A Washington correspondent of the
New York Herald sends that paper the
following news, which may be taken for
what it is worth:


1t is useless to disguise the fac. that
leading members of the diplomatic corps
in Washington are engaged in constant
and anxious discussion on the course it
may be necessary for them to adopt.
They have constantly received urgent in
structions from their respective govern
ments to inform them with the utmost
precision of the chances of the two sections
in their present quarrel.


1t is leaking out that the governments
in question declare that their commercial
interests are identified in a great measure
with the Sonth, and that if they are forced
into taking sides with either, they will be
compelled to look carefully after cotton
and free trade. England is disposed to
move cautiously in this important matter,
and is playing her usual game of urging
France to take the ches.nuts out of the
fire.


Inc country ma not be generally aware
of the fact that there is at this moment an
agent Of the French Emperor travelling in
the South by the name of Barroche. He
is instructed TO Say that hs is simply col
lecting information for the commercial
bureau for the minister of public works,
but it is an artifce. He is a polcical
more than a commercial agent, ard his
dispatches, regularly forwarded for Paris,
necessarily exercise great influence over
the mind Of the Emperor.


1t is beginning to transpire that Mr..
Russell, correspondent of the London
Times, is not merely writing letters to
that journal, but that his private commu-
nications for higher quarters, contain a
good deal of interesting matter which he
does not think it discreet to print.

The following is an extract from letter
in the last Wisconsin Democrat, German
Republican paper in this town. The letter
is from its editor, who is in Washington.
He says:


al learn ,ba, the editor Of the Pilot
and swindler from New York, are going
together in secession. Put such mean
traitors and scoundrels in the pillory. and
make it a general duty of every citizen
who loves the Union and the Constitution
to abominate and des pise such low traitors
How can it be allowed in Manitowoc, that
a CROWLEY of the Pilot can publicly pros
tect, defeno and celebrate a JEFFERsoN
DAVIS, the principal conspirator and the
plague-sore of this Republic for years.
That CROWLEY is such rotten Hunker
politician the difference between right and


wrong is mixed in him, and the sense Of


patriotism is drowned in mean whiskey."


Is not the above beautiful specimen of
" free speech as understood by CHARLES
RGsER and his followers. This man has,
for years, preached and advocated the
identical doctrines in Wisconsin upon
which JEFF. DAVIS is now acting in the
South, viz: notification of law and viola
tion of the Constitution. Long before
bis settlement here. if law had been en-
forced, "piilory" or some other mode
of punishment would be his reward
He belongs to class who respect neither
the laws of God nor the feelings Of man
whose patriotism is confined to infdelity
whose love of country amounts to per-
secution of those who will not come un-
der his fanatical and narrow minded spirit
of intolerance, and who, if the occasion
should suit, would be just as likely to en-
ter into religious raid-sparing neither
age nor sex-as he is now ready to put in
to the pillory all men who will not follow
his notions of patriotism. This RGsER
possesses not spark Of honesty or integ-
rity. He has betrayed the men who warm
ed him into life-selling his party and
friends for thirty pieces of silver" is a
common trait in his character, and he has
become so odious to his own country men
here that large-we might say the whole
and respectable portion of them have
refused to countenance his vile sheet, and
have established another organ rather than
be further disgraced by the productions of
his dirty pen. He i. now in Washington,
occupied in begging sold clothes" and
cold victuals" from President LINCOLN.
Such scavengers deserve no pity, and the
President in "booting" HIM out of his
presence would be justified by RGsER's
countrymen here, if they were no. in fear
that such an act would cause the return
of his obnoxious person again to Mani,o

During the present s,agnation in busi-
ness, and the great scarcity Of money, the
merchant, the 10 manufacturer, the mechanic,
and all trades and professions are obliged
10 retrench their usual expenses, to save
themselves from bankruptcy. For these
reasons, and to avoid running into debt, we
will issue only half sheet weekly until
those in arrears shall replenish our lreasu
ry, or the times improve. One cause for
this course is, that our journeyman has
volunteered for the war, leaving US with
out the necessary help in the office.


We hope this arrangement will be only
temporary; and we assure our readers
they will find the usual amount of news

The New York Irish American says
{" every mail that reaches these shores
brings intelligence Of a wilder flight of the
people of Ireland from their native soil,
and a stronger ebb in the tide that is fast
draining toe land of its blood and marrow.
From every seaport, the peasan,ry and
small farmers pour in an incsssan: stream
that can be likened to nothing but the flow
of the vital current from the severed arter-
les of the hum an frame. And, in ninety>
nine cases out of hundred, these exiles
turn their faces towards the United States,
just at this moment when their chances of
making a livelihood here are utterly de-
stroyed by the civil strife upon the irnme-
diate verge of which our whole commun-
ity find themselves placed by the reckless
ambition ofunprincipled political shemers.
This is the most melancholy feature of the
affair, and is the one to which We desire
to draw the attention Of the clergy and the
press of Ireland without distinction
Surely these bodies have enough of indu.
ence with the people to prevent them
from insanely rushing upon the certain
misery and want which await the laboring
population-sspeclaly those burdened
with famiies-should they unwisely cast
themselves and their fortunes upon this
land, at time when the market for their
industry is efectualy closed by a civil war,
the end of which, just now, no man can
foresee. This consideration cannot be too
forcibly impressed on those who have no,
yet severed their home ties. It's timely
application may save great deal of suffer
ing, endured by many when experience
has come too late and if in its avoidance
even corresponding am ount of privation
mnst be borne at home, i. will be light
ened by the presence of kindred and
friends, the want of whose kindly offices
is one of the hardest trials of the sxile's
lot."

