CuRiSTMAi h Coming. Bright Lopes arc
gleaming iu tuecyes of tao little ones there's
sign about gathering and increasing day
after day that the season of gifts and ever,
green "garlands is at haul. Santa Claus. as
ene'of oar", city contemporaries very prettily
xpresses it, is preparing his stores, aim shop
windows .are filiirg up with curiou3aud at
tractive toys. Here and there a precocious
youth even anticipates tho good time coming,
by suddenly appearing in the streets with tin
or wooden trumpet, and he who La3 tried to
forget that the greet ho'iday annually occurs,
is reminded of its approach by the titarp
encking noise of a diminutive rattle. Groups
gather about wherever Christmas wares are
displayed, and in quiet hmes arc busy
thoughts on what 13 to be done, what is to be
got, and what is to bo given when the joycus
occasion comes round. Little Mary is ar.--ious
to know what the misterious " Krh-s"
will bring, and pa and inaare again and again
questioned on the habits and persuifs of that
venerable chimney-descender; click, cluck,
goes the peuduluiu of the clock, and as th:
moments tiy onward, bright festive sceuea arise
in the distance, and the happy forma in their
midst, cheer the winter fireside as " anticipa
tion forwards points the way." The summer
flowers are dead, and cold is the wind that
whittles about the cascmcuts. 3-et there's bloom
and beauty in the heart, aud Love si cds a
warmth over the outward dreariness. Youth
invoke upon Age the joy of the hour, and to
the latter there comes u 3 thronging memo lies
of the Christruas-s which have gone, never,
never moro to return, But no Fatness can
linger, for tao coming mirth is pressing on
ward, and will claim dominion over the time,
and lo! there a golden glow aV.ut the fun
eet of life illumining tbe clou !-n;cu,oi i s of
the past. " Be merry while you can," replies
Age to the salutation of Youth ; but the young
need no such kindly encouragement, for tLey
are merry, lively and romping. They may
not know that they there's a "time for every
thing" they feel that joy's own time is ap
proaching and they revel in the prospect.
Good things, pretty bright and pleasant, are
coming, coming soon Econ, the day will be
here when gleeringing voices will hail the
Merry Christmas-
A Btorm Brewing in Franco -Tha Respon
sibilities of the Emperor.
Louis Napoleon is evidently losing ground
amongst the French p?op!e. lie also seems
to be growing somewhat careless and reck
less. In the city of Paris, within a few
months, the indications of popular di-;r-at -.-faction
havo boen of the most unequivocal Lind:
and yet tha Emperor, instead of ma'Tifustirg
sympathy, and endeavoring to provide a rem
edy, has been indulging in fetes and pageants
on the most extraordinary scale. On this
tabject he ia said to bo a monomania' an 1
raiely loses an opportunity for a magnificent
disp'ay. On a receut occasion, the Indepen
dence Beige was prevented from euteiiog
France. It appears that it contained an of
fensive article in tho form of a letter from
Paris, stating that the Ministers had, in Cab
inet Council, earnestly urged unou the Em
peror the propriety, cay, the absolute necessi
ty, of renouncing a contemplated visit to Fon
taitbleau. They at lust prevailed, tlrjjsu
cot without much difficulty. Among the
reasons suggested were the following :
1. The difh'rences with Englaud.
2 The conditiou of the Bank of Fiance.
3. The suffering condition of the poor; and
the contrast which the brilliant fittsofthu
Court would exhibit to the miseries of the
masses.
A Paris letter writer signiiuntly remarks.
A tasts for boundless extra-'. iganeo and
luxury his always becu tho Emperor's pci'-yu-nl
characteristic. The Empress is amiable,
but mindless and frivolous ; the courtiers, a
bad specimen of a bad class, without the pre.s
tigo of hereditary rank iud fortune, living
moatly on their pay, aud eking out aa enor
mous cxpeuditun? by epeculation and even
less justifiable means. It is diuicult to imag
ine permanence aud durability to the result of
euch a system.

O We learn from the Ilolli.'.aysbi rg papers
that Col. Wm. Jack tf that place will net Le a

contradicting a report that he was onccrncd i.i
a cricd E'-hen'.e before Cnngrcrs, for getting
poFseEtiou of ISO . u;i!llc!i.s of Goverumtnt
lauds fT a Facie railroad. According In
Mr. Walker a lettt r, the company he is con
nected with are already on their way to the
PaciSe, and nrc successfully carrying a rail
road eight hundred miies through Texas, to
its Western bounds ry at El Paso, without any
grant of l?.iid or money from Congress. The
SiSt sectlcn of the road is rcaily ready for t!ie
rail; or.e thousand tons cf tho beii-t Pennsyl
vania railroad iron have beer already ship
ped, and will soon bo laid up-n the track ;
whilst, nil tha money to complete, ready fr
use, tho next section of fifteen miles, has been
provided. Mr. W.-dkrr contends, after h
says :i thorough investigation, that while the
Southern rout will by no means be the only
one to the Puciliie, ve t that it is the best and
shortest route between tho two great cities of
of the Atlantic and PaciEe, with lower grades,
without inclined planes, unobstructed Ly
finows. paswirj"' through i':ft most fertile coun
try and the lU-'iest minerals, cf co:d, gold,
silrer, lead and copper, and that it is the first
that will be completed. Mr. W. believes that
the sums now paid by the Government for
postal and military purposes, Cxed on thf
same proportional bus's, compared with the
service to be performed, would enable his
company to furnish the road to San Francis
co, tnd that Jt will be finished to El Paso
v.i:hout any su?h assi.-tanco. From the in
dications existing, it is apparent that tha d;y
is not far distant when a railroad will extend
entirely across this continent, and assist to
build up, upon our Wtstei u shores, cities 11
viiling those on the Atlantic, with a vr.st com
mercial marine, and a great American nava!
power in the Pacific. What a glorious desti

