Worth Th'nkimj About.—An old officer of the French artny, who “saw the fall oi‘ the Empire in 1^14,” and who “wears the St. Helena medal,” has .iddressed a conimunication to the i'rcneh or- ^an in this eoutitry—the Conrn'f^r ^ Lms —in which lie predicts the tollowi»ig results from th*‘ lisriietnhernipnt of the I nion: “ i he I'liiteU States, as they now stand, are re- s])ected by all the itatiijns of the eartli:huril they were to divide theuiselves into two or three con- lederations then would bejiin reclamations Irom all the Powers which might think themselves entitled to make them. “As I .saw tlie fall of the French empire in 1814 and 1815, and that each power regained often, more than it had lo?t, 1 can tell you what would happen in America, if the T'nited .States shoiiM separate and find them.selves reduced to ‘ivil war. In the first place, France would retake Louisiatta, according to ancient treaties; Spain would reclaim Florida; England would apj)ropriate (_)roron and several other States; 31exico, under English .pro tection, would retake the territory of New Mexico, Texas and California; and England might perhaps keep California as an indemnity for the subsidies furnished to the Mexican government in this war. against the former I 'nited States. ‘“Now you will ask me how all these resumjt- tions could take place, and by what right? 'J’hat is very ea.sy to explain. It is I^ouis Napoleon who would begin by a very simple and logical process of rea.soning; lor every one knows that Napoleon in aims at consolidating all that Napoleon I had in view as to foreign policy. Now, Napoleon 1, i» 1803, ceded Louisiana to the United States for the sum of five millions of dollar^, which the gov ernment ot the United States engaged to |.;iy to the American merchants whose goods and sbijis had been seized during the wars d‘ the I’veneh republic, from 1702 to ISOl. lJut as the I 'nited States have not paid the aforesaid five millions, and as, for more than forty years, we have seen brought before Congre.ss, .se.ssion after .session, a French spoliation bill, which has never been pass ed, therefore, as soon as the I. nion shall be dis- •solved, tho.«e who claim this sum will address themselves to Louis Napoleon, and I have no doubt, considering his character, that lie will pay their demands aud retake Louisiana. I']ngiand, who suspects some such thing, has already order ed several ships-of-war to the (julf of MeJwico. See how Providence, having such an instrument as Louis N.apoleon to work with, can bring every body back to harmony.” Cnseem/i/ Induhjencles.— One of the most ex ceptionable features in the secessit)n proceedings, as far as they have reached, is the frantic j(iy ai>d exultation with which the people of tlie .sccediirg States hail the Ordinances that are one after anoth er sounding the knell of the Union. If we were one of the most ardent and enthusiastic advocates and supporters of the doctrine of separate aud im mediate secessiou, we could not but contemplate the work of disintegration, whilst it was going on, with mournful sensations. We do not and cannot rejoice over the down fall of the Union. We think that it is a subject of melancholy contemplation, and although we will stand by Virginia in whatever determina tion she may come to regarding her future course, and although we have no idea that she will re main in the Union one hour after a positive and final refusal ot the ruliug Northern party to con cede ail her Coustiiutional riyhts and secure them by proper guarantees, yet, if she shall be necessitated by such relusal to secede from a Union around which have been entwined so many of her affections, we trust that she will not blur the dig nity and solemnity of the act by demonstrations like those which have marked the secession of South Carolina, Alabama, Florida and Mississippi. We hope that she will retire, if retire slie shall, with the decency and decorum appropriate to the occasion. As she fired no salutes aud kindled no bonfires to testify her y’oy at Lincoln’s election, so she will indulge iu no exuberant and unseemly manifestations of delight when, as a consecjuence of that election, there shall be a severance of her connection with her misguided, wrong-headed, stubborn and perverse sisters at the North, lu bidding them farewell, it will be no shame to her to drop a tear as she turns from them over the sublime and hallowed memories of the Past that at such a moment must rise up to sadden the adieu.—Petersbuv(j Express. Who Shall Pay the Piper?—The secession of all the Cotton States, which is now spoken ot as a fixed fact, holds out a prospect of taxes to the people of those States by no means enviable.

Not one ot these States pays as much revenue on importations, into the Treasury, as it takes to collect it. Of course if free trade were established in the Cotton Republic, the revenue from duties on imports would be cut off, and the Post-Ofiice yielding nothing, there would be no other resources than direct taxation.— Whiy. One Effect of Lonij-ritntjn Wenponx.—('ham, the clever Parisian caricaturist, is making himself very merry with the lung range weapons now so generally in vogue. According to him the word of command on drill will be, “AttcntionI Spy- glasscsl Firel” The new weapons enabling the hostile armie.s to fight at great distances, the van quished army will be summoned by telegraph to surrender; ami a victorious hero returti^d from the battle-field, and recounting the events of the campaign, when interrogated respecting the per* sonal appearance of the people against whom he h.us been fighting, will be obliged to confers his inability to .«atisfy the curiosity ot his hearers up on this point, as, though he saw the tire, he was quite out of sight of the enemy. Eril of Cictl Har.—The I)uke of Wellington in the House of Peers on a memorable oopjisiiui, said: “My lords, 1 am one of those who have pro bably passed more of my life in war than mofct men, and principally, I may say, in civ;l «ar too; and 1 must say thin, that if I rould avoil, by any sacrifice ichatxoevtr, even one month nt^vil war in the country to which I am attached, U^ould sacrifice my life in order to accomplish it.”
