LEA-.NUN, `VittNESDAY, MARCH 22, 1883 t .iterJames Gordon Bennett,..ESq., of the New York Herald, was of fered the French Mission by the President, more than two months ago, but has declined the appoint ment. John Bigelow, our present charge d'aftaires at Paris ; Chas since been appointed tolf:11 . Th 6 vacancy. Wherrnathen as Bennett refuse to accept positions of great impor tance from such an administration there must be something wrong. A few years ago Bennett would have sold himself to Old Nick for the very. position--he. now- declines. ofg,Tonkt G. McoLAY, the Presi dent's private Secretary, was on Saturday nominated and confirmed as consul to Paris, to fill the vacan cy caused by the promotion of John Bigelow. i ( sfir_PatkfniST'L.&cour was quite ill in the forepart of the week and compelled to deny himself to all visi torsAor several days. The nrduous labors consequent upon the adjourn ment of Congress, together with the exCitemebt of the inauguration, and thd pressure of public business gener ally, made it essential that he should enjoy a few days of rest and quiet.— We are happy to hear that at the -last accounts ho was in a fair wav. of being perfectly restored."—Abolition papers. Presidelkils - kiekttess is saicl to have been "itithienga."— Vice President Johttsvn was 'also "sick" and his complaint 'Was— "Well, we suppose "infivena" too. 'Both are "restored" to health, and remain so until the next time. "Influenza" is a " bad disease at 'Washington just now. It was par ticularly so on the occasion of the inauguration when Lincoln and •Johnson, and, in fact .the whole "government," took it badly. 0- The "loyal" National Union Leagn'e,' Of•Pilitaddlphia, is endeav oring to fayee a:bill through the lisglslature, to compel the polls to ''he closed in that city at 6 o'clock, P. M., instead of as present. This is to.prevent the .poor man, 'who ''as his daily labors to perform, to vote, or else' to compel him to leave his work and 'be "docked.'? The 'Union Leaguers generally are do nothings,-and 'consequently are en abled to vote at any hour of -the day. These , fellows, •if they con linuequ'potidrimittih gonget, keither(Heplive'the'poor man of all the liberties-and rights at present enjoyed by him, or else—lose their heads in the attempt—which may happen to them if they continue in the course they are now pursuing. I A young man in New York, a short time since, presented him self for enlistment in the army,. but was rejected because of •phys ical disability, Lately 'he :has been drafted and is held qo service. Thislie easily accounted for. Enlist ed men are bought and paid for by the Government, and of, course nothing but a sound, prime article of flesh, hone and muscle will pass. Conscripts, however, cost the Gov ernment nothing ; and, though they may be mere wrecks and shells, which may topple over im mediately by the wayside, their lose will be only their own—the Government can lose nothing. It is considered of little moment how many - such drop out of the ranks to join the spiritual host, .so long •as their exists Federal -power to call for more and to turn the wheel to bring them forward. Mr- A telegraph company in New York is sued for leaving the word "if" out of a message. D. Wharton Smith sent the following message 'to Dre-ntl •"lif the geld bill is vetoed Ltray immediate ly $100,000." The message 'was received without the "S';" ithegOla was bought, and now Smith Titose cutes to recover $2,000, with inter est. The case is on trial. Sherman's Advance. Fayetteville, N. Carolina, was oc cupied by the Federal advance on the evening of Saturday, March 11. Scouts had been sent some time previously to Wilmington, and a Federal steamer on that 'afternoon left Wilmington and sailed up the Cape Fear river to Fayetteville. It arrived .on ;Sunday morning, hav ing met but alight opposition. There were Confederate cavalry posted on The river 'banks just be low Fayetteville, hut the 'steamer easily pushed throrigh the volleys of musketry fired by them. On Sunday and. Monday several Fed eral.gunboats ;ascended the river. No torpedoes were found , and n. doubt before this transports and supplies have been sent to Fayette ville. The Confederates retreated from Fayetteville northeast to wards Goldsboro. The Confedet ate evacuation of Kinaton is con= Armed.
