The sentiment appeared to be unanimous that the campaign should be made on the line issues as authoritatively stated by the convention, and no on dead, outside, or irrelevant issues provided by the enemy. In other words the Democrats propose to select the battle ground, and to define what we are fighting for, instead of leaving this duty to the other party.

The loss of millions of dollars' worth of property in ouisiana, and the utter devastation of an immense district of fertile lands, by the Bonnet Carre crevasse, is all chargeable to the idiocy of a cooper and the stupid inaction of his neighbors. The cooper cut a roadway through the levee for his own convenience, and when the water rose, attempted to stop the hole with a board. Then the people turned out and proposed to barricade the mailing waters with an old flat boat; but, while they were quarreling about the best position in which to sink the boat, the swelling tide swept the object of the dispute through the gap.

Washington, May 12. ot Washington as a whole, but there are some points waich will arise in the debate. They will relate principally to the articles which provide for the settlement of claims of British subjects.

Considerable surprise is expressed by Senator Sumner and one or two others, that the American Commissioners did not insist that Great Britain should submit schedule of the claims of her subjects, so that it might be definitely known of what kind they are, what they amount to, and that they will not include any of those to which the American people object. Earl Granville's letter to Lord Lyons about the claims of British subjects in France is cited to show that there is no occasion to fear that they wil be large but a reply to this assurance is, that we are not sure that England will abide by these precedents, and that lc would have been mud more satisfactory to have had these points definitely settled in the treaty itself. To show that these claims may be very considerable in amount, it is said $1,500,000 is involved in the case of the PeUr Hoff alone, which was captured in the Rio del Norte acd condemned.
