England, Afghanistan nnd Kussia.--j The Eastern Question Again. i Only a few weeks ago the great powers of Europe met in Congress at Berlin to i settle the vexed Eastern question, to dis- > member Turkey and to maintain peace between England and Russia. The plen ipotentiaries, all of them mighty men, i did their work well ? so the world 1 thought. The war-clouds which had ' darkened the Eastern sky were'dispelled. Tho Russian armies were forthwith with- , drawn from Turkish territory and; the British fleet from Turkish waters. Thr * world breathed freer and rejoiced in the I hope that the long-predicted and appa- l rently unavoidable struggle l>et\veen ? England ?.nd Russia was put off at least for a generation. The telegrams of the i last few days show how the best laid schemes of mighty nations are as likely t to "gang agley'' as those of mice. The t Ameer of Afghanistan has put an unbear- 2 able affront on the ambassador of Eng- c land ; he has at the same time received c the Russian embassfy with distinguished t cordiality and honour. This on the face f of it means that unless tho discourteous * Ameer makes proper amends, England ' will have a bloody war on her Northwestern Indian border. And wise men ? shrewdly suspect that if one goes "be- ? hind the returns" he will find that Rus- t sia has instigated the impudent action ol ^ the Afghan ruler, hoping to embroil Eng- e land in a wasting and harassing war, with f a semi-civ'lized but brave enemy who will fight England all the better by means t of Russian aid secretly conveyed. r The facts are as followsLast July, r Gen. Kanfmann commander of the Rus- ^ sian armies in Asia, sent an embassy to r the Ameer of Afghanistan. The embassador, Gen. Abramoff, was welcomed by ' the Ameer. England did not think it right that Russia should be represented at the Afghan court unless England also t had a representative there. Accordingly, 1 an embassy under Gen. Chamberlain, 2 was organized in India and despatched to c <?abul. To the surprise of the Anglo- f Indian government, tho envoy was for- I bidden to enter Afghanistan, although he j was a personal acquaintance of Shere Ali j the Ameer. Ho and his escort were ? ^ _ a. T???o A c ruaeiy naueu m mo i\hj ucci * ?~o. strong force of Afghans barred their far- j ther passage. The expressed orders of the t Ameer were to refuse the English am- 1 bassador permission to enter his territory. J Gen. Chamberlain retired to Peshawur to j . await instructions. The Viceroy's Coun- | cil at onco met. Gen. Roberts, command- ( ant of the frontier forces, has been sent . to Peshawur with secret orders. A large .. - force of English and Indian troops is or- i dercd to be in readiness on the Afghan ( frontier, where already 12,000 men are , massed. The excitementin England and India is intense, and the feeling is warlike. { Should war bo declared, nothing can be done In the way of military operations i until spring. f * A glance at the map of Asia will show ' how important is the position held by t Afghanistan between tho Asiatic posses- 1 sion of England and Russia. Tho Euro- \ pean power that can gain the ascendancy i in Afghanistan will hold the kevsof Ilin- 1 dostan. Both Russia and England are J projecting railroads to India, the former through the Khybeer Pass, the latter through the Bolan Pass, and the ruler of Afghanistan controls both passes. Hence the importance to England of koeping i Russia out of the Ameer's borders. i The Afghans arc a warlike people in- t habiting a country in great part mountain- i ous which covers an areaof 220,000 square ( miles. The population is about nine millions. The present rulor, Shero Ali, had i a fierce and prolonged struggle with his < brother and nephews to keep possesion l of his throne, and it was England thaten- ] abled him to come off victorious. < Hampton and Rice. j ? The open letter which wo publish to- j day written by Governor Wado Hamp- , ton to Governor Rice of Massachusetts ] will bo grateful to all South Carolinians , and lovers of South Carolina. The lame , aud impotent conclusion to which the Yankee governor came was to be expected just as soon as he was seen to take a - Radical and partizan position in the Kimpton requisition case. But it certainly was not to be expected that ho would in his reasons for said decision embody a slandering imputation of trickery on the part of Governor Hampton. This he did, however, and by doing so he certainly did no injury to our upright Governor, | for bis character is pure and even among intelligent Northerners is above suspic- 1 ion. But ho as certainly revealed the ' meanness of his own base character,?for * the corrupt and cunning are always sus- ! picious of cunning and corruption. His sins have fallen on his own head and that ' right early. His action in refusing to ! surrender the thief Kimpton has been so c severely condemned in the North aud in 5 his own State, lhat both he and his At- ( torney-General Train, a facile tool, have ' been defeated in their attempts to secure ' reuomination iu State Convention. He and Train will now join Daniel Chamberlain their friend in the limbo of ex-gov- t ernora and disappointed tricksters. < c t The Cotton Crop and Piospectg. I The review of the prospects of this year's cotton crop which wo publish to- s day will give our readers interesting in- { formation. It shows to what extont the t . stagnation of industry in the j'ellow-fe- c ver region has affected and will affect the ( general yield. So much damage has been I' dono by quarantine and embargo, by j death and desertion, the cotton crop of Mississippi and the other stricken States Jj wiil be much below the average. |c Death of Mrs. L.

