MEXICO.
Onr readers were informed in our issue
of the 13th that a resolution had been of
fered in the Senate of the United Btates
taking a decided stand against the mon
archical designs on Mexico, and instruct
ing the Committee on Foreign Affairs as
to what measures are deemed imperative
to countemct them and guarantee to the
Mexican people their rights to a republi
can form of government.
Simultaneously with this another reso
lution was introduced calling on the
FresiJent for di the information in his
possession relative to the occupation of
that country by the French.
Little is to be gleaned from these facts
as to the .temper of Congress. They aig-
nifv nothing more than an intention to
bring the subject up for consideration at
the earliest practicable moment. Upon
th e question of armed interference by
Buy European power with the govern
mental affairs of this continent, except
where their authority is established, as in
the ease of Canada, there is very little
conflict of opinion among the people of
the United States.
They are as a unit against it, and
would be pleased to have them relinquish
all claim to territory on this side of the
wafer. On this we all agree, though dif
fering widely as to what shall be deemed
» good and sufficient cause for resorting
to more than an expression of displeasure
to enforce the propriety of our views,
and deter those who may be inclined to
tike undue advantage of the condition
of our sister Republics, and compel them
to accept a form of government which
does not meet the approval of a majority
of their people. The United States is
not pledged to become the champion of
republican institutions under any and all
circumstances, notwithstanding her avow
ed policy to foster them as best she can.
She has not taken upon herself the re
sponsibilities of knight errantry in be-
Lalf of freedom the world over, and cer
tainly is indisposed to assume them now,
when there is every reason to believe that
her internal affairs will demand her ex
clusive attention for some time to come.
Even if the word of the nation had
been passed to that effect, it would have
carried with it the proviso that
6elf interest was not to be entirely ne
glected, and we could not be expected, in
any view of the case, to rashly jeopar
dize our national existence. It would be
unreasonable to ask it of us, and certain
ly stretch the obligations of friendship
to an unparalleled degree. All that we are
in honor compelled to do will be done
in the face of all risks—but our situation
renders it impolitic in us to make free,
will offerings. The only question now is
whether France, by sending troops to
Me xic-o, has been guilty of conduct
which may not be expiated by their
being withdrawn at an early date. We
hazard nothing in >sj>ressing the belief
that this would be as much as our Gov
eminent would ask, and judging from
the lest information to be had, it is most
likely to take place.
The policy of Napoleon • in regard to
Mexican affairs, has never been looked
upon with any degree of favor by the
French, people, and there is now,
as there always has been, a strong party
jn opposition to it. The scheme for the
propagation of imperialism originated at
Vtimffi when it pleased the aristocrats in
alforeign eountr ies to receive the sim-
ple'act that we were engaged in a civil
. war as satisfactory proof of the ineffi
ciency of republicanism.
The wily monarch evidently believed
in the representations of this class, and
looking toon the wished for disintegra
tion of th. United States as an accom
plished fan, was induced to undertake
what he m\gt now admit to be one of
'•the greatest mistakes of his life. The
opinion is nflversally accredited that
at the opening tf the next “Corps Legis
late he will r&terate the assurances
given last year, that the French troops
will be recalled froA -Mexico as soon as
possible, and in deferent to the demands
of a large and growing party who are
now clamorous for reform with economy
for their watchword, he cannot long
withhold the actual fulfillment of his
promise. By the light of these facts, onr
duty is plain. Threats of expulsion at
this juncture of affairs wquld be very
untimely. When we resort to them we close
•very avenue of escape, and the honor of
France being at stake, we would strength
en the hands of the Emperor by uniting
ali parties against ns, and there would be
f° alternative but to leave the settlement
to the dread issue of war. It is but a
ama.l sacrifice to make for peace, and will
reflect no discredit on a people whose
reputation for heroic valor commands the
respect of every nation.
Deprived of the support of French
bayonets, Maximilian will be left
* H to stand upon, and
we doubt whether he would re-
the country long enough to
test tue truthfulness of fain M^rtio^ hi
: P m
regard to the attachment he professes to
have awakened in the hearts of a great
majority of the Mexican people. The
bubble would burst with the. slightest
punetnrer»n*l the world would soon be
called on to witness the epd of monarchy
In tin land of the ,Xontezuemas. We
hkveoot adverted to- the injury which
our interference at present might
work to Juarez and his cause, tyit
we have shown sufficient reason
why we should seek to maintain our
present attitude unchanged until the de
nouement has reached that stage when it
is made to appear that there is a deter
mination to deal unfairly with us and
disregard the doctrine which is so firmly
fixed in th<5 minds of the American peo
pie. We would forgot the past, hut ask
good security for the future.
A Present-
were yesterday made the happy re-
<Spient of an elegant editorial chair from
a few of our New York friends, who have
been kind enough to present us with this
sensible and useful gift as a tangible ex
pression of their regard %pd appreciation
of our services in publishing a fearless
and independent loyal journal. .
To say that we axe truly grateful to the
generous donors for this appropriate
souvenir of their esteem and warm friend
ship, is but feebly expressing our grati
tude. We accept it, return our sincere
thanks, and shall cherish this chair until
time has worn its last shred from the
sumptuous cushion, and the monarch of
decay has stolen the last splinter of its
rich and tasty frame. JJe kind enough,
gentlemen, to excuse us fron^making a
speech on this occasion, and we know
that the same generous spirit that
prompted the token will likewise relieve
us from any lengthy dissertation upon
chairs, editorial, reportorial, ton orial,
balmorial, or any other kind of orial. We
shall sit easier hereafter, and as we recline
in the arms of your sumptuous and
inviting chair, anathematizing our d—1 or
waiting for proof, rest assured we shall be
able to furnish clearer copy, indite ele
gant items, write about sumptuous ar
rangements of all kinds, dilate and en
large upon the beauties of friendship :
“ Friendship's a name to few confined,
The offspring of a generous mind ;
A genial warmth that fills the breast,
And better felt than e’er express’d.”
We should indeed be ungrateful did
we not acknowledge our indebtedness to
Purser Richardson, of the Nevada, for
the careful manner in which he trans
ported the rather unwieldy and bulky ar
ticle from New York to this city. The
Purser is as modest as courteous, but he
will excuse us for corroborating the uni
versal opinion of those who cross the
ocean in the steamship Nevada—and that
is, that a more accomplished gentleman
was never installed in a Purser’s berth
than Purser Richardson.
Formation of a New Congregational
Church.
The Rev. J. E. Roy, a representative of the
American Home Missionary Society in New
York, has been in this city for the last week
with a view of looking up the scattered con •
gregationai material, and, if the way should be
cleer, ofinitiating a church enterprise here. We
learn that he has found quite a number of the
people of that persuasion, who hart no Church
Society for their accommodation, and that a
paper has been signed by thirty bohioess men
who agree to give 61 their influence and means
for the support ol such a movement, while many
others have expressed their interest in it and
have promised aid. The Fireman’s Hall, on
South Broad street, has been secured as a tem
porary place of worship, (the Hall is still to be
used a part of the day by the Disciples’ Church)
until a permanent church edifice shall be pro
cured. An able minister will be sent out as soon
as may be, by the Society, which will supplement
the Balary, while the American Congregational
Union, of Boston, will aid in buildiDg or purchas-

