DEPARTURE or GENERAL DIX FOR FRAEcE.--
General Dix, our recently appointed Minister
to France, left this port yesterday in the
steamer New York. en- route for Paris, where
his family await him. II may be safely assumed
that he goes out with such instructions from
the President as will result in an early, CON-
prehensive and satisfactory adjustment of our
unsettled relations with the French govern
ment, Notwithstanding the adverse rumors and
surmises now circulating between London and
Paris in reference to Napoleon's punctual full
filment Of his Mexican engagements. Acting
upon the simple acquisitions of the Monroe doc
trine, of European nonintervention In the
domestic affairs of the Independent States Of
this continent, the Mexican diplomacy assigned
to General Dix will need no prolongation Of
the tedious correspondence between Mr.. Seward
and NJ. Drouyn de Lhuys. As we have hereto
fore suggested all the special pleadings and
exceptions Of Napoleon touching his Mexican
usurpation, with which Mr.. Seward has had to
deal, have been brushed away by the direct
interpositon Of the Monroe doctrine rs the
ultimatum Of the people Of the United States,
from which this government cannot, in any
event, rccede.
Whatever, therefore, may be tho present In
clinations of Napoleon in connection with
England in relation to American affairs this
ultimatum of General Dix will admit of no
further evasions One way or the other there
must be q definite conclusion to the contro-
versy. Considering, too, the high character OF
General Dix as statesman Of many years
experience in various responsible trusts in all Of
which he has distinguished himself rs a man Of
rare discretion, steadiness aud sagacity; con-
sidering his valuable ministerial services as q
soldier during our late Southern rebellion, and
his thorough knowledge of American affairs,
the Mexican question and the Monroe doctrine,
a. may be gathered from his speeches through
a series Of years in the United States Senate /;
considering his knowledge OF European poll
tics, languages and society, derived from his
studies and travels, and considering his quiet
and unpretending character as Christian
statesman, gentleman and scholar, we may
say that very few, indeed, Of his predecessors
in his present position have possessed his do
sirable qualifications Such man on diplo-
matte mission, especially at such q time as
this, inspires that confidence at home and that
respect abroad which can hardly fail in the
most important results In behalf OF the in
teresss, the rights, the honor and dignity Of the
United States.

Mr.. COLLECTOR SMYTHE.-ln q recent Wash
ington despatch to this journal, in reference TO
the Affairs OF the Collectors Office Of this port,
i was said that Mr.. Smythe's nbordinates had
been taxed for electionccring purposes, and
that the Collector was in q fair way, from ware
housing OF other perquisitcs, TO realize some
forty thousand dollars year. These indirect
charges have been satisfactorily reiuted in q
communication submitted through our columns
in vindication OF the Collector but in order
that he may have the amples, justice at our
hands we are gratifed TO say that we fully en-.
dorse that communication We presume that
our Washington correspondent on the premises
was unwistingly vic.imized by some disap.
pointed job or Office hunter. From every well
informed and responsible quarter touching The
administration Of the affairs OF his Office by
Collector smythe he bears the highest charac-
ter Of capacity, fidelity, honesty and scupu-
lous regard for the interests OF the Treasury.
He is not politician, seeking bis own aggran-
dl,cment or that Of any clique, and hence
cliques and politicians, In urging their peculiar
claims, are apt to be disappointed. The ma
tional Treasury and the merchants Of this city
find In Mr.. Smytnc good and faithful officer
and withal an accomplished gentleman; and
thus approved he has NOTHING to fsar.

THE COMING Down IN PRIcns.-It is great
source of satisfaction TO the masses to see the
prices of all the necessaries Of life coming
down at such rapid rate. The spectators
have enjoyed long term of profitable opera
lions, and 1t is time now that the people, espe-
cially those of small means, should be enabled
to live without exhausting every dollar of
their earnings in procuring a bare support for
their families. The Western spectators in
provisions and cattle are now compelled to
throw their produce on the market for it has
accumulated vastly on their hands, and their
business must still go on. Hence the ample
supply which has reduced prices so suddenly,
and go opportunely for The poor, just on the
advent Of winter. But while tho wholesale
quotations show an immense decline it will not
do for the retail dealers to maintain dispro-
porsionate prices. They must come down in
the same ratio az the markets

THE ASSOCIATED Press ARKANoESENrs.-The
attempt to establish news agency in 0ppO-
sition to the Associated Press of this CITY
is, as we predicted, turning out COM
plete failure. At recent meeting OF
the proprietors Of the Philadelphia papers,
called together to consider certain prop
ositions of Mr.. Craig, it was resolved that the
Philadelphia association would remain in the
arrangements of the New York Associated
Press so long as they should deem 1t for their
interest TO do so. This IL very proper resolu-
ton, and describes exactly the bond that
should unite the members Of the association.
Unless in can be shade mutually advantageous
it ceases to be desirable as an institution. We
seek NO benefits from II that cannot be equally
extended to our associates 1t was for viola
ting these fundamental principles that Mr..
Craig was dismissed from his position The
result Of the Philadelphia meeting will proba-
bly, have convinced him that he cannot humbug
our provincial contemporaries as easily as he
calculated upon.
