EHGLUID, FRANCE AND THE UNITED
STATES.
Tlie sword of diplomacy has often accorn
plished as much as the sword of war, and
the strife which now rages wi.h unparalleled
ferocity over our land bids fairer to be stayed
by the former than the latter weapon. The
Confederate Stales, aiming only at t heir own
independence, will be the unintentional in
strument) of extending European civiliza
tion on this continent, at the same time that
they arrest the equally desolating spread of
Puritanic fanaticism on the one hand and
German infidelity on the other. Thus na
tions, a3 well as individuals, are made to
carry out the purposes of Him who rules
over all.
But for the usurpations ol one which is
now absorbing all tho resources of two dis
membered sections of a o**o powerful and
jealous republic, Fi ance would never have
dared, under any pretence whatever, to plant
her standards on the territory of Mexico.
As soon, however, as Napoleon saw his free
dom from interference by the gigantic repub
lic that had already acquired a large portion
of that fertile and tropical country, he finds
or invents a reason for attempting to regulate
the affairs of Mexico; and ere we are aware
of the magnitude of the enterpri^i Mexico
n eubjugatod and raised to the dignity of an
Empire, with every prospect for the intro
duction of French civilizatioc; and now not
all the power of the United States, or of any
European Government, will be able to dis
lodge the Emperor from the foothold which
he has gained.
Only think of it for a moment. A correct
map of North America would now present
the following picture. In the Northernmost
portions are the Russian Possessions, sepa
rated from Asia by the narrow belt of water
known as Behring Straits, some torty miles
in width, and the islaud or peninsula of
Greenland, in all of which the climate is so
intensely cold, and the soil so completely
barren, as to defy forever any attempts of
civilization to make it the abode of civilized
mau. Casting our eye Southward, where
climate and soil both improve, we sec the
possessions of Great Britain every year in
creasing in importance, both from the num
ber ol population, and dominion over the
native forests of the laud. A long strip of
territory reaching from ocean to ocean, next
meets our eyes, being the land of our enemy.
Below this, and constituting the most favored
portion of all—the best adapted for intellect
ual development., and for tho enjoyment of
luxury and contentment—is our own land
now deluged in blood, but destined, under
the smiles of Providence, we trust, and the
constancy and courage of our people, to be
come the abode of the freest and happiest
people on earth. Next to the Confederate
States is the Empire of Mexico, embracing
one of the most valuable tracts of territory,
in whatever light you view it, that ever
adorned the crown of Kiag or Emperor,
which is now under the fostering auspices of
Napoleon. To close the whole picture in
the extreme.South, is territory governed by
different rulers, which will ever be as unten
able by civilized races on account of its heat,
aa the most Northern portion before referred
to, is on account of its cold.
This brief suivey of the map of North
America as ilis, or rather as it should bo, is
convincing to all that we as a republic arc
deeply interested in flic future of Mexico.
Shall that country be permitted to subside
into its former unhappy condition, or shall
it under the potent influence of French civ
ilization be animated with new vigor, and
assume a station among the civilized powers
of earth? On this very question may cow
hang the is|uo of this war. Once set tle the
question that the occupation of Mexico by-
Iho French is to be permanent, and the ques
tion of our own independence is irrevocably
sealed; but such a question cannot be dec:
ded at once. FAmce in obtaining a gem
in her crown so brilliant as Mexico, musti
and will if I can, avoid any other encounter
in arms thau the feeble resistance which a
portion of the Mexicans under the leader
ship of Juarez now offers; but that she will
persevere to the end no one can for a mo
ment doubt after the long coveted prize is
already within her grasp. Our only hope
of interference in our behalf is from France*
not from England, and that such interfer
ence is necessary on the part of France in
order for her to retain Mexico could easily
be shown.
These reflections have been induced by
some items of information we copied sover-
al days since from the Richmond Examiner
to the effect that the French Government
had obtained permission from the Confeder
ate Government to export tobacco purchas
ed on her account from this country, and
that she had determined to do so by convoys
of armed vessels. Let but the determina
tion be carried out, and peace smiles on the
Confederate States free and independent.
The United Stales will never undertake to
oppose such a determination on the part of
so powerful an empire as France; and it is
not to the interest of Ijpgland herself, or of
European nations to interfere.

