Hut will it he said that Maximilian dooa
not occupy tho whole of Mexico7 It ia

jection. Mexico contains 712.8S0 aquare
RiimiVtn nd w“ po l mlatio| i of »bout
K,000,000—about obo man, therefore to
every sqoaro mile. When it ia further
more remembered how impassable for
largo armies a great part of tho country is
it will bo Been why the Kmporor prefers
to concentrate his troops in a few places
ol Importance, rather than scatter them in
mountain fastnesses, more difficult of ac
cess to their friends, the quartermaster
’and commissary, than to thoir deadly foes
the lurking brigands of tho Sierra. '
No! Maximilian and his able advisers
know perloctly woll what they are about
They are masters of the situation: and
tho .Liberals will inevitably work out
their own Uestiuction ifthey are lotalono.
Look at their soige of Matamoras. For
mdmlis they have kept a hundred crew
of marauders lurking in tho vicinity of
that city, harassing and preying upon tho
people ot substance, ovor ths State of
Tumaulipns. This, in their military vo
cahUlary, is called a siege.
As to their lying bulletins, and an.
nouncemouts of brilliant victories over
tho French, there is no olid to them
Here no ono pays tho slightest attention
to them I and I am surprised that the
shrewd peoplo of the North should he
gulled by them.
The Emperor has recently issued two
important decrees—one of them oxtond-
ing (from Nov. 29) tho time in which the
Republican soldiers, laying down thoir
arms, wore lu he granted amnosty ; and
tho other, ordering a draft of soldiers
throughout Mexico. Immigrants are ar
riving in largo numbors from ovory
quarter of the globe; a cheering indica
tion nnd prooi of the confidence abroad
in tho stability and security of Maximil
ian's government.
My letter is getting somewhat long, and
f et 1 must leave a good deal unsaid. But
must not forget to toil you that the so-
called Liberals have gone to quarroling
among themselves. Another Richmond
now appears in the field, in the form of a
rival President to Juarez. The new
claimant is Gonzaloz Ortega, whoso
friends protest loudly, and with all their
plight, that Juarez,according to tile Mex
ican constitution, is no longer President;
that Ortega is now tbo only President of
tho Republic. In holding power, alter
his term of office has expired, Juarez,
they say, is a usurper; and they proclaim
him such, and appeal to all Mexicans,and
friendly syinpathizersand well-wishers of
tho Liberal cause in Mexico, to throw oil'
J uaroz, and give their support to the con
stitutional President, Gonzalez Ortega.
This new imbroglio will only hasten the
final downfall and dispersion, or annihila
tion, of tho whole tribe of malcontents,
and therefore is rathor welcomed here
than regretted.
This is the day of trial for Mexico. If
she can weather the present storm; if
Maximilian prove himself a wise, concil
iatory, as well as firm sovereign (tho Haps-
burgs have never been deemed deficientin
the falter quality!; if Franco will continue
hor present policy, quietly awaiting the
solution ol the problem; if the United
Statos will see tho much greater advan
tage that must accrue to her in having a

