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 nuigbbor with asecuro, fixed government, iusteud of tho continuod broils and quar- COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 4, 1866.

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 : l 1’hnle Leona u serai ssWilllselt ,xth dying. Thoir facos were swollen sud discolored; troth i.sued from their lllelr °y«i were cioBed, I!ii 'i, " w y , , i straight end stiff and cold On examining tho apartment, it was found that tlm "cap" had fallen off i r„,wo U | t , 1 ,i. uf 8n unu3t ' d K»s pipe, and through It tho gas escaped in a large stream into the room Tbo doors and windows homg Shut, and there being not the slight- “V*' r ‘ h “ lle „‘" »ny part of the room, tho K soon filled it, and the unconscious drau P gh' t ’ 9 a 0 t f n death' e8PiraUOn| l °° k in d °“ r ’ 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 Times. 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 Iiougc (La ) Comet. 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 out ; but beef you must have ; therefore make sure of vour beet." Wn. K. Bxdeli.. Ros'r C. Pori. 1TBW BOOT DID SHOE STORE.