JUDGE SMALLEY's CHARGE to the Grand
Jury, laying down the law OF treason against
the United States Government, and the duty
OF bringing those guilty of it, or Of aiding
or concealing it. to trial is likely
to set good many to thinking
pretty earnestly. whether making
guns and ammunition for rebels. and selling
and transporting munitions of war to those
engaged in insurrection, is saltogether "a safe
business" 1t is well known that dealers and
manufacturers in New York, and elsewhere
at the North, have driven heavy business
Of that sort for while back The United
States Circuit Court Grand Jury Of NewYork
are said to be already pushing their inquiries
into this business in that vicinity, in earnest.
That the rebels should be allowed not only to
seize for their own use all the L. S. Forts,
guns and ammunition which are in the in
surrectionary States, but also to purchase al
EJtum, of all the northern manufacturers
and dealers, and employ the uumolested ser
vices of all Railroad and Express Companies,
and all the Shipping interest to transport for
them, is little too much. Adyerting TO this
business of furnishing war material for the
South, the Troy Arena says;


! Cannon are now being manufactured in West
| Troy TO promote rebellion and treason at the
South. We learn from good authority that large
order for bomb-Shells, for one Of the rebeious
| southern States, are now being manufactured in
! that locality. 1t is the opinion of eminent law
yers in this city, that these acts are reasonable


and we learn that the proper authorities will bs
called upon TO exert their powers to prevent the
| giving of " aid and comfort" to an armed enemy
now in open war with the Government Of the Uni
ted States. 1t is intimatei that parties at Hudson
are also eug1ged in the manufacture Of cannon and
shells Tor the South. In this city contract for
harness for artillery service has also been on the
tapis :0r several days. We trust those who arc
| engaged in this business will be careful in their
anxiety to make money, not to run the risk Of
committing n crime which i; BY law punishab C

BURNING FLUID AccIDENT.-About SIX

The COOP SHEPHERD. 49, Beneath the
burning skies and starry nights Of Palestine
there grows up between the shepherd and his
flock 4 union Of attachment and tenderness
At any moment the sheep are liable to be
swept away by some mountain torrent, or car
ried off By hill robbers, or torn by wolves
At any moment their shepherd may have to
save them BY personal hazard The shepherd
king tells us how, in defence Of his fathers
flock. he slew lion and bear, and Jacob
reminds Laban how he watched I4aban' sheep
in the day when the drought consumed them.
Every hour Of the shepherds life is risk.
Sometimes. for the sake Of an armful Of grass
in the parched summer day, he must climb
preciplces almost perpendicular, and stand on
a narrow ledge Of rock where the wild goat !
will scarcely venture. Pitiess showers, dri-
wing SHOWS, long hours Of thirst, all these he
must endure to keep the flock


How much IN all this connection there is Of
heart, of real personal attachment, is almost
inconceiyable to Is. It's strange how deep
the sympathy may become between the high
er and the lower being Alone almost in tho
desert, the Arab and his horse are one family.


Alone i'll those vast SelitudcS with no human

the vast interval between the man and the

felt. One is the love Of the protector, the
other the love Of the grateful life, and 50,
between lives 50 distant, there Is woven by
night and day, by summer suns and winter

Syrian shepherd must feel towards the help
less things which arc the daily companions Of

1t will be seen by proceedings elsewhere that
steps have been taken to raise means to aid Capt.
Gilbert Titus, and the Company he has been au'
thorized to raise, in getting to headquarters.


Trinity county has already furnished two COM
panies, but we believe there are sufficient Union
men yet in the county to Gil up this company,
and who will gladly embrace the opportunity.


The campaign in Nicaragua, under Gen. Wal
ker, and skill as an officer, displayed in many a
hard fought battle, gained him the friendship and
confidence of the soldiers who served under him.
Capt Titus is we'll known to many military men
now in service on the Pacific, and from the high
recommendations passed upon him by Gen. Wal
ker, for his bravery and superior Judgment as a
commanding officer, we apprehend that he will
have but little trouble in procuring picked
company of men. We hear of many who are de,
termned to join Capt. Titus. The Captain will
visit New River and Orleans Bar in a few days,
to visit his old friends and give those who desire
to do so, an opportunity to enlist.
