France and the United Sta tes- The Pro-
 granlne of Napoleon.


 PARIS, January l6-The following is an ex~ tract from .n article iii this mornings edition of the Emperors personal organ, La Nufionel:
 The cotton industry will suffer forced lnac. tiyity until the relations of Europe with the United States shall be re-estabshed on their former basis. And such Is especially the end winch 1t IS our duty to pursue and to seek to realize, matter at what price. One ot the nraans which seems to De most proper and ex- pedi9us to arrive at this ut, was indicated in this place three days ago, and has not yet found contradiction:
 Force the blockade sword in hand.
 The plan is both proud and prompt.
 Now, 1t is to-day a we'll settled fact, that the battle of Frelrck soury has finally brought the last doubtipg members of the French governs ment to the conclusion that the separation in the United States is final and that the future policy of the French government is to be based on this dangerous assumpun. The nation be- ing therefore divided into two, and the charm of the old Union, with all it's 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 opln- ion that they can land on the American shore with a hundred thousand French soldiers and march straight through the country-whch IS only another way of expressing the contempt which has been inspired by the failures ot the American army. And however mach We may hold this expression of opinion iii contempt, It has an important political siguitcatoa, since the Emperor who reposes oa his army, Is ai- ways ready to be agreeable to t, aHd delights ln this confidence of his officers i'll their great Sn- perorl'y.
 am told that the following is the programme of the French government at the present mo~ ment: The government, having made An arr ramgement with Mr. Siidcll for a large qnanti- ty of cotton, will ask the American government for facilities for getting t out, promising, al the same time. that no contrabard of war shall be introduced in exchange, and, il the Amer tcan government will not cons mt to this, they will take 1t by force.
 The M9atic,tr seem, to have come out frank ly in favor of the rebellion.
 It abuses the government for not putting Gen. Butler on trial, and praises Gen. Banks with that faint praise which gives one the i'm prassiOn that they are sorry for the change in generals, since they have tlu~ lost capital point in the anticipated qu7rrel with the United States
 Mr. Lincola's emancipation proclamation ls received with exclamations of disgust and hate by the governmetal press, while the opposition journals are privately informed that they must b moderate, which amounts to an order to re- main silent.

of the line during the entire day. l forbear to mention, names for each seemed to vie with the other in deeds of gallantry, but one, must mention, that one is Maj. L. NJ. Ramsower, of the first regiment Arkansas mounted rifles; he was severely wounded in the last, charge made on the enemy's stronghold. To him much is due for the gallant charges of the day. To of fcers and men am indebted for the success of my command. Our country and the glorious cause in which engaged, can never sui fer while defended by such gallaat spirits. To the friends of the gallant dead, it is enough for them to know that they baptised their country with their blood, and gave their bodies willing sacrifice upon the altar of liberty; their gallant spirits have taken their flight to that land where the clash of arms and the shock ofbattle IS un~ known.

 All white male citizens of the Confederate States, between the ages of l8 and 70, who are not ex- empt by the act of October Ilth, 1869, are liable to conscription and all such as have been already enrolled and mustered, will be held though in service of the Confederate States, until otherwise ordered.

Such cases will not be re- ouired to report Tn person to the camp Ot instruc ton until final action is had on the same
 II. Enrolling officers are required to be vigiant in the discharge of their duties within the district contided to them, not only ill respect to the enroll ment of conscriptS, but also in the apprehension and arrest of stragglers and deserters from the army Complaints having been made of harsh treatment to conscripts by enrolling officers in cer tain localities, which treatment is calculated to prejudice the cause of the Confederate States, by encourag gng opposition to the acts of conscriplon, it will be the duty of Commandants of Camps of Instruction to report to the Secretary of War, for discharge from conscript service, any officer who shall offend in this particular. It is required of all enrolling officers to encourage and promote good understanding with the people of the district in which they may be serving; and it is impressed on them, that hrmness of purpose tempered with kindness and fOrbearance, will best promote the objects to be attained.
 III. Enrolling officers will furnish to Command ants of Camps of lnstructon at the end Of each month, q compete roll of the conscripts made by them during tho month. Such rolls will also en- brace the names of persons who have been enroll ed, and exempted within that period One copy of these rolls will be immediately forwarded by the Commandants of the Camps of Instruction to the Chief of the Bureau of Conscripton in Rich- mond for file and future reference.

Tus YANKEE NATIONAL SoNG.-Ita appears that the Republicans have adopted the famous John Browns Souls Marching "On as a national song, and no one can dispute the propriety of the selection. Ii is impossible to imagine anyth- irg more atrocious than the poetry, except the sentments, nor more abomnible than the sub ject exceptthe people. more faithful type of the Puritan race than John Brown could not be found. A fanatic, horse thief and mur derer, no one can dispute his claims to be the patron saint of the rogues and ruflians who are marching on, stealing and butchering as they go.
 The French have the 'Marsellaise, the Br- tons "God Save the Queen,' the United States once had 'IIail Columba' and the Yankees "Yankee Doodle, "-an appropriate air for them in their days of simplicity-but "John Brown, is the melody of all others suited to their cause and full blown depravity, It is redoent of all the peculiar characsiics of that peculiar people. The horse thief, murderer, and insurectionlsts, was the true representative of the spirit and character of this whole invasion, and his igno- nous end of the destiny which awaits it.
