no doubt that the Ministers will be sus-
tanned in the course they took. Such
an out pouring of sympathy, backed up
as it has been by subscriptions, was new

The Massacre of the French Missionaries
In COrea.

The following interesting particulars
are extracted from a Toulon letter:

ing here on the subject of events in the
China and Japan seas The French
Government, entirely disappearing of
any attempt of an expedition against
the kingdom of Corea, directed Rear
Admiral Roze to undertake nothing un-
Til further orders, as the massacre of
the French Missionaries required an
exemplary chastisement which would
be better deferred to more opportune
moment Vengeance, though tardy,
would only be more terrible on that
account. There was an objection TO
engage in a hazardous operation be-
fore obtaining full knowledge of the
approaches and resisting power
of that mysterious country The pru-
dent provisions of the Government are
in some sort confirmed by the last dis
patches. Admiral Roze having pene-
trated into the Sea of Corea, abound
ing in dangerous shoals, was for mo-
ment compromised and threatened
with great disaster; obliged to be con-
tinually casting the lead in the waters
where the tides are subject to varia-
tions of some 30 to 40 feet every "a
hours, be found himself at last stranded
on coral reefs with all his little hoti la,
consisting of the steam corvette Prim-
auguet and several small gunboats. A

will be settled by competition and the
immutable laws of supply and demand,
and all attempts to create bad feeling
between the producing and mercantile
interests and the railroad interests will
fail in the end. In this growing west
ern country railroads viii be built
faster than demanded by the business,
and faster than can be supported at the
prices of traffic charged by eastern or
European railways. Our people expect
this, and would not complain if it We're
not for being misled and muddled by
such orators as Gen. Birney.

"A beautiful and accomplished
young lady of one of the wealthiest
families of Louisville has recently pinned
away to a mere shadow, without any
Perceptible cause. Her friends were
sorely perplexed to learn the cause, but
all to no avail. Last week the mystery
was solved. The girl was discovered
to be a sleep walker, getting up in her
night clothes every night and visiting
an arbor attached to her residence,
where she spent, IN dreamy silence,
several hours, and would then return to
the parental roof. OF course, she
would be unconscious next day of her
walk and rigid airing of the night pre-
vions.