She was marri< not quite two years ago to Mr. Ligo ind since that time has been living the country wliero her husband was plan mir. She wns taki-n sick about foi months ago and was recently brought the Court House to he with the metnbe [>f her family. She suffered much, ar nil that medical skill, and sisterly alfe tion, and attention of friends could < for her, was done, but was unavailin While her ultimate recovery was n looked for, still her death was unexpcc cd and sudden. The young, loving wife, the devott sister, the aflectionato daughter, has u timely passed away. Words cannot e: press the loss sustained by her widowi liusband and bereaved friends, who hief consolation now will be a hallowc remembrance of her pure, womanly cha tcter, and her Christian walk andconvc nation. The funeral services took place in tl Presbyterian Church yesterday mor: ng at ten o'clock. Thereafter her r mains were interred in the cemetery Trinity Church. Abbeville Graded School.

HOW TIIE EPIDEMIC AFFECTS cr THE MARKETING OF THE o, CROP. lie -'d Demoralization of the Force of Pick?> ens in Some Sections?A Smnllei Yield Generally Reported from the it- Fever-Infected States.

The rains of August diil nc c" serious da mage alt hough in St.'.I.aiidr.v Parish lo and in some part-s of the Reel River districl boll worms have appeared, but up to date ?? have done no material injury. In the dlsoj tricts tributary to New Orleans the crop is n full one. With a continuation of favorable weather the yield will be beyond an .average one. The epidemic, so far as the gathering oi the crop is concerned, can have very Utile ef3(1 feet one way or the other. The fever Is con ? lined to the towns and settlements, and ha> not reached the plantations. In facl thepoor x- er class of refugees are seeking employment on the plantations, in order to maintain -a themselves until able to return to theli so homes. The most serious results of the epi, dcmic will be felt when the time arrives foi -c> sending the crop to market. Usually at thh r. season new cotton is beginning to come forward freely, but up to this time little bas been r- received. The rigid quarantlneestablished al all the shipping points prevents boats from New Orleans from landing for any purpose ie und until these quarantines arc abolished n there will be no way In which cotton can be H" shipped. At the shipping points on the New e- Orleans and Chicago Railr<?ad the people arc f ttK) much engrossed with caring for the sick 01 and burying the dead to attend to the receiving and forwarding of cotton. This delay In moving the crop will have a disastrous etl'ecl upon the general trade of the city. Usually, as the crop comes forward, the planters and storekeepers lay In their winter supplies and fall goods?drawing against their cotton In n" settlement. Hut this season thereenn be none ip of this tratlic. The fall tradeof New Orleans Is destroyed. The merchants here aware oi Hi this are purchasing limited stocks? not caring , a to fill their shelves with goods forwhlch there will be no sale* The orders that, but for the lie epidemic, would have come here are being billed In St. Louis and other cities. The u" large number of foreign cotton buyers wlu lie begin to appear here by the 1st of each October will not return this until much later?until all chance of Infection is removed. Wishes Ing to give their personal supervision to tiie execution of such orders as they may have, V- they will not transact their business through Iv brokers, consequently the demand usual at this time will be materially curtailed. The 1(1 cotton factors depend upon the sum received from these European operators to meet the obligations held by thebanks. These receipt.' r- being postponed, the paper will be extended, causing not a little stringency in the money r* market. To sum up briefly, tills has been a )n most disastrous season in the merenn tile sense ?one from which it will take New Orleans h ns long time to recover. Of MISSISSIPPI. th .Tackson, Miss., September I".?The yield , of cotton may come up to the average, but it OI will fall considerably below early expeetaat tlons on account of excessive rains In the , I soring and summer. A large percentage is IU I choked up by crass, and where It has been ?