But ltHe Is known 10 this country OF the ex-
tent of suffering in the manufacturing districts
of France. But 1t has attracted the atten-
tlar Of shs people Of France, in consequence Of
the attempt Of the government to solicit private
ala 6rthe hundreds CT thousands Of operatives
row Starving; but lie people, being fully sws7e
tbat the government has fall knowledge Of all
matters Of public interest and feeling confident
they had been deceived as to the true state Of
sasirs, refused to respond. In other words, they
are SO wen aware that the reports made by the
officials are almost generally false, that they are
mot easily moved TO a sense Of the wants Of any
portion Of the people, OF if msde cognizsns Of
he extreme desatution Of the people, At once
assert that it is the affair Of the government, and,
as it NEEDLES IN al other matters, they throw
the burden Of relief upon il.
Hence the saFsrings Of the operatives in
France have been dreadful, IS they have not
bean relieved, the government having but scanty
means to apply to such purposes. A bold
writer in one Of the Paris weekies, however,
has dared to describe the condition Of the work
ing classes in tho department Of the Seine. He
says:
There are in the Seine I~nfeTieur 100000
spindles IA 900 looms, tbirty-two chintz manu-
factories and 64.O00 hsBd looms. Well, in or
sdissrv times, the manufactures employ 10000
working men. Nowadays they employ
scarcely 10000. Consequently 10000 are out
Of work. Each hand loom must occupy q man
and q woman or q child, il al $4,000 hands
Since the crisis five weaTers out OF SIX stand
still for the want Of work; IN other words there
are about 1924 600 weavers in 3 state OF starva-
ton. Nor do those fare much better whose
work is, either directly or indirectly, connected
with the manufactures 50 that the number Of
persons in utter restitution round Rouen IS
reckoned at 100000. As the night comes on
all the BIZ streets begin to swarm with famished
s~pecters. In the surrounding country little
boys wander up and down in quest Of q sew
potatoes. Sometimes they are obliged to 60 SO
far ~ order to get them that they cannot come
hack home until the day after. 10 many 8
commune" witheFed leaves are burned in lieu
of wood or coal. No bed, no linen are 10 be
found there. The children sleep on a bit Of rot
ten straw, the psrents on q plank
This is a narrowing statement and yet it il
said to fall short of the actual state Of misery
and d-esatufon throughout other manufacturing
districts. It is evident Napoleon must end re
lief for his suffering subjects, as to him and lin
alone they can look for aid.

From the Memphis BaIetin, Jan. Goth
We hsve adYices rom Jackson, Miss, I'd the
22d and Grenada to the 25th.
There has been a very large concentration of
rebel force al along the lire between Jackson
and Grenada, and on toward Oxford.
A. Grenada alone, the rebel force is estimated
At upwards of $4,000, The place has been
strongly fortified, ard they row boast that it
capnot be taken by any force which can be
brought eganstit.
A large force has been engaged repairing he
railroad from Oxford to Holly Springs. Three
brigaies Of this force were last heard from be-
tween TaIlahAlehis and Holly Springs, repairing
ehe track.
Last Saturday morning Van Dorm, With eight
briaades, embracing cavalry, infantry and artil-
lery. left Grenada fr the north, via Cofeavine,
10 which point he would proceed by Railroad.
His destination was SAID to be Memphis, but we
suspect he i striking loT the Charleston rail-
road aud points beyond
Itsis supposed that tho rebels have been
gsroiigly Reinforced from Richmond and other
points gnl that they nave Transferred the real
fheater Of war from the capital to tbeir south
west border. Hspce their immense force and
unszampled activity
