Most amicable relations pre vailed between our officers and soldiers on the east side of the river, in Texas, and the Imperialists on the opposite side. Movements on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande give every indication of a de sign to maintain a militaiy establishment ol considerable strength. A London newspaper states that Melvin, a confidential agent of the Emperor Maxi milian, had a conference with Lord Pal merston, but failed entire y; his efforts in duced the latter to alter the Mexican policy of England.

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. Where awaying branches overhead Concealed a forest glade. Anon & river wooud its way, Whose banks were green and blight, - * The maid espied a lovely flower, And, gazing, bleat the sight.

Calmly he met the angel Death, Ne'er mourned bis hapless lo.; But gazing on the maid he oned, Farewell, “Ft.-pel me not !'■ OF THE COLLECTION DISTRICTS GEORGIA.

Roman Mothers.— 1 Thi ancient Romans •were well aware of the .fact that a hardy race must be b )rn ».f healthful motherland cons' queutly anv usage or practice which 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, dad we the same regimen with our supe rior science and Christian morality, we should astonish the world by our physical strength auel health. A partridge nest was found iu Cumberland, England, lately, containing seventeen partridge eggs aud six common hen eggs. A partridge and a hen were found setting together upon the nest. 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 Matamora?, swearing that the Emperor’s 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.

Prince Tttttugin Italy at that time should "ty The fcflowiiig version of the origm sugar—n«w Grieai* i6®S2c. ¥ u^white “ a be able to surround himself with a power-, ” rT ® r --’ ~—*-- j <Mt ' aow - “ * ful party, and at the same time gain the af fection and esteem of the Italian people, de monstrates more than all other arguments that he is possessed of a high political ca pacity and a rare business tact. In order to gather around him the powerful and wealthy nobility of North Italy, who were then masters of the situation, he was obliged to make a princely display, which ignorance and jealousy ia auer years decried as nn warranted extravagance. As time went on he made the fulfillment of the Austrian Em peror’s promises, a condition sine qua non of his further rule, aud demanded in the name cf Italy such concessions as would have averted the fate that followed after wards. Under this prince’s rule Italy would have been free and united, without being obliged to sell its liberty to au ally ; would have retained Venice aud become a natural 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. „ PROMAX.

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.