(} ! well cultivate t many of the forms were shed before maturity, caused by the wot weather. ?r The yellow fever epidemic has thus far con0rl fined its ravages to the towns and cities and if kept within these limits Its efi'ects upon the cs gathering of the crop will be scarcely appreciable, but If it extends to tliofarms and plantatlons it will be disastrous. The cultivation a- of the crop ended in July; the picking season . begins about the middle of August and the ls fields are white In September and October, m the best months for picking; so that theyel. low fever season embraces the best part of the 1* cotton picking season, and if the plague become general in the country one-half or perhaps two-thirds of the crop will be left to rot 11- in the fields. No general movement or marketlng of the crop in hardly any locality need be expected until the fever abates. People s. are alarmed; there is a general panic, and they avoid towns and refusealtogethertotrav c" el on railroads. Trade Is almost parallzed for l- the time. There is a little trafile In necessaries, but beyond this no one ls willing or in>y cllned to buy goods or have them brought up1K on his premises. " I McCo.mb City, Miss., September 17.?The >3'| cotton crop ls above an average In this and ft adjoining counties, with no "drawbacks" up to the piesenttime. The present condition ol n the crop is good. It is rapidly maturing and is of good average quality. The non-Inter course between the interior and towns along a" | the railroads will facilitate the gathering ol . the crop, as no time Is lost In running "to ai town." The "quarantine restrictions" will io prevent a very large portion of the crop being marketed for some time to come. Receipts i- must be small until a very heavy frost andall ,e; danger from the fever is passed. Trade is I almost at a stand-still, but as soon as the stagnation is relieved sis above there will be _' an Immense business done. The season's ie ) trade will be concentrated In a period of three ;h moivths. Lexington, Miks., September Ifi. ? The -e prospect Is the poorest we have had since the l- war. The crop on the majority of the plantations ls grassy, and, where it has been cleaned r" the bottom crop was ruined In cleaning. Wherever yellow fever exists there is nothing doing. The laborer, as well as the land-owner is demoralized. Away from the fever laborers .. are gathering very well. There can be no marketing until the panic Is over, and trade Is paralyzed. There Is nothing doing, and the failure of the cotton crop will leave no money r- to operate on. k Ashland, Miss., September 10.?Our crop K will be 30 tier cunt, below an average. The ie crop has oeen damaged 25 ner cent, by the . ravages of the boll-worm, and 30 per cent, ol al the crop is now open ready for picking. The ,e weather has been dry and fair since the cot-ton began toopen ; It has not been injured by 'k wet weather, which causes It to become dirty ? and trashy. The epidemic will have no efi'ect upon the cultivating, that being over before w the epidemic reached our district. The gathering will be somewhat retarded on account ol excitement and anxiety produced by tlieeplik demlc, and the consequent loss thereby will ,y probably range from 5 to lOpercent. upon the crop. The marketing will be retarded from twenty to thirty days. The general prospects 'G of trade will be materially damaged for the ic present season. Memphis being the principal s mart for this district, whatever causes a suss pension of business In that city necessarily * reacts upon the country trade. Communlcal" tlon with that city ls now almost entirely sus"d pended, and will continue thus unlil theeplD demlc subsides. n Pontotoc, Miss., September 10.?We will }. make about a two-third crop. The present condition is good, and it ls being rapidly guthered. The epidemic will have no efi'ect upon c- the gathering unless it spreads Into our ii- county, but since Mobile has quarantined against cotton the efi'ect will be serious- on marketing. The general prospects of trade are very depressing. There ls nothing doing, io There is no market for cotton. is Iuka, Miss., September Hi.?Cotton opened of well, but the crop will be'JO per cent short, The epidemic will delay the marketing thirty days. We expect a fair average trade. Il" Louisvii.i.k, Miss.. September 18. ? The es cotton prospects of this county at present art ls very good.

