Hor news bas been anticipated. ‘The news by the Scotia is three days later than tho re- port by the City of New York. Advices from Paris represent that Mr. Slidell! had tong interviews with M. Drouyn de Lhuys, the Foreign Mintater, on the 20th and 2ist August. ‘The Paris correspondent of the London Pimes thinks it Bot unlixely that, though the French government has tomporartiy laid aside the Polish question, it will carry for some months to come its reserve and silence towards Russia to such @ pitch as to excite almost uneasiness in ‘the latter Power. If, after a ‘in time, the pacifica- ‘tou of Poland ia not an accomplished fact, and the quea- ton atill continues an open one, I’rance will very proba- bly again assume a warlike mion, and above all again endeavor to obtain the co-operation of England in con- tomplated hostilities.

[MPORTART POLiT.CAL MOVEMENT. | President Lincoln Renomi- | nated by a Majority of His Cabinet. | Secretary Seward’s Leader in the New York Times. {From the Now York Times, Sept. 7.) THE RIGHT MAN IN THE RIGHT PLACE. ‘Tho President's fetter to the Springfield Convention ro coives the unqualified admiration of loyal men through. out the breadth of tho land, Various ag have been thoir sentiments on some ot its topics, it is yot their untversa testimony that nothing could have been more true or more apt. Its hard sense, its sharp Outlines, its noble temper, defy malice. Even the copperhead guaws upon it as waia- ly a8 did the viper upon the gle. Mon talk about a courtly felicity of epeeoh, and term it a rare aceomplishment. So indeed it is, Nothing but bigh culture and the most patient practice confers it, Here is a felicity of speech far surpassing i, yet decidedly uncourtly. The most con- summate rhetorician never used languageM@more pat to the purpose; and still there is not a word in ,Rot familiar to (he plainest plougtiiman. But what is still better than even felicity of oxpressicn, is felicity of thought. Not only the President's language is the aptest expression of bis ideas, but there is a similar Otuess of his ideas to tee occasion, He has a singular faculfy of dis- covering the real relations of things, and shaping bis thoughts striclly upon them, without external bias. In his own independent, and perhaps we might say very peculiar way, he invariably gots at the needed truth of | Crowd, and certain hints which were dropped of | 200N ¥ Pa’ the time. When ho writes, it is always said that‘ he hits tho sail upom the head,’ and ao he does; but the Doauty of it {s’¢hat tbe nail which he hits Is ure to be *the very ail of all others which needs driving. Nothing could have been better adapted to the exigon- cies of the time, in argupent, In expostulation, in warn- ing and Jo general tone, than President Lincola’s inaugu- ral, and yet it would be hard to conceive a more difficult or more delicate position than ‘ho then occupied. But is peculiar appositeness isqust as inantfesi In his Yess formal productions. Everybody was strnck by the remarkabie appreciation and force with which he urged Gen. Mgftiel- lan to more active military movements in the interval between the brttle of Antietam and that general’s final removal. Yet these lotters were not meant for the public eye at all, amd never would have seen the light but for the report of the Congressional Committee on the Conduct of the War. So, too, his (letter to Mr. Greeley, odd as it seemed at frat blush, was, a8 everybody now admits, perfectly adapted to that stage of tho war. His letter to the intercessors for Mr. Val- Jandigham uttorly annihilated the case they thought they had made 80 strong; and yet it was done in so gentala way that the victims themselves felt like joining in the | county bonds, so as to pay the three hundred dol- general applause. There was the same unpretentious | lars exemption for every drafted man. As a large aod yet irresistible power in silencing Governor Sey. mour’s factious remonstrances against the execution of the Enrolment law. This letter to the Springfield Convention, though in a very different vein, has just tho same fitness to the occasion, and the same effectiveness in ita own direction. Whatever:the effort, it is never mistimed, never misspent. : Lerd Brougham remarked of Washington that ‘the human fancy could not have created a confbination of qualities more perfectly fitted for the scenes in which it was his lot to beara part.”” This same consummate fit- ness for the times may be recogoized in the man at the head of the affairs of the country in this second great crt- sis of its existence. Rathor we should say is recognized; for it is certain that, in epite of all the hard trials and the hard words to which he bas been expored, Abraham Lineoin is to-day the most popular man io the republic. All the denunciations and all the arts of demagogues are perfectly powerless to wean the people from their faith in him. There is a general conviction that he is just the man for the Occasion. And it is a gonviction that is con- atantly growing clearer and deeper. The more experience the country has of President Lincoln, the more*he obtaing its conddence. : 1t would be hard to think of two men more vntike in some of their characteristics than the first Presidcut and our present one. Yet, in goneral cost of mind and heart the latter probably moro nearly resembles Washington than any of his predecossors. Without anything like brilliancy of gonius, without any very groat breadih 0, information, or literary acocmplishment, or inventive Power, he still bas tbat perfect balance of thoroughly sound faculties which glves an a/most infallibly sure Judgment. This, combined with preat ca mness of tem- per, great firmness of purpose, £uy ene moral principle and intense patriotism, make up just that character which fits him, as the same qualities fitted Washington, | for a wiso and safo adminiatration of affairs in the soascn | of great peril. It ig alimost fearful to contemplate what might havo been thie consequences had wean Executive of different mould. We have had Presidents of a nsadstrong tempor, | who, when hard pressed, would listen to no counsel, but rush on seif-willed; others of a feebleness of spirit that made them the mere, playthings of circumstances, or the | passive tools of other men’s arts. We have bad Pres! dents who would have found it almost impossibie, in any exigency, to rise above a party level; others who, though they might detach themselves from party, would do so only to acek the ¢wilt, popular current that should’ bear them on toasecond term. Had we a man now at the head of affairs belonging to auy of these classes, tho national ruin would bo almost inevitable. There could have been bardly a hope of escaping wreck, in this dread. ful storm, under such pilutage. The very kuowledge that | webadso unroliable @ hand at the heim would have almost paralyzed effort. ‘bere would bave Leen no such collected energy ac we lave socn, no such steady coul- dence in the great popular heart, All would: ha: been uncertainty, dissension and couiusion. We have had many reasons to de thank(ul to heaven for its order- | ings ia aid of our rightly acquitting ourselves towards | this wicked rebellion: but for no one thing have we so | Brent cause for gratitude as for the possession of a ruler | | | who Is 80 peculiarly adapted to the needs of the time as clear beaded, dispassionate, discreet, steadfast, honest Abraham Lincolv. ET FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. by a!eading operator, seller '* ~e¢ | to depress the prige of gold. The stock macket opened firmly this morning; but a quantity of Brie and other stocks being pressed for adie for cash, prices dropped off again even before the first board. [t is ‘under: stood that late on Saturday some large ope- ration’ took place, by which parties who were somewhat embarrassed relieved themselves, and one or two new and large operators became heavy holders of stocks at a price some- what below the current rate of the market. Thia may account for the marked efforts which were made tg morning to check @ premature upward movement, At the first board Missouris rose 1%, Cumberland %, Quicksilver 4, Hudson River 1 and Chicago and Alton 1. On the other hand, com- paring prices with those of Saturday afternoon, New York Centra! fell 2%, Erie 134, Erie prefer- red 3}4, Harlem 8, Reading 1, Southern old 3, Iili- noia Central 2, Pittaburg 114, Galena 2, Rock Island LA, Fort Wayne 3. There was nothing done in oe governments, which have become very dull indeed | 999 since the panic. At the close of the board and between the boards the market was dull and lower, though without any pressure of cash atock. Erie declined to 103% a %, and was rather ham- mered at the decline.
