FRANCE AND THE UNITED STATES .-Proposed
Form and Node Of Mediation The New York
Times publishes a letter, dated Paris, January
10th, from which we take the following
Now it is to-day well settled fact that the
battle of Fredericksburg has finally brought
the last doubling members of the French GO
vernment TO the conclusion that the separation
in the United States is final dndthdt the future
policy of the French government is 10 be based on
this dangerous assumption The nation being
therefore divided into two, and the charm Of
the old Union, with all its souvenirs, gone,
why, they say shall we not have cotton and a
revival Of trade?
The officers OF the French army may be
heard now on all occasions expressing the OPT
MON that they can land on the American shore
with hundred thousand French soldiers, and
march straight through the country is
only another way of expressing the contempt
which has been inspired by the failures of the
American army. And however much we may
hold this expression Of opinion in contempt,
it has an important political Specification, since
the Emperor, who reposes on his army, is al
ways ready to be agreeable to 1t, and delights
in this conf dence Of his officers in their great
superiority.
am told that the following is the pro-
gramme of the French government at the pre-
sent moment: The government having made
an arrangement with Mr.. Slidell for large
quantity of cotton, will ask the American GO
vernment for facilities for getting it out, pro-
missing, at the same time, that no contrabaGd
OF war shall be introduced in exchange, and
il the American government will not consent
to this, they will take it by force.

Es- By the arrival at New York of the
steamer Australasian we have European adj
vices TO the 18th ult. American affairs still
continued to be freely discussed in the English
journals. Looking to the possible consequences
of the Emancipation Proclamation, the Lon
don correspondent of the Manchester Guardian
usually very accurate carbohydrates
that the first outrage committed by the slaves
will be Immediately succeeded by European
Intervention. The London Times defends the
British Government from the charges brought
against it in relation to the Alabama by the
New York Chamber Of Commerce.

GEN SroSEwALL JAoKsoS's CHAPLAIN.-A
Washington despatch says
Gen. Stonewall Jackson's chaplain, Rev. j .
Landstreet, recently captured by our cavalry,
was at the War Department to-day for the
purpose Of affecting an exchange. He is n
Methodist preacher of much talent. He stated
to several persons that the watchword of The
rebel States was conquer OF die;" that the
last chance Of a reunion was destroyed, and
that the recent speech Of jeff Davis was hearth
ly endorsed by the whole people. While he
did not attempt 20 conceal the fact OF a def
cheney Of clothing and equipments among the
rebel forces, be consoled himself with the be-
lief that Providence, who fed the children Of
Israel with mama, would furnish food and
clothing for the rebels The negroes, he says,
never were so subservient as now, owing to
strict police measures that had been adopted,
and 10 the circulation Of accounts Of returned
contrabands vino told fearful stories Of the
cruel manner in which the Yankees had treat
ed them.

CALL FOR SHoEMAKERs.-Ou town is sad
ly in want of a shoemaker, and we but ex-
press the general opinion of the community,
that an industrious and steady workman, in
this line, would do well to locate himself
among us. We are now without any one to
whom to apply for remedy to our need in this
respect Will not some knight of the awl'
give us some better understanding on the sub
ject, and that quickly.

PaEsEavIye THE UNION 1T is proper that the
public should know and understand that the
Aboltionists in Congress succeeded, on Mon
day last, in passing bill to add So 900 negro
volunteers to the Federal army. This most mi
quitous measure, although most strenuously
combatted, during its discussion, by all The
better portion of Congress, was finally carried
by vote of SO yeas to So nays.
Amongst its most determined and Jealous
opposers was the Maryland delegation-except
Mr.. CALVERT, who was not present The mem
bcr from Baltimore city, tMr. MAY, was par
tieuarly severe in his denunciations Of the
bill, which he characterized as " most abhor-
rent, preposterous and disgraceful--that it
would receive the condign Reproduction of all
mankind, and its authors be branded with
eternal infamy."
The proviso in the bill, that it is not to affect
the saves of any loyal citizen in certain OF the
border States, is really so sublimely ridiculous
ms to be quite funny. What, we pray, is to
prevent any negro in Maryland, who is SO dis
posed, and who has not the fear Of the galows
before bis eyes, from going out of the State to
enlistl or, on what evidence is the loyalty OF
his master TO be decided, if not upon that of
the negro himself?
We cannot conceive of more damnable
scheme 10 incite servile insurrection and muir
der. But will this calculation of the abolition
demons succeed We thiuk not. The negroes
have rather too much sense, and will not be SO
willing to become the instruments of their own
execution

more of his physical comfort than Of the de-

misery by relarding his liberation, and so Mr.
Boileau wrote letter to General Schenck,
