ENGLAND's- -DIsINcEINATIoN, of late years,
to interfere in affairs on the continent of
Europe, is explained in new way by the
Paris Pays. That journal states, that
formerly England considered herself per-
fectly safe in her sea-girt isle, and, in con-
sequence, put herself prominently forward,
not being afraid of reprisas. But at pres
ent. when landing cansbe effected on her
shores with mathematical precision, by
means of iron-cased STEAMERS. she thinks
the most prudent course is to change her
policy, and prevent such catastrophe by
the maintenance of neutrality .5efif, /. :

oIN the German War last year, 164 officers
and 573 soldiers of the Prussian- army
fell on the field OF battle; 40 officers and
2S8l soldiers died subsequently of their
wounds, making 5.739 in all; and 562 off,
GERS and IA 730 soldiers were wounded, but
recovered. "A French medical journal at,
tributes this mortality chiefly to the want
of care on the part of the Government for
the lives of its soldiers, in engaging in war
without any adequate sanitary organiza-
tion1 for their relief. f.s-l 80.

The Tendency Of the Southern Con-

Mack" correspondent Of the Cincin-
natl Commercial, in recent letter to that
paper from Washington, has the following !:
The newspaper history Of every day
while the Southern Conventions are id ses-
sion proves that suffrage and amnesty to-
gether, the one to neutralize the evil in the
other, and each having much OF evil in it to
be neutralized, would be great improve
ment upon the very worst form of political
misrule which is indicated 10 Georgia, Ala
bama and Virginia, as the result Of the
present Congressional policy. But there
is no necessity for speculation as to what
will be the ultimate result of these conven-
TONS. We have readysmade example in
the case Of Tennessee.
IIfthere ore those who believe that peace
and enduring union can be secured BY mul-
tiplying such legalized despotism as that Of
Tennessee, they are mistaken. There can
be neither peace nor union while nearly
every white man in the South. who ia
qualified BY nature or education to partici-
pate in State or National legislatiou, il

complexion are the deliberations Of the

The prospect is, that, in New York,
the Democracy will drive radicalism to

They say that Gen. Logan, not hav-
ing been shrewd enough to demand his
six thousand dollars in advance for his
late Ohio campaign, isn't likely to get

concluded, from the result Of the cleo

that's all they are willing to pay him

ALEX A N DRIA, la:
WEDNESDAY DEC. 4, 1867.
~ All of our exchanges from the

II All of our exchanges from the
upper Parishes are complaining bitter
ly of the mails and many seem to think
the blame lies between this point and
Shreveport. The Mansfield Times is
emphatic on this point and asks us to
explain il. We believe from what we
see that the contractor from Alexandria
to Natchitoclles is very punctual in Ia
king all the matter when any is here;
and think no blame can attach to him.
We must again reiterate thatthe whole
and sole blame rests with the contract
or between this point and the Mouth OF
the River.
We have been informed that this
contractor has expressed himself in no
very fatteripg terms of our structures
on his conduct, considers we know
more about his business than he does
himself and treats the whole matter
with indifference. In answer to these
well established facts of ours concern
inc these constant and well-matured
failures, we would state that the Post
Master of New Orleans has been con-
WINGED of their truthfulness and no lon
ger sends the mails to the Mouth by
the three regular Vicksburg packets,
but takes the irregular chance of a Red
River boat in order that we may re-
ceive them enthusiastically. We beg
to remind the contractor that faultfnd-
ing is no part of the DEMOCRATS mis-
sion, and if he thinks himself justified
in his conduct and our structures wrong
let him defend himself in our columns
They are fully at his disposal without
charge. He is a public carrier, paid by
the government to perform certain du-
ties for the benefit of the public, and he
must perform them in some manner Oh
throw up his contract and let others
try it. 1t is no use to mince matters
these times; we will do injustice to nc
one knowingly, but are bent on en-
deavoring to make public officials per-
form their duties. We will fight it out
on this line till the millennium or have
good mail service.
Since writing the above we are glat
to announce that on Thursday, to thu
great surprise ofall, the stage reached
here with Tuesdays mail. This crea
ted unbounded excitement and tin
stock of the institution went up a
once to three bits on the dollar. Blu
Saturday swung around in due tim'
and the stage arrived but no mail dit
she bring. We are panied to state tina
the stock of the concern declined
heavily.