Meeting.
FOURTH DAY’S PROCEEDINGS.
[Reported Expressly for the National Repub
lican.]
Savannah, Dec. lttb, 1866.
This trial by Military Commffcon reached g
conclusion to-da* The only public expecta
tion in immediate connection with it now re
maining tofie gratified is the promulgation ofjfc
the final decision—when, however, that will rpgj. TOWN AGAIN PLACED UNDER
be officially announced, is a somewhat proble
matical matter, but doubtless within a week
Upon the repo#of the Court being completed it
will be immediately forwarded to Brevet Major
General J. M. Brannan, commanding the*Dis-
trict of Savannah, for his approval dr otherwise
of the findings of the Commission in an order
to that effect, and who will afterwards transmit
the report, together with a copy of his order,
to the Judge Advocate General at Washington.
The accused, who daring the continuance of
the trial had not only conducted himself in a
generally unexceptionable manner personally,
but had also displayed considerable tact and
shrewdness in managing his own defence, ex
hibited in Court to-day an obvions anxiety in
reference to bis ultimate fate, and was evidenfly
dissatisfied with himself and the unpleasant
circumstances surrounding him.
Having daily published in extenso all the
proceedings in the case, we furnish this morn
ing the last instalment in the shape of the sum
ming up of the accused
The Court assembled at 10 o’clock—a fell
attendance of the different officers composing
it being present—when the following defence
in the handwriting of the accused, and which
we give verbatim et literatim, was offered by
him, and wa3 read by the Judge Advocate to
the Court. The Judge Advocate, in behalf of
the prosecution, submitted the esse without re
mark :
May it Please the Court. The testimony
in this Case is So Clear and full, that all the
Argument that I can make, cannot render it
more obvious, The Disorder charged in the
Complaint, has Not been proved, Nor that the
Deffcndant advised the people to take the pro
perty of their Former owners; Nor to Disobey
any Orders from Gen'l Howard and Other Go
vernment officers ; Nor has it been proved that
he advised the people to hold the lands against
the orders of Genl Howard ; nor did he advise
them Not to make Contracts.
A. L. Stanford and H. Mobly testifies that
Defendant said the President ’ was Drunk.
This is contradicted By the Rev. Dr. Cox and
by James R. Wallace, A. Burke, Jss. Porter,
Mr. Johnson, F. J. Keating, Jas. R. Mason,
Isaac Sheffiall, K. S. Thomas, P. M. Teomer,
who also contradicts the Government witnesses
n all all the charges set forth in the first
Court.
Isaac W. Brinkerhofi 1 and A. S. Stanford
Testifies that Defendant said: how can you
steal't all that has been raised in the last few
years lias been cultivated and produced by you!
you cam steal, because there is nobody to steal
from. On this part of the case there is a con
flict of evidence, and the Defendant must have
the benefit of the Dowbt, (doubt). Again, let
us look at it in another light, all the col’d peo
pie in Geo. were set Free by an Act of Con
gress, July 17th, 1862, cliapt. 195, sec. 2d, and
if free, they were entitled to all they produced
During the time their former Owners were in
Arms against the United States. Now, if this
Argument is Correct, then each Freedman is
legally entitled To Pay for all the labour done
since they were discharged Free by Congress,
And have A Right to sue in the U. S. Courts
For the same. Now then, if this latter argn
ment is correct, they hold a Lien on the lands,
and should be Paid before Discharged, all
though tho legal title May be restored to the
Former Owners. Agafb, it will not be denied
but that the State of Georgia had a Constitu
tional Right to Abolish her Constitution, and
repeal her Statute laws. She having done

