The Change Of Tone in France.

The following is an extract from a
private letter written by an American
gentleman, now or lately in Paris, whose
means of observation are mong the best;
There has been marvellous improve
ment in the tone of the press here within
month. | think both France and
England have quite recently come to
the conclusion that the shortest way to
get cotton and market is from the
United States, Zone and inseparable!
But three weeks ago there were not two
journals in Paris that did not seem to
aid and abet Secession. But our
troubles have proved terrible blow to
France as we'll as to England. The
crops of grain and wine, in France, l
mean, will be the smallest known for
thirty years.
Provisions are so high, and rents and
other expenses are also SO much en-
hanced, that the people cannot get
along without help. The Government
is obliged, consequently, not only to
continue it's public works, projected on
an enormous scale, as we know, but to
begin new ones, in order to furnish labor
to the working classes, at the same time
that it has very much circumscribed
market for its produce, and is obliged to
pay borrowed money for at least third
of all the bread its people consume
When the American market opens again
and active, everybody sees that this
would all restify itself in less than two
months.
If France could buy -four with silks
and wines, &C., the rate Of interest would
fall promptly ten per cent. at least, and
other expenses would experience a cor
responding amelioration. But Provi-
dence willed it otherwise. 1t sent us
an abundant crop in 1860 and short
crop in Europe and the Southern States,
that we might establish the Republican
party at " ashington, which We could
never have done if the prosperity of the
country had not silenced the croakings
in Wall street. So now We have good
crops of grain in the North and no cot
ton for England and no grain for France
This makes both nations dependent upon
both sections of the United States, but
it makes France particularly dependent
upon US, and | have no doubt has much
to do with the tone of the press here
since the 1st of October.
Ever since the advance in the price of
bread, which occurred on that day, fol-
lowed Immediately by riots among the
people in the faubourg St. Antoine, the
press seems to have received mo- ordre
to conciliate the Northern States-so uni
formly has its tone been one of sympa-
thy and encouragement as compared with
that which prevailed before. The peo-
pie think that if there was trouble with
America, We might prohibit the ship
ment of grain and so increase the price
of provisions as to starve them; hence
they are impatient Of anything in the
papers calculated to irritate US, and the
Government and the journals alike have
been obliged to heed them and moder-
ate their tone. This is my construction
upon the change, and as it harmonizes
with a profound respect for the ordina-
tions OF good Providence, l fancy it is
not very far out of the way. It is good
theology, if not sound politics.

NEW YoRK, Nov. 3.-It is rumored
here that Gen. Hallack or Gen. Harvey
will take Fremont's place in command
of the Western Department.
Several clerks in the Treasury are
engaged in search for historical pre-
cedents on the question of the right of
the Government to reopen particular
ports during the period OF blockade of
the Southern coast.
This circumstance is regarded here
as an indication of the probable inten-
ton of the Government in reference to
the South.

SILVER Run, Nov. Sd, 81.

Editor Tslegroph-As you have twice
requested your readers to furnish you
with list of the soldiers who have gone
to war, l send you, as near as | can rec
ollect, the names Of those from School
District No. /, Salisbury Tp.:
Lewis Rice and CASTOR Hysell, Capt.

tons, Ohio Infantry.
As | am now writing, it may not be
out Of order to suggest an idea: Our
Government is now trembling from CEN
ter to circumference. Never, probably,
in the course of human events, has there
been such an attempt made to overthrow
Government, with view to such dia-
bolical purposes, as the present most
causeless and reckles one of the South
Believing the most efectual manner of
dealing with any malady or evil is to
strike death blow at the cause-and
believing, further, that slavery was the
great first cause, and is the only support
the rebellion is now receiving be-
lleving, further, that in the death of
Ellsworth, CREDIBLE, Lyon, Baker, and
thousands of other patriots; the spend
ing of millions Of dollars, and few
disgraceful defeats-there has been a
sufficient sacrifice offered on our part to
satisfy the most timorous and time -serv-
ing, l, for one, suggest that petitions be
Immediately circulated, asking Congress
to compel sacrifice at the hands OF
the rebels, commensurate, at least, with
the one offered by ourselves, as follows:
To THE Congress OF THE U. S.:
The undersigned citizens of Meigs Co.,
State of Ohio, respectfully submit to
your consideration, to wit: That as the
present powerful rebellion against the
Government evidently finds its root and
support in slavery; as the leading rebels
in arms are Shareholders, who avow thai
their purpose is to rivet more perma-
nently the chains of slavery, and to ex-
tend it's domain; and as history abun-
dainty testifes there can be no perma- :
nent peace between two hostile interests;
and believing, further, that if the cause
is permitted to remain no solid peace can
be maintained-your honorable body is
most urgently solicited to lose no time
in enacting, under the war power,
the total abolition Of slavery in the
United States, allowing fair com
pensation to the loyal sufferer, should
there be such; and thus bring the war
to speedy termination, and unite all
sections and interests indissolubly upon
the enduring basis of freedom.
We may not all be prepared for the
above, but is it not better to remove the
cause of the war than to sacrifice hun.
dreds Of thousands Of people, and ruin
every interest in the country? Have a
set OF men who will cause such state
of affairs any right to property of any
kind, or the protection of the very Gov
ernment they attempt to destroy, in pre-
serving that property, thus rendering it
valuable?
They commenced the war after their
own heart; we will close it according to
our ideas of justice and equity.

