French Intervention.

We are now getting all varieties of exciting ru-
mors respecting the purposes of the French En-
peror in Mexico, and his feelings toward the
Southern Confederacy. Asa general thing We
do not place much dependence upon these guess
es and the pretended information of newspaper
correspondents, yet as journalist it is our duty
to give them to the public,-or at least such por-
tons of them as seem to be seriously put forth
by their auhors,-A recent telegram brings the
following sensation report:
The Washington correspondent of the Herald
furnishes a statement, which that paper heads,
" startling if true" to the effect that Stephens
mission to Washington was to consult with our
authorities as TO whether satisfactory terms Of
compromise might be arranged so that the rebel
confederacy might be saved the disgrace of inv-
ting foreign aid. The foreign aid is said to be an
arrangement with France, by which she is to CO.
operate with the rebels by her fleets and army in
exchange for the possession Of Texas, and Mr..
Stephens is now in Paris, it is alleged, efecting
this arrangement.
The above is unquestionably all guess work,
though it is not, of course impossible that there
may be some truth in it. There can be no doubt
thai Napoleon would like above all things to make
acquisitions of territory on this continent; bit
how far he would dare to go in the way of inter-
vention, to accomplish that result, is not SO ell
ascerained. The rebels are in such straits as to
make them willing to purchase foreign interven-
ton at almost any sacrifice of terrtory,-though
they might be troubled somewhat about the de-
livery of the goods-but that the Emperor of the
French will hazard war with the United States
for the very remote chance of charging the boun-
daries of his Mexican Empire, doesn't yet seem
probable. 1t is, however, of the contingencies
which our Government ought to take into the &C.
count.
We have also by the steamship City of Cork,
from Queenstown the 7tb, the following:
"a despatch from Paris, dated on the 9Th
inst, in the evening says the announcement re-
speeding the victualing of the Florida at Brest in
the Moniteur is supposed 20 be still more ex-
pclt declaration on the part of France that the
period OF neutrality is fully passed."
This item of news is not the pleasantest in the
world. A nation with whom we are at peace,
and to whom we have given no occasion for any
but the kindest feelings towards US, receives IN
violation of it's declared neutrality, the pirate
ships of our enemy into its ports, and permits it
there to be repaired victuaed and furnished for
a new career of piracy and burning against our
commerce on every sea. 10 view of such news
as this, it is not singular that there should be
some apprehension of a collision with the French
OF course our Government will avoid such cal
amity if they can with honor, until the rebellion
is suppressed. Yet there are some lndlsn'tleS
which no nation can submit to without lasting
disgrace and it is by no means improbable that
France may yet compel us into foreign war.

Agent of Exchange.

10 the Ladies' Of South Western Virginia:
vEyHOSE who desire to render q valuable SER
l. vice to the country, and to confer a benefit
upon the suffering soldier, are earnestly invok-
ed to lend their aid to the Medical Department
in extending the cultivation of the common gar
den Poppy, and the preparation of Opium there
from by the following easy process;
A few days after the flower falls, horizontal
incsions are to be made on the pod or capsule,
care being taken not to cut too deep SO as to
penetrate its cavity, white juice flows out,
which appears in the form of tears upon the
edges of the incision. The juice is left in this
state for twenty four hours, after which it is to
be sc1aped off with dull or blunt knife. 1t
should then be put into shallow vessels and kept
until sufficiently hardened, when it is to be put
in suitable vessels and forwarded to this Depot.
All the different varieties of Poppy yield Opt
mn, aud may be raised for this purpose. This
IS a light ana agreeable service, and it is hoped
that the ladies' will lend their assistance. Should
any one desire it, liberal price will be paid for
any quantity which may be delivered at this
office. Any person having a surplus of Poppy
seed, even in very small quantities, win be paid
a liberal price for them if delivered at this De-
Dot. w. B. ROBERTSON.
