aud it may we'll be asked how he hopes

such circumstances. Perhaps it would
be veil for The militia men TO look
around before committing themselves to
such call. Then, again, it doss not sp-
pear when o. where they are to asssm-
ble-whether they are to be organised
under the military Law Of the late SEES
stou or not-whether particular dis
tricts are to furnish greater or less
number, making in the aggregate fifty
thousAud ID actual service. It may be
that future orders will explain these
doubtful points, but by that time We
hope che p6biic mind win be put ct
rest, and that every one will be satisfied
that there il no necessity for such an ar
ray of the soldiery Of the State. Gov.
Jackson, it may with reason be presum-
ed, made this call when he was not in =
very pleasant or thoughtful mood, and
it may be advisable to wait few days to
see what course things may take.
THE SU1x CANAL.-The Paris cores
pendent of the Baltimore american,
says that > general meeting Of theshsre-
holders Of the Suez Canal Company has
just been held in Paris, to hear the re-
port Of n. de Lesseps, from which it ap-
pears that rapid progress is being made
in the work. The company has been 90
fortunate - to find qusrries near the
canal, from which good stone 10 obtained
in abundance At small cost. The num-
Der of laborers employed is 5000, the
wages Of many Of whom is only fifteen
sous . day. 1t is expected that the
enterprise will be completed next year,
and NJ. de Lesseps announced that the
cost would be far below the estimates.
SUDDEN DEATH OF Az AMERICAN IN
PARIS. - Mr.. Frank Peters, . we'll
known citizen Of Philadelphia, died re-
Gently at Paris, Of apoplexy. 1t ap-
pears that Mr.. Peters was much excited
at the political affairs of this country,
aud while reading Of the fall Of Fort
Sumter, and the issuing Of the procla-
nation OF President Lincoln, he was at
tackled with an apoplectic fit, Of which
he died not long after.

ed publication for the present, and the
Office il closed. The Alexandria Gazette
issues small extra instead of it's former
sheet, and announces that this is only
tho second suspension OF it's regular is
sue during an existence of sixty-one
years, the first occurring during the oc-
cupation Of the city by the British in
1914.
EASILY SUlTED.-The Gazette don't
think the Upton Advertiser offers Kirk.
wood the cold shoulder in Suggesting
the name of another man to take the
place which he now occupies, and which
he wants to hold very badly. Ii that is
not cold shoulder. then will the Gazette
state what it is. Itmay only be a slight
intimation that Kirkwood is not wanted
for Governor any longer.
