Effects of the War on the Manufac-
turinxefnterests of France.

A Paris letter of the 10th says:-The
American war causes a great deal of mis-
cry here. The great silk, velvet and
porcelain factories have discharged one
half of their workmen, while the manu-
faoture of articles of luxury, bronzes, &C.,
are likewise affected. A packer, who
lives in the Faubourg St., Antoine, as
sured me the other day that his business
was quite at a stand still. He said that
where hitherto he employed thirty-four
men, he now has two. There are no

The people of Belfast, Maine, are
greatly agitated by the arrival of num-
Der of boxes in that city from Boston,
containing muskets, cartridges, and 9TH
er munitions of war, which have gone
into the hands of about 200 men, who
have openly proclaimed their disloyalty
to the government, and organized them
selves into company, without any au-
thori.y from the State, declaring it their
object to resist any attempt made to draft
any member in their ranks into military
service and the payment of war taxes.

I0oaouerinA a Peace.

The oilb Statesman talks plainly to the.
fire brand fanatics ofSthe North, as fol-
lows. m 80 ~
We are told that the war must 60 on
untilwe conquer peace. There must be
nojfnik of Il oompromiso n word said
about d 'cessation OF che war; until peace'
is restored through the fundamentally OF
powder and lead.
This language means, If IL has any
meaning intended to be understood by
the messes of the Pcepleyrthnt-atlie war
must be carried on until the object for
which the government called armed men
into the field is accomplished. That object
is, according to. the Presidents. first pro.
clamation calling for troops to dispersc
bands OF armed men copspiring against
the government, by resisting the execu-
ton of the Federal laws. +
But there are men among us talking
fercely about conquering n peace, who
would not he satisfied IL every Coniedcr-
ate regiment and company was disbanded,
and the laws of the Union were executed
in every Southern State with ms little inn
podmcni as they were n year ago. Some
Individuals and Journals talk as though
they were actuatcd by q spirit of deadly
nuQcu anu TCNclpc, hpt ohiy UShiHSt viz
barborinns and sayages, as they call the
Southern people, but against all who will
not join with them i'm their fierce personal
denunciations, and swear themselves in
for n war Of subjugation and extermina-
ton. .
The efforts of these Northern fire-eaters
are directed Increasingly and theoretically
to inname the minds of the people with
the same malicious and revengeful feel
ings against those who differ from them
in opinion. There is TO he with them no
liberation Of any views inspecting the war,
slavery or any other political topic but
their own. For this end there is to be
but one political party in the country, and
all who do not swear fealty to it and its
leaders are TO be branded as Secessionists
and traitors. This is what is meant by
many in their clamor about eonquering
peace. They would not only deprive
Southern i{fcn of their constitutional
rights, but rob Northern menof that per
sonal freedom without which man is a
scrl and slave -' Bod

The Despotism Complete.

The Washington correspondent OF the
New York World writes as follows:
European dynasties are always expos
ed to dangers of rebellion-or revolution
and all rulers, whether just or unjust,
when thus threatened, must resort to the
most secret agencies and sternest meas
ures, or yield the baton of power. The
liberal and democratic government of
this Republic, now for the first time se-
riously endangered, finds itself 10 excep-
ton to the transatlantic experience. 1t
is at last compelled by the growth of seri-
Gus and atrocious conspiracy, to avail it,
self, in o Just cause and for good ends, of
the adroit policy police system which has
for centuries been so misused in other
and less favored lands.
y
The Cabinet have determined that the
power and presence of government shall
be felt; that, for time, the little finger
of our police shall be thicker than the
loin of the Austrian or Neapolitan. The
highest offender shall he the first to fall.
In pursuance Of this course, a detective
system has been latterly in operation,
embracing all the concomitants of male
and female espionage, patrician and pie
bian, which made that of the llapsburgs
and Bourbons so effective. We are COM
PEELED to adopt the methods of tyrants
to the ends Of justice and liberty.
This, and this alone, says the Rich
mond Wing, was needed to round out
and complete the Absolute Despotism of
the Lincoln Dynasty. They had already
Abolished the habcas corpus, gagged the
Press, seized and imprisoned citizens
without warrant and without trial, search
ed private residences, seized private pa.
pers, disurmcd militia, declared martial
law-nothing was wanted but the most
infamous practice of the most absolute
Despotism-the secret, social spy system
TO place the people of the North on
the footing of those of Russia and Tur-
key, in their worst days. The last and
worst recourse of the Tyrant is now
adopted. The agencies and appliances
are all complete. 1t remains only, now,
to give these their full efficiency. that the
Guillotine should be set to work. That
comes next. ~ s.

