irFYIcAN AFFAERS

The rumored occupation of Sonora by the
French, and Of is proposed colonization
through the agency Of DR.. Ggin, is again
revived. The New York Express asserts
positively that such an arrangement has been
entered into, and tina. d.. GEin, who is now
on his way to Sonora, is 10 proceed to Arispe,
which has been selected ar tho new seat Of
government. The position which he is to
occupy there is that Of Director-in- Chief,
and in the exercise of bis functions he Is to
be supported by = sufficient force Of French
troops under command Of Marshal BaEaine.
From San Francisco We learn thai party
OF Mexican emicrsnts, some four hundred
and fifty in number, who we're about TO sail
from that port for Arizona, were detained by
the military authorities until instruct ions in
regard TO them should 10 received from
Washington. The emigraDts were priuci-
pally native Ncxicaas, and as two hundred
and sixty cases Of firearms had been shipped
by the same vessel, il was suppose that their
intention was TO Join the Liberals under
Juarez.
Advices received from As.amor5s, Mex
leo, dated on the 4,h irs;., say that the In
perialists then still held that town, and it vas
believed that the Republicans, under Ne
CRETE, we're Withdrawing from in front OF It.
There was still great excitement IN the place,
and communication with the interior was cut
of, as Monterey and CSmargo were in pos
session Of the Republicans.

after After g few ad hours n Illness IHoMs JEN-
son Of Thomas and Marian Flanagan.
In the birth Of this child, Heaven be-
stcwed on these parents one Of her choicest
and most beautiful gifts, He was their
souls beat idol.too lovely, too. pure, for
to call him home to dwell with angels, who
now are encircling wreaths ON his beaute-
GUS brow, and teaching him to lisp infant
praises to his Creator. But now the ago
nized parents are weeping; their hearts are
crushed and sorely wounded; they miss
their little treasure-they miss their dar-
ling child, and they cannot be comforted,
even i'll the blessed assurance that he has
made a glorious exchange, and is numbered
among the redeemed.
Thou art gonel Thou art gone
Oh! beautiful babe;
The Saviour has called thee,
And we could not refuse.
Thou art sleeping, thou art happy,
And we know thou art resting
On the bosom Of him who was slain.

i GERAGAN EanGilATIoN.A wonder
ful stimulus has been impaired to;
emigration from. Germany since the
close Of the war. It appears that the
facilities for transporting to this coun-
try the number Of people who are NJ
Iacted hither by the prosperous
future Ii store for, tho United States
IS entirely inadequate to the demand.
We learn from our Berlin correspond
ent that two new steamers are being
built IN Glasgow for the Bremen
Lioyd's line to New York. which will
make seven large steam vessels on
this line The Hamburg and New
York Company will in future run one
OF their seven steamers regularly
each week. The competition between
these direct German lines and the
southampton steamers has resulted
IN considerable reduction of fare on
both lines. From all the projects
now III contemplation it would appear
that the tonnage of steam vessels
plying between the United States and
Europe will soon amount to q million
Of tons.
The emigration OF Germans will
prove a. great benefit TO this country
IN the present crisis. They are lust
the class OF people to take hold of the
Southern plantations and cultivate
them to the highest point. With this
KIND OF labor in the Southern States,
together with the improvements in
machinery, we should not be sur
Pr1sed to see an increase in the
amount Of cotton raised of fully one
third over that produced by slave
labor and hand work in the field.

PREDICTION OF DAVIS RELEASE.
The Washington correspondence of the
Philadelphia Ledger writes, under date
of Thursday:
Let me repeat q prediction I gave
yon a month or so ago, that, the re-
lease OF Davis is only Question of
time" From sources of information
which [ cannot dispute, I learn that
tae President has 10 idea of brin pino
him to trial, bat as soon as all the
States are in harmonious working
order with the Government, the pri,
son doors ef Davis will fly open, and
hc Will be q free man.
This, J. am assured, was the intcn-
ton of his Excellency long before the
petitions from the respective States
were poTIed III for his release. and
these, with the action of the NIissis-
slppi,. Alabama and South Carolina
Conventions, looking to the same end,
have more than confirmed the Presi-
dent in his belief that the trial or fur
ther disgrace Of the rebel leader is
not demanded either for the country's
good or the vind;cntion of it's honor

News from, Now orlen,,s.

New ORLEANS, October 14.-Mr.
Watterson, the Special Agent of the
Govern naeat, sent to inquire into the
condition of. Southern affairs, left
yesterday afternoon, after a short
stay. 1t isunderstood that his opinion
OF the Freedmen's Bureau is that it is
an unnecessary burden to the Govern
ment.
The Provost Marshal has ordered
an inspection of the city registered
voters, with view to strike from the
rolls q certain portion charged with
acts of disloyalty antesedent to the
PRESIDENTS amnesty proclamation.
and OF those who, in 1862, registered
themselves enemies of the United
States. This would strike off one
fifth OF the registered voters of the
city. Gov. Wells protests against
this as an interference with an esta-
bhshed State law. If the Provost
Marshal persists, Gov. Wells will
appeal to the President.
