After all, it may be that the tobacco does not belong to France. France. We have seen it stated that it is the property of Auguste Belmont, a member of the firm of Rothschilder and an alien enemy. If France wants the tobacco, she knows how to get it. Let her raise the blockade and carry it away.

To suppose that we are to be so overcome by the condescension of the Emperor, in ordering his Minister to Seward to this place, as to forego a settled policy in consideration, is to take us for the dolis and lickspittle that we undoubtedly should be, were the attempt successful.

The officer, perhaps akin in spirit to that King of France who "Marched his men up the hill. And marched them down ages." considering discretion the better part of velar, and not wishing to encounter the brave daughters of Virginia, prudently removed the obnoxious bunting which his own hands had helped to elevate. They then went on board their boats, where some time was spent in drunken revelry; when another posse was sent ashore to arrest Capt. Walker, an old river man, who resides in the town. They endeavored to compel him to
