iQ-jr Tolegrapli. From Mexico. WASHINGTON, Jan dary li.-Official intel? ligence from the city of Chihuahua to thc Sth December, has been received in this city. Juarez, instead of being at San An? tonio, Texas, as has been reported, was resting quietly at Chihuahua. He writes to a friend of his as follows: "The com? manding officers of these States-tho fron? tier States-and political loaders, have all expressed their approval of the extension of my term, and 1 have reason to believe that the same will happen in other States of the Republic." The French, it seems, bad sent another expedition to Chihuahua. Should this be iu great foree, tho Mexican Government (Republican) will* again abandon that city, and go to some other convenient point of the Republic._ Congress Ional. WASHINGTON, January 18.-In thc Senate, Nesmith, of Oregon, made a speech ad? vocating a generous policy towards me South. Wade, of Ohio, followed at length, endorsing the theory of equal rights of all men before the law. The House was engaged all nay in thc discussion of the bill of free suffrage in tho District of Columbia. The bill linally passed, giving the elective franchise to negroes in the District without qualifica? tion, by a vote of HG to 50. HEAD-DRESSES-THE LATEST PARI? STYLES.-At present, more head? dresses are worn in Paris than any other description. By these are meant such things tis rows of small curls, which are attached to a comb ano then fastened across the forehead, and sometimes eveu all round th? head. Occasionally, a scaffolding oi these small curls, powdered witt gold, is to bo seen. Then bunches of long ringlets are prepared with i comb in the same manner, and fas tened at the back of the hoad; th? false plaits and twists are extremely thick, and these are pinned aro une the head to form a bandeaux. As al fashions are but fleeting, few ladie: care to submit to have their fron hair cut so as to be able to wear tin short frizzed curls so much in vogue consequently, with? few exceptions every one submits to wear thosi already prepared, and mounted oi either combs or ribbon bandalets. The following description of a fev of the new styles may interest on lady readers: In the Diana head-dress, the hal is entwined as a French t frist, an< arranged across the forehead. Smal smooth bands of hair are combed a intervals over the coronet. Smal curls are worn around the face, an< gold crescents, enriched with preciou stones, are fastened on the corone and between the bands of hair. Th back hair is t rranged in thick plaits looped up with a gold comb and white feather at the side, arranged ti fall low on the shoulder. The Empire head-dress consists o a coronet of short curls across th forehead, the curls being divided i: the centre by a band of velvet, wit' interlaced lines of either silver or gol thread upon it; a branch of barberrie with silver foliage at the side. Curl piuned across the back of the heat] and fastened at the top with a gol and enamel comb. There is another style, rather moi simple, in which the hair is turne back from the forehead over a sma frizette, and is kept in its place wit a thick gold con?, which is carrie twice round the head, and then tie at the sides in graceful bows. Tl hair is arranged at the back with thick plait. A Western contemporary inf om the public that "the conjoint an constant co-operation of all tl dynamic forces is essential to a health social growth." The mass of reade: will be edified by hearing that such the case. We trust that the "dynam forces" will render themselves as ha monious and agreeable as possibl It is a gratifying tribute to the gen< ral intelligence when such a phraseol gy can be exploded in a prairie new paper, with the certainty that ?its si; nificance will be universally appr ciated.

Under date of October 21, while th'e Shenandoah was still carrying on her depredations, Minister Adams wrote to Earl Russell a long commu? nication, in which he reviews the facts concerning thc equipping and sending to sea of this vessel, and makes use of some firm and explicit language. On the 8th of October, 1864, he informs us, the Sea King set sail from London, with a British crew, and having reached a point near the island of Madeira, was for? mally transferred to a rebel agent, and took the name of the Shenan? doah. A considerable portion of this crew consisted of the very same persons who had previously been rescued from the waves by British intervention ai the moment when they had surren? dered from the sinking Alabama. These buccaneers were thus, it ap I pears, sxieeored and provided for ir England until a new cruft could bc j fitted out for him. On the day aftei I the Sea King left London, the Laure j departed from Liverpool, laden witt I arms of every kind, which were trans ferr ed to the former at sea, when i was turned over to a rebel agent Minister Adams further complain: that after this "nefarious project" hue been consummated, her Majesty's Go vemmeut, instead of taking promp measures to denounce the transac tion, and refusing to give it tin smallest countenance in any Britisl pert, deliberately proceeded to nccep the results as legitimate, and ti direct that this vessel, so constituted should bc from that moment entitle* to all the privileges which an hones belligerent claims or any vessel of th United States would enjoy. He further says, the results of thi most unfortunate construction of in ternatfonal law, by which success i committing the fraud was made th only test to purge it of its offensiv nature, have been manifested in th manner in which the Shenandoah wa received wherever it went in the Br tish dependencies. The supplies thor obtained, nuder one pretence i another, particularly in the reniot parts of Australia, enabled this voss< to keep ihe seas, and to continue lu depredations, long after she had bee stripped of the last shadow of tl character with which her Majesty Government voluntarily chose, to ii vest her at the outset. . This enterprise appears to ha\ been the last of a series inaugurate in London by rebel agents, who wei thus en ibled, by means of Britts protection and assistance, to opera more effectually against the Feder authorities than if they had been 1 cated ut Richmond. So far as tl naval branch of warfare is concerne tile n?al bureau was fixed atLiverpoc and not in the United States. Tl vessels were constructed or purchase the seamen enlisted, the ?rmame: obtained, the supplies of every kii procured, the cruises projected, ai the officers and men regularly paid England. In other words, all the? w made on the ocean was from Englai as the starting-point. History do no*- furnish a case of more flagra and systematic abuse of the neutrali of a country by a belligerent, kept i for an equal length of time. Mr. Adams continues: In consei ing to