Theepldemk will have no effect upon the crop in thh , county, either In the further cultivation oi ??| garnering 01 me crop, uwinn 10 me tiuaruuV tine regulations and u general suspension o n business In the market towns and cities, li will lie rather late when the crop ismarkcted (jood trade anticipated late in the fall.

We have good weathei for picking and work is progressing finely The epidemic does not trench upon the rici cotton region on the line of the Mobile ami Ohio Railroad, and is not materially lnterfer ing elsewhere, as it Is contlned to cities ant ill towns, ami forces farmers and laborers t< i stay at home. It interferes with marketing New Orleans and Memphis are closed by tin be epidemic, and Mobile's quarantine regula tfons prohibit Import of cotton In box cars 5e and the road refuses to transport on tints. Ii c. this county merchants buy and ship th< greater part of the crop, but of course arc de ut pendent upon New Orleans, Mobile am Memphis for funds?account sales. Theett'ec of the epidemic upon trade will be to give ui li- what we call here a late season; but the prob f ability is that a fair trade will be doue. li" Macon, Miss., September 14.? The pros a, pects are unfavorable, not so good as last yea: probably by 2"> percent. The marketing wil be delayed until late In the season, to Yazoo, City, Miss.. .September 14. ? Tin cotton crop Is short. The epidemic will havi y no effect on Its cultivation and gathering li al tliis section, and will also have none on it: marketing except for a few weeks.

We will b< thrown back I11 all branches of trade full: two months. tennessee. lie Mcrkreesboho, Tenn., September 13.The prospects of the cotton crop in this uis ,n trict arc fair, although the acreage is not sc lie large us last year. The condition of the croi at present is not as good as it was anticipated er On thin land the plants are smull und on goo< q. land, though large und full of bolls anc squares, many plunts have been affected bj ry rust. The damage done, however, is not suf flcient to prevent an average crop, and if tin fall season is favorable something more thai e- an average crop muy be expected in this sec ke tion (to the acre.) An early killing fros would, however, bring the yield per acr? ill considerably below an average. The epldem ie has little or 110 effect upon the cultivating and leathering of the crop, unless It be to has ten the gathering In order that the coltoi . may be placed In the market before the croj 01 in tiie infected country Is moved, Karmeri its hope to get a slightly better price 011 acconn of the obstacles in the way of handling tin Southern crop. The market, here will, there oe fore, probably be brisker. The epidemic haf 1 unsettled trade in a measure in this district in because of the feeling of uneasiness about th< i.p. spread of the plugue. Our schools have beei affected In some degree, and trade has beer ly delayed. Merchant* are now preparing foi f the lull trade, and a good business is expect lt- ed. We have little fear of the spread or tin epidemic in Middle Tennessee. jiumholut, Tenn.. September 12.?Owlnp to the continued wet weather in the early 18 part of the season and the continued drj weather In July and August, the cotton croji *y ha6 been cut short at least one-third. u" The condition of the present crop ib vcrj er good, and in thirty days in advance of any ie previous year. The quality Is better, tin in I H???ic lnncrnp nml or hetter color and will Ilt'UtC IO v. e~ grade higher than for several yearn. The entire crop will be gathered by the 1st or loth ai of November. & The present epidemic will have no effccl Id whatever upon the cultivating and gathering k! the crop. If any at all It will have a tendenq, cy to make our farmers gather the crop sooner, as they are afraid to come to the towns, and tlsey have nothing else to do but to get er their crops ready for market when one l? d- created for it. g- The effect of the epidemic upou the market!' ing will be to throw it nearly two months later, but this will only be temporary. In >r Memphis and New Orleans, the principal cot18 tod markets, no business is done on account x- of the; fever, and all the small towns that have not the fever fear that they will, hence w.