Foreign Intervention.

The news of the defeat of the Federal
Grand Army at Fredericksburg, together
with the blow-up in the Cabinet, will
reach Europe on OF about the first of Jam
uary, and, it is predicted by some of the
leading journals Of the country, will give
a smart impetus to foreign Intervention.
We have watched closely the course of the
French and English governments for the
past year, and confess our fears of then
unfriendliness. We have not, and never
had a particle of confidence in their pro
fessions of friendship. They are governed
solely by self-interest. Beneath their oily
professions of friendship, we detect the dag,

Gerrett Davis resolution of censure Of Mr..
Buchanan in the Senate a day or two since
was tabled by a majority that probably finally
disposes of il.
/ Whatever the faults of Mr.. Buehanan's ad-
m nistration, they were so slight in compare
son with the crimes Of this administration
that he is likely to make a very reputable
figure in history. A republican member of
Congress Rverred that the government had
been plundered of a greater amount during
the first year Of this administration than the
entire annual expenses Of the government
previously. So far as stealing is concerned,
then, Buchanan has the best record. - 2
That he did not prevent the rebellion should
be no reason of eensure of him by the aboli.
%tionists. They were constantly assuring him
that there would be no rebellion The South,
they said, could not be kicked ont Of the I'm.
ion.i There would have been no rebellion had
the Crittenden compromise been accepted by
the abolition Congress. Mr.. Lincoln and this
Congress are deeper in the mud than Buch
anan was in the mire as to not preventing the
rebellion.
MIR, Buchanan was never charged with de
liberate violations Of the Constitution. The
passage Of the indemnity bill Is proof furnish
ed by this Congress that the President has
repeatedly violated it, and might be justly
impeached for it.
Censure of Mr., Buchanan, however richly
deserved, does not belong TO this Congress-
It has infinitely more to do than it can &C
complish in erasing the blots from It's owl
record.

The Leader has no regret for the thous-
ands of brave mel who were sacrificed
butchered-in the Fredericksburg ~blundet;

widows and orphans which it has male,
but with the utmost sang Jroid says it has
demonstrated that our army was not held

sands of dollars and many valuable lives.
Is the knowledge worth the cost ? And
if it cost the Government fifteen thousanH

whether the rebels had wooden or metal
guns in their Notifications at Fredericks
burg, what would it have cost to capture
them.

"You will inform the inhabitants for ten or

B6S- We are told that "Vallandigham and
Cox, and other copperheads, are making all
the trouble they can in Congress, but their
measures are promptly voted down" Terrible
fellows are Vallandigham, Cox and other cop
perhesds. The trouble they have been
making in Congress, has been efforts to ascer-
tain by what authority the Postmaster Gener-
al excluded certain newspapers from the mails,
and why the Constitution was violated in the
arrest and imprisonment of citizens Of loyal
States, and in opposing Abolition schemes.
The mass of the people will be more disposed
to commend than to condemn as much Of this
sort of trouble as they may seem disposed
to make in Congress- Wiliicothe Advert

1t IS truly strange what otrouble these
"copperheads' are giving the Abolish, both in
Congress and out of it. The stalwart and

dering ~eloquence of DR.. Odds, from the loath-
some dungeons of Fort Lafayette sends ter
ror to their guilty souls and the Democratic
press, which they have been unable fully to
muzzle, causes them to quake for the retribu-
ton that is to follow the evil deeds which they
have committed.
The course Of MesSrs. Vallandigham, Odds,
Cox, and other true Democrats, will be sus-
tanned and applauded by the people, long after

a5les-that it would be pity not TO give
il publicity through every channel that
offers, not that we think It produces any
effect 10 scold aud fume about these Crea-
tures-and that is exactly why we prefer
TO see them sketchcd as they are to por-
tray, rather than 10 comment; to show
the revolutionary unreasOnableness Of
their character and habits, instead Of
merely denouncing them because they
are unreasonable. A portrait Of vice will
tell better, any day, than a homily upon
it.
The French novelist breaks forth--fo
prying into any human affairs, none are
equal to those it does not concern, "Why
does this gentleman never come till
dusk 2" "Why does not Mr.. So-and-so
hang his key on the nail on Thursday"
why does Madame always leave her
carriage before getting to the house ?n
"Why does she send TO buy quire of
writing paper when she has her portfolio
full of it?n There are persons who, TO
solve these engmas, which are moreover
perfectly immatcrial TO them, spend more
money, waste more time, and give them
selves more trouble than would suffice
for ten good deeds, and that gratuitously,
for the pleasure Of il, without being paid
for their curiosity in any other way than
by curiosity. They will follow this
man, or that woman, whole days-stand

teries published, these enigmas brought
into light of day, lead to caiastrophies,
to duels, TO failures, TO the ruin of fami-
lies, and make lives wretched, to the
great joy of those who nave discovered
all without any interest and from pure
instinct. A sad thing. Some people are

Their conversation tattling in the draw
