Tho commander of the assaulting forces reports tho loss of half of his men in the assault on Fort Monterey. He says their failure ?W-a* owing to the want of scaling ladders.

Largo numbers : of wounded officers of Escobcdo's army have arrived at Brownsville. Canales and Escobedo had met and embraced each other in tho presonco of Cen. Scdgewick. Fears of an attack upon tho United-States forces while in occupation of Matahioras had led to extensive preparations for their defence, on tho Brownsville si io of the river, from whence the eui ire United States military force would have crossed, had it boon necessary.

Why is it that the proportion of young men in this country who turn ? out badly is so much larger than it | used to be? Every moralist, and, in fact, every close observer, knows that tho proportion of shiftless, good-for nothing young men has largely in? creased within tile List few years, particularly in this and other largo cities, but those who discuss tho sub? ject seem to bo at a loss for the true explantioD. In our judgmeut thc question is one Of very easy solution.. We attribute it to tho spirit of false pride which induces (parents to put j their boys in stores and offices rather Lthan apprentice them, to good trades, j In this city at tho present time, mer I chants, bankers, insurance mon, and others of this class, aro over-run with applications from parents who want situations for their boys; but manu? facturers find it almost impossible to get apprentices. It was not so ia 1 former times. Fifty years ago- I much later, iii fact-parents gene- j rally regarded a trade as something 1 essential in the preparation of .their j boys for thc battle of life. Evou mon J whose circumstances did not require them to do manual work, made it a j point to have their boys learn trades, ! in order to give them practical ideas f about business, to make them in? dustrious, and also to furnish them . something to fall back upon in ease j of adversity. How is jt now? Mo- j chanics and laboring men, even, 1 have too generally imbibed tho idea' that-they ought to place their boys; a peg above tho drudgery of manual : labor. They seem to think that they are not doing justice to them unless they place thom in positions where they can wear "hobby" clothes and keep their bands white. There never j was a greater mistake. Look at the leading mon of our country, from the ; President down, and you will see j that, as a rule, it is the men who j learn trades in their youth who have | become the foremost in every branch j i f progress and enterprise. Tho boy who is placed in a store or office usually gets his head full of vanity and self-conceit before lie has boen long in his position. Ho acquires an inordinate love of dress, and soon becomes so puffed up in bis own esti? mation that practical common sense can find no lodgment in his brain. His aim is to dress as well and live as high as those with whom he comes in contact, and he is quito likely to go from habits of extravagance to habits of dissipation. We do not wish to be understood as saying that that this is the road which all boys travel who do not learn trades. Wo simply say that such is tho tendency, and it requires a boy of good mind, fortified by good, carly training, to resist the temptation. The boy who j is put to a trade, on the other hand, I gives vanity but little chance to got I hold of him. Ho acquires practical I ideas about business; his habits are j moulded by frugality and economy, and he lays the foundation of a good, useful and industrious citizen. Tho lea that manual labor is not "re? spectable," is ono of the most absurd things in this ago of absurdities. No ? person with a thimble-fnil of brains j will say anything of the kind, and ! those silly creatures who do say so j are generally tho degenerate sons of ; hard-working mechanics. Every boy, whether rich or poor, high or low, ought to learn a trade-not that ho should always work at it, but that ho may have it as reserve capital, to- ; gc'her with its influence in forming I Iiis character. -r ? ? ? SEVEN WOMEN TO ONE MAN. Ln ? one of his recent sermons Brigham Young invited tho attention of.his I hearers to the text which says : In j that day seven women shall bike hold ? of ono man, saying, "Wc will cat our: own bread and wear our own apparel, only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach." "Tho: Government of the United States,", the elder continued, "do not intend that prophecy shall be fulfilled, and the Loni Almighty means that it shall." Diplomatic. Correspondence Aboni l?lfiico-TJ?f Altitude of France In the abstract of Mexican diplo? matic correspondence given yester? day, allusion was made to the letter of Mr. Bigelow, of November 8, in which the purpose of the French Emperor not to withdraw the troops j from Mexico until next spring, was j first announced. Minister Bigelow writes that he saw the Emperor upon this subject, and received satisfactory assurances that the postponement was made for purely military rea? sons, for in consideration of the re? cent successes of the dissidents, it would be periling those who remained to reduce the French force by instal? ments. Mr. Bigelow also writes, under this date, emphatically, that there is but one sentiment, in Paris about, the determination of France to wash its hands of Mexico as soon as possible, aud that the Emperor had .told bim that he had advised Maxi? milian to abdicate. Tho last letter in the batch is from Mr. Seward to Mr. Bigelow, dated November 30, in which the Secretary of State takes exception to Napo? leon's action in permitting the troops to remain in Mexico without consult? ing the United States, declaring that the Emperor's decision to modify the existing arrangement, without any understanding with the United States, so as to leave the whole French army in Mexico for the present, instead of withdrawing one detachment in No? vember current, as promised, is now found iu every way inconvenient and exceptionable, wc cannot acquiesce. Mr. Seward the n refes to the de? parture wf Mr. Campbell and Gen. Sherman to Mexico, to arrange with Juarez on subjepts deeply interesting to tho United States and vital t< Mexico. The Secretary shows thal our policy regarding Mexico wai based upon reliance on the antier pated evacuation as agreed upon, am that Mr. Campbell now having gone, it was impossible to re'call him ol modify his instructions with regare to Mexico, which Government will of course, most earnestly desire, an< confidently expect, an early and en tire discontinuation of foreign hos tile occupation. In conclusion, the Secretary o State says: "You will, therefore, stab to the Emperor's Government thai the President sincerely hopes ant expects that the evacuation of Mexi co will be carried into effect wiih sncl conformity to the existing agreemcn as the inopportune complicado] which calls for this 'despatch sha! allow. Mr. Campbell will be advise? of the complication. Instruction will bo issued to the United State military forces of observation to wai in every case special directions fror the President. This will bc don with a confident expectation that tb telegraph or mail may seasonabl bring us a satisfactory rcsolutio from the Emperor, in reply to thi note. You will assure the Frene Government that the United State; while they seek the relief of Mexio desire nothing more earnestly tha to preserve peace and friendship wit France."-Baltimore Sun.