-. -v there Is no market, and will not be until after frost. The epidemic has produced a general demoralization upon general trade;Indeed no one, except doctors, nurses, undertakers and grave-diggers, Is doing anything. This, however, will only bp temporary, and will have the cfl'ect to throw the fall trade back two months. After frost, however, everything will drop into Its usual channels. This will increase rather than diminish the trade. Huntington, Tknn., September 14.?The prospect of the cotton crop in this county is ' above the average, and my information is , that it is throughout West Tennessee. The present condition of the crop could not be better; it is opening up finely. The epidemic will have 110etlect upon the cultivating and gathering of the crop In this immediate vicinity. \Ve arc more than one hundred miles from Memphis and fifty from Browns[ ville. Of course in tlie neighborhood of 1 those and other fever-stricken cities the 1 country is more or less demoralized, and 1 crops will sutler for want of attention. It is , the general opinion anion); merchants of this place that Memphisus a cotton market will ! amount to little or nothing this season, and 1 that most of the patronage In that line will . be diverted to Nashville, Louisville and KasI tern cities. The general prospects of trade r u-iii nnfin mv nnltilon bo materially affected . by the prevailing epidemic; in this county . it will not he aflecteil at all by the fever, i The wholesale trade of Memphis, though, Is . of course for the time beint' destroyed, and , St. Louis, (.'incinnutti, i/oulsvllle and Nashville will be the bcnetlclarles. We are feel Ing the pressure of the time hero to the full. est extent, and scarcity of money is the . universal compliant among the people. j Milan, Tkn.w, September 18.?The pros. pect of the cotton crop In this and udjoining i counties is tolerably good, say 90 pea cent. > The condition is fair, about half opened, and | picking is progressing finely. The epidemic being from forty to ninety miles from us, will [ have littleetrect on gathering. We have been . shipping nearly the whole crop to Memphis and New Orleans heretofore. Now we have . to seek new markets. Eastern buyers would | be safe In coming here to buy, as we do not ! wxpect the fever to reach us. Our section Is i on the high land between the Mississippi and TenueseeUiver, and no kind of epidemic has ever prevailed here. One refugee from Mein[ phis died with fever here about two weeks I since, but no one else has had it. There Is i very little sickness of any kind here. The . general prospect of trade in this town and ; surrounding country Is better than for several r years. Clifton, Tenn., September 17.?Theacrc1 age is less, but the yield will be better than . any year since the war. The prospect Is very good; opening nicely. The epidemic being I confined to cities will have a tendency to i cheapen cotton picking, as thousands of the . lower classes have tied to the country and are . seeking employment. It will not affect the . marketing more than tochange from the eit. les visited by the epidemic to other points. , Trade will not be injured so severely as might be expected. The sufferers are of the nonproducing clement, consequently the South . will put lipun the market us much cotton as I usual, and as a matter of course, will buy her , usual amount. i Daxhkidgk, Ten.w, September 12.?The t prospects of the cotton crop are good.

In the course of his remarks on Thursday last, referred Incidentally to the subject of cduca1 tlon. In answer to the question, In what does education consist? he remarked, in ' substanee, that a man might be able to read Homer and Virgil, or demonstrate a proposition In Kuelld, and still not be educated. 1 This opinion Is undoubtedly correct. Macuulay, In controverting the ipsedirit of Johnson, that where there are no books the mass of the people must be barbarians, refers to the Athenians, whom he represents as one of the most Intelligent and highly educated nations, ' or communities, In ancient or modern times. " And yet it Is certain that they were not educated by means of books. Athens, he says, was "onegreat University," In which Socrates, I'lato, Zeuxls, and others, were profes; sors! This brilliant historian was rather fond of paradox, but, in this Instance he ' gives Incontrovertible facts. And what he ' says of Athens was true, but not to the same extent, of other.States before the art of printing was invented. It would be difficult to convince the Intelligent reader that the Egyptians, with their imperishable tnonu'r meuts of civilization, were a race of barbarians; or that the architects of Solomon's temple were little superior to the American abo' rlgiuecs. It may be safe toassume that the IsL raelltcs were well acquainted with the principles of revealed religion, perhaps more so than the majority of American citizens, Hut ; how did they' acquire this knowledge? We : answer, by tradition, and by hearing the 1 Script arc* read during the three great national festivals at Jerusalem. And It should be ' borne in mind that only a very small por1 tlon of the sacred volume could be read on such occasions. Hut according to the dictum ; of Johnson, the great mass of God's peculiar 1 people mutt have been barbarians ! Compare I the freed men of the South with their ancestors in Africa.

