraw his troops
fiom Kentucky, and that such order was issued
from The War Department Of the Confederaey;
that Gen. Polk replied to the War Department
that the retention OF the post was a military
necessity, and that the retiring from it would
be attended by the loss Of many lives. This
embraces the message received.
The messenger, it is true, in conversation,
said that be heard in Nashville that Secretary
Walker had sent a dispatch to Gen. Buckner,
giving Gen. Polk a discretion to hold or with
draw from the occupation of the post in Ken
lucky.
The undersigned understood the messenger
y " Ni"' "N 81" nv ui9P"'Cu INC hiH' just
alluded to, and that be heard of it after he last
saw Gov. Harris.
They have no further information on this
subject. They have no knowledge or informa-
ton that President Davis has Issued any order
in relation to the occupation Of Kentucky, or
any place in it.
This note is written for the purpose Of re-
moving any false impressions that may have
been made az to the nature or extent cf the
message received.
The undersigned beg leave to express the
hope that something yet may be done to avert
the lalamities OF war which threaten the peo-
pie Of both States, and restore to them not
only peace, but a sense of security at their
fresides. Very respectfully,

."TBE DEVOTED BAND."-A coTre9pon-
dent seems to be getting impatient about the
"non-action" Of the "DeyoteI BandO in the
cities of Boston, New York and Philadelphia.
We would remind bin that the gallant and oe-
vosed spirits had marked out other labors for
themselves than the particular one be speaks
or; and those labOrs they are prosecuting with
bercuIean energy, evidence OF much Of which
be will see il he will read attentlveIy the north
ern news. Tat which be speaks Of their not
having done, We would remind him was laid
dow to be the last act in their programme
there. The burning OF Hampton, if it had
been done by the Federals, was one Of the
causes that would have precipitated this last
act Of the "DsvoteL Band1 in the northern
cities above mentioned; but az that was the
act OF Gen. MagTudeI, it staid the three thou
sand torches that stand ready at a moments
warning to avenge the wrongs Of the South
Naught in this world will stay the grandest
conhagration the world ever witnessed, except
an honorable warfare on he part OF the north
erneTs. This the "Band" have said and sworn
to. Let US be patient.
We must refuse to give publicity to his COM
mucicatioD, as it would throw light on a sub
Ject which should be kept as quiet ss possible.

in Kentucky has published the correspondence

governments toward our State and the position
she chose TO assume.-LoaisUiMe Courier.

mOVEmENIS OF GEN. ROSENCRANZ
The Washington Star, Of Wednesday last,


The Washington Star, Of Wednesday last,
says:
This morning the government received a
telegram from General ROsencra0z, embracing
information that be was then, with a consid-
cradle portion Of his command, at 4 point
half aV between Bull'0wn and FlatswoOds,
Of them who might he in the vicinity Of Sum-
mervilis or GGuiey bridge. He started from
CiaTksburg (nis headquaTters) upon this sXpe
diti1G, leaving an ample force to protect the
Cheat Mountain pass, in Lees front.
By this time he has doubtless Joined General
Cox, and the thus increased Union fsTce is
probably mp wits the enemy, If the latter has
not executed another Of Wl5e's f2voTIte and
famous thoroughbred" movements 60 the
rear.)
Abiding to the condition Of things at Ma
thias Point, the Star makes the following char
acteristtc statement
It is undoubtedly true that the enemy is not
now in any considerable force at Matthias
Point, and that there is a scarcity OF powder
and an absolute dearth Of lead among them
there-their missiles 10 be fired from their
small arms being Of whatever they can con
trive them, except lead, of which they have
absolutely none.
The Federal papers say there is but one
drawback to the results OF the naval demon
s%trstion upon Hatterss Inlet, and that is, the
departure of several privatesr stesmers from
the inlet a few hours before the arrival Of the
feet at that point.
H BALLOON EXPERIMENT.

when be was fired upon by the Confsderates
and narrowly escaped fatal results, he has

The RICE CRoP.-The harvesting Of the
rice, says the Savannah Republican Of the 9th,
commenced about ten days ago on the Savsn-
nah and Ogeechee rivers, and we may say gen
orally that a better crop has not been made
for years. It met with no disaster during the
growing season, and is large and fully headed
out. The continuous rains since it has been
cut may damage It somewhat, but it can
stand a good deal Of wet weather without Sc
rious effect upon the grain.
The inland plantations, in many sections,
would have done better with more rain to fill
up The pounds, bus still we hear the crop ii is a
very fair one.