re Is of a sot of brigands, such as she has
bad to deal with hitherto on tho southorn
bank of the Rio Grande; if Moxico shall
bo permitted to develop her immense re
sources in mining, in grazing, in the cul
ture of cotton, and in a thousand other
products of commercial importance—6ho
may yet take her place in the foremost
rank among the civilized nations of the
earth. Tho Emperor is a man of enlarged
views, and is resolved, if possible, to make
Mexico a great State and her people a
groat nation. That he has undertaken a
most herculean task, I will not deny.—
There is ver}- much to thwart him and
bring to nought his best laid plans and
most beneficent designs. The people are
ignorant and superstitious, and, from long
misrulo, impatient ol all control.
The priosthood is corrupt, and the ma
jority of -them, perhaps, entirely unwor
thy to fill the sacred offico they hold.
They wield a largo influence with tho
people; and as they do not consider the
establishruoht of tho Empire to their in
terest, of course they work against Maxi
milian. Then thero aro those firebrands
—the leaders of tho Liberal party and
adherents—who, in their selfish ambition,
hre ready to sacrifice their country for the
moro chance of a little brief authority.
They aro obstinately blind, and will not
see tho inexorable logic of events. An
empty treasury, and a heavy debt, with
thoir necessary concomitants of large
tax''* n n d heavy customs duties, is another
of the diliicultios of tbo Imperial Govern
ment.
Still, numerous as aro these drawbacks,
1 do not consider them insurmountable ;
and, again I repeat, if Maximilian is tho
man for the place, I feel sure that a glori
ous destiny is awaiting Moxico, and that
the Emperor Iturbide, Maximilian’s legi
timate successor, may yet bo numbored
among the proudest sovereigns of tho
globe. LEBER.
Five Men Suffocated to Death,
A day or two ago wo gave a briof ac
count of a dreadful affair which occurred
in Chicago on Saturday night. Tho de
tails arii given in tho Daily Rost, as fol
lows :
At No. 187 VVost Lako street, a man
named H. C. Sohlo keops one of those
low saloons and boarding-houses that are
to be found in all par s oi the city. This
place is principally occupied by German
working men, who are packed into a small,
close, (jonfinud rooms; as thickly as her-
Yings 1h a barrel. The wonder is that men
can jive under such frightful eircum-
stancos. The rdorti in which the tfagedy
of which wo are speaking occurred is a
small apartment situated iu tho back part
of the house, is about fourteen foot square,
with a low, black coiling, and contains
four beds, for tho accommodation of eight
persons. At nYar midnight «n Baturday,
men ontorod the den, ior tho purpose
of passing th'h They slept; and it
w'ftsnruit l ‘MotTg. deep sleep which knows
no waking." On Sundiiy morning, at tho
ordinary liroskfast hour, tbo parson, oc
cupying tbo room did not oomo to tbo
tuuul MS usual, anil, thinking that thoy
were ovorslooping themselves, tho proprie
tor woqttu arouse thorn.
Ho knocked at the door several times,
but roemyipg no ,»o»wer l h, became
alarmed, and finally burst open iho door.
What a horrible sight was there 1 The
raotn was filled with poisonous air, and so
overpowering was th, stench, that for a
time tho room could not bo entered. As
the fresb air entered it, however, and the
poisonous air o-caped, it soon was safe to
go In Several persons then entered, nnd
on tho low, dirty beds the six men wore
(bund lying—five of them dead, end the