The seeretof their moral and Intellectual advancement is to be sought in their d rily contact toilh a superior nice. There was a process of attrition, or absorption, constantly going on. It Is a common Impression that as I soon as the freedman is able to read a little, or to perform thesimplestoperations in arithmetic, he is educated; Iwhllea favorite servant under the old rruinic, who conversed on most subjects with all the fluency and elegance of his master, but could not read or| write, was only one degree removed from the Bushman or Hottentot! This was precisely the mistake of sonic well-meaning people In the North, who expended an immense amountof gratuitous sympathy on theSouthern slave. Our legislative hnlls have revealed the strange fact that with no better education than this, some of the freedmen have . proved themselves very efficient members, We would not be understood, however, as depreciating the advantages to be derived from reading and study. We merely wish to enter our caveatagalnst the too common notion that there is no educat ion outside of a school or college. If all the books were burned, and the art of printing lost. there wonld still be a vast amount of useful knowledge in the world not derived from this source. That man is well educated, who, in the languageof Milton, is well qualltled to "perform magnanimously all the ollices of peace and war." SERVE TIIEM RIGHT. Train's Mistake. In confirmation of our statement, says the j iVVi/'i and Ouurier, that Attorney-General | 1 Train was defeated for renomlnatlon on account of his ill-advised opinion to Governor ltlce In the Klmpton matter, we publish the I ! letter below from a prominent Boston Barrister, a "young Republican" member of the , Massachusetts State Convention of the Kopub; llcan party, to Attorney-General Youmans. It will be seen from the letter that Governor ; ltlce, as well as Attorney-General Train, lni curred by his course the displeasure of the ; controlling element of his party In Massachusetts: f , Mass., Sept. 20,1878. t Attorney-General Yumnuns: Sm?I'ardon m.v intrusion on your valuable , time without the formality of an introduction ^ or presentation, but I am onlv too anxious to call your attention to the fact that thcKenub" lican Convention at Worcester, on the lbth Instant, expressed their high appreciation of the noble constitutional principles which you enumerated at our State capital, and by a rousing majority defeated Gen.Trulu's renomT ination by the Republican party, and nominated Goerge Marsion, law partner of W. W. Crapo, (present member of Congress) in his ; stead, a deserving rebuke to one who allowed " political and party considerations to transcend the highest constitutional principles. I ' may add, tt>o, that the name of Alexander H. j; Hice was not mentioned, thought of, or even compl linen tartly eulogized, (ns is customary j to a retiring Executive, as a matter of form,) .! another expression of the feeling that existed : toward those who were so blinded with partisan zeal as to forget their own existence, and "sell their birthright for a mess of pottage." I take this Interest in the matter as I was a " delegate to Worcester ut thatConventlon, and , went there with other lawyers for the purpose of etl'ectlng the defeat of Gen. Train's renomination. As a "young Republican," too L I felt it my duty, and as having business , with Charleston attorneys, who have inva' riably exhibited the utmost honor and dignity in their transactions, I felt, and still feel, , that the common weal demands that the.splrit which was exhibited here in June, 1875, toward your visiting soldiers should be kept alive, and all feelings of animosity and party hatred be thrown aside. Pardon my presumption, sir, If I take the liberty toeongrat, ulate you on the success of your able arguj ment and enunciation of principles at our State-House last summer, which has thus ' been expressly appreciated by the llepubll, can party at a Mtate Convention: for, as a delegate,"I am ready to aver that the Klinp' ton decision cost Gen.

