is .forever linked with American history. Your
great abilities were called forth, and your world
wide reputation won in an unfortunate and bloody
conflict between the two sections of our great and
glorious union. This conflict should never have
taken place ; but we cannot recall the past, and our
thoughts are now on the future. Our section has
been prostrated by the conflict, bnt we hate wit
nessed with admiration and gratitude the noble
and magnanimous spirit exhibited by our chief
magistrate the president, in his efforts to restore
us to our proper position as a member of the great
American union. ; , .
We are glad to know that during the unhappy
struggle, and now, your feelings were and are lib
eral and kind, and that humanity always marked'
your conduct. Nor do we fail to remember your
chivalry and magnanimity at Appomattox Court
House, on the day of General Lee's surrender.
Allow me again to welcome you on this and all
other occasions during your sojourn, in our city, to
a 6eat in our body. v ...

The Matamoros Rancher o of the 10th inst. savs
that tlie firing oh the!' steamer Antonio from the
north bank, on Tuesdayjast was one of the most
dastardly outrages ever perpetrated on the fron
tier. The Antonio having on board a detachment
of French marines and two, field pieces, was find
ing her way up the' river1 under ":a heavy fire from
the combined forces of the liberals. She grounded
seven miles below the city, and while engaged
with the enemy on the Mexican side, a furious
fire, at long range was opened upon her from the
neutral side of the river, which was effective,
wounding ' two marines. The liberals on the
south bank were dressed m federal uniforms.
The French commander refuted to return the fire
from the Texas bank. .
The same paper says it appears to be the set
tled purpose of some men to brine on a war with
the United States and Mexico. It also says tlie

New Obleans, Nov. 27.
The Times' Vera Cruz advices to the 14th savs
everything is unsettled in Mexico, and sreneral
distrust prevails. Business is naj-alvzart. and
Maximilian's power is daily lessening. Puebla
has been selected as the general headquarters for
fciic luimsuiug ui me imperial army.
ine empress had started for Yucatan, unac
companied by -Maximilian, who follows in Janua
ry. The reception of the empress along the route
was tame, except at Vera Cruz, where the de
monstration was somewhat grand. She departs
for .Yucatan on the 16th inst.
Fourteen hundred reinforcements had arrived
at Vera Cruz, and more were looked for.
Galveston dates to the 23d instant renort the
arrival of the steamer Clinton, from the Rio
Grande, with a large number of white and black
troops homeward, bound, to be discharged. Pas
sengers four days from Matamoros state that the
liberals, about 25,000 strons. are encamned ten
milea, above Matamoros. JThe garrison ofr Mata
moros consists of Irregulars, some volunteers,
citizens, and detachments of Frenchmen) '
The Clinton brought the 28th regiment -.olored

A. Shady Side View of the Republican
Cause.
The Louisville Journal publishes the followinw
from a correspondent who has iust retnrned from
a year's residence in Mexico: .
There is no war going ion in Mexico! There
has been so semblance of war since the seizure
and' surrender of Oaxacain February- last ! That
was! the close of all republican demons
ag mst the empire. Not a battle has.been fought
between imperialists and ; lil)erals anvwhera in
Mexico, except some skirmishes in Sonora,
where the liberals were driven from the eountrv
bv the Sonorians themselves oeoiot vr n
of French, with a loss of but four or five all
told. Juarez is reported to have a few thousand
men with him, but they are on the northern fron
tier, and give or receive no battle. '
lhe most of those who are opposed to Maxi
milian are those who would most gladly welcome
his success mpse wno nave been disappointed
in his slow progress. I mean most of. those
whose, opinions and sentiments are of any value.
He has opponents, , as has all governments that
ever existed in Mexico, composed of the class of
'outs" that want to be "ins." These constitute
about the only classes of opposition the new or
der of things has.. As to republican opposition,
I venture the assertion, without considering it a
venture, that there is not an honest, intelligent
man in all Mexico who believes it possible for
republican institutions .to exist in Mexico without
an i ifusion of other peoples.
it has tried republican forms in their everv va
riety,, and yet every president has "been as much
of a despot, and necessarily so; as ever ruled in
lurxey. ah classes in Mexico now admit that
Santa Anna was the most successful ruler thev
ever had and they admit" in the same breath,
what all know to be true, ' that a greater tyrant
never lived. . - . ,
It is the merest and boldest pretence -whfoh
claims republican sympathy for upsettine the
present order of things; and if it should 'be up
set or abandoned, Mexico ' would be delivered
pack again into the same revolutionary turmoil
which lias distinguished and distracted her for
forty-five years. , Is (hat a cause to which an
American republican ' dare lend himself in- the
name of f humanity," forsooth. . .
Mexico has eotto e Redeemed , by . some for
eign powerihe world' needs -the' use-of Her
Wealth and her geographical position. It is an
expensive job to .redeem her, , We have shrunk
from it every time;when the temptation and op
portunity was right before us. .-: ?
tWe Would wisely shrink from it again to-day ;
and for a still greater - reason wonld we shrink1
from shouldering Mexico ?and a war with one or
more foreign powers at the same time If France,
Maxinyliau br any other power, will give Mex
ico to peaceable immigration, and. restore to it
law and orderand open its fabulous .wealth. - to
the jworld, no utryffwill prosper thereby ohe
hundredth par$ as much as will the United States,
and that without expense.
