on 4 series Of secession resolutions offered By
Walker Of bIacoupin, They propose an ar
mistice ard national peace convention at
Louisville, Ky. 4 sweet place, truly, for a
convention Of the kind. 4 colonel from our
army, who has been all through the battles in
Missouri md Kentucky, informs me that It is
full Of traitors. The object Of this conycn-
ton is to first acknowledge the Southern Con
with it. New England is not to be allowed
in. You may put this down as fixed fact.
There is no secret made here Of this design,
and 1t will be carried through If possible, ~

COLONEL WYNpHAM.-Colonel Sir Percy
wyndham, recently in command Of brigade
of cavalry in the Army of the Potomac, has
been summarily dismissed the service. No
charges appear TO have been made in bis case
and no reason has been assigned for his dis
missal. He merely loses bis honorable position
by an official violation Of the understood law
that the term Of a soldiers service shall be for
the war and during good behaviour. He has
been called an impostor by an Englishman,
who seemed to think ii preposterous that any
one should bear the name of Wyndham without
having had his especial permission to do So
But 10 this land Of liberal ideas, where we
hardly pretend to know our grandfathers, IL is
difficult to suppose that such matter could
have any influence against gallant gentleman
who had been wounded in our cause. Yet
there IL good reason TO believe that Colone
wyndbam was removed on account Of repre-
sentations against him made by Lord Lyons.

GENERAL RosECRANs' ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Nc
Cook has denied the assertion that he had pre-
ferred charges against the late commander Of
the Army Of the Cumberland; but that denial
hardly removes the popular impression that a
hostile influence inspired by him bad Its share
in the removal of his former commander. Se-
cretary Stanton home is at Steubenville. The
home of the McCook family is at the same
place, and the father Of the McCooks was for
merly the law partner of the Secretary. And
in the Secretary's interview with General Nc
Cook at Indianapolis, which took place just be-
fore Rosecrans' removal, il is possible that the
General and the Secretary gave each other
their respective views on the conduct Of the
war, dilated on their respective grievances, and
on the unftness of certain men for high posi-
tions. What could be more natural! Whether
or no tue Secretary Of War could be affected
against general by any other than official in
vestigaton the country may judge.

man Of the guard observed that the brush
wood was sgitated on sll sides, and could see
here and there the light Of the enemy's linstocks
shining. He gave the alarm, "The Annamites
are upon usp "Ah very WE'LL" replied the
French commander; ''they are coming. Then
open the gates" This was done. He then
ordered the men to fix bayonets, and forbade
single shot being fired. He made his men con-
ceal themselves by crouching in the shadow
around the court in which the fort was situated.
1t was then three in the morning The AMMAN
ties commenced firing; but, finding that no one
replied, and not seeing any one move, they
rushed forward and entered the fort, astonished
to find the gates open and nobody to receive
them. When the court was almost full the
French commander rose and called out. "Kill
them!" The slaughter of the Annamites then
commenced. Not one of those who entered
escaped. About the same time Annamite am
bassadors were the guests Of the Emperor in
Paris, and were 80 delighted with their reception
and with the manners and customs of the French,

ters. The trade Of the port Of Segon. in Cochin
China, is extensive, considering the liability Of
piratical depredations In 1860 the exports
consisted chiefly Of rice, of which 53,93s tons,
representing value Of 5.ls4,0o0 francs, were
exported by two hundred and forty-six vessels,
European aud Chinese, representing total
tonnage of 63,299 tons. The imports Of opium
amounted to about 500, 900 francs. and of other
goods to about one million of francs. The
value of other exports, besides rioe, was also
about one million. The total value of exports
and imports at Segon was therefore nearly
100000 francs In 1850 AMMAN is a country
of great richness and beauty, and splendid
foothold for the French Emperor preparatory
to the absorption Of other empires in the region
OF the Orient.

States to prevent the further spread Of
the influence Of two such Powers "a France

interests, commercially and politically, in
such rich marts as the ports of China, An
