The visit of the French Minister at
Washington, to the -rebid Capita; last
week, has given rise to quite a variety of
*peculation. His going in a Fria& vessel
is emisideved too ostentatious, not to in
dicate pas extraordinary future developer
meat. -A. keen correspondent of the
Awkiep PoiOtates the visit was merely
to attend to Eh* interests which. some of
his countrymen haie in large quantities of
tobacco, now stored at Richmond. An
other mew' ions`person denies this tohacco
story, and insists that the mission was to
Jeff Doris himself, to dissuade him from
%anent the cotton crop as threatened by
the retells, should the Union forces succeed
in penetrating .the rebel Cotton States.
This Ammon conjecture is more probable
than elei tobacc.o speculation. A failure
of our cotton erop,will entail gnat essisay
spon =Miens in France as well as in Reg;
land. Some of greater penetration think
this visit to have been of a political char
acter; not indicative of France soon re
cognising the Confederacy, but for the
purpose of pursuading the rebel President
to abandon the contest, lay down his arms
and ask for pardon from the parent gov
anunent. The French Emperor, being' s
sow eathdied of the inability of the rebels
to accomplish revolution, has, probably,
with his characteristic foresight taken the
initiative in endeavoring to bring about a
raconoilistioa and peace. It is not very
likely that a minister, residing in Wash
. ington City, wouldlikelyvisitthe Capital of
rebellion against our government,
without tiring some explanation of his
raMeitiit. It is - probable, therefore, that
Mr. Seward-bnew of the Frenchman's in
tended'. visit- to--Itichmond, and that he
went there with our Seiretary's permis:

which bothers Washington's special cor

over the recent arrest of Simon Cinnerini,
on the complaint of Pierce Butler. The
indignant Forney sees in this arrest an•
other trick of the " Breckinridge Democ
raey." Butler's arrest and incarceration
bat Stallalller for nothing, were all right;
but his attempt now to prove his loyalty
to his government at the time he was
suspected, is a monstrous outrage, because
it is likely to inconvenience a suspected
and discarded public functionary.
But this humiliation will not-prove fatal
to the - ex-Secretary ; he will survive it.
We remember that when the General and
ForneY were rival candidates for the Uni
ted Stater Senate, about (oar years ago,
the latter published some reminisenees in
the Philadelphia Pinnsykanian, going to
show, that his competitor ought opt to
be elected, because of some financial tricks
he had played successfully upon the
"Winnebago Indians." But these rev
elations never annoyed the thick skinned
Cameronian ; he was elected over honest
John,.and in six or twelve months after,
Forney instead of talking and writing "in
gin" about his successful rival, devoted
himself to his complete vindication. In
this, although the Miserably stultified wri
ter did not succeed in purging Simon, he
succeeded in ooriv,insing his readers that
he was himself; at all times ready to vilify
or mime just as it suited his interest and
pummels. By the way, we haven't heard
• from.the - pious Forney for several weeks ;
we see anxious again to have an opportun
ity for the renewal of our "mog profound
consideration."

♦ Munificent Present from Corn
Vanderbilt.
Corn. Vanderbilt has made Mr. Lincoln
&present of his steamer Vanderbilt, now
lying at Hampton Roads, and has offered
to sell his next best steamer to the Cloy
ernMent, iron-elad, at a price to be fixed
by its owa appraisora. In consideration
of this generosity of Com. Vanderbilt, his
willingness to carry the mails, and hiscon
tract with the Overland Mail Company to
carry newspapers, the Conference Com
mittee on the ost-Office Appropriation
-bill struck out the section requtnng ocean
steamers to carry mails under penalties,
and the bill was passed in this shape.—
The, bill as passtid appropriates 320,000,
instead of 1125_ 1 000, for carrying the mails
between San Francisco and Crescent City.
ABOLITION.
Tiellithstony of Andrew 'mason.
" I would not be personal, but an Abol•
idol:list is as mit& a Secessionist as any
to he found in South Carolina. Now, as
much as these Disunionist of both classes
abuse each other, they nevertheless both
.unite in laying violent hands upon .the
Goverument that never harmed either. If
I were an Abolitionist, I would break up
the Union; for the disruption of the Union
must - inevitably destroy and obliterate sla
very. Hence we are for the prosecution of
this warto save the Government as found
ed by our fathers; for restoring the Con
stitution as we received it, without regard
to 'the peculiar institutions of any State.
That a Seceisionist and an Abolitionist are
oe Ai par, I can prove by a simple sillo
gleni—an abolisionist is a disunionist; a
dunthonist is a secessionist ; therefore a
secessionist is an abolitionist." [Hos.

