ck in the direction from whence she came immediately after the departure of the Yankee craft a French officer landed from the Frenchman and set out for Petersburg, but on arriving at that city ascertained that no train would leave for this city earlier than Monday morning, at half-past 3 o'clock. He procured a private conveyance by which means he reached Richmond some time during Sunday night. It is reported through a reliable channel that orders came up by the Yankee flag of truce for the French squadron to leave City Point immediately. The fact that the French had probably overstayed their time seems to confirm the truth of this report, though it may be that trouble is brewing in some other quarter, or from complications, the nature of which remains for us to learn. Since writing the above it has been ascertained that the Frenchmen were recalled by Butler on account of some informality in previous proceedings, and that they will probably return in order to get the tobacco.

it matters little, if a country is to have a master, who the master is. Does it matter little to France whether she is ruled by a Napoleon or an Englishman? To Hungary, or Italy, or Poland, whether a stranger or one of their own race sits upon the throne? To the South, whether a native born slaveholder or a Yankee abolitionist and amalgamations seize the sceptre? Why, there is not a king of civilized Europe whom the Confederate people would not prefer as their ruler to Lincoln, Seward, or Butler. But, again we say, no son of her begetting desires to be her master. If we are wrong, if it be true, as averred, that a would be tyrant within her own borders is seeking the imperial purple, and that there is no choice between him and Lincoln, why keep our armies another day in the field? If there is no such danger, why announce such a proposition, and conjure up before the patriotic should of the country, just braced up for a decisive struggle, a goblin to distract its attention and par
