One of the nioat noteworthy,features of the ipjisdn't' 1 ,la" 1 thoVrgpwiy 'ißcfoasineim portance ;ofc'the vast region -of-country which lies between the Pacific Ocean and' the. States immediately west of the Mississippi river. Ten •years ago, this immense territory* with the'ex-, ception'pf a sinall population in California, a .few scattering settlements in Oregon, and a rc- 1 centMormonestablishment in Great Salt Lake! City,; was peopled only by the aborigines’, arid remained.in its primitive condition.- It was a rare occurrence to obtain from it any tidings wMfeVwi.'andl'it was tnrons . published' an account of his perilous journey through some new portions of it, .or when discoveries .of the California miners attracted attention, that the American people , were reminded, of,,the vast Western possessions belonging to the Confederacy. * Since'that.pcriod,'however, ibis region has imrqeesuptbly. risea in national importance, ahd it'now coinfeapda, in some shape or other, the cojMtant Bollcitude of ihe whole country. .Galljfonifai'prpgbn, a# .Minnesota, have been admitted into. the Union, and their political action will not pnflreqjiebtly decide the policy ol the Federal Government.

Another Postponement of the french Invasion, j On the tenth of May. NAPOtKOs-left Paris io jpin'the in Italy. { On the lltli July, lib signed tlie Treaty of/Villa Franca, by .cbncladod with Austria. Thu? ; the-.stirring events- of the war in Italy Were compressed Within two short months, and the nations of Europe, having been practically taught that in this era many great deeds can be performed in a very limited time, are still in a state" of tremor, notwithstanding the con clusion of peace. When a man beholds a com-* standing by his side, killed by a stroke of lightning, it is natural 'thathis own heart should bo filled'with appre hensioiiß, and when Europo beholds the speck ofwav collect in a cloudless sky, break with terrific force, and pass away, in wperidd ihore limited than' that usually allotted to prelimi nary diplomatic conferences, wo cannot mitch .wonder that she shouid " fear the- repetition of suchascene. i , . s' , It appeal's to bo a settled part of the policy of Napoleon to form firm iVicndsliips with his antagonists after’his, battles' aro concluded. Like Col. Dumas, after hia duel with Claude Melnotfo, ho says of Russia and of Austria: c< It is astonishing. how well I like these peo ple since I have fought with them.” And now, tho fears, of future difficulties are evidently between Austria and Prußsia on the one. hand, and between France and England oh tho other; but wo can scarcely believe there is good cause to apprehend actual hostilities * at any - early tperiod, in either case.. • * . • • : The fears of] a Napoleonic invasion which aro periodically expressed, and evidently sin cerely entertained in England, havb a great tendency to.degrade tho national character of that great, country,hi <tho eyes of. the world. •Her inherent’ strength should placo her above such;a.weakness.' But if wo are to judge from the tone .of ; her journals, and their re peated alarms,’the dreaded filibusters never inspired more, tjeiror .in, Nicaragua than the ru mors of the hostile designs of Napoleon create in England. , The true interests of both coun tries bail,: doubtless, be best served by a per manent pcacoy for both would have much to lose and nplhing valuable to gain in a war. Ancient ‘ animosities, and modern ill-feeling, engendered by. the repeated attacks upon Na poleon/ ; in the British press, uto the only causes that can precipitate a conflict between them.- ‘ As it is, while the English jour nals, jjjeing!,, free, indulge to ah. unlimited extents in-< denunciations of Napqlbon, and while 1 the English Government cannot be held responsible for.these attacks, which it cannot prevent, any reply in the French journals, which are subjected to a censorship, is paraded before the English "public as a direct or indirect emanation fVom the Emperor himself.; Thus, in thh newspaper war between tho two 'coun tries, the English have an immeasurable ad vantage.. They fire "their paper hnllets with utter , recklessness, and-with no sense of re sponsibility to check their hostile ardor, while the French newspaper batteries are, silenced -by. the .restrictions to which