The Editor of the "Wilmington Journal," ho is at-prwent in "Washington, writes to that paper, Tvltli reference to the probabilities ef the confirmation of Mfi Badger's nomination to the vacant U.'-S. Supreme Court Judgeship, as fol lows: ylr. Badger's confirmation is in 'statu quo, , with many doubts hanging over it. YoiKwill hare seen n ")e pipers that the bar and people of the Sou th-wps fern circuit, for which Mr.. liader bus' been nominated, are making all.ae-' tive opposition, viewing the appointment jof a gentlemen not residing in it as a slight to tnoso who do. I should not be surprised to hear of his rejection. One thing is certain though the Senators havo so far contrived to keep their Beoret upon the subject, and everything is sur , miscu," ' The oorrciponde'nt of the "Baltimore Sun," in his letter of the lStli, remarks : "The Senate ha.s been in executive session a gain on tlie n unination of Senator Badger as Justice i1" ibc Supreme Court. The-vote will be a very' close one, but I rather incline to the opinion that the nomination will be cmijirmnl. There is no personal objection to Mr. Badger, except that ho bedongs .to the opposite party, ami that his nomination was sent in only tevi-n ufeihf-vvejis previous to the coming in of a ". new aJmiiii-tiati'iii. ' And a eorresponJeiit of the' "Xew York Ex press" .b rvifs : 'It will dr-pend very much upn the decision of the Afalnuiu Senatorswhethcr Mr. Bador's nomination be confirmed or rejected.

THE REV. JAMES ROSS. A correspondent, in the Obituary column, in another part of our paper of to-lay, pays a well merited tribute to the memory of this gentle an, who died in Bertie Co., on the Gth ultimo.

It is well I worthy of pu-blic attention, that upon the popu- lar body of tha- Government, Kossuthism, and all other isms, have never made the least im pression. The Resolution was not only voted down, but laughed down, and-run down too. Even the loeofooo party had not trust enough in Presi dent Pierceto put ten millions at his disposal. Sa falls this scheme of plunder. The appearance of Ex-Senator Phelps, in a Senatorial sea,t, filling Mr. Upbam's vacancy, on Tuesd iy morning, must have impressed peo ple with ;tbe wonderful tbnnge that has been wrought ijf late years in the comniunication of '-intelligence: The Telegraph sent on to Ver mont, on Monday; Mr. Upham's death and the mail of Tuesday morning brought Mr. Phelps's commission, who happened to be in Washing ton.

There. was a 1 ,trge crowd in tlie "Senate to hear Mr. Ca-t, on Tuoday, upon bis Monroe doctriue resolution.

Un der the same rule, we may take Cuba, when necessary to prevent a- European power from getting possession of that key to tho Gulf . of Mexico, and outlet to the Mississippi. The proposition for a Tripartite Treaty indicates that England and France both intend to control Cuba. Soule is to fellow Mr. Cass. B.-C.

The "Standard," in representing us to have said that the locofocos "bad resolved to fore through the House" fhe Reid Gerrymander, has jjarbled the sentence from which- the above ex traot was made. That sentence, as a w1wde read : "resolved to force it through the House, at the hazard of anarcjiy and civil commotion," our design being thereby to re-state what wc had previously yrorai, that the locofocos were resolv ed, (as Mr. Reid virtually declared,; that if that bill could not pass the llouse, no other could, and they were then, (in our own language,) "ready to let the Legislature expire, and leave no Sen ate at all." . We do not k;;ow that it i3 necessary for us tp follow the Editor of the "Standard" through his long-winded tirades upon this subject. There are one or two points involved in the last article in that paper, however, which we may notice in our next, if we cannot find a worthier or moro reputable theme of comment.

But it is mainly through regard for the feel ings and position of its Southern Democratic friends, that tho "Herald" looks with an un favorable eve on the appointment of a freo-aoih Democrat, tJ a Juce in the Cabinet.