Had you confined yourself ei to giving a simple refusal to surrender the fu- |< gitlve, I should make no further comments p upon your letter, as the disregard of the Kx- ? eeutive authority of one St.-.te concerns the whole people of the United .States; but iuas- o much as you have seen tit to base yonr action p oil the ground that In your Judgement the fj object In procuring the indictment against n Patterson, Parker and Kimpton, "does not h appear to be for the purpose of trying Klmp- ,v ton for the crlmecharjjed against him but for a dlfl'crent purpose," it Is my duty, as the |( Governor of Soath Carollnn, to add that your g statement Is entlrley unwarranted, and to re- p pel the unworthy Imputation, as I do with I indignant scorn. v I am your most obedient servant, e Wark Hampton, Governor. r t o Ninety-Sixes. p Cotton Shipments?Up to yesterday morn- t ine 25th instant, 2B5 bales of cotton had been shipped from this point, against05 tosunie i date last year.

MAXIMILIAN ND C ARLOTTA emintscenccs of the Emperor a Empress by the Late Geaeral J. B Magruder. In company with several other Confeder llcers, 1 arrived in the city of Mexico afu urney of some thirteen hundred mile*. Pi pally on horseback, weary and worn,Ul-c id scantily supplied with money: but ept In peace and security for the lint tl r four long years. The relief from the ch id responsibilities which had pressed uj < so Incessantly during the whole of this od was inexpressibly grateful. Our thouij :vertea not to the past nor wandered to ittire. Kepose and tranquility were all iked, lJelng refreshed by a few days of r represented to the principal Confederate uers the propriety ol calling to pay our >ects to the Emperor and Empress. 1 as at once assented to, and having comt lcated our wishes, through the proper cli el, to the Emperor, a day was appointed ii interview. Our nearly worn outunlfoi clng exchanged for the plain dress of An aw citizens, we proceeded to the ancient | ce of the Montc/umas, now renovated i iperbly furnished, and were shown into nte-room to await the summons of tl lajesties. As 1 with many others, had jme familiar with the palace eighteen y< efore, when the American army held pos on of the city, I felt quite ut home h n a Tew minutes an usner in unuoriu upy i and said the Emperor desired to see nx ine. I entered the ball of reception and resented to the Emperor and Empress, i ere standing at the further end of the ro The Emperor seemed to be about 34 y< Id. Tall and commanding In stature, arson was a model of manly beauty and icejdenoted greater strength and flrini nan I had expected from the pliotograpl ad seen of him. The Empress was also nd beautifully formed and graceful in igliest degree. Her dark brown hair png black eye-lashes, veiling lustrous ey? rey, seemed to deepen the melancholy ression of her face. Her features were cl y dellncd ahd classic in the extreme, ras somewhat pale and her complexion vldently injured by exposure to the sun aln, which it was known she disregarded he performance of her duties cither of S r charity. Repose was the predominant iression of her face and form. ONFKDKRATE8 RKCIEVED BY THK EMPK] Seating themselves on a sofa and reqi ngtne to be seated, the Emperor asked m lucstions in relation to the state of affair he United State, the foreign policy of ;overnmcnt and the trade and commerc he country. At length the Empress, vas sitting nearest me, asked if any obst ixisted in the United States to the reco ion of the imperial government. I did vish gravely todiscuss politics with a I particularly as I could give iier nq hope, herefore, treating tlie subject playfully, i iwered in these words: "Yes your Majesty. I will tell you fran here does exist in the United States an tpcle to the recognitlon.of the empire.'' "And what is it?" she asked. "Why your Majesty.it was born of tlroi nit I fear it is now the child of arrogance s also a thing of air, for it is used by the ending political parties in the United St is a shuttle cock, the politicians being performers and the people the spectators, is kept up with surprlslhg skill ni.d p rnclty lest it fall to the ground and the 1< n the game thus displease the uudlence.1 "What can it be?" sheasked again. YourMaJesty.lt is the Monroe doctri ,he shuttlecock of politicians." She comprehended at once. Turning to Emperor she suggested that the usher be nlsxed and that 1 should Introduce my ( patriots, remarking that it would relieve nterviewof the stltfnessand formality wi night be cinbrrrassinp. Bowing my asi [ Urougnt lti my irienusauu pruxuuuru u Utcr a warm reception, Maximilian add I'd ue In the following woMs: ' Gentlemen, you have a great war In ; country. It has been a war of glanu>. vorld has looked upon It aghast. You of iouth have lost, and your misfortunes ar ;reat I hat they make you the brothers o Honorable men throughout the world. 