About Marry'lug.
Matiumony is as prevalent ns measles
ond whooping cough, and seems to bo
twioe as contagious. Cupid, though a
youth of doubtful patoruity, was yot bo-
lievod by well informed anoients to have
been the sou of Maks, the god of War,
and wo ore disposed to believe it, for as
soon ns Mars finished his campaign, Cu-
PIU commenced liis, nnd 1ms been prose
cuting it with grout vigor ever since.—
Ai this present tiino, wo soarcely know
any one whoeitlior lius not vory recently
murried, or very shortly intends to do so.
And thoBO who have not married, and
did not intend to do so, huve died, nnd
thereby given occasion for sides. Mar
riages and sules aro therefore the order
of tho day, and though separately con
ducted, uro very often considered as
syuonymous terms; indeed, you will often
hear crusty old buoholors, so from ne
cessity, und not choice, cliuracterizo
wodlock as a sell, and its participants as
being thoroughly sold. Hut we nro not
disposed to take this view of the matter,
unless the mutch be n morconary one,
and thon tho resemblance to n sale is
soinowlmt strikiug, as overy one must
admit.
During tbo war, for various causes,
the principal of which wus tho difficulty
of living, matrimonial ulliances somowlmt
fell off. It is a remarkable fact, which
has been noticod and commented upon
by political ooonomists, that whore a
man's utmost efforts uro not sufficient to
support himsolf, lie is uot likely to saddle
himself with a wife. Here is a case,
then, where lovo yields to common souse,
and is one of tho few instances where it
does ; for if thero is a proposition sus-
eoptible of complete demonstration, it is
the assertion tliut lovo makes a fool of
its victims. And tho wisor a man is, the
lurgeris the fool which is made of him.
Sir Isaac Newton, Swedenborg, Sir
Humphrey Davy, and uiuny othergreut
men, have boon also tho greatest ot fools
when under the influence of tho tonder
passion. Wo know many men in this
city who exhibited great wisdom and sa
gacity in all tbo afiuirs of life, uulil in
volved in love transactions: then they
made asses of themselves.
There is one consideration to be kept
in view in any discussion of this matri
monial question, and it is this: that ow
ing to tho disunities of war the ladies
greutly outuumber the gentlemen, and
uftor ull the lattor shall have taken wives
there will bo a large residuum offominiuo
loveliness unprovided for. This will be
unfortunate, but we sec no remedy for
it save in polygamy, which wo are not
prepared to advocate nor society to re-
oeivo. Wo beiievo tliut it is tho appre
hension on the part of therladios that tho
gentlemen will shortly run out, which
has given such an impetus to marriages
of into. No lady likes to live and die an
old maid, consequently offers have been
snnppod at siuce the war whioh would
liavo boon rejected had men been more
abundant. On the other hand, the in
centive whioh has operated in driving tho
men to murry has been the fear, on their
part, that after nearly all the marriagea
ble material hud been absorbed the
scramble and competition for the remain
ing beaux would become so fierce and
bitter that no mpi' could survivo it. To
esoapo such u dilemma, tho men are
marrying in hot linsto, and without tliut
degree oit caufipn and foresight which
should enter Into every step ' of this im
portant ohuracter.
Wo do not think, ill yieib' of tho gront
scuroity of men, that it is fair for widows
to marry a second time, until all the
youug maidens have socured husbands.
Tho Legislature ought to attend to this
matter, and protect tho interests of the
young ladies, for without the aid of legal
enactments, tho widows uro suro to play
tho grub game. Thoy will therefore
have to bo rostraiued by the strong arm
of the law. as wus done in tho early ool-
ouiul history of Virginia, when the House
of Burgesses pussed tin act of tho very
ohuracter indicated. It wus fouud that
all the young men imported into the col-
ouy, were at once cHiight by tile widows,
by superior wiles and strategems, with
out any clinnoo being allowed to tho
modest itud retiring young muidons : so
the Legislature tock tho matter in hand,
and will have to do so again.—Richmond

The Gratkst Salt Mine in the
Would. —Wo bod tbo pleasure of meet
ing recently wilh the Hon. I). D. Avery,
tbo proprietor of tbo immense "island,”
11 lake,” or, "mountain" of salt in at.
Mary's parish, as we have seen it vaiious-
ly slyiej.
Ths salt mine or island belonging to
Jud^e Avery is perhaps tho most exton-
live in tho known world. Tho salt is of s
pure chrystal, and, unlike that obtained
from the famous Cracow mines of Poland,
requires uo rebuffing. During tho osrly
port of tho lute war it was ono of the prin
cipal resources of supply to tho South.
The name of tho island is " Petit Anco,"
and consists of a hill, at some points one
hundred aud sixty foot high, containing
about two thousand two hundred ana
forty acres of land, surrounded by the
waters of Bayou Vermillion, situated
about nine miles from Vermillion bay, in
the abovo named parish.
Although salt has boon manufactured
upon the island for many years, yot tho
discovery of tho mines was not made un
til 18U3.
The deposit seems inexhaustible, and
promises to be one of tho greatest devel
opments of the ago. Although the pro
duction of salt in tho United Stales in lBl',0
was nearly thirteen millions of bushels,
yet the importation of tiffs article from
foreign ports were very largo,—Baton

A bachelor uncle, to whom bis nines
applied fur advioe on the question of
oboosing between two suitors, ono of
whom whs rich and the other poor—the
lattor, of coui'su, being the most ardent,
as well as the favorite lover- ecntentiously
replied: "My dear, tho question beiug
stripped ot ull illusory eieuionts, your
choice simply lioa betwoeu love aud,hoof.
Now, leva is an idea, while beef is a
reality. Lovo you can get along with