receive this vessel, (the SI: nandoah,) after the fact of its ille< origin and outfit had been satisfocl rily established, I cannot resist t conviction that her Majesty's Govei mont assumed a responsibility for the damage which it has done, n which, down to the latest account, was still doing, to the peaceful co moree of the United States on t ocean. This communication was replied at length by Earl Clarendon, Ri sell's successor, who cites precede] attempting to show, as did his p decessor on a previous occasion, tl the United States pursued an oxac similar course toward Portugal, wh the South American Republics volted. Minister Adams rejoined, on 1 same day he received Clarendo letter, with a lengthy stateme wherein he shows that there was parallel between the two eases, a plainly gives England to understa that Ihe United States will not oblivious of her failure to award j tice in this matter of depredath upon American commerce. Hath iu a subsequent note, informs li Clarendon that the proposition of '. Majesty's (lo vern ment for the cn ing of a joint commission is respe fully declined. The latter, a few d afterward, replied that no good co come from prolonging the eonl versy, adding: "It is 1113' duty, in closing this < respondence, to observe that no arr vessel departed, during the war, fi a British port, to cruise against commerce of tho U'^ted States, 1 to maintain that throughout all difficulties of the civil war, by wi the United States have lately b distracted, but in thc terminatior. which no nation rejoices more 1 dially than Great Britain, the Bri Government have steadily and hon ly discharged nil the duties inc bent on them as tv neutral power, have never deviated from the ob] tions imposed on them by inte t ional law." A lady of Baltimore was asked other day why she chose to lr single life. She kuaively rep] "Because I am not able to suppc husband." ?I TT li i IIT??HI gg H M.T?' Exciting frew? from Ireland. There waa a report a few days since, i.hat a collision had occurred between H body of Fenians in Ireland and a detachment of British troops and constabulary. The statement, con? veyed through some mysterious chan? nel, was not generally credited; but it created intense excitement in Fe? nian circles, and the further an? nouncement that the British had been defeated was received with rapture, as an augury of future triumph for the cause of Irish free? dom. We supposed at the time that tho friends of that cause were build? ing a hope too freely upon the foundation of a vague rumor, but the news brought by the Scotia im? plies that that rumor may but have i pointed to the shadow of coming events. It is evident that something has occurred to disturb the repose of the British lion, and possibly the soil of the Green Isle may soon be dedicated to armed revolution by blood shed in the first battle of the Fenian war. Thc Liverpool Post, of the 20th ultimo, says: "Two regiments have been sud? denly sent ol! to Ireland, one from Manchester, the other from Chester. I The Manchester regiment, 1,200 strong,! wns aroused at 3 o'clock iu the morning, and by 8 o'clock they I were cn route for Liverpool, whence ! they were to embark .at G o'clock. Seven officers, absent on leave, were ordered by telegraph to report themselves at Clarence Dock by 5 o'clock yesterday evening. Our infor? mation is, that the Chester regiment was ordered with equal bast?? for Dublin, via Holyhead. Movements j such as these will create a deal of un I easiness, and they must indicate j either a serious danger or remarkable I credulity on the part of the authori? ties. No doubt the troops which j have been sent are Englishmen. For I the last few days there have been statements made as to certain very extensive designs being entertained i by thc Dublin Fenians, and these i have been supported by the measures : taken by the authorities. Agitation I has prevailed at Limerick, fostered by the hasty transfer of troops from place to place." The conduct of the Government hud produced the wildest excitement throughout Ireland. The police had been strengthened and doubly armed. 1 Patrols of cavalry were parading the streets of Dublin and the public roads. The batteries on the coast had been doubly manned. Large rein I forcements of troops had been brought over from various parts of England, and the ships-of-war in the Irish harbors were held in readiness for instant action. . It is a matter of doubt whether all these preparations were caused by ? actual danger or mere exaggerated apprehensions of the British Govern? ment. The London Times, in an ?ditorial on Mexican affairs, argues that Na? poleon will peaceably withdraw sooner or later, and urges America, for the interest of all concerned, to quietly await the result, and abstain from inconsiderate expressions on the subject. The Daily News points out the ab? sorption of American stocks through? out Europe has lately been more extensive than ever before known, and says this is one cause of the depreciation of English securities. Sir Charles Eastlake, President of the Boy Academy, is dead. It is sa-d that Maximilian is omit? ted from the Catholic Sovereigns to whom the Pope sends customary Christmas felicitations. A Washington despatch of January 14 says, with reference to die recent despatch to the Mobile Advertiser, touching the withdrawal of troops from Alabama and Georgia, that in acting upon the application of Go? vernor Parsons, of Alabama, for withdrawing the troops and for arm? ing the local militia of the State, Gen. Grant has made the following report: "For the present, and until there is full security for equitably maintaining the rights and safety of all classes of citizens in the States lately in rebellion, I would not re? commend the withdrawal of United States troops from thence. The number of interior garrisons might be reduced, but a movable force sufficient to insure tranquility should be retained. While such a force is retained in the South, I doubt the propriety of putting arms in the hands of the militia." ANOTHER NEW YOBK DEFALCATION. The business community was shocked yesterday by the report that Mr. Charles H. Carr, who had been en? gaged in brokerage transactions for many years past, at No. 30 Broad street, had absconded to Europe, having previously drawn from the bank a sum of seventeen thousand dollars, the property of the firm of which he was a member. The firm suspended payment yesterday morn? ing, but it is stated that the interrup? tion of business will only be tempo? rary, the loss sustained afl'ectiug none but Carr's partners. Rumors found credence that Mr. Carr had fled to Europe and forsaken his wife and family, for the parp?se of joining a young actress, who left the country a few days previous, but as yet these stories reston no positive foundation.

