News from tlio United Stalrx.
okdek from president lincoln in regard to
the treatment of black troop.'4. ijv the
. confederate government.
The most important feature of the news from
the North is the following official proclamation
) from President Lincoln, declaring protection to
1 "contracted" troops, and threatening retaliation:
1 Executive Mansion, )
Washington, July 30, 1803. )
It is the duty of every government to give
" protection to its citizens, of whatever class,
, color or condition, and especially to those who
are duly organized as soldiers in the public
service. The law ot nations and the usages
and customs of war, as carried off by civilized
powers, permit no distinction as to color in
treatment of prisoners of war as public enemies,
To sell or enslave any captured person, on account
HI' bis color, and for no offence against
- laws of war is a relapse into barbarism, and a
crime against the civilization of the age. The
Government of the United States will give the
same protection to all its soldiers, and, if the
enemy shall sell or enslave any one because ol
his color, the offences shall be punished by re
( taliation upon the enemy's prisoner in out
, possession.
It is therefore ordered, that soidicrs of the
United States, killed in violation of the laws
of war, a rebel soldier shall be executed, and
, lbr every one enslaved by the enemy, or sold
s into slavery, a rebel soldier shall be placed at
hard labor on the public works, and continued
at such labor until the other shall be released,
and received the treatment due to prisoners oi

Mexico.? Permanency of Fkkxcii Occupation.?The
French occupation of Mexico
will last as long as will be necessary to assure
forever in that country the opperation of an
honest and regular Government. The pimple
> themselves would eventually be called upon to
decide. In eveiy case Franco would take possession
of So no ro, and would establish in one
oil*the ports of that region a French military
stat ion for the protection of her commerce and
^ of such Frenchmen as might go there to reside,
i We understand that already the Government
is calling the attention of capitalists to liumcr
ous sources of wealth to be explored in that
magnificent country. This appeal to industry;
j and the sending ot' troops and munitions that
i arc being got ready in our arsenals and ports
are of a nature, to lead to the belief that tTic
Government expects to be installed at Mexico
for quite, a long time.?La Nation of Paris
- An Important Capture.?It seems tbattbc
? ('apt. l'aine who, with bis boat's crew was captured
on Tuesday night, is a scout of some note
and dash amongst the enemy. The New
York JferuhVs correspondent thus notices hit
? services:
I "It is not improper now to mention the dis"
j tinguisbed services of one ot the most skillful
? scouts our army affords?Capt. L. S. Paine ot
the 100th New York, lie scouted all around
Morris Island before we took it, and landed in
several places. He seems to have a faculty 01
knowing just where all pickets and troops arc,
. and his life is evidently charmed, for he has:
'* been fired on many times at vcrv short ran</e,

Frkderickshuiig, August 8.?The citizens
of Stafford report the enemy in considerable
force about five miles from the river; but no
signs of them can be seen from this town.

3 Gordonsville, August 8.?A gentlemen
* just from Brandy Station says that a force ol
, the enemy had come four miles beyond Bran^
dy, from the direction of the Rappahannock
bridge, and were destroying everything. Theii
? force is supposed to consist of three regiments
of cavalry and eight of infantry.
Important from the West. 1
Morton, Augusts.?Col. Matt Johnson sunk
one transport and disabled two others opposite
Greenville last Tuesday. Since that time ho a:
has caused to turn back soine twelve steam- L
boats laden with Merchandise. Gunboats s<
, came up and shelled the woods furiously for 15
miles without doing any damage. This will v
cause numbers of light artillery to he organized h
at once for the same purpose, and a few weeks k
will see the Mississippi more effectually block- li
aded than ever. \
, Atlanta, August 8.?A private telegram ^
lias been received from Jackson, Mississippi,
. showing the telegraphic communication has 11
been reopened with that place. x
A speeiat despatch to the Appeal, dated
Brandon, August Gth, says Ransom's Division
of Grant's army, with seven inusquito gunboats, 1
descended the Mississippi, and opened the
Bayous in West Louisiana. A heavy Yankee 1
force ascended the St. Charles River in search P
of our force in Arkansas. Dunt (?)a brotherin-law
and partner of Grant, was captured near
Lake Providence, La., by Col. Mat. F. Johnson's
guerillas. The Confederates recaptured
several thousand slaves with Dunt. The Yan- "
kee force is motionless 011 the Big Black, ex- ^
cept the expedition to West Louisiana. ^
; Chattanooga^ August 8.?One hundred j
and ten Yankee cavalry, including two com- ^
missioned officers, captured by Rifles at Union ^
City, West Tennesee, arrived here this niorl
ning.

