| NAPoLEoN'S RETICENsE.-The rema rk-
able secrecy Of the Emperor of France, in
preparing for war, is mentioned by Euro
pean correspondents. A late London letter
contains the following:
There are several submarine telegraph
| cables between this country and the adjacent
| coast, and many lines of steamers thous-
ands of people cross to and fro weekly
every English daily paper of any account
! whatever has a correspondent in Paris, or
some other French city; and yet we, in
common with the rest of the world, know
absolutely nothing in regard to French
military movements beyond what the En-
peror chooses to tells us himself in the col
umns of the Monite1r. We know all we re-
quire 10 know about such matters in Austria,
Prussia and Italy; the number of their
troops, the composition of their armies, the
principle commanders, and the position of
the various corps but France, our near
neighbor, whom we can see with the naked
eye across the ditch called the Channel, is
sealed book to us in all these respects.
When France believes her time has come
for interfering on one side or the other, we
shall very probably find her Emperor at the
head of a million Of men, and the army in a
finer condition and the treasury better filed
than at any previous period in the history
Of the country. The latter we know already
to be the case, for the current of gold from
east and west has set toward her during the
past twelve months and the Bank of France,
at the present moment, has upward of twen-
ty-four millions sterling, (Sl20o00,000 in
its vaults"

REJECTED NOMINATIONS.


The Senate has rejected the following
nominations of Assessors of Tennessee
JoHN W. Bowen, Sd district; ABNER A.

lectors, A. L. GARRETT, Sd district; Jos.
RAMSEY, 4th distrist- Washington Telegram
Of yesterday.
Such action as this deserves the serious
notice Of the American people The Presi-
dent is the responsible appointing power
within The scope of his Office Throughout
our previous history the confirmation of
nominations by the Executive has been a
matter of course. The advisory and con-
senting power ofthe Senate Is good in itself
but has rarely been exercised in opposi-
ton to the President In appointments en-
bracing so great territory, the Executive
cannot personally know all the applicants
for place, and it is for the Senators coming
from all parts 10 advise" him as to their
competency. But it was never designed that
the public interests Of great people should,
through these provisions, be made TO hinge
upon the fact Of general political accord be-
tween the President and the Senate On
the contrary, differing Senates and Presi-
dents have acted tremendously in this rela-
ton. Wing Senates confirmed the appoint
ments of Democratic Presidents, and Demo
cratic Senates confirmed those Of Wing
Presidents
How different in these degenerate days
Here is list Of appointments from the
Presidents own State, with every individual
on which he is personally acquainted, and
their competency and integrity unimpeaehed.
They are, moreover, gentlemen who exhib-
tied their devotion TO the Union under the
most trying circumstances, and some of
them fought in its defense. Why are such
men rejected? There is no reason publicly
assigned. But it is generally known that
they are looking to, and have labored for a
restoration Of Ehe Union upon the broad and
sufficient basis of the Constitution, and this
is the true ground of the rejection.
AhN iSNOiutiOItlg NOllBISSs HON III hcSolOH
has thus shown its determination TO change,
80 far as it is able, the course of proceeding
in this as well as other respects-in addition
to their thoroughly matured schemes for a
total change in our system of government.
While the President is earnestly and con-
stantly laboring to sustain the principles
upon which the wonderful fabric of liberty
in America was erected, his enemies are
striving to defeat his great purposes, and to
lay the foundation of a new theory, which,
though not yet defined, will one day fructify
into military or civil despotism, the most
intolerably crushing ever presented to the
eye of mankind
These reflections may be small in them
selves; but let it be not forgotten that houses
and cities are built of grains of sand, and
that the vast ocean is made of watery par
ticles, each perfect in itself, that it requires
the aid Of the microscope to enable us to
discern.

THE New York Citizen asks: ''Has or has
not Secretary SEWARD heard very extraor-
binary and painful reports in regard to one
of our South American Ministers? The
private vices or follies of men are their own
unfortunate property, for which they can
properly only be held accountable to their
Creator and their immediate families. But
for a Minister Of the United States to vail
with his official diplomatic cloak the scarlet
robes of publicly abandoned woman and
to officially introduce her through consular
agencies into private American and other
families, thus making notorious Aspasia
the recognized companion, until discovered,
of virtuous women-such conduct in pri-
vate citizen would justify the horsewhip,
and in minister offers good ground for an
instantaneous and ignominious recall" The
subiec. Of these remarks is Major General
FITZPATRICK, Minister to Chill.

THE CorroN CROP - The Dry Goods
Exchange, Of New York, has completed an
estimate Of the cotton crop Of the present
year, based upon the reports Of the sheriiis'
and other well-informed persons, in every
county in the cotton-growing States, and
places il at an average of between one-fourth
and one-fth that Of 1860 Thiswould make
the crop aggregate from nine to eleven hun
drsd thousand bale- Having general
Southern exchange lis, and having observed
with care the reports upon this subject from
the outset, we have estimated the crop at
from one million to a million and quarter
Of bales. Such are present indications
though they may be varied by the future
season. A very late frost and a reasonably
dry fall may run il little above the highest
figure, while an early fall may reduce it
below the former. All calculations may be
safely msds on this estimate.

THE Macon Telegraph publishes call for a
Convention Of cotton planters, from all parts
OF the country to meet in the city of Nashville
September next The object is to consider
the necessities and interests of the growers
of cotton as affected by the system of free la
Dor, and all other matters relating to this
branch of agriculture. Such convention
would be able, doubtless, to accomplish much
good, not only to the individual planters,
but to the country in general, and we ex-
:end cordial welcome to this assembly.

GONE INTO CoURT W-The Legislature
in its charity, has given three of the cities
of Tennessee Metropolitan police Mem
phis was the first to receive this blessing
practically. The Commissioners were APP
pointed, organized, adopted rules, appointed
a force, hired hall for drill purposes, estab-
ished rules and regulations" and went on
thus far swimingly. They next laid be-
fore the Mayor and Aldermen an estimate
Of the funds required to carry on this hand
some and beneicent establishment, which
economically placed the first call at a quarter
Of a radlion dollars The Mayor and Alder
men met the other day to look at the esti-
mate and determine whether they should
pay it. They determined not to pay cent

This looks like business. Violated laws

men, on both sides, must now come down to
their work. The one will, and the other
VIII not, and so the matter must needs 60
into court. A quarter Of million is
tough sum to a tax-ridden population Occur
pying an area Of some two or three square
miles But il is also hard on the Metropoli
tan Commissioners and their PoliceN see
the golden apples of profit turn to dead sea
fruit upon their lips" The chief difference
is that there are units TO be paid, and hun
dreds to pay it--exceedingly agreeable TO
the payee, but shockingly disagreeable 10
the payor
The Court is the only umpire that can
decide the mstter--so come in, and let an
admiring people have the result While ON
the subject, we beg leave TO notify an UNI
suspecting public in this city that the same
scheme Of taxation Is in store for them.
Ours. in due proportion with that Of Mem
phis. ought TO be about million. That is
a very small item; but we have 50 many
little bills TO foot, that gratuities of this sort
are rather unpleasant Our people will
take due notice, and place their purses in
order.