The gold receipts at the ports of New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore during tho first half of the fiscal year ending December 31, 1865, amount to seventy-seven million five hundred and seven thousand seven hundred and seventy-five dollars and forty cents. The Southern States have paid into the Treasury during the lust year revenue from direct tax amount? ing to eight hundred and fifty-three thousand one hundred and sixty-nine dollars and forty-three cents. There remains to be paid in five million one hundred and fifty-three thousand nine hundred and eighty-four dollars and thirty-eight cents. A new counterfeit on the fifty cent fractional currency has been detected by the chief detective of thc Treasury Department. All the old fractional currency rs to be called in. The joint committee on reconstruc? tion had another long session to-day. The proposition to scud a sub-com? mittee on an investigating tour through the Southern States met with disfavor. In its place a resolu? tion was adopted to call upon the Senate and House for authority for the committee to send for persons and papers. Several gentlemen have offered to appear and testify to the condition of things in the South. The House Military Committee, at their meeting to-day, agreed to re? port the bill to revive the grade of general in the anny. I WHAT MAXIMILIAN THINKS.-The j correspondent of the New York \ Herald gives the following account of j a conversation that Maximilian re I cently had with a Yankee, who en? gaged in business in Mexico, caine in collision with the Government, and applied to tin- Emperor in person. Thc Emperor said he wished for nothing more than to make the ac? quaintance of President Johnson and Secretory Seward. "1 am convinced," said he. "that after a frank and ; honest conversation, we should part 'friends. Nomone desires more than ; I to have your Government a good j neighbor. No one would reap a better harvest from the seed which I I have sown than your nation. I re? gret nothing more than that, in my former position as admiral of the Austrian fleed, 1 could not carry out my favorite projects - to visit the United States; for 1 love the Ameri? cans and admire their practical talent. In all my works at Pola, Trieste and Venice, 1 employed Americans, and I regret that 1 should not now, in my difficult task, have the support of your nation. Your countrymen, to be sure, are hostile to my Govern? ment, because I was obliged to bring with me an army of invasion. But was it possible otherwise? My pre? decessor, Juarez, left me nothing but ruins and a divided nation. 1 was obliged to lay a firm foundation, that the edifice might not be overturned by the first storm. I have enough material in my people to give my young Slate that security which it so much needs; but then your people must not intervene to disturb a peace fid neighbor. Your nation is too' strong to have the least fear of so young a neighbor." LOANS TO SOUTHERN PLANTERS. - We attempted in our last issue to show how important it is to tin; whole country, to the North as well as to the South, that the planting interests of tin- Southern State; shall be promptly re-organized, and every energy directed to the production of cotton, tobacco, rice and sugar. We also attempted to show that the diffi? culties under which the Southern planters labor are two: First, the want of money; and, second, the Freedmen's Bureau; and that the first and chief difficulty could be removed only through the action of Northern ! capitalista. We also tried to prove that no beneficial result could be pro? duced by the investment of Northern capital in Southern lands, but only by the loan of such capital to expe? rienced and skillful planters, who are thoroughly acquainted with the capa? bilities of their lands, and with the labor and details of planting. Since writing that article, we have had an interview with Doctor Samuel Bard, late Superintendent of Public Education of the State cf Louisiana, and learn from him that he has been spending some time in the North en? deavoring to impress upon the lead? ing capitalists ol' this and other cities the opinions that we have expressed above; and that he entertains good hopes of the accomplishment of his purpose. Those wno desire more detailed information on the subject, may find him for a few day? at the office of thc Southern Land and Pro? duct Company, No. 61 Broadway. . [New Vorl.- News. \Z(h.