THK SoirrHEBN MA rx SERVICE.:-We are constantly hearing from thc South? ern States of the draw-backs and ? troubles in thc mail service, arising j from thc cnfoicemcnt of the strin? gent test oatk upon all who have anything to do with it. Tho law, as it exists, is not only next to impossi? ble of enforcement, if postal privi? leges ari! to bc granted to the South at all, but, when literally enforced, it is evaded in such ways as make it of no valuable effect. "Here and there," writes one of our Southern corres? pondents, "may bc found a man who neither aided, abetted nor sym? pathized with thc rebellion; but, first or last, from one reason or an? other, it cannot be denied ?that, throughout the South., tho intelli? gence and energy thc whole people went into the war." As nearly the entire Southern people, therefore, are precluded from official duty in connection with tho mails, the "citi? zens of a postal district now either ovado tho law by getting some cripple or aged man to take the oath and the office, and then appoint a 'live mau' as his deputy, or they suficr under the ignorance and inexperience of some person who contrived, during the war, to keep 'between tho lines,' and can now manage to scrape through thc oath." The modification of the test oath provision, so f?r as it ap] ?lies to small official duties and small civic positions of this kind, is besought by Northern as well as by Southern in? terests. lt may bc doubted whether, oven if the constitutional amendment were adopted, the third section would be construed so as to apply to cases of this kind, or whether, in accord? ance with the terms of the third sec? tion itself, Congress would not re? move from this class tho general disability imposed.

