A chronic fear of French aggression
prevails among men of all parties in Bel
glnm. The recent words Of NJ. Won Bis
marck about France scckn compensation
for an extended. Prussian frontier in an
other direction than that of Germany. are
construed to imply some species Of under
standing between the Governments of
Paris and Berlin. Ten Years ago, the
Catholic party in the Belgian Chambers
were more than half disposed TO pal,er
with the idea OF annexation to France,
believing as they then did that Napoleon
Ill was the chief prop and stay Of the
HoDe's temporal power. Gut that dream
has vanished and neither they nor their
opponents, The radicals, are now inclined
to press the Government taclio;slv, being
restrained by the predominant distrust OF
French ambition.

press the matter on the minds Of our
landed proprictors. The present is
the time for action. The interests of
all demand that there should be a
prompt movement.
In short time the 1o7th New
York Regiment, who have been doing
provost guard duty in this city s!nce
its occupation by the Union forces,
will he mustered out of service. Many
Of them have expressed desire to
settle in our midst. We hope this
desire will meet with proper encour-
agement from our citizens and land
owners. They arc body of inteli
gent, educated young men, trained to
habits Of industry and economy. Their
gentlemanly bearing and conduct have
earned the respect and good vii! of
all. AS residents they woUld readily
assi:nilatc witt. the citizens, and be-
come a valuable acquisition to society
and the State generally. For every
one of the 10Th soldiers induced to

God Sends the Food and the Devil

ingly introduce you, dear reader, to Ger.
tain Mr.. Clarence Cooke. a contributor to
the Independent, quasi religious paper.
Mr.. Cooke is the prophet of miscegration.
He undertakes to enlighten the white race
ms TO the qualities Of the black He gives
US to understand that the white race is
something OF a failure; a great mistake
perhEs, in which we could never by any
possibility get right or settle down in our
true statux. unless a certain thing shall
happen. What is tha,s you ask. 1t is
n'iSeeyaotton--the amalgamation of the
black with the white blood; thsa alone
shall save the white race from pcr,lition.
Without this amalram, we are to reach
no high condition in art or civilization.
We must owe it all TO Crfi4c and the
daughters Of Cuh'ee. The true philoscp phc-
Will now take negro wife, and become IL
proper heir Of grace an'. a type ofsuperior
excellence. Until this incorporation is
complete, fig for all your Saxon, Gothic
or Celtic performances. Great painters
and great poets you are not to expect, nor
great philosophers. You will need some
three generations under this benign dis
pensatlon of miscegnation, before YOU
shall develop to the perfect standards OF
Mr.. Clarence Cooke. whom, from his be

Legation for some months.
1t is also announced that MIR. Drouyn del

burg, dating the 28th. learns that the recent
rebel ram movement on the James Was
deeper in design than appeared on the face
it.
The rams were to move down the river
just as they did and destroy our pontoons
Signal rockets, etc., were to be sent, by
which means intelligence was to be convey
ed to Gen. Lee that the pontoon part Of the
business had been accomplished.
After destroying the pontoons the rams
were to prevent reinforcemcnts being sent
from the south to the north side Of the
James.
simultaneously with the above, Lee was
to commence a dashing and surprising at
tack on Gen. Ord's lines on the north side
of the James, having massed heavy force
in front of them for that purpose, and at
tempt by overwhelming numbers and the
suddenncss and brilliancy of the attack, the
destruction Of that part Of Grants army.