Confederate Court.

SSuhw
The District Courtof the Confederate
States is in session atSknoxville, Judge
Humphreys presiding. We find the fol-
lowing notice of the proceedings in the
Register ofSunday:
BY far the larger portion Of the Knox
vile bar came forward and took the oath
to support the Constitution and Govern
ment of the Confederate States of Ameri-
ca, as we'll as the usual oath of faithful
ness administered in our Courts to all
practicing attorneys. Among the gentle
men thus sworn was Mr.. John Baxter, who
has been considered by the late Union
party of East Tennessee as n prominent
leader among them, and who has been
regarded by Southern men ms one of the
most violent and ultra of the opponents OF
Southern Rights in the State.
During the day John Brownlow, and
W. A. q. Reed, who were in the custody
of the military, were surrendered TO the
Marshal, when the former, the District
Attorney having no charge of criminal
nature against him, was fully discharged,
the latter was, as we understa nd, inform
ally charged with some criminal conduct
in circulating Helpers infamous book, but
upon his voluntarily making statement
in regard to lis conduct and offering to
take the oath of allegiance to the Con-
federate States, he was discharged from
custody upon his own recognizance for his
good behavior, after taking the following
oath:
Il, W. 4. G. Reed, solemnly and sin
cerely swear, that will truly and faith
fully demean myself as a good and true
citizen of the State of Tennessee and oil
the Confederate States of America, and
that will be subject to the powers and
authorities that are now established for
the good government thereof; and that
will not abet or Join the enemies OF said
State or Of the Confederate States by any
means in any conspiracy or rebellion
whatever against the authority thereof

A Peace Maker.

In any emergency that may arise, it is pro-
bable that Baltimore will be able to maintain
her honor, and, through that maintenance,
e;ure to herself an apportionment of rights
within the Federal Union, satisfactory to
every reasonable citizen. But the much
talked of civil war, will, we think, never
ensue, and, hence, if our country is ever
called upon to use the celebrated steam Gen.
trifugal gun lately invented by our townsman
Mr.. Charles S. Dickinson, it will be in the d.
rection of foreign foe, aud not against those
at home. We were present, yesterday, at q
trial OF this wonderful machine, which throws
three hundred three ounce balls per minute
distance of one and half miles. 1t is at
tached to portable steam engine, which can
be moved about with the facility of gun
carriage. The balls are placed in a hopper,
through which they are lowered to the breech
of gun revolving with all the rapidity that
steam can apply, and instantaneous With their
reaching the gun they are hurled forth with
more force than can be given by the ordinary
musket. 1t is estimated that one of these
guns will be as serviceable upon field of
battle as ten thousand men. IL can be at-
Justed to throw the balls within given space,
or it can be made 10 take radius at the dis
lance of mile along the front columns of
an army. extending over several miles OF
ground. Another great advantage is, that,
like the steam fire engines, it never gets tired;
and, as long as there is any balls left, all that
Is necessary is to pour them into the hopper
and they will shoot themselves. At the trial
spoken of, it forced the balls through five
pianks each one inch thick, and then fiattened
and tore them in pieces against stone wall
in the rear. Those DESTROYS of witnessing its
operation can have an opportunity by call
ing upon Mr.. Dickinson, No. "a North street.