STRANGE ST?RT or A POLANDER. ?* A Polander, whose hfe has been a series of misfortunes, bas just arriv?e at Paris, under tho following cir cumstances: In 1830. he was exil?e to Siberia for political crimes, iron whence he escaped to Montreal, ar riving there in complete poverty After eight years of miserable liii there he sailed to Brazil, and wont t< work in the diamond mines, ann fron Brazil to California, whore in a shor time he collected a small fortune it gold. In 1863-, he returned to Europe and joined in the struggle for bi country's independence. He wa again captured and transporte-1 io: lifo to Nevtehin.sk in tho North o Siberia. 'In 1865, he found in tho K < of a river masses of melted quart mixed with iron ore. His Braziliai and California experience now cam in play, and prosecuting his scare I he discovered and secured diamond to the value of ?40,000, and near th close of summer he found ono larg diamond, weighing 75 carats an worth, had it proved perfect, at lea. $250,000. He resolved to make hi escape if possible, through th Chinese Empire.

THE NF.XT DELUGE.-A Frone work, recently published, maintaii that, ?;vory 10,500 years, tho wate: of the sea pass from ono pole to tl other, submerging and overwhelm ing, in their passage, tho earth ai: all its inhabitants. According to tl author of this theory, M. Paid Joi vencel, the last of these deluges o curred 4,500 years ago; the next ot is duo in 6,000 years moro. M. Jo: vencel re-counts this groat cosmic drama with the vigor and pictori effect of an eye-witness. Six thoi sane! years-sixty centuries-thei only, aro left to us wherein to do oi whole world's work, and to eomple and perfect tho civilization which h yet hardly dawned on the great number of Ililli I kind!

THE COTTON FBAUT>S.- Tho Wash? ington correspondent of tho New York Tribune gives the following: Tho Congressional Committee on Retrenchment, which has been in session in thia city examining wit? nesses, itc, for several days past in? vestigating the cotton frauds in the Southern States, adjourned yester? day, to meet again on Friday. It ap? pears that the frauds are more exten? sive than even the most credulous imagined. Tho sessions of the Com? mittee, and their nets, are secret, but it lias transpired that cottoi , to tho value of somewhere in the neighbor? hood of $300,000,000 has been seized by the Government, and that proba? bly not to exceed a ienth of the amount realized luis accrued to the Government. At Nev Orleans, in one transaction, out of about 10,000 or 12,000 bales of cotton seized, tho Government got only about 1,200 bales. One of the modes of t .vi idling j the Government was to present forged certificates or oaths ->f owner- ' ship after the cotton bad been seized, and the Treasury agent would release tho cotton thus claimed, or turn over the proceeds from its sale under authority of tho Treasury regulations. : A great majority of the swindles were { made in this manner. The Commit- i tee will doubtless insist that, having j once taken possession of the cotton, | the Treasury Department had no au- ! thority to relinquish it unless claims arising therefrom were regularly ad? judicated by tho courts. The Go- j vcrnnient is not likely to find this cotton speculation a paying business, as the amount realized, after all claims have subsided, will be eaten up by the expenses incurred in a seizure, rentation, sale and liquida? tion. . PROPOSED REMEDY ron IRELAND. "An ex-Irish landlord and tenant," who ridicules Mr. Bright's Utopian scheme of wishing English absentees to sell their estates, says that what Ireland wants is an act to empower proprietors and corporations, tied up by entails and family settlements, to grant adequate leases, say nineteen years, when the landlord builds; thirty-one years when tho tenant does so; and then let the landlord and tenant make their own bargains. He thinks leases ought to be granted in Leinster, Munster and Connaught; the Ulster people being content with thc custom of their province, which, however, does not prevent the land? lord getting tlie Value ot his laud, w hich, though inferior in quality, lets higher than in the other provinces. In conclusion, he remarks: "Irish landlords cannot be charged w$th overletting, the rents being about I half those of the East of England and Scotland, while they have not raised them (except inrthe case of the new proprietors, and in the Encum? bered Estates Court,) though beef, pork and butter are nearly double what they were twenty years ago."