1 brother therefore I receive you. I am gli earn that some of you Intend to rental] Mexico. I welcome you cordially, but i ,wo conditions; First, that you obey sountry's laws, and second, that you will nterfere with politics either domestic or sign. It may seem natural to you th thould receive such war-worn veterans at ire Into military service and thus secure :hrone. But this cannot be. After the i mature rellcctlon, both at Mlramar an Mexlo, I have arrived at the conclui roin which I will never vary, thatnogo\ ment. of whutever form, can exist permat y In .Mexico which falls to win tliet;ood jf the government and people of the Ur Slates. Under present circumstauces \ ipoluinieiits to military positions in ;oiintry would give Just cause of otfens vour government and pcople.and, then must not expect It.

This is the policy of p< This was the policy of my predecessor, will make Mexico rich and prosperoui herself and valuable as a neighbor to Jul ted States, and this can give offen* HOiie." He was quite relieved when ho was Infn d that we had predetermined at Mont lot to enter the military service of either Ly. The Interview beingover we retired, favorably Impressed with the good sense practical views of the imperial rulers of 1 Ico. The country was olmort entirely under control of Mablnilllan at the time of ovr nil In theclty of Mexico. The Imperial tr ivcre victorious everywhere.

Cn.itain Maury the distinguished Lhor of ihe wind and current charta, and nierly of the United States navy, was pointed "Imporlal Astronomer and Comi slonerof Immigration," and General Mt iler "Chief of the Land otlice and Superlr lent of Surveys." The Emperor authoi proclamations to be sent to all countries, rttlng Immigration on the largest scale, propriating money for transportation subsistence, and providing lands for in grants on their arrival. Captain Maury <ued the necessary notices and made arm ncuts for tlio currying the designs of the >rnmcnt Into practical effect. I empl< some hundred surveyors and prep lie lands *'or occupation. Within a nonths thereafter some two hundred nans arrived lu Mexico, and about five 1 lred Americans (some of tliem from S'orth) settled and cultivated lands near lova, in the Terra Tamplada or temporal* {ton, which extends from below Vera C mining piuullel with the Gulf coast rli 0 Texas, commanding the Gulf on the mud and the mountain passes into the i lor of Mexico In theother.

He would have aide riving her a republican form of governr uited to her Interests, She would have oyed roa1 liberty and prosperity, and w lave become either a valuable neighbor t< Jnited Utiles or an integral part of Jn'op. At this time toward the close of the ; sfti, the internal improvements of Me vcre rapidly progressing, and I had se\ ntervlews with their Majesties. They si d never to tire of the subject of the Uii Hates, a.id I think Maximilian had some if visiting this country himself or ofsem 'arlotta to represent Ills views; for, one fter a long conversation In relation to L'nltedStates, the Empress exclaimed, iow I should like to make a tour thr< our country!" And Maximilian said," should like it greatly. l)oyou think, g< .1, that there would be any danger In my ng so ?" 1 was about to say no at first, but then wered quickly: "Yes, your Majesty, the :reat danger In your visiting the Ur flutes,' "What Is it?" he asked, surprised. Why, I replied, "if your Majesty wer dslt the United States there is great da hat with your liberal principles, "you w* ie sent to Congress." He laughed and said emphatically: " iaps a much sadder fate awaits me." Indeed, so thoroughly did Maximilian p ilmself American In policy and sympn hat the United States could not have at ulthful representative of her Interests I laxlmilian himself Envoy Extraordii rom the government of the United Stare laxlmilian, Emperor of Mexico.
