French Mediation.

A correspondence between NJ. Thouvenal
the French Minister for Foreign Affairs and
NJ. Mercier the Diplomatic Representative
of France at Washington, has been sent
into Congress by the President. Thouvenal,
In very mild, courteous and modest Ian
guage, suggested the good which might
have been or might be realized by permit
ting France and other European powers to
mediate between the belligerents in our IN
happy civil war; but while regretting the
refusal of the Lincoln administration to &C.
oept the kind offices of foreign powers &C
quiesces in. the rebuff. Stewards response
to the proposal was an evasion rather than a
refusal; at least the main point of his reply
seems so. For he objects to the proposal
because he thinks there is better mode of
mediation than foreign governments can Of
fer or devise. namely, by Representatives in
Congress from the seeded States This
Idea syery rich and perfectly characteristic
of its source. Seward knows as we'll any
body else-and no intelligent man can be
ignorant of the fact-that what he proposes
Is, in the state of case, utterly impracticable;
and we believe he proposed it precisely be-
cause he knew 1t was impracticable. He
wishes to postpone an adjustment only that
the war for abolition may progress.
While we have always been opposed to
any form of foreign Intervention in regard
to our domestic affairs, we cannot but feel
indignant:at the Secretary of State putting
The objection to It on false basis.

Hooker and Bur inside.

Mcclellan was superseded by Burnside
and Burnside by Hooker, in the command
of the Army of the Potomac-the great
army which was organized for the capture
of Richmond. Mcclellan was undoubtedly
put out of command to crafty Abolition
grumblers, and Burnside was afterwards
sacrificed to appease the Molooh spirit
Hooker, who had succeeded Burnside, it
seems from the latest reports, was in great
measure responsible for Burnside's failure in
his operations on, the aRappahannock.--
Hooker has long been lusting for the com
mand which he has Obtained He wanted
it, not only to satisfy personal am btion, but
to carry out an Abolition programme. Lin
coin has given him the CO mmand-now let
us see what he will do with it.

Cassiug M. CLAW.

The Federal newspapers report Cassius
NJ. Clay, late Minister to Russia, but who
came home to receive the appointment OF
Major General in the Army. has decided to
sheath his bloodless sword and return to his
bloodless diplomatic post at st. Petersburg.
How is this? Why was he called home,
and why is he sent back? He has rendered
no military service. that we have heard Of,
since his return from Russia; aud he render
ed no diplomatic service there. except to
write home ridiculous letter or two. which
we half suspect, but for the cunning and in
sidious maliguity of Seward, would never
have been Published. The Administration
gave Clay no command in the field at home,
and will give him little power abroad. By
the wsy-how has he drawn bis pay of late
las Minister or General? Thisis a matter
which should be known to the public.

THE WAR NEWS.

Grant is still reported as employing his
army in digging the cutoff Canal intended
to make Yicksburg an Inland town. It is
said the work Is advancing satisfactorily
and that already ak feet of water flows
through. 1t is also said that Grant has
4, gone up the Mississippi on the Magnolia,
hunting higher ground for his camps, the
Hood threatning the foundations Of bis
camps near Vicksbury. Another cutoff is
also proposed, uniting Lake Providence
with Red River, and so turning the course
of the Mississippi river, by which Vicks-
barg will be thrown back inland a hundred
miles IN the woods.
5azRosecfans seems TO remain in stdtu quo at
at Murfreesboro, but though making no &C.
tive military movements, be has been wri-
ting Political Letters of late, displaying a
ferocious and brutal spirit, for which he
has been severely criticized even in north
ern Union papers. g
Il is new reported that Butler will return
to his command at New Orleans; that Ere =
mont has been assigned command in Tex
as; and that Mcclellan has demanded to be
placed IN active service. Hooker is still 10
active cnsthe Rappahannock, or preparing to
move TO another field of operation, as some
think. The Confederates having captured
q whole regiment Of Michigan forces in
Hooker'srear, In ten miles of Alexandra,
would seem to imply that Hooker's con-
dition is not very effective:
There is much threatening talk of Federal
operations against Charleston, s. c., but we
cannot get enough insight into the plans
and situation to give our readers any definite
Information.
The reported capture of 600 Of John
Morgan's cavalry at Lebanon, Tennessee,
turns out to be fable, with no other basis
than little skirmish without serious result
to either side.