they arc subjected. ;it is hot impossible that Napoleon may yet be goaded into a war with' England ; by tlie. very accusations which are, constantly hurled aga inst .him of contemplating one. For the present, however, we rejoice that the offfyial announce ment in the JSToniteur, of his intention to dis arm, has, quieted the apprehensions of Eng land, and that, for .the hundredth time, those who habitually cry‘“wolf,” “ wolf,” have been compelled to acknowledge that he is not yet at their doors. , ’ • ' - New Books, “A First Lesson in Natural History,” by Ac tea, discoursoth delightfully and, instructively upon Soa*'Anomones and Corals, Coral Roofs, By droids and Jolly-fishes, Star-fishes and Sea-urchins. It has been prepared under the direction of Pro fessor Agassiz, and will t»e of wonderful assistance to children who would learn, and parents who would tc&ob, all about that' branoh of Natural His tory. which is hero especially made clear. Tho Illustrations are very neat. Indeed,' the whole get ting up of this small volume is extremely neat and attractive. Published by Little, Brown, & Co., of Boston. ' Dr. R. C. Frenoh, Dean of Westminster, has the reputation of standing among the moat learned, rational, and praotioal of British philologists. J.B Redfield, of New Fork, who has published the pre ceding works of Dean French, has just issued “ A Select Glossary of English Words used formerly In Senses different from their Present,” by the same author. Ho might hare advantageously added a chapter showing the different meaning of words in daily use. even now, in England and tho United States. There' is tho word Clever , for ex ample, . which is . used, in England, to . de note .. inteUeotual ability—sometimes to indi cate mechanical skill. Thus, it is said' ”ho is a clever writer” or “a clever artist’’—mean ing that he excels in authorship or art. Or it may be said “ that carpenter- is a clever workman,”, to show tho favorabio opinion of his skill. In this country, on the contrary, its meaning inthese senses has been abandoned. It is used here to denote a good-natured fellow—suoh as “He is a clever waiter,”, whioh he may be, in the .American sense, without possessing brains. • Were we to go through Mr. Bartlett’s “Dictionary of Americanisms,” of which a new and greatly enlarged edition has lately been published, or through Dr; Elwyn’s “ Glossary of Supposed Americanisms,” we dare say that we could pick out fifty words in ordinary use here,which Have a moaning very different from that which they have i conveyed in England, for centuries. Dean Frenoh shows much research, ingonuity, and learning in his now book. Some of our politicians, Wh? ore ambitious of popularity, may be aetonished at Dr, Frenoh*s showing that Popularity formerly was tho wooing, - notes npw tho-haying won, that favor.-. The word whioh. is passive now was active then. Dr. French adduces examples, from early' English authors, to prove this, and also that a man’abeing “popular” showed not that- ho had. acquired, but was laying hlmßelf out to acquire, the favor of the people. Dr. 1 French, wo notice,' though ho has tho word “ wretched ” on bis list, omits saying that “wretch” was onooaterm of endearment. Popys uses it very ofton in'thl9 Sense when writing about his, wife.

Its provisions ran thus:.; “That nil women, of wfcatover ago, rank, profession, or degree, whether virgins, maids, or widows, that shall; from and after snch act, Impoao upon, sedude; and betray into matrimony any of bis Majesty’s male subjects; by the sconts, paints, cosmeiiowttshcs, artificial tooth, false hair, Spanish wool, iron stays, hoops, high-heolod shoos, Ac., ehair incur the penalty of the law now in forco. against witchcraft and like misdemeanors, and that the marriage, upon eonyiotjon, sn&U stand null and void.” Inasmuch as unhappy husbands aro now precluded from tho coipfprt of their wives loaning, wife-like, upon their arip s > i n former days, it might bowell to lock up this act of Par liament,' and see whethor it ever passed into tho statute book.

Those show great constructive pow er, and the inoidonte are, worked up, and tho char acters developed with considerable dramatic effect. They‘do not' generally convey the most favorable view of Parisian sooiety/and herein consists much of thelrvaluo.

