is determined not to take the "initiative" of any such measure. Tone of the Paris journals. The Paris press continues to excite irritation against the United States. Some journals even declare openly in favor of intervention. The tone of this discussion, the energetic terms employed by Lord Russell in his response to thet France interfere if she likes.' It is a nice game between England and France. Each evidently is afraid to trust the other as a follower in a war against the United States, and each is thus manipulating and manœuvring to get the other first involved in this imbroglio. In this thing may lie our safety; but so strong are the desiggnizing the Southern Confederacy, and a searching investigation of the conduct of the Ministry in carrying on, at a vast expense, preparations for war with the United States, after receiving assurances from Mr. Seward that Captain Wilkes had acted without orders, and that the Government of President Lincoln was desirous to maintain

icious were excited. That at the time he and Adkins, who roomed with him whenever in town, were together, and that Turner, seeing the two, staggered towards them and entered into conversation with Adkins, ending by calling him "a damned Abolitionist." Mr. A. denied the charge and rose up, when Turner, to steady himself, caught hold of him by the collar of his coat, when Adkins struck him in the mouth, drawing blood. The affair then ended, and Turner left. The private watchman of the Confederate States provision depot, formerly next to Hastings store, proved that Turner was very drunk on the occasion, and lingered around the door of that institution for some time, where there was a crowd of soldiers. He seemed disposed to be offensively loquacious. He saw nobody attempt to rob him. Dr. Charles S. Mills testified that he had appointed Mr. Adkins agent of the Midlothian Coal Company; the trust reposed in him was an important one, and he had unbounded confidence in his integrity.

[for the Richmond Dispatch.]Railroads — an Address to the Congress and Legislature. The time has come when the Virginia Legislature and the Government of the Confederate States will show themselves to be utterly blind to me true interests of he country, if they do not take immediate steps to complete the railroad between Keysville and Clarksville. It was a wise policy, doubtless, for the Confederate Government to pass a law for the extention of the Richmond and Danville Railroad to Greens they specially cherish, could be possible that a lesson taught by so dear experience, shall prove of no utility and of no effect? The interests of North Carolina and Virginia especially, and yet scarcely less the interests of absolute Confederate States, cry alend in this present emergency for the immediate complection of this half finished road. It can be finished in a short time, at little expense, with an absolute certainty that it will confer inestimable benefits upon the whole countr
