At a concert at the Tuileries, two evenings ago,
the Emperor again had long conversation with
Mr.. Faulkner on the present troubles in the United
States His Majesty confined himself, however, to
the asking Of questions and did not express any
opinions or sentiments of his own. As the trouble
grows more serious, he no doubt finds it wiser to
become more diplomatic. But hissilencc supposng
him to be we'll advised of the progress Of affairs, is

able to inform the Emperor, in reply to his demand
to that effect that Mr.. Lincoln had arrived at WASH

from Liverpool that day.

The New TERRITORIAL GovERNMENTs.-Inv view Of
the continued bowling of the disunionists over the
territorial slavery question, it may not be amiss to
call the attention of the Stars southern readers to
the fact that in the laws establishing the three new
territorial governments (passed at the last session
of Congress,) under which all the remaining United
States territory has been divided up there is not
clause, line or word invading or nvalidating the
right of the STAKEHOLDER to take his property into
them or in any manner rendering it insecure there.
And further, that according to the law of the land
as laid down by the Supreme Court of the United
States, the rights of the STAKEHOLDER in those Ter
rtories are precisely those announced in the Dred
Scott decision. j.
We submit therefore, that there remains nothing
whatever in connection with Slavery in the Terri
tories over which any ground for sectional squab-
BILE between South and North remains; the South
having obtained all she asked if her representatives
were acting in good faith not long since in voting
that there was no need Of further legislation for the
protection of slavery in the Territories
In retaining from legislating against slavery in
Territories, with the full knowledge of the meaning
of the Dred Scott decision, the majority of the last
House did that which cannot fail sooner later to
open the eyes Of the people of the South to the fact
that the prolongation of the hue and cry over the
territorial slavery question in the South, is but .
bold trick resorted to prevent the southern masses
from turning their attention to the Vaccinations of
those in their own midst who are seeking to render
successful the usurpation of the Oligarchy- Wash

SAGE FROM Gov. PIcKENs.-On March %, Gov. Pick
ems sent in long Message to the South Carolina
State Convention, now in session First he explains
the inaction in re Fort Sunpter,-the c. s. A. took
from him all responsibility in the premises. The
troops which the State enlisted for this purpose,
with the officers are still in commission and Gov.
Pckens urges the necessity Of their being provided
for by the Confederate authorities. Thus far the
expenditures of the State in her new experiment
have been $64O,317 of which amount $195, 600 was
disbursed by the Ordinance Board Since this ex-
pense was incurred for the common veal, Gov. Pick
ems cherishes the belief that the G. s. A. will assume
it Some action should be taken authorizing the
transfer to the new Government of the arms seized
by the c. S. A. Having disposed of these practical
matters Gov Pickens proceeds to set forth the phil
osophy of the secession movement Hitherto in the
history of the world the struggle has been to
personal rights. That has been accomplished. The
United States Government was framed to secure the
rights of political communities; and having failed in
that object it became necessary to make new at
tempt. The Governor adds: u. sr,,la =.
"Our State, true to the great principles upon
which the Confederacy was formed, and true to
those great and progressive ideas which were so
identified with American Independence, was forced
to resume her original powers Of government; and
If she succeeds in epgretting the Fundamental right
Of a separate and Independent State to withdraD
from any Cowederacy tiatanay b formed seheneusr
her people, in sovereign Convention assembled, shall
so decide then she will have made another advance
in the science Of government and added another
guarantee to the great principle Of civil liberty
And if this principle could be secured without an
appeal to arms and blood, it would show that the
country has progressed in civilization and intelli-
gece SO far as to be able to settle all controversies
and issues involving political rights by an appeal to
reason to interest," to free discussion to conventions
to treaties and covenants rather than by an appeal
to brutal force" 81. :,

SUPPRESSION OF ELECTION RETURNS" The State
authorities of Louisiana" says the National Intsl
hgencer, persstently refuse to publish the returns
of the Convention election, although they have been
repeatedly and earnestly urged to do SO by the
servative journals of that State. The majority Of
the popular vote it is stated has been ascertained
to be against the secesssionsts Thus are the peo-
pie cheated by corrupt politicians Of the right to
chose the government under which they to live.

UNITED STATES OFFIcERs.-As much has beensaid
about the disafecton of our army officers, we learn
from an authentic source that of 460 officers Of
the army at this time only Al have resigned or been
dismissed, and these include all, nearly all that
are disafected to the government" y Washington
Correspondent
It is the object of the dsunionists to keep up and
increase this dstrust in the army, and with this end
IN view all the dsunion papers are constantly re-
peatng the names Of such officers, born in the Gulf
States, who have felt it sad and solemn duty to
tender their designations In this way the number
factual designations appear to be more formidable
than they really are. The misgving as to the pa
triotism and fidelity Of our army officials, we are
assured is totally unfounded, and it is altogether
unreasonable to suppose that the great portion Of
them are not as faithful and trustworthy any like
number of officers to be found in any military SER
vice under any government in the world ,.. :
