we could do for either party, and whether with a view to our transactions in Mexico, or to our relations with the Cabinet of Washington, the friendly forbearance of the Southern Confederacy is an important point in our favor. [from the London times, Dec. 7.] The President of the Confederate States has delivered his Message on the meeting of the Southern Congress. The usage in the Northern federation is for Congress to meet on the first Monday in December, which this year fell on the 2d, and in a few days we may expect to have Mr. Lincoln's Message to the Republic of which he is Chief Magistrate.--But in the Confederate States the practice of the older federation has not been adopted, so that President Davis has the start of his rival by a few days, and is able to make an impression by a bold and confident manifesto, while President Lincoln is still engaged on his own lengthy disquisition. The summary given of the Southern Message shows it to be a State paper of great intere

Assassination in Texas. --The Waco (Texas) Southwest, of the 5th inst., has the following: Last week one of the most daring and diabolical attempts at assassination that ever disgraced the records of any country, was made on the person of Mr. S. H Johnson, about two miles east of this place, as is believed, by a man named Ell Ensor. Mr. Johnson was driving to town in a buggy, and in passing a thicket was shot by a concealed person. One ball passed entirely through his neck, and ledged in his cravat, another struck him in the hip, and still another in the leg. He was taken to his home, and everything that the kindness and affection of friends and relatives could prompt was done to alleviate his sufferings and ward off the fell stroke of the grim-visaged monster Death, but without avail. His friends had flattered themselves with the hope of his recovery until Monday night last, when he suddenly grew worse, and breathed his last on Tuesday morning. His burial took place on

llowing extract occurs: As a friend of America, as an Irishman deeply interested in the welfare of America, I am for a Northern Confederacy and a Southern Confederacy; but, as an Irishman, as the friend of America, I am against, and shall ever be against, the English Government or people stepping in to settle this dispute, by annihilating, or attempting to annihilate, the Northern States. English Reivew of the Federal Navy — its Insignificance. From the London Times, of the 5th inst., we take the following: In our columns of yesterday the public had an opportunity of learning the exact strength of that Navy with which — if the American dispute should admit of no better adjustment — we may presently have to cope. The force will not be thought a very formidable one. More than half the list is composed of vessels which we should consider utterly useless, except, perhaps, to be knocked to pieces as targets by our new artillery. Sailing ships have long ceased to co<

For it is well known that for some time past the Emperor of the French has urged on our Government the expediency of a joint recognition of the slave Confederation. Let not the people of this country be deceived by our timber-rig politicians.--The best informed well know that the Trent affair will lead to no conflict with America; the early recognition of the slave Confederation might, and most likely would. The London times on the speech of John Bright. The London Times, of the 6th inst., has an editorial criticising the remarks lately made by the Hon. John Bright on the arrest of Messrs. Mason and Slidell, in which it pronounces it a wishy-washy affair, and of no special importance either one side or the other. It concludes as follows: If Mr. Bright, who was supported at Rochdale by the U. S. Consul, and, no doubt, by all the aid which the United States can afford, was unable to do more than sneer at all international law, and, at the same time to give up the outra

Young's regiment, 5 companies of Col. Greer's regiment, and Col. Whitfield's battalion to the assistance of Colonel Cooper, against Opothleyholo and his Jayhawking allies. Who is Opothleyholo?

His first appearance in a public capacity was about 1824 or 1825, soon after the murder, by the Creeks, of Gen. McIntosh, who was killed for making a treaty with the United States. Opothleyholo's name made its appearance about that time as the leader of the party opposed to the treaty. He is an elo