The following article is from.the editori
al column of the Philadelphia NortkAanwi,
MU, of March 18th, 1859. We litionblialt
it now, in order to show how that paper's
party has progressed from the conserva
tive doctrines which it at that time referred
to, so ably taught :
Slavery aid the Next Preside's-
tial Election.
From the North American and U. S. Gazette,
March 18tb.1859.
After an angry and prolonged contest, a
contest which has weakened the bonds of
our federal union, and thrown upon the
surface of public affairs a race of politi
cians who are more distinguished for noisy
seal than ability or statesmanship, the
vexed question of slavery is practically
settled. We care not what the legislative
or judicial record may contain favorable
to the supposed interests of slavery, the
cardinal fact is still the same. Freedom
has practically triumphed. There is no
more danger of slavery securing a perma
nent foothold in any of the federal terri
tories, than there is likelihood of our be
holding a snow storm in the heated days of
July. The laws of emigration, of climate
and physical geography, hare already de
termined, and will continue to determine,
that question in favor of freedom.
Another such contest as was witnessed
for the possession of Kansas is not likely
ever again to occur. The circumstances
were peculiar, the prize alluring, and the
competition eager and bloody. Free labor
triumphed, and, as we believe, triumphed
decisively and finally. Not only so, but
the war has been carried into Africa, if,
indeed, we may even metaphorically term
that war which consists of peaceful emi
gration of energetic farmers and artizsns
into the border slave States, which resus
citates an exhausted soil, and makes plain
and hillside resound with the blithesome
music of industry. Slavery, as every well
informed man knows, is silently, but not
the lees surely, receding from Maryland,
Virginia, Kentucky, Missouri, while Texas,
in its middle and northern parts, is being
settled by an industrious population, who
own uo slaves themselves, and constitute
an impassable barrier to the advance of
the institution in that direction.
Natural causes, the laws of political
economy, are working out the problem of
slavery. Why, then, should it continue t;
mingle in the politics of our country t
Why should this question still continue to
rex and disturb the public repose, and di
vide this Union into hostile camps, as it
rare, and buildup what was so muds fear
ed and deprerateel by the founders of the
republic, geographical parties? Must all
other questions be postponed? Must the
fanatical pro-slavery man on the one side,
and the fanatical anti-slavery man on the
other, usurp the public attention, and with
their hobby override all other considera
tions:, Is the foreign and domestic
policy of the government to be ignored, and
our Presidential elections to be decided with
sole reference to the popular sentiment re
specting slavery
We trust not. We desire to behold the
Opposition contending for the supremacy
of such principles of administration, and
such views of popular policy as will
make their banner welcome in every State,
from New England to the Rio Grande.
We deprecate a sectional contest, and
should hare but little pleasure in a merely
sectional trinusph. We fear, however,
that attempts will be made to relight the
fires of excitement, and conduct the next
Presidential canvass in the lurid glare.
It is already proposed to print a hundred
thousand copies of Helper's "Impending
Crisis of the South," for gratuitous dis
tribution, "especially in Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and the
other border skive States."
Mr. Helper's hook, we believe : is a very
good one, and well suited to enlighten the
public mind: with regard to the economic
results of slavery. No body can object to
benevolent gentlemen circulating as many
copies as they deem proper. If they think
this the most effectual method ofgetting rid
of slavery. let them carry it outto its utmost
results. But, have they any other object?
Is it for the benefit of the slave or the tri
umph of the partizan that they engage in
the dissethination of this work ? "It is
confidently believed, says an able cham
pion of this scheme, "that such circulation
will be a signal and seasonable prepa7
ration for a Republican triumph in
1860, and for a speedy extinction of slat
very, at least throughout the present border
slave Slates." The first object is a Repub
lican triumph, and this, too, upon an anti-
Slavery basis. Can Bell, Crittenden, and
hosts of good men and true, in the slave
States, stand upon such a pla(forns asthisY
Will thousands of others in the free States,
in Pennsylvania, in Illinois and New Jer
spy occupy it ? They may agree with Mr.
Helper in all all his argtementsand deduc
tions; but will they be willing to transfer
a question which belongs to the States, into
the arena offuleral politics, and jeopard
all the great interests of the country, and
even the stability of the government itself;
to achieve a Presidential election? Those
who so confidently embark in this project
may fi nd, when it is too late, that they have
grossly misjudged, and, instead of gaining
the victory, have covered themselves with
ukfeat."
Plot Deteoted in Nashville.
.The Nashville correspondent of the gin
cidnati G tett*, writing on the 14th inst.
"Late Saturday evening one James; T.
Bell, a Seotchmau, who was the local edi.
tor.and one of the proprietors of the Nash
vile Daily Gazette ,
was arrested in this
city-and conveyed by the provost guard to
the penitentiary, 'for seditious languageand
: probable connection with midnight' con
spiracy. The fact which led to his arrest
waa that he approached a man whose seri
timenta he had misapprehended, and in.
forined him confidentially that, at'Anid
night Saturday, the city bells: *add be
rung au a signal, and the lilt Union man
'cleaned out.' He is one of the City Coun
cils who refused to take the oath of allegi
ance, by the advice of W. F. Cooper, Esq.
"Though the man is light material, and
would hardly he entrusted with the deep
secrete of a serious conspiracy, the Pro
vost Marshaldid well in putting out an ex
tra guard; and patrolling the streets with
cavalry and infantry all night. Men were
not permitted on any pretext, to assemble
in groups on the streets. It is not impos
sible, there was more import in Bell's lan
guage than our citizens who know him are
willing to believe. Straws may show the
current of the wind. Certainly, if the se
cessionists of Nashville bad not entered
into the atrocious conspiracy he divulged,
it was only for lack of courage and not be
cause they have not the will.
"An insurrection of traitors in Nashville
would have a most healthful influence. It
would bring on some of that just severity,
for want of which ourpolitical atmostphere
is breeding pestilence. "

