A Suspension of Judgment Requested as
to the Last Democratic President.
George TickaOr Curtis in Nelc York So,
The Philadelpkie B1ess, in It's issue of
last Sunday, contains q long account of
an interview held by its correspondent al
Memphis with the Hon. Jacob lIhompson..
who wac aecretary Of the Interior in Mr..
Buchanan's administration until the com.
ing on Of the secession troubles, when he
resigned, Thia interview relates, among
other matters, TO President Bnoht,anan's
.ne7sese a' '".s n~ ISponIng of Congress in De-
cember, 1860, to the resignation of GeGeFal
Cass as Secretary Of STATE, and TO sup
posed agreement between the President
and the South Carolina Commissioners
relative to the military status quo in
Charleston harbor during the remaining
portion of Mr., Hqchanan's Official term.
The .g4ife Of President Buchanan" on
which / have been engaged for two years
and upwards, will probably he published
in the coming month of May by the Messrs.
Harper. On documentary evidence
Of the most unquestiOnable character,
and especially on written memoranda
made by the President himself at the
times in question, my work will put
very different aspect upon all these mat
ters from any that they have hitherto
borne. 1t will be made absolutely certain
that the President, for example, never
made the reputed agreement with the
South Carolina Commissioners or any
one else respecting the status quo in
Charleston harbor; and that as to the
resignation of General Cass, the Presi-
dent recorded in his own Ifand all
the circumstances attending it, and
the history of the famous passage in his
message, where he spoke of coerc-
ing a State to remain in the Union. So,
too, the President himself made an ample
record of all the facts attending the
resignation of Secretary Floyd. Under
these circumstances, is it asking too
much for me 10 request the public to wait
for the precise revelations which will be
made when Mr.. Buchanan comes TO be
heard through his own recorded testi-
mony? am happy to be able to say that
the first volume of my work is now
stereotyped. and that the plates Tor the
second volume win be made'as rapidly as
such work can be properly done.

ST. LOUIS, March "a Globe Democrat
correspondent, who reached Helena YES

situation along the river bank:
There are not more than two
or three spots of ground yisi-
BILE between Memphis and this point.
Scores OF the best farms in Arkansas and
Mississippi are completely ruined, and
most OF them are abandoned, the owners
and labOrers having fled to high ground.
In many places cattle are standing in the
water, which OVerfioWs the platforms, and
almost every house is filled with colored
people.
At Harbut's landing there were eighteen
negroes in two boats mOOred to tree on
