FRANCE AND’ THe Unrrep Srarrs.—
Formeriy, ard up to a late period, ‘there’ was
' a cordiality between the people of the Uni
ted States aod of France, of the most grati»
. fying character to both--nations. France
gave thelter-to the early American statesmen and philosophers and interposed her
arm:to shield us when we needed it. We
wledged the fuvor, and the Stars and
Stripes were intertwined. with the Tricolor,
on many occasions, as if the two countries
would never rend the bend of uffection that
bound them together. Napoleon the Great
ae sold Louisiana to the United States for fifmillions of dollars, and the remarks he
about the aale se it was about to be
ted showed his great sagacity as
endship for our Republic. To
nee pation on our side of
heck to the power of
i fora transfer of an
to the United
States. Itis true the. European combina~
tions against the great commander. were of
such power as to require the utmost efforts
of the French to meet them, and colonies
‘and = refinement.:

periodical excitements that sweep our State
have « tmos¢ ruinous effect in more ways
than one. Itis barely possible that alt who
pull up stakes on this side of the mountains
will better their condition on the other side.
A grest many are liable to be disappointed.
A grest ‘many will be disappointed. . The
excitements of a new country will keep them
from returning. The stir, bustle, life of a
new region will attract every one within its . reach, and ore excitement will lead to anothLer, till the quiet that begets reflection and
moral.and mental improvement is uuendurable.
California was beghinieg to * buita up
schoole end libraries. Her peopje were
_-Lerecting and adorning homes as if to pass
their days in enjoying the fruits of their labors. There was a goodly share of apparent contentment here. But«#@w excite
ments have unsettled the minds ot more
than nalf the population of the State and the
evil influences spread to others like a contagion. The minds of schod! teachers are
notso thoroughly engrossed in their calling
as-they used to be. Our libraries are com‘. paratively unvisited. Nothing is talked
about but “feet.” No matter about heads,
if plenty of feet canbe had. Books, instruction, intelligence, are nothing. “Feet” are
requisite and only feet. That society will]
suffer by these excitements is beyond dispute.
That the rising generation will lose by the
state of things cannot be doubted. :
These periodical excitements are auing to
continue. The territory as-yet unexplored
for minerale on this side of the continent is
extensive. It will be searched, and pros»
pected. We can easily see the result. The
greatest mining region on the-globe will be
laid open. The United States will almost
furnish the world with metals. Californians, and men of the coast. will accuniulate
wealth beyond precedent. But society
here will be practical, but wanting education
Tne. quiet essential to
study cannot be had. Necessities of mining
will sharpen the inventive genius of the peos
ple, but.echolars will be few, and society
will be feverish, volatile, und somewhat Parisian. .
EASTERN News.— aides. Dana has sucadiatant part of the world were in danger of }eeeded to the command of Blunt in Louis
being lost to France. This danger had
semething to do with the cession of Louis~
ioua. But Napoleon looked beyond this and
calvulated for checks upon “la perfide Albion.” He was nota great advocate of French
coloaies. To make France a grand Continental Power was the main object. No Al»
-goria, Tahitu or Mexico greatly excited his
ambition. Such ambition was left to fire
the blood of of the son of bis step-daughter.
Times have changed. A new ruler sits on
the throne of France. The completion of
the fortifications of Cherbourg, the launching of a vessel or two like the Gloire, the re+
sult of the battle ef Solferino, a few inconsiderable victories in Mexico, dabbling with
the Italians, and publication of a work en Juliue Caosar—these events have given the new
Emperor an idea of hie own importance.—
He, unlike bis uncle, wants colonies, which,
unless backed by a powerful navy equal to
that of Britain, are a weakneas rather than
strength. Coloniee, unless strong of themselves, which Mexico, with its antagonistic
parties, cannot pretend tu be, add nething
to the strength of a nation, but deduct from
it. But Loule Napoleon would go further
and weaken his nation still note. The only
. Power on the ocean that can opetate as a
check upon the colossal naval superiority of
the British is .the United States, and that
Power, which the great Emperor strove to
build up, bis successor Would break dowa by
a division of its territory. Between the rebela and the French Emperor, there ia and has
been, too much sympathy: Under the influ.
ence of the Tuilleries Paris has become a hot_bed of secession. The tace of friends of
-our Republic that formerly prevailed in
Frawce ip becoming extinct. Noble specis
. remain in the persons of auch phiViotor Hugo, nuble men! but they are but
leadersof a minority, There is a quiet, sen. site under current of opinion all over
France, in consonance with the ancient love
between the two countries. It wants but
_the appearance of danger to France to come
to, the surface and be recdgnized. Diplo~
macy en our part will help it. Ifwe but
enter into an alliance with the nations of Eu.
rope jealous of France and England, our triumph over our enemics will te secured and
right reason will again retura tv the sympathizers with American rebels, and Mexico
will be secured against eererca chi

The new general had a fight with the rebels
and lost 800 prisoners. But he is taking. the
proper steps et even.
The reports from the enemy on the Rapidan are contradictory» One account makes
Lee retreating to Richmond, while another
— Hill's corps ae making attempts
to get in the rearof Meade to cut bis communications. Our troops are said ante
pared for battle.
Price's troops are deserting and coming tol
enlist in our armies in Arkansas. The Beet SS
villas to that quarter are discouraged and . .
many have thrown down their arms. The
people in Arkansas consider that country
lost to the Confederacy hopelessly. Cotton
burning has ceased, and some lots are being
brought in for sale. me
Some fellow has swindled the ‘Richmond ee
bankers out of a hundred thottsand dollars

Prices at Bannock Ciry.—Geo M. Wil.
son formerly of this place, writes from Bannock city, Idaho Terfitory, under date of
Sept. 18th, He says the country is pretty
much the same in appearance all the way
from Virginia city. The mining region-there
is dry and the water all monopoheed. The’
gold is fine and has to be saved with quicks
silver, which is worth $150 per flask. Flour
is worth from $25 to 28 per hundred, bacon
50 cts per, pound, sujiir from 45 to 70 ots,
beef 25 ots ko.