Better from ** Occasional.” f Correspondence of The Press.) In my letter of tho sth inst. I embodied a brief article whioh appeared in the Richmond of the 29th July, reflecting on the conduct of, the General Post Office in relation to the decrease '.of tbe, mail stages from Bonsacks* to White Springs, in yirgfn’a. Tho allegations in that prtl-i. ole woro of a sorioas character. On Friday lost the' Constitution contained an entire column of edUo-. rial (less five lines) devotod to the ef tho .General Post Office. It is donbtlcss ibo official , defence, carefully prepared, and'presents tho case' In the most favorable manner that ’the Genorai Post Offico possesses the ingonulty to do, but still H is a most shabby and incomplete defence, and it exhibits in a striking light the total absence of ad ministrative ability in that office. Tho pretenoo sot up for all tho delinquencies of tho Gonornl Post Office, that theyaro attributable to tho failuro of Congress, at tho last session, to pass the General Post Office appropriation bill, augments the. fla granoy'of the neglect and abuso charged., This ridiculous defenoe {s Interposed to shfelciiho Ge neral Post Offico from the imputation-of neglect to give prompt and oivil replies to persona writing to the General Post Office on business! r The old ste reotyped exouse for laziness and Inattontiop, 11 an unusual -press’d f business" U put forth; and the ridioulous assertion is ventured that this “ umtsital press ” was caused by tho failure of Congress to pass ’ the appropriation bill! Everything is laid to tho-failure of. Congress, to pass the appropria* tion hill! Best I should ho accused of misrepre sentation, I quote a sfnglo sentence from the arti cio Inthe Constitution: (l It Is welL known that tho Post Office Depart ment has had an unusual press of business thrown upon it by reason of tho reductions rendered nooos sary by the failure of Congress to provide means to carry oji the Usual operations of the postal service; ami an intelligent public will make duo allowanoo if every communication has not' been answered as promptly and as much large ns might be practicable under other circumstances.” A man of common sense would suppose that the u reduction ” of tho ma|l service nllogod to be impe ratively required by reason of such failure would re duce, in a corresponding degree, the "onerous labors’’of tho clorioal stipendiaries at Washing ton. In addition to this oxcuso, tbo editorial makes sundry statements, whichl&m assured, by Virginia gentlemen from the viainity of the route, aro va riant from or pervorslons of tho truth, and that the same will be so mode to appear at the noxt swwion of Congress. Your friend, tho Hon. ** #, requests thin notice of wh&t he denounces as u a flagrant and disgraceful transaction,’‘ or I Bbould not select this from the thousand worse oases that havo occurred throughout tho country since Feb ruary lost. From all that is disclosed here, I hove no,’doubt that at the next session of Congress partiality and favoritism of a flagitious ohtfracter will be brought to light with reference to the discontinuance and decroaso of sundry piatl?, and tho continuance and establishment of others by no iqeans so serviceable, and more, extensive and expensive than those abo lished, ThePqslmnatorGcner&l will be strenuously defended in both houses of Congress by oortain mem- - bers who have bsen personally bonefited by bis action, but it is sold that tho. exertionpf some of thoso influences in bis behalf will, .under tbo pecu liar circumstances surrounding the parties, do him more harm than good. I will, in a future letter, at the proper time, explain all thoso circumstances. . You will recollect that tho Administration organ ’ here, in puffing what was called tho astonishing administrative and financial ability of tho pet Post- ; master Geppral of tho Rrosldont, pnd so also the semi-official telegraphic despatohos sept throughout tho country, of the saipo character, stated that the Genorai Post Office, in ’its efforts to relieve mail contractors from the difficulties consequent upon the failure qf Congress, fo pass the appropriation bill, wonld givecontrpetors certificates of indebted ness, by whioh thoy could roodily, raise monoy from banks and capitalists .till Congress did make tho noedful appropriations, I atu.'lnformed that de partmental certificates from the General Post Offico, and from othor departments, for enormous amounts, havo boon given, and that it has boon sought to negotiate thorn 3n your eity and in New York aud elsewhere, but that a largo discount was demanded/ I loam it .was 20 per oept., besides in terest. Tho brokors are not easily caught nap ping; _ Aoortaip section of a certain oot of Congress, pesaod' in 185?, stayes them m ih? face.'