We ore enabled to lay before our rea
ders this morning, a full and detailed
account of the serious difficulties whioh
have lately occurred at* Thomasville.
Within the last ten days our oity has
been rife with the most alarming rumors
of bloody insurrections in the interior of
San Domingo, strife at Thomasville and
other points, but we havd generally re
frained from publishing these reports
on account of the vague and unreliable
manner in which they were repeated to
us. The air has seemingly been preg
nant with sensation rumors of conflict
between the whites and blacks, but the
only positive information we have yet
received, are the following facts of the
Thomasville entente, received from res
ponsible gentlemen who were present
during the troubles.
No Insurrection.
We are glad to state that there is not
the slightest foundation for the silly re
ports of insubordination* among the
Freedmen, so that our timid readers, who
lay their uneasy heads upon their pillows
at night expecting to hear the woeful
tidings of all the accumulated horrors of
negro insurrections, can at once recover
their mental equilibrium, sleep soundly,
and enjoy'the most refreshing repose.
On the night of the 29th of November
the community at Thomasville were sud
denly startled and somewhat excited by
the arrest of Gazaway Lamar, jr., by U.
8 Detective Leemau Bunnell, acting un
der special instructions from the General
Commanding this District. As the news
spread through the town of the arrest of
Mr. Lamar, all sorts of reasons were as
signed for the mysterious movement, al
though it was generally supposed that the
arrest had its origin in the great cotton
scrape in which so many prominent par
ties are implicated.
Where the Mischief Hegun.
Shortly after the arrest of Mr. Lamar,
while an unarmed Orderly of the lOiid U.
S. C. T. was on his way to Col. Bogart’s
Headquarters, he was suddenly assailed
by three armed men, one of whom suc
ceeded in stabbing the soldier iu the
back, inflicting a severe but not danger
ous wound. In the darkness the as-

ing a House of Worship. By a resolution of the
National Council of Congregational Churches,
held in Boston last Jane, a simultaneous collec-
iection is to be taken in all the three thousand
churches of this order, for the purpose of raising
two hundred thousand dollars to aid id erecting
Chnreh Edifices at the West and the South.
This collection is to occur on the next Lord’s
Day or Foie Fathers’ Sabbath, the anniversary
of the Landing of the Pilgrims on Plymouth
Rock,
If such a church is established here, it will, oi
coarse* be earnestly loyal and liberty loving ;
it will tend to attract to our city men of this
faith aDd policy, who, with capital and enterprise,
are contemplating a settlement in the South ; it
will gather into a society the people who aro now
not associatqA anywhere, and so increase the re
ligious influence of the city.
We learn that this American Home Missionary
Society, in the forty years of its existance, has
raised four and a halt millions of dollars, and
has used the same in tbe p'anting and culture of
more than two thousand churches, most of which
have now become self-supporting. Its Secreta
ries in New York are Revs. M. Badger, D. D ; D.
B. Coe, D. D., and A. H. Clapp; and tbe Treasur
er, Christopher R. Robert, Esq. \
In the South there are already several churches
of this polity—one at Washington, Rev. Dr.
Boynton, pastor, and Chaplain of the House of
Representatives; one in Baltimore, Rev. E
Johnson’s ; one in New Berne, Rev. Horace
James’; one in Delaware; one in Memphis, Rev
Mr. Bliss’; Rev. Dr. Posts, of St. Louis, with
seventeen others in the State of Missouri ; one
in New Orleans ; while measures are now on
foot for organizing at several other points.

General Butler’s Resignation.
'Die Philadelphia Telegraph states that the
resignation of Benjamin F. Butler, as a Ma
jor General of the United States service, has
been promptly accepted by the War Depart
ment, and adds: ‘-This -is significant, as
showing the bitterness of feeling which is
growing up between the Radicals and the
Conservativesat Washington. General But
ler tendered his resignation some time sinee,
or as soon as he heard that Lient. Gen. Grant
was abontto give him a scoring in his official
report. The matter was laid over, and -noth
ing more was said about it until a few^iavs
since, when General Butler was called to
Washington for a conference with the Presi
dent. Sequel: General Botler was not satis
fied ; the conference was not a' happy one to
him. He looked op his old rarigoation, and
had it aoceptod before fee time came when its
acceptance might appear creditable to him
Consequence: General Bailee will now be a

who has resided many years in Thomas

of its people and localities, volunteered
to pilot the guards in search of Seward

of York, the arrest was made, and the