Louis Napoleon cerUinly could elaiin no greatr authority. Such 'prerogative as anathema- -:-r "f-n- --, Phile," at the time of his writino-vbad not seen that any other ." insect" had. given the editor of the " News " a back-handed stroke-r (Biing, he should have said, " as it was ""a whole nest of insects," that had been-"stirred up " by him ) otherwisa, he tnight hayo with held his sting. The editor does-not inform his readers whether these " insects ',' are yellow jackets, hornets or -bees, or what they are, but are judged by hiin 16 hnre " no print ' to their sting; at teaat Philo'S, though, "all sharpened to the conflict.'' - . ' " Philo" would respectfully inform Jhe editor of too " News," that his object was not ;to I "ting and wound him, but simply to state facts, la.... : .r ,u. :.: t b.-.j : . -J' ticii e.ctiYO in inu position mj iitt't assuiueu.- This be thinks he did satisfactorily ; arid, in doing so, it seems that the point, "no pomtru had stuck somewhere ; else, why so much whin ing on bis part t . " Philo " would further in form the editor, that those who have differed,, and do still differ, with him, relative to the is-, sues of tho lata election, and the views Of thai freeholders of Warren, upon the subject of free suffrage, belong not to tho "insect" tribe but to the Genus -Homo, and possess, in some .de gree, the intelligence, respectability and rea soning faculties of that species of creation, and are not left solely to the guidance of instinct. 1'iiiij s sttng, or pjmt, "no vona ' was uirecteu aainsi the assertion, mat free su'F- i rage was not an open and direct Usuo tho f campaign ot last year, and thttt the editor ot the Me s" was ycutty mistaken, if be sup-j p ;sed that the freeholders -of Warrerij wore in favor of that measure. He thinks he was sue- j cessful iu establishing both, the points 'in con- tioversy. But these, the editor of the " fXews" passes by in his recent article, by saving that "we showed last week in what manner that was ' done and shall not repeat it here." Well, now, bow did bo show it '! By simply stating that one free tuilrage man. went through the county, obtaining signatures to the letter addressed to Mr. Edwards. But did bo say in that article, Vr-does he iio .v say, that Gen. Hawkins and bis friends did nut itn all they po-ivihy could do to defeat Mr. Edwards on account of b'rs ISuown oij potition to free suffrage ? When ho denies this and sustains it by proof, such as will satisfy "insects," then ""Philo," and tbe rest of the "Nest," will admit that there was "nojHiut" to "l'hilo's" sting; otherwise it will bo taken pro con fesso. Philo made assertion, within his own knowl edge, of anti-free suffrage men having voted for Gen. II. lie only stated that free sutfrage men who were opposed to Mr. E's. election bad been heard to declare that they believed thutasmany of the one voted for Gon. ii., as did of tho Other for Mr. E. - Neither did "Philo" say that the Editor of the "News'' knew that fact and bad overlooked or forgotten it, but expressed bis doubts as to whether the Editor did know of the existence of such a fact, or ev n the expression of such a belief, by using the term, "if he knew." Bat it now bt-ems tiiut the Editor did have know ledge upon tho subject then, or has acquir ed it uiee, by saving that 1:0 such fact ever ex isted. Weil, upon that point, there will ever be a difference of sentiment, and the those who disagree with the "News," being of "insects, '' be needn't trouble hin umrlal self about writing any more editorials iu regard to that point. Wiisiher the views of Gen. II. concerning an appropriation to tho 11. & G. R. ii. bad any in fluence in the election either way, Philo know eth not; and he only intro laeed them to show that every thing calculated to influence a vote in his favor w as introduced for that purpose. But "Philo" still insists that "Free Suffrage was made an open and direct issue in tho campaign," by the publication in the "News" of' Gen. li's. Car l and its circulation in the form cf hand bills, in which be said that he was "inclined to free suifrago from its salutary effects in other States, but be would vote against it, if elected and instructed to do so, The question, whetlft-r repudiation in Missis sippi, and threatened Tepueliatton in Pennsyl vania, was one of the salutary effects of free sutl'rage, naturally suggested itself to the mind of the reader of this Card, and "Philo" heard the question propounded once, but without re sponse. Tho "News" s.av-s that "the writer (Philo) winds up by biting bis facts to the Register's previous statement. Philo rejoices- to learn that w hat he wrote is admitted to contain facts. His object was and ever has been to state facts, and be cares not whose "previous statement" they may lit, so that bis "facts" and the "state ment" correspond so nearly as in the present instance, that it only required a few words of in terpolation, by way of "chintering," to make the "sting" of the "iusect" penetrate deeper. As to l'hilo's interrogatory," it was a very plain and simple one, easily to have been an swered by the "News," if it knew, what was tbe issue involved, if it was not free suffrage ; as he has uniformly contended that that was not the issue. Ho says, "Philo ought to be satisfied with his own answer." "Philo and his friends, free suffrage men &nd.anfis," believed that thii was the main issue, if not the only one discussed during tlie canvass, and that the result turned upon that point, and as tho anti-candidate was successful, they conceived that tkey were justi fied in answering that Unit was tbe question, and that tbe free-holders of Warren were not in favor ot the measure, notwithstanding the de claration of the- "News'' to tbo contrary, .and notwithstanding a few suffrage mm voted for Mr. E. not enough, however, as we honestly believe, to have changed tho result, had they j voted differently. In thus disagreeingiwith the "-News ana expressing our convictions, we UE I tie thought that we should so "sting" bjui as to I induce him, to forget so far tbe decencies and proprieties of his position as a citizen and .Edi tor, as to characterize us as " insects." " So much" for the "News," now and forever, so far as this controversy is involved. - i , .'.',. PHILO. .- RALEIGH AND GASTON KOAD.