Qffixjo tT tho . legislative brtfnofi of theFedoral Govornffiout hoJ nored , and tho ontiro concern resolved into a dic tatorship, unrestrained by law, and without law; and from tho oxamplo sot, it is to be presumod if Congress, from want of confidence in an Administra tion, should refuse to make the appropriations it de manded os to any or all of tho departments, those in oxeoutivb office would, disregarding'legislative ac tion, constitute thomsolvcs irito s an Octonarian oli garchy, and dispense with Congress altogether! I learn, too, the Sub-Treasury law and the law pro hibiting advances have been nullified by dopart monts. And oven the snored Constitution of the United Stateß, which all aro sworn, to maintain in- . violate, has been trampled underfoot. Thesovonth clause of tho ninth section of tho first article de clares that “JVo money shall he drawn from the Treasury lut in consequence of appropriations made by law Ac. 1 It is notorious that enormous sums have been disbursed or advanced, or allowed to remain unoalled for in the bands of, certain offi cers, contrary to law, upon oertain understandings, and some disbursed by .receiving officers by de partmental safiftlton, and moneys (lb'effect) drtfwn from the Treasury without appropriations by law. The' quibble, tbaVsuoh monty bad not been paid into tbe Treasury, but withheld to evade tbe constitutional provision quoted, adds to tho bcin ousness of the offence. There are rumors of in- tended impeachments, for these ; and 'other mal feasances. Tho irresistible popularity of Stephen A. Dou glas, and the evidences that ho is every dSy break ing down the opposition to him in tbe South, and concentrating the Democratic:masses of Jhe North around his banner, are compelling the General its organ? .and adherents everywhere—to resort to "all kinds of expedients and impostures for the purpose of arresting the .tide in his favor.i Orders have 'been issued (I re peat, upon distinot information) to tho office-hold ers of' tho different States' to u’so every name ip every locality that can' bo used for the purpesfe of Injuring Judge Douglas; While tho Democratic! people see in Stephen A. Dongles tbpjmty sign by which they can conquer t in 1860, the Adminis -tration are resolved, with »tho powor Still remain ing in their hands, tocover the. Democracy with de feat, rather than that.viotory should be secured by Stephen A,-Douglas. ■ Henoo. tho largest liberty is extended' to the office-holders to divide and. destroy tho Democratic ■ party. ’ They are au thorized to seize upon any candidate but Dou glas. If they find l the name of Seymour, useful for New 1 York;' then’ they nro . direct ed to use it—if Guthrie, tbon Guthrie—if Breck inridge, then Breckinridge and in Indiana tbo name of GonerAl Joe Lane is'to be held up;as a rallying point. A now series of candidates will also be improvised, andj in order,|o make confusion worse confounded, the'troops of (llo"Administration in Illinois are commanded to double-set the Illi nois delegation 'to tho.■* Charleston ' Convention, going, as Douglas. In this latter aspect it is a little curious to read tho homilies of Uto Constitution in regard’ to Governor Wise. ’ The sin of Governor Wise is, that he should havo suggested, in a oertain .con tingency, the double-setting of delegates from Njjfw, York, and this is held up by tho organ of Mr. Bu chauan as a crime to bo punished by instant and ignominious execution. But where does this idoa of dpublo-sotting.at Charleston come, Who invented it for' the Convention of ? Unques tionably James Buchanan and his satellites. Long before' Governor Wiso 'suggestedf’ariy7iu6htre medy against alleged injustice in Now York, the’ Frosident and his oroaturcs had issuod orders to 1 lko Cook k Co., is Illinois, to double-set that State, and in a formal addross thoy read out of tho Democratic party the masses in favor of Stephen A. Douglas, in Illinois, and excommunica ted them in ladvanco from all control or recogni tion in tho Charleston Convention. Gev. Wiso spoke ha an individual, but James Buchanan and his backers acted with all the enormous power of. the Federal Administration in their hands, and fnaugu rated a policy which, if objectionable in the. case of Gov.