~Judge Nash made war speech
at the Court House on Thursday even
ing of last week, which we wish could
have been heard by every person in the
county. We used to think the judge
slightly cold fogyish." But the un-
mistakable Indignation with which he
denounced the rebellion, and the logic
with which he traced it to its true cause
in the corruptions engendered in the
hot-bed of slavery, was refreshing. And
when he proclaimed that ".ohoerer talked
of compromise toas t,oo thirds u traitor!"
we would have given something to have
seen some of our '.compromisers" there.
In the name of truth and loyalty, we
thank Judge Nash for his bold, true,
manly utterances! When all our prom
inent men are prepared to take the same
stand, the arm of the rebellion will be
unnerved by the death of it's hopes!-
Just SO long as we have those in the
North who talk of compromise, just
SO long will the traitors hold out. Ev
cry such word, no matter by whom ut
tered, is sustaining of the hopes, and,
consequently, Strengthening of. the
hands of the conspirators. They will
get no "aid," and will not take much
4sscomfort," from Judge Nash.

Election Ncxt Tuesday.

We have very little TO add to what has
already been said, relative to the election
next Tuesday. There is but very little
party feeling. 1t is well that it is so. We
certainly have no heart to engage this
year in any partizan strife, feeling it to be
the duty of all, republicans and democrats,
to come forward in the support of our coun-
try, now in peril regardless of past political
aflinities. Let US all UNITE, like patriots
for the rescue of our country. The great
men of the two great parties in the North,
last year, are now working shoulder to
shoulder for the cause which every loyal
citizen holds first and uppermost in his
heart. Give no countenance nor support
TO traitors at home or elsewhere. The Hon.
Frederick Holbrook of Braitleboro, is the
only regular candidate in the field. The
democratic candidates, with patriotism
truly commendable, have all declined, and
so has also Mr.. Tracy, as announced else
where.
Therefore let us all go TO the polls next
Tuesday, and show to the rebels and the
world, that we are united against treason.
Let us throw aside all personal feelings
vote for Holbrook, and we shall attain this
result.

HEAR rmm DEMOCRACY

The Oswcgo Go=cpe, an able Democratic
paper, is opposed to the war on sound prinsi-
pies. Bccau.o ii is opposed to the war, ii
says, +" il would crush by the whole power
of the nation its authors, who commenced
it by robbery and treason, AMI by cahnon-
aiding Fort Sumter" 1t is in fnvor of
peace" and to that end would put down re-
bellion with the strong arm of tbs law. 1t
is "opposed to taxation,' and therefore
would make the war as short rs possible by
bringing the whole force Of the Government
to bear upon it.
The Brooklyn Daily Standard, an able
Democratic paper, denounces the secession
proclivites and ut,crances OF Il portion OF
the Democratic press, aud cordially endor-
ses the recommendation Of Edward Everett,
that the Government at once suppress the
traitor journals, such as the New-York
NcVs, New-York Day book, sc. The
New York San earnestly urges the same
policy. The Binghamon Democrat, the
home organ of ID. ). Dickinson, declares ii
to be treason in spirit to harp about peace
and compromise, or seek to divide our peo'
pie by exciting political hatreds and divis-
ions, until rebellion is crushed out and the
supremacy OF the constitution and the Union
Is established.
In Minnesota, Earle S. Goodrich, chair
man, editor of the Pioneer and Democrat,
Col Robertson, and w. w. Phelps, being

mittee of that state, have resigned, giving
as their reasons that there can be no issue
between the Democratic and Republican
parties in the coming elections, except upon
the question of the war. and on that
they were with the administration.