[ From llie West.
Mobilk, Aug. 10.?Persons lately out from ^
Vieksburg report that Grant has gone to supercede
Meade. Gen. McPherson takes Grant's
- place. Gen. A. J. Smith is in command of the 1
Post of Vieksburg. r
I
Morton, Aug. 9.?Col. Logan is again at
1 work. A few days since lie attacked the cue- j
! my, 700 strong, near Jackson, East Louisiana,
' routed them completely, killing a large number
j and capturing '200 prisoners and two pieces of 11
artillery. This is official. c
Morton, Aug. 10.?There is no news of in!
... fj
tcrcst in front. Sherman's quarters are near
Osterhaus' old quarters, about two miles from '
the Big Black bridge. Two divisions have been 1
t
moved back to^tlic Big Black to avoid the
contagion which still exist to a frightful extent
' in Steel's division. His pickctts are this side
of the Big Black but none venture more than
> . . n
three miles from the river. Accounts come ^
j in daily of the atrocities of the enemy. One
' 1 Mrs. Sanderson, of Natchez, has been hung by '
i the cueiuy because she refused to disclose the
I whereabouts of her husband. The Post office
' ! 1'
I lias been opened at Jackson.
t
, J Atlanta, Aug. 19.? A special.to the Ap- ^
| peal from Brandon, of tlie 8th, says Logan enj
I countered at Jackson, La., live hundred mi
fantrv and 200 cavalry with two pieces of ar- c]
: tillerv. lie killed and wounded a number and f
I ! captured the artillery, 200 Yankees, and two f(
commissary wagons. (]

i Grant Reinforcing Meade.?There is no n
fj longer a doubt but tliat General Grant, imrac- h
, j diately after the surrender of Yicksburg, rein- c
i forced General Meade to the extent of 15,000
, to 20,000 troops. The troops were sent on
board transports at Vicksburg two days after a
its fall, and arrived in the Chcsepeakc about a s]
fortnight since. The Fifth United States Ar- v
tillery, batteries E and B, the lGtli Pennsyl- d
> vania, and the 32d Massachusetts infantry ac- d
5 companying the reinforcing column, which o
I was under the command of General Smith and C
| Kelley.
f Appointment.?The Petersburg Express ft
states that Gen. Hood, of Texas, has been ap- &
: pointed commander-in-chief af all the cavalry tl
in the army of Northern Virginia, and that tl
i Generals Stuart and Wade Hampton will rank c
as Major-Gcncrals under him. C
\ a
rite New Emperor of the Mew Empire.
Who is Maximilian? is a question frequently
sked. Wc suppose him to be a scion of the
ouaparte family, in which there arc two perils
of that name, grandchildren of Eugene
leauharnais and his wife, the Princess of Baaria.
Eugene was a child of Josephine by
er first marriage, and a great favorite of the
Imperor Napoleon, who, in 18C6, adopted
itn as his son.?He was subsequently appointed
ieeroy of Italy, and married the Princess of
lavaria. In 1817 he had a son, called Maxnilian,
who entered the service of Russia, and
1 1839 married t^c Grand Duchess Maria
ucolaiwena, daughter of the.Fmperor Nichols.
By this lady he has had several children
wo of whom are sons?one, Prince Nicholas
laximilian, in 1841, and Eugene Maximilian^
orn in 1847. Is the Emperor of Mexico the
Ider of the two? There is none of the Bonaarte
blood in their veins; but they are so allied
? that family as to be Considered a part of it.
'he choice of such a person would be evidently
stroke of policy. It associates with the
'rendi dynasty the grandson of one of the
lost, distinguished monarch* that, have oeenmed
lie Russian throne, and it would serve to add
istinction and power to it. The present
Ycnch Emperor has adopted the wisdom of
is uncle for his own guidance, and one part of
hat we know was to strengthen his position'
brough every ramification of family ties.
The French in Hlcxictir.
Richmond, August 7.?General Foray's despatch
to the French Minister of War, Jnne
Oth, says :
"I have just entered the City of Mexico at
lie head of the array. The whole population
eceivcd the array with an enthusiasm which
(ordered on delirium. The soldiers of France
re re literally crushed under showers of garands
and boqucts.
"I have hcen present with all the officers of
ny staff at the Te Deum in the Magnificent
athedral of this capital, followed by an iranense
crowd, with cries of" VivcVEmpereur !"
fhis population is strongly desirous of order,
ustice and liberty. In ray reply to their rcpcscntations,
I have promised them these in
he name of the Emperor."
