~ The purport of the note from the
Minister of Foreign Affairs, in France, is
said by the French papers to be as follows:
That the troubles in Poland have OCCASION
ed uneasiness through Europe, as they are
not the result of an ordinary or temporary
crisis. The periodical convulsions which
occur in that country are SYMPTOMS of in
veterate disease, and proving that the COM
binations and measures hitherto adonted
to reconcile the Poles to the situation in
which it was placed by the treaties of 1919
are still unsatisfactory to that people and
have failed of their object, These distnr.
Dances are cause of alarm to Europe. and Il
is, therefore, the interest of all the Powers
to see dangers, necessarily reviving, def.
nitely removed. Notes of similar import
from England and Austria were presented
10 the Russian Emperor simultaneously
with this, who is reported to have been sur
prised at their unison. We suppose this ia
thsdiplonatic method of saying. s.Gratifv
The desires Of the Poles, or we win unite to
make yoG--g see can make anything butt,

e ~ Judging from the tone of foreign
news by late arrivals, the uneasiness in
Europe on the Polish question is steadily
increasing, and the belief is fast gaining
ground that a general war is imminent
Sweden, it is supposed, will first be drawn
into it, and then it will at once assume
larger proportions. An offensive and de-
fensive alliance between France and Swe-
den is already spoken Of. AS to the grounds
of these impressions and apprehensions,
we are not sufficiently posted to form any
opinion. If a war there will help the
Poles and also Indirectly assist us, we don't
know that we have any right to object
to it, and perhaps we ought to desire it.

SINaULAR.-The London Times de-
nounces General Butler. The Copperheads
denounce General Butler. The traitors of
the South, from JEFF. Davis up or down to
the highest or the lowest, denounce General
Butler. They unite in their denunciations,
too, for an identical ason,-because he
has displayed o disposition and ability
to strike hard and telling blows at rebels
and the Rebellion. Why is this unity of
sentiment and similarity of expression?
Can it be accounted for on any other princi-
pie than that they all desire the success of
the traitors and the destruction of the
Union? The rebels, we know, not only de-
sire but rebelled to accomplish that end
The Times has continually given utterance
to the same philanthropic wish. Even
some of the leading Copperheads have ven-
tured to avow the same insane hopes and
designs. Don't they constitute most re-
putable trinity? Traitors on this side the
ocean, and the chief organ and instrument
of aristocrats and public oppressors on the
other, united to overthrow Republic, aid
ed by sympathizers who aver that they are
"Democrats!'' Is that the sort of "Democ-
racy'' the people of this country should adj
mire or which they should support?

1 The correspondent of the New York
Times, in his account of the great conflict
before Fredericksburg, has seen proper to
speak in the most disparaging terms of
the German soldiers in Towards, late ST.
gels Corps. The Corps is spoken of as
though composed wholly of Germans
This is not the case, and it is doubtful
whether the German element is even in the
majority. In regard to the facts we have
no means of knowing anything. But we
viii venture the prediction that when the
truth is known, it will be found that the
Corps has been wronged-that the account
Of their bad behavior has been greatly ex-
aggerated-that whatever disgrace may at
ZACH to our arms, in this battle, cannot be
wholly charged upon the German soldiers.
We shall see.

The Anglo-Saxon came next, and passed
both Vicksburg and Warrenton, compare
lively uninjured.
Lastly, the Moderator followed, with the
same success. u reu
There were several men wounded, but l
have not heard of any loss Of life, except in
the instance above mentioned.
When it is remembered that these boats
were compelled to run before the fearful
batteries of Vicksburg and then at Warren
ton, twelve miles below, and that their pro-
lection by cotton bales was imperfect and
utterly inadequate, it is most wonderful
that SO little damage was done. Few lives
are lost, and all the boats, except the Ii
gress are to-day in running condition. The
feat must also be regarded as a most daring
one. The pilots were utterly unprotected.
Even the sash was taken from the windows
of the pilot-house. g3 r.H i
Moreover, the enemy anticipating the
attempt, had made full preparations to give
the feet terribly warm reception. No
sooner had the first boat entered the chan
mel, than the whole town was illuminated
blazed in every direction, throwing the
light of day on the waters to the opposite
shore. Then their artillery opened with a
roar and thunder that shook the hills and
echoed along the bayous for miles, leaving
us, who heard it in the distance, little hope
for the daring crafts. Files of soldiers
with muskets in their hands, lined the
shores on either side, and blazed away in
cessantly. M.
Nevertheless the boats passed through
the fiery ordeal triumphantly--came Out
from "the jaacs of death'-'.tron, the 7noutl
of he'll" comparatively unscathed! There
are now at least nine transports below the
Warrenton batteries, nearly all of them in
running order. Captain Rabbit, of the 23d
Indiana Volunteers, was a volunteer Off
Ger on one of these boats. He stood in the
pilot-house and on the deck during the
transit of the batteries. ats5 slas

Wool GROWERS CONVENTIONAL con-
yention Of wool growers was held at Cleve-
land the other day, and was largely attend
ed. Theprincipal topic discussed was SHOULD
shearing be done before or after washing.
After careful consideration, it was resolv-
ed that the practice of washing sheep be
abolished, because, First-It permits of
early shearing, which secures a greater
quantity Of wool, a longer staple and bet
ter condition of sheep and lambs through
the year. Second-Of the exposure to con-
tagious diseases, such as scab, foot rot, &C.,
in places freqnented by different focks to
be washed. Third-It is an expensive, I'M
pleasant job, and unhealthy both for man
and sheep. Fourth-That the manufactur-
er must cleanse the wool at all events, and
he can do it cheaper than the grower
Fifth-That it is to the interest of wool
growers to put their unwashed wool in as
good condition as possible, by Keeping their
yards well Uttered, and by throwing away
all filth that can beseparated from the wool.
Sixth-Some lots of wool are more gross
and gnnliny than others therefore no rate
OF deduction could be agreed upon, suitable
70 All grades and classes, but that each lot
should be bought upon its own merits for
Quality and condition. Seventh-As gem
orally practiced, washing is little or no inn
provement TO the fleece.
