ATTENTION When in the history of this
continent WAS the word Attention so much
ased as at the present time ? Attention,
Company Attention, Battalion are the
words we hear in almost every direction
Attention to what is doing in the North ;
Attention to the movements of the South.
Attent on to the action that France and
England { if any, intend to take in this re-
bellion of States against Government.
But we would cali attention to the cheap
clothing that Davidson makes at the lowest
rates They must be sold, if not at what
they are worth, at what they will bring.

about that point. The %. regiment of

HERALD's DISPATCH.

WASHINGTON, May 21.-It appears that
more than a month ago our Government
gave notice to the Powers of Europe, who
took part in the Paris Congress, in 1856,
that they were willing to accept the code
they adopted at that period, which declared
privateering to be piracy. The Govern
ment has received the amplest assurances
from Austria that she will have little to do
with the rebels, whilst Prussia has not hes
itated to manifest in plain terms her IN
eqivocal sympothy with our Government.
The Secretary of State has given notice
to Mexico and other States, that the Munroe
doctrine will be carried out with all the en-
ergy and resources of the Government and
that nothing in the shape of foreign inter
vention will be tolerated or submitted to for
a single hour. Mexico has been assured in
the most positive language, hat she can de-
pend on the active support of the country
should any European power attempt to vio-
late her soil warning has been given to
Spain that if she ventures to accept the art
full proffer of Dominica, she will do so at her
peril
The 6remen Zouaves were sworn in for
the war this afternoon by Brigadier General
Mcdowell. Col Ellsworth received orders
during the day, to station a guard of 100
men at point some three miles below his
camp. The required number Immediately
went down, under the command of the Col
himself, with rations for two days.
A deserter from Alexaudria appeared in
the Zouave camp this evening. He gave
anything but a favorable account of the
rebel forces.

SELECTION OF posTuAsrERs.

We observe that in some sections OF the
country the candidate for Postmaster is selected

have beaten Douglas at Charleston if you had
