The tone of the French Journals On the
American Rebellion show a decided lean
ing to the rebel side. The Paris papers
are also full of comments on the signs and
temperof the English toward our country.
The Journal des Debats thinks that
Lord Palmeston's intentions towards the
United Statcs are no. pacific.
The Paris Temps in announcing that
Mason and Slidell are expected to arrive at
Havre shortly, says: No obstacle will be
offered to the fulillment of their mission
to France and England, The plenipoten-
tiaries of the South, Will be allowed to
plead for the recognition of the South.
The Presse says the French Govern
ment cannot receive Messrs. Slidell and
Mason, nor any other Southern Commits
sioner. The Independence Beige saws that
France will assume the initiative in max
ing diplomatic remonstrance against the
blockade of the ports of tho South, and
that England will afford France moral
support. The Moniteur saws that the
number of partisans in England for the
recognition of the Southern Confederacy
increase, and that there is no doubt that
MANY will advocate this measure in the
approaching session of Parliament. Trade

pect they will have but little work here
as the remainder of Zollicoffers forces
have crossed the river above here and
burned their best boat. Really it seems
as if we were to see no fighting after all
The Col. told us today we would probably
remain here until next month, perhaps
longer. We get very little news HERE
There are runors of fighting at Columbus,

definite is known about it here. That

We do not feel guilty of vain-boasting,
when we say that the Chronicle is present
ed to its numerous readers this week
much improved, in mechanical appear
Ance, and in the quantity and quality OF
its contents.
Tho type in which the reading matter is
set, is of smaller body than that previous
ly used, yet Is still sufficiently large and
clear to be read without wearying the
eyes. We are enabled, bS the use of this
new type, and the frightening of the
columns on the first page, as well as by
oopdensing advertisements, to increas the
amount of reading matter more than one
third, permitting us to give a more gen
eral summary of the news than hitherto.
VIZ hope to be able to render the Groni-
sk first class county paper, and shall
spare no pains to that end.
This improvement has entailed upon US
Ahesyy expense, and we would be much
gratifed to have the cooperation of
friends throughout the county, in efforts

nent. A word from one neighbor to

Gen. Lanes Expedition.

Major General Hunter, in command of
the Department of Kansas, announces
that the Cherokee expedition, heretofore
popularity known as Gen. Lanes" is Gen.
Lanes no longer, but his own as he him
self will take command in person. His
special order to this effect, lays down the
details ola brigade organization and equip
ment. He will divide the column into
six brigades, one of which will be COM
manded by Lane, another probably by
Jennison and the other four by the sem
ior colonies, unless las has been requested)
the Government gives him B~rigadiers
enough to fill the bill. This action of
Gen. Hunter has not been unexpected,
either by Gen. Lane or his friends, and it
argues nothing of a change of policy, un-
der whichever the column shall move for
ward. The relations of Hunter and Lane
are most friendly, and the Government
Jas also Gen. Lane himself) expressly de-
ferred to the former, as an officer of high
er rank, to decide for himselJ whether he
would take the chief command. The
troops are rallying at Leavenworth, and
will move forward with as little delay as
possible. Gen. Lane had arrived at Leav-
enworth before the issue of this order, and
it was probably made as the result Of a
conference between the two gentlemen.

PrOgreSS,

When, early in the 10th century, the
formation Of Colonies, in the then unex-
plored regions of North America, began
10 be considered in England, among the
first things provided for them, was gov
eminent; and as at that time the King
was looked upon as the. representative of
the Almighty, by whose grace he reigned,
and from whom he derived his power, all
all government and governmental powers
were obtained from him. Accordingly,
the governments organized fer the Colo
uies of Virginia and New England, con-
sisting OF executive, legislative and judici-
al departments, depended each, directly
or indirectly, upon that source for their
existence. As these Colonies advanced,
the evils manifest in such a system more
and more exhibited themselves (such as
the appointment of favorites and friends
Of the King to places of the highest trust
and profit, without respect to fitness or
the wishes and interest OF the people gov
ernedl until at length urged by q spirit of
turbulence, the parent government yield
ed to the wishes of the people, and the
popular voice was first consulted. And
from that day to this, the idea then first
conceived, that the people had a interest
in the government under which they
might live, and that they had a right to
take part in its organization, advanced
steadily until the belief was nearly uni
versal that if the "voz popsE7' was not the
"Vor Da," it was, at least, the source and
basis Of all governmental power. For pop
ular government, the Revolution was
fought, sacred lives offered, and holy blood
poured out. In its support and praise,
orators have devoted their highest elo-
quence, and sages and statesmen have ex-
erted their chiSfest powers; but the light
of the 18th century, has, at length, dis
closed this illusion, and shown all these
sacrifices to have been in vain. The Hon.
Congressman, from this district, has been
able, at length, to discover the superior
ity of the system adopted by Queen EGz-
abeth and her successors, over that O pop-
ulsr government, IS established by the
Revolutionary fathers, and accordingly
proposes to revert to that. He offers q

January 9th 1862.

OAAP OREEN, ON THE CUMBERLAND,
4 MILES FROM JAMESTOWN, KY,
January oath 1862.
On the 18th soon after we left our camp
ing place we passed the greatest natural
curiosity 1 ever saw. 1t was a natural
bridge or a great hole through the hill,
being about $50 feet across Is feet high,
and a perfect arch. We were marching
between two hills or ranges of hills when
we came unexpectedly upon it. The ef
feet was strikingly beautiful. Looking
through beneath the arch, we could see
the Cumberland River running swiftly
and at full banks, swollen by late rains.
Talk if you will of the privations and
hardships of a s~oleiers lifel There is in it
that which well repays on who has any
desire to see the beauties and varieties of
his native country. We saw today for
the first; armed rebels. They were
across the river on the bluffs; they were
rather shy at first, lodging behind tho
trees and c~onoealing themselves, but find
ing We did not attempt to modest them,
they became more bold. We only saw
some s or 10 but from appearances 1
should judge there were more. The Col.
viewed them through his glass and found
them to berebel cavalry. The day before
five of Woodford's cavalry, KY, crossed
over anG attacked a squad of l6 they
killed 6 and retreated back loosing one
man. The rebels took the body of the
killed union man, placed him on a hill in
full view of the unionists on this side and
built a raiE-psn around his body. These
fellows have Of late been committing dep
rotations on the inhabitants south of the
river, robbing them of every thing they
could make use of and turning them
from their homes. They formerly infested
the country on this sideof the river but the
people being fearless for the Union, have
arisen and driven them from the neigh
borhood. Citizens here almost without
exception, go armed and doing a deal of
good in their way. Sunday the 10Th be-
ing still stormy and business not being
pressing, we laid over, Monday we carried
our things to the top of another HI mot