I he statement is made on the authoritv of a
correspondent of the New York Tribuue
Let us hope, for the sake of justice and Lu-manit3-,
that it is exaggerated. But if au
thentic in all the details, we cannot wonder at
the determination on the part of the natives of
Central America, to resist and pursue even
unto death, the authors cf such atrocities j
The worm when trodden upon will turn, and
the natives of Nicaragua and the Eeighbor
ing States would be miserable creatures, in
deed, if they were to stand idly by, and see
their property wrested from tin m by stran
gers, and their best citizens fi.reed into prison
or driv n into exile, and fcr 1.0 other cause
than fidelity to the authorities of their own
choice-. It be remembered that the Walker
Government recently announced the confisca
tion of seme of tlie tuOs;t valuable tr.tcs in j
the country. How did the mas.ter-s rdrit cf j
thfl invaders obtain these properties, and bv j
what authority does he ofiVr them Tor sab;?
But the other day, and his fooUfeps had Lev-
or pressed th. s dl of Nicarr.gm, and why J
should he now, after a temporary triuph over j
a feeble Government, venture to rvb the in
habitants; if not of their live.a, of the means
whereby they live. Let us suppose that aa
expedition had becu organized in one of the
States of Central America, to seize South Ca
rolina, and on tho plea thct the inhabitants
generally, black as well as white, would be
benefited thereby. Let us suppose, too. that
the leaders had succeeded for a brief period
had displaced the government, erected their
own authority, driven .some of the wealthiest
inhabitants from the State, and then put ur
their property at auction. What, in all prob
bilily. would be thecoursa of the otht-r States
of tlie American Union, usder thce circum
stances? A combination would take place
immediately, volunteers would pour in by
hundreds and thousands, and the invaders
would be nearly exterminated. How does
this supposed case diJer from that cf General
Walker, and those who are co-oratin" with
bi;n ? Which party in Nicaragua ia in the
right ? The natives or the foreigners? Who
are the nggressors the men who tailed from
the United States, with the olject of revolu
tionizing and taken px'session of a neighbor
ing State or the authorities and people of thr.t
Stare,, who are resisting them ' It is unneces
sary to fi.swer these question, fir cverv in
telugent and con sen r.tious reader must ad
mit that the strangers are the wrorg-d ors,
What, moreover, must be the e.Tict of move
ments of this kind upon American character?
Will not foreign government contend, cither
that cur national authorities are tgo feeble to
prevent the organization of fillibustreo expe
ditions 'upon -cur soil, cr that they have no
dispofchi-ni to check them ? The subj-ct in
all its bearings, is painful and humiliating, j
and while we shall d. plrrc the loss of lifo that
is likely to take place, there are few who view
the matter iu an euligt.tened spirit, who will
regret the overthrow of these boll marauders
Our government, it would seem, has become
ashamed of the part which it first played iu the
affair, by the recognition of Father Vigil, and
s now watching the progress cf events prepa
ratory to its final action. Tnjuirer.
The New Teekitouies Akezonia. A
letter from Washington says :
"It is understood that Utah will press her
claims this sessiou for an admission iuto the
Union as a State. An attempt will bo made
by the people of Minnesota, ibmuh their
Delegate, Mr. Rice, to have two States carv
ed out of that rich and Lcautiful Territory.
It already contains populatiou enough for the
desired object. Arezonia. consisting of the
western half of the Territory of New Mexico,
has petitioned for the establishment of a sepa
rate Territorial Government. Tho petition
is now before tho Committee on Territories.
Arezonia contains about 100.000 f-quaro
miles, and 100'J inhabitants. Tucson is the
principal settlement. At this point they are
working ihts stiver mines Succes'-fu!l y, when
not deterred from so doing by the hostile In
dians Some of the mines were worked in
the days of Mexican glory. The petitioners
fi- the erection of this new Territory assert
that, the rauge of mountains separating Are
?onia from ecs crti New Mexico deprive them
to a very great extent of the protection of the
Territorial Government against the ravages
d the Indians. Otero. Delegate from New
Mexico, is opposed to the formation of a Ter
ritorial Government, on tho ground that it
will thereby reduce the population, and delay
thea 5mision of Now Mexico into the Union

Gov. Geary's policy elicits general commen
dation. The fcauda cf robbers heretofore reported
about the bead of Bull Creek have been dis
persed. Commissioner Iloagland and Marshal Jones
were some time siuce dispatched, by the Got
ernor, to the southern part of the Territory,
with two companies of cavalry, to make ar
rests and quell the reported disturbances in
that section. The object was accomplished.
Some twenty or thirty families residing near
Council Grove, whose lands have recently
been included witLiu the altered boundaries
of the Kansas Indian Reserve, have appealed
to the Governor to intercede and prevent them

this inclement season of the year, as is threat

If any one doubts this, wo can send 'facta and

JUDGE CAMPBELL
Of the report of the Postmaster General, tho
Philadelphia Gazette, an opposition print, re
marks: "It is due to Mr Campbell, who has made
his last anual report to Congress, and is about
to retire from his high office, to say, what in
need we can eny in strong and cordial terms
that he has performed the onerous but honor
able duties of that office with a sigle eye to tbe
interests of the public, with a faithfulness ia
dastry, ar.d ability unsurpassed; that he has
fally met and answered all just claims of tbe
community upon him, and will leave the de
partment in as prosperous a condition as waa
possible for the administrative skill of single,
man to render it."
