The French Emperor has now at
his disposal, in time of peace, q fight
ing army of about 600,0OO trained
soldiers, supported by reserve of
600, 900 men who have gone through
at least the first rndimonts of drill;
and, with such subservient logisla-
tive chamber as the present, the EN-
peror will have little difficulty in
calling up contingent of 100000 or
$50, instead of the usual number of
100, 1000, should war break out.
PoLrTIcA1.-The effort to change
the time for the meeting of the Ma

earlier dato than previously fixed,
has been abandoned. The 22d of
February, therefore, stands as the

the National Democratic Nominating
Convention.

THE CorToN SuPPLY.-English
inannfacturers profess TO be relieved
from their chief burden of solicitude
in, regard to the cotton supply, and
tofeel more confidence4that hence
forth there will i5be no disastrous
fluctuations in the market compare
BILE "a thoSs oi the last Jew years.
Not only do the United States, in
their opinion, give better promise,
on account of the prospective re-
moval of the cotton tax, but intelli-
gence from other quarters Strengthens
anticipations of larger production.
Word comes from India that crop
will be realized this season fully
equal to that of last year, if not
superior. A single province in Bra
zil will send this year more than
million arrobas of thirty-two pounds
each, while other districts are proving
their capability of furnishing larger
quantities of cotton than they have
hitherto done. In Egypt and Tur-
key, the cotton crop, report says, is
not likely to be diminished, and
favorable accounts come from the
West Indies, Africa and Australia;
but India is the chief reliance as
competitor of the cotton fields of
America. Exertions to this end are
in no measure relaxed. Those inte-
rested in the cotton trade on this side
regard the future supply as much less
certain than the English reckoning
would imply.

CAUGHT A TARrAR--The hangers
on who constitute the audiences of
our courts of justice, are frequently
amused by the impudent slang-wit of
prisoners brought up for sentence.
and these blackguards are, therefore,
prone to indulge in such expressions.
One of them, however, got the worst
of the fun the other day in Hartford.
The Judge sentenced him first to
thirty days' imprisonment for con-
tempt of court; whereupon the pri-
soner remarkipg that the Judge was
"bully boy" got sixty days; and
further observing, sarcastically, that
he'd rather have ninety, obtained that
increase instantly. This made him
angry, and he attempted to attack
the Judge. who thereupon sent him
to Jail for six months. That fellow
will not be likely to try his humor
upon 1.-the court" in future, should
he again incur the sentence of the
law.

THE WEATHER IN EASTERN YER
MoNT.-A correspondent writes us as fol-
lows concerning the weather on the east
side of the mountain
Editors RpAand UeYald Seeing an
item in the Weekly HERALD, taken from
the Burlington Free Press concerning the
weather and snow on the east side of the
Green Mountains, in which the writer
states that at st. Johnsbury, Feb. sth,
mercury sank to 81 degrees below zero,
and at Newport the same morning it was
40 degrees beloy zero, and that the snow
on this side of the Green Mountains is
generally over four feet deep ON the level.
Now this may ali be so up in that part of
Vermont, but it is some distance from the
truth concerning this place. In this
snowy town of Cavendish the snow to-
day is just two feet and five inches on the
level in the woods. On Feb. 9Th. the mer-
curry only sank to about eight degrees be-
low zero up here on Cavendish hills, six
miles from Proctorsville.
From Feb 2lst to the 23d. there oc-
Cured one of the greatest changes from
hot to cold that ever remember of. Feb.
2lst, at 10 o'clock a. m, mercury stood at
sixty degrees above zero, and on the 22d

low zero, and on the morning of the Odd

HORACE GREELEY-A good story is
told at the expense of II. e.. based on an
incident which occurred in the late Re-
publican Convention of New York
While awaiting the election of delegates
to Chicago, Congressman Van Wyck was
speaking, and is reported to have said:
"Let prominent men of the north sign
the bail bond, and have u love-feast with
the rebel chief, and the heart of treason
will soften and, forsooth, forgive us the
humiliation of their defeat.
The effect upon the convention by this
dig at Davis bailer was marked. A roar
of uncomfortable laughter greeted Van
Wyck's sharp hit. A second and even a
third time, the waive of merriment rolled
over the crowded assemblage. Meanwhile
Mr.. Greeley was comfortably ensconed in
seat against the wall under the gallery,
