WA sHINGToN, LIST.
There is reason to believe that the ad-
ministration finds the Cuban question
somewhat embarrassing, although not
unwilling to express the sympathy
which is universally felt with the rev.
olutionary course. Difficulties with
England, growing, in part, out of her
hasty recognition of the belligercnce of
ou' own rebels, and the very recent di.
plomatic correspondence on that point,
add to the necessity for proceeding with
caution. There is consequently strong
disposition to postpone action for the
present.
New YORK, LIST.
The weather here to-day is clear and
cold. with high north west wind.
The freshet seems to be increasing.
The Mohawk is rising, and is pouring
its swollen tides into the Hudson. The
docks along the river are submerged, and
water snow and ice cover the track of
the Hudson River r. r. for many
miles. Large gangs of men are at work
at different points along the line clear
ing it.
The Tribune announces officially that
the President has rendered the nomina-
ton of the mission to Mexico to Major
General ID L Slckles, of New York. 1t
is not known whether he he will accept
ornOt
A number of prominent gentlemen in
and out of Congress, believing that the
mission to Hayti can be best filled by
colored man, are urging as a candidate

NASHVILLE, LIST.
Advices from Greenville state thatEx-
President Johnson is recovering from
from his recent sickness, and that he
will speak in Knoxville on Saturday
next. On the following Tuesday and
Wednesday following, he will be in
Nashville, and will address what prom
Uses to be the largest crowd ever assem-
bled in the city of rocks. 1t is definite
ly ascertained that Mr.. johnson is
stoutly oppose. to the democratic Cub
ernatorial canvass with the franchise
law left as it is by the Supreme Court,
and the Republican ranks presenting
an undivided front. Defeat, he thinks,
under the circumstances, would badly
damage the Conservative cause, and
possibly put off REIMBURSEMENT for two
or three years.
The object of his 70 forthcoming address
is regarded more as a review or vindi-
cation of his Presidential career than as
campaign speech.
If there is any possible chance of Il
Conservative success, however, in a
direct caucus, Mr.. Johnson is bound to
give his stump efforts direction that
will have direct effect.
Neatly all the militia scattered
throughout the Safe have been recalled
to Nashville. This is caused by the
general quiet throughout the State, and
from the earnest appeals to that effect
made by leading men of all political
shades.