A special Cairo dispatch to the Times

the Tennessee river, at Decatur and
Florence.
Hecent intelligence from Corinth con
firms the previous reports concerning the
magnitude of the enemy's force. Rein
forcements are arriving for, Beauregard at
an unexampled rate. He has now one
hundred thousand men, and is fortifying
Corinth, building intrenchments and con

Foirraass Nosaon, April 19.—The Nor
folk Day Book, of yesterday, speaking of
the arrival of 111. Mercier at Richtiond,
smemlates in regard to the object of his
mission, and says it is au.event fraught with
grave significance. The most probable so
lution, it says, is that a French monopoly
of tobacco underlies the whole mystery.—
We believe we declare the popular determ
ination when we affirm that the Confeder

which places them beyond the pale of pub
lic law, and attempts m their very waters,
on their very nationality. Let us but be
true to our honor, and we shall at least win
the acknowledgment of posterity that we
deserve to be free.
The Norfolk Day Book, of to = day, men
tions that in the skirmish of last night,
Colonel 61'1Cenny, of a 'North Carolina

Wssuiscrrox, April 19.—A portion of
General McDowell 's army day before yes
terday marched from the vicinity of War
renton Junction upon Fvedericksburgh,
a distance of 19 or 20 miles, which was ac
complished by six o'clock a.m., yesterday
morning. Its progress was disputed by a
rebel force ofone regiment of infantry and
one of cavalry and a battery of artillery,
which attempted to make two distinct
stands. They were,
however, drivenaeross
the Rappahannock after inflicting upon us
a loss of five killed and sixteen wounded,
all cavalry, including Lieut. Decker of the
Harris eat-airy, killed, Cu!. Fitzpatrick
wounded,and a valuable scout named Brut
ton wounded. Col. Bayard's horse was
badly' wounded under him. On Monday
after making their escape across the Rap
pahannock. the rebels applied the torch
and burned the bridge, thus delaying tem
porarily our progress into the town.
this time, however, that " obstruction is
probably overcome. It is not known what
the loss of the rebels were in the above
mentioned skirmishing:
