1II£ ANTECEDENTS OP THE EM-
PEltOR MAXI YULIAN.
At the present, when Mexico and its Em
peror, Maximilian, attract 9o much public
attention, it will not be uninteresting to the
impartial reader to learn something of the
past history ot a mau against whom the en
tire press of the United Stales seems to be
arrayed—whether justly or ur justly I will
not now examine. But it is at least certain
that no correct idea ol the character and ol
the mind of this prince can be formed from
reports, which on their very face, show
either a careless ignorance of the facts ol the
case, or an intention to misrepresent.
The Emperor Maximilian is the eldest
brother of the Emperor of Austria, aud was
educated after the usual system t f educa
tion of Austrian princes. He manifested at
an early age great talents aud strength of
character.
The small liking which he entertained for
the army, which forms the usual occupa
tion of Austrian princes, may have been the
principal reason for granting him the privi
lege ol choosing auother profession ; aud as
it is a rulo-that every Austrian prince should
set vc the country, he of course, selected the
navy, which at that time was iu its infancy.
In his fifteenth year the Prince, accord
ingly was transferred lo the navy; aud,
taught by the best masters, and surrounded
by the best officers, he acquired in a short
time a knowledge of the requirements of
the marallmc prolession, aud entered into
active service as lieutenant in 1849. He
made his way up through all the grades till
he re ached the position of Admiral. Hia
love for the navy and his profound nautical
knowledge soon gained for him the respect,
while his amiable disposition and frank
manuers to everybody won’for him the af
fection of the whole navy,
As Admiral he created the Auslriau navy,
almost out oi nothing. Aud this he did in
spite of incredible difficulties inherent iu the
fundamental principles of the Austrian gov
ernment, and which cannot be so easily
eradicated, as well as of those difficulties
which spring from the avowed hostility of
an all powerlul army. The navy thus called
iuto being is fitted to compete with any
other of a similar rauk, and that it failed to
do its duty in the late wars with France and
Denmark, must be carried to the account of
the government, and not (o the chief of the
Navy Department.
In 1858 an important change took place
iu the liie of the Priuce. When Austria
saw, at the eleventh hour, the danger into
which bad government had brought her
Italian provinces, she looked in vain around
her for a savior of them. The Prince, who,
during extensive voyages around the globe,
had acquired a knowledge of the world and
of human nature, had already attracted
public attention to a considerable degree,
and the government desired to place the ad
ministration of these provinces in his hands
at a time when every impartial observer
must have seen that their loss to the crowu
was inevitable. It is impossible now to
speculate upon the deal aids of the Prince
and the concessions which were made to
him by the government; but certain it is
that in the hour of need everything was
conceded, only to be publicly withheld
again as soon as the military supremacy ro
covered by Austria enabled her to retain
these provinces by the force of the bayonet
The Prince rultd iu Italy with his innate
love for liberty and progress, aud in a man
ner that secured to him in a short time the
universal respect and affection of the peo
ple, while at the same time it excited dis
trust and dissatisfaction in the bosom of the
biased govern men k That an Austrian
of the “ forget-me not ” fliwer is not less
beautiful -than simple:
Two lovers, on a sc-umer eve,
Roamed for a cooling shade.

Concealed a forest glade.

Was likely to affect injuriously the health
of women, was viewed by the 8*ate with
suspicion. The muscles wore systematically
educated. Frequent bathing was required
by law. Large hath houses were estab
lished, which were places of common re
sort. For several centuries of the best ages
of Rome, il was a criminal offence for a R-e-
man mother to drink intoxicating liquors.
The consequence was, that the Romans
were noted tor their endurance and strength,

A * fairs in Washington, Ga.— We learn
from a gentleman just f om the above
named place that its citizens have been
somewhat exercised : n consequence of a sud
den and unexpected order received by Mrs.
Robei t Toombs to vacate her dwelling and
premises, taking therefrom nothing but her
personal effects aud two weeks provisions
This order emanated from Brig. Gen. Wilde,
Assistant Commissioner Ficedmen’s Bu
rt an; who intimated, in the same docn
men?, that ihe premises were looked upon
as “abandoned property,” and therefore to
be taken possession of, and applied lo the
uses ol the Freedmen’s Bureau
On the day succeeding the receipt ot the
order by Mr?. Toombs, (Sunday last,) a rel
ative of the family reonircd, to this city and
laid the facts before Gun. Strcdman, who,
iu his usual prompt aud considerate man
ner, issued an order to Brig. General Wilde
to re instate Mrs Toombs in her re ndence.
Another matter, transpiring iu the same
town, was called to the attention of Gtn.
Siecdman, and he, at once, despatched the
proper officer to investigate the affair ; a?
we are confident that justice will be none
in the premises, we await the appropriate
time to lay the facts bclorc our readers.
Georgia is fortunate iu having an officer
in power who has the will to “be just, and
fear not.”— Augusta Transcript.
GwrNN out Against Maximilian.—The
New York Times’ Mexican correspondent
says Gwiuu is now in Texas, or at lea9t

downfall is certain, and that his first step
will be to take the oath of allegiance to the
United States Government. General Stone
ia also going to leave Mtx'co. He did not
accomplish anything, as far as 1 am aware.
He may thank his keeping company with
Gw inn for his want of success. However,
in justice to the General, let me say, that ol
my own knowledge, I know that he still
1 ves the old fl ig, and has always, while ih
Mexico, abstained lrom political allusions.

that he is possessed of a high political ca

to gather around him the powerful and

then masters of the situation, he was obliged
to make a princely display, which ignorance
and jealousy ia auer years decried as nn

he made the fulfillment of the Austrian Em

of his further rule, aud demanded in the

ally of Austria, which thus would have won
as much iu a moral sense as it has since
lost materialiy by the force of arm?.
When the Archduke Maximilian saw that
all hia hopes were thwarted by the po 15 cy of
of his government, and by ideas belonging
to auother century, he handed in his resig
nation and retired to private lift*.
The Archduke’s avowed political dp : u-
ions, his antecedents, aud his position in the
country made him, of c *urse, the leader of
the liberal and prog, essive party, and there
by Increased his difficulties and dangers
with.the government. The choice of the
Mexicans at last freed the government of
the presence of a man whose binh, whose
talents, and whose noble traits of character
could scarcely have failed to infloeru e for
good the future of Austria, and perhaps ol
all Germany.
His generous eudeavor to make proper use
of his talents for the benefit of* mankind in
duced him to exchange his splendid pros
pects in Europe for the crown of thoi as in
Mexico—decidedly au aet of self-denial
which merits the approbation of the whole
civilized world. The sacrifices he made by
renouncing his large property coming to
him from the Hapsburgs, likewise that of
his right of succession to the Austrian
throne, for the purpose of giving liberty,
peace and progress to a people which had
panted for these blessings for half a century,
are surely traits which elevate his character
and his good intentions far above all suspi
cion, and deserve the merited co operation
of the nations by which he was elected Em
peror. No lover of Republican government
certainly can deny that 10 raise Mexico
from the condition of anarchy and despair
in which she has been lor nearly half a cen
tury, is the essential condition precedent to
any development of freedom in that coun-
try.
As it is not my purpose to make prose
lytes for the Mexican Empire, but merely
to put iu its proper light the story of a man
who deserves not only the. full sympathy of
his political friends, but also of his adversa
ries, I will leave the Monroe Doctrine and
its application to the-individual judgment of
every impartial reader. But a retrospect of
the Prince’s past political history, and an
honest survey of his course are sufficient to
convince any one that he would never con»
sent to be a ruler by the force of the bayo*
net against the will of the people, as he has
often been falsely charged with doing. He
would have abandoned Mexico long ago if
he were not convinced by the voice of all
that is intelligent in Mexico that his gov
ernment is better qualified than auy other
to give peace, prosperity and happiness to
that unfortunate people.
If the Empire of Mexico had such a fee
ble foundation as has often been represent
ed, there would nothing remain for the Em
peror but to re^embark as soon as possible.
The truth is, he is not only protected by his
soldiers, but by a powerful party of liberty
and progress-loving citizens, willing and
eager to sustain him against a horde ot
banditti and the machinations of priests and
others, to assure the real liberty and pro
gress of the nation. „

GANERAL ORDER, )
No. 1. J
I. The following Circular from Headquar
ters Bureau of Freedmen, Refugees aud
Abandoned Lands, is re-published for the iu -
formation of all whom it may concern:
War Dep’t. Bureau of Freedmen, \
Refugees and Abandoned Lands, [
Washington, D. C., May 22, 1865. )
CIRCULAR, )
No. 3. \
Whereas a large amount of land in the
Slate of Virginia, and in other States that
have been in insurrection, has been aban
doned by disloyal owners and is now being
cultivated by Freedmen; and whereas the
owners of such lands are attempting io ob
tain possession of them, and thus deprive
the Freedmen of the limits of their industry:
It is orderod that all abandoned lands iu
said States now under cultivation by the
Freedmen be retained in their possession
until the crops now growing shall be secured
for their benefit, unless full and just com
pensation be made for their labor and its
products, and for expenditures.
The above order will not be so construed
as to relieve disloyal persons from the con
sequences of their disloyalty; and the ap
plication for the restoration of their lands,
by this class of persons, will in no case be
entertained by any military authority#
O. O. HOWARD,
Major General, Commissioner Bureau
of Freed men, Refugees and Abandoned Lauds.
War Dep’t, Adj’t Gens. Office, 1
Washington, May 22, 1865. /
All military authorities will sustain the
Commissioner of the Bureau of Refugees,
Fieedmen and Abandoned Lands, and aid
him in the execution of the above order.
Bv Direction of the Sec’y of War:
E. D. TOWNSEND,
Assistant Adjutant General.
II. The provisions of the above Circular
will be strictly enforced throughout the
States of South Carolina, Georgia and Flor
ida. Complaints have been made at these
Headquarters that iu many instances former
owners of plantations and slaves, who are
now allowed to remain on their lands upon
condit ion that they announce to their former
slaves that they are free, and make with
them fair and equitable agreements, whereby
full and just compensation shall be made for
their labor and its products, are, in defiance
of this order, still forcing their former
slaves to work for them, and continue to
hold them in slavery, even to the extent of
shooting them down if they dare to assert
their freedom ; and fail utterly to admit or
announce to them in any way that they are
free. Such acts are disloyal to the Govern
ment and in plain violation of its policy.
It is hereby ordered that all persons em
ploying the Freedmen in agricultural and
mechanical pursuits within the States’of
South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, who
fail by the 16th of August to announce to
those in their employ the fact that they ate
free, and fail to rec; gnize them as free men
and to make suitable agreements with them
whereby a just and equitable compensation
will be secured to them for their labor, will
be held as disloyal to the United States Gov
ernment, and their property will be subject
to seizure and division among the Freedmen
in accordance with the provisions of Section
4 of an “Act to establish a Bureau for the
relief ot Freedmen and Refugees, Approved
March 3, 1865.
III. As the harvest time is near, and the
Freedmen have been regarded as free by the
United States Government since January,
1863; and as a measure of necessity to pre
vent them fiom becoming paupers on its
bounty, the Freedmen must be paid for
their labor on all lands, not abandoned
since the commencement of the preparation
of the ground for seed, up to the harvest
time of this year; anl unless full compen
sation is made, to the satisfaction of this
Bureau, the Freedmen will be entitled to
and will receive one-half of the crop raised.
IV. Auy pirson who shall whip or other
wise maltreat any freedman because be as
serts that freedom, or for olher cause, will be
held guidy before the law, aud punished for
assauU and battery; and any one who shall
take the life of any freedman for like cause,
will be held guilty of murder.
V. No person will be permitted to drive
tho aged, infirm and helpless from their pres
ent places of abode; they must be allowed to
remain where they are until such time as the
Government shall make proper provision for
their suppoit.
YI. The Assistant Commissioners iu the
States of South Carolina, Georgia aud Flor
ida are required to enforce this order to
the extent of their power, and to report to
these Headquarters all violations of it. The
aid of every friend of justice and fair deal
ing between man and man is also request
ed to bring to the notice of the Freedmen’s
Bureau any failure to comply with its pro
visions.
When the rules of exact justice 9hall be
observed in relations between all, employer
and employed, and each shall regard the
ether’s rights, then will be practically dem
onstrated, so clearly that none can doubt, the
advantages of the free labor system.
By order of
BV’T MAJ. GEN. B. SAXTON,
Ass’t Com’r of Freedmen for Sooth Carolina,
Georgia and Florida.