The Military Silu at bn Unchanged—Xo News
From the Sabine Pass Expedition—A Gun-
boat Lost and Found..
New Orleans, Sept 26.
For jiught the outside world knows the
situation here is unchanged. Headquarters
are as silent as the tomb relative to the move
ments of the Federal column inrthe Teche
country. Since the movement began, suf
ficient time has elapsed for the army to have
advanced a considerable distance if it met
with no serious check. A stubborn resist
ance was not anticipated, as the advancing
forces were supposed to be numerically much
the superior of the Confederates; and be
sides, the general expectation was that the
Coniederates would retire gradually before
the Federal army. But how far the army
has proceeded on its route, or whether a bat
tle has been fought, I find impossible to learn
even alter the most diligent inquiry. This
reticence in army circles is surely very sig
nificant. A like veil of mystery hangs
about the second Ssfcino Pass expedition.
It may have started and retrieved its previous
ill fortune, or returned ouce more discomfited
and broken. My impression is, however,
that no engagement of any importance has
as yet taken place. But we have evidence
that considerable activity prevails, and if we
credit all we hear, the Federal troops are not
dawdling away their time' iu camp. The
The Confe lerates seemed to have waked up
to a surprising degree of activity and enter
prise. Rumor has them iu a dozen different
points, in detached bodies, on both sides of
the river. Evidently as the cool weather
advances, the conflict deepens in this region.
Ere many weeks we expect to hear it thun

MEETING OP SOUTHERN GOVERNORS.
We are in receipt of Mobile papers of the
19th inst. The Governors of Louisiana
Texas, Arkansas and Missouri have been in
council at Marshal, Texas, and as a partial
result of their deliberations, wo have an ad
dress from them to the people of their
States upon the crisis in their affairs. Gov
ernor Lubbock, of Texas, whose name is
appended to thisj document,' shortly retires
from office by expiration of his term. He
will be succeeded by Pendleton Murray,'the
Governor elect. The council of Governors
had weighty questions before them, and it
is understood that they decided upon the
policy to be pursued without reference to
Confederate movements east of the Missis
sippi. The plan of the campaigns is left with
the generals of the department, the Govern
ors confining themselve.s in this matter to
the promise of a cordial and united support
of the militaiy power. Entire .confidence
was expressed in Generals Kirby Smith, Ma-
gruder, Price, and Taylor.

Laurens oNTns Habeas Corpus.—Hen
ry Laurens was President of the Continen
tal Congress in 1776. In 1780 he was sent
as minister to Holland. On his way he was
captured and imprisoned in the Tower of
London for fourteen months. When. Lord
Shelburne became Premier, Laurens was
brought up ou habeas corpus, and released.—
After his release, he was treated with great
kindness and respect by the British authori
ties. He diaed with Lord Shelburne. Af
ter dinner, the conversation turned on the
separation of the two countries. Lord Shel
burne remarked:
“ I am sorrv for your people.”
“ Why so ?” asked Laurens.
“ They will lose the habeas corpuswas
the reply.
“Lose the hateas corpus?’* said Laurens.
“ Yes, - ’ said Lord Shelburne. “ We pur
chased it with centuries of wrangling, many
years of fightiag, and had it confirmed by
at least fifty acts of Parliament. AH this
taught tho nation its value; and it is so in
grained in their seed, as the very foundation
ol their liberty, that no man or party will
ever dare trample on it. Your people will
pick it up, and attempt to use it; bat having
cost nothing will not know how to appre
ciate it. At the first great internal teud
that you have, the majority will trample up
on it, and the people will permit it to be
done, and so will go your liberty.”—Publish
ed Journal of Henry Laurens.
The guerrillas arc provokiugly active be
tween here and Helena. Their depredations
are rather annoying than destructive, some
what on the musquito order—sudden, short,
sharp attacks ail round, to be .renewed as
soon as the enemy is lulled in fancied secu
rity. Hitherto we have not heard of their
having artillery with them, the nature of
their warfare rendering such an arm quite
dispensable. Were their efforts solely di
rected to the destruction of passing boats, a
few light piecis were quit .* desirable; but
outposts, detached- parties, contraband en
campments, “government plantations” and
their overseers, military telegraph stations
and lines, are chiefly the objects of the guer
rillas attention. But within tho last two or
three weeks these partiz in rangers, as the
Confederates style them, have startled a
passing packet more than once with the
boom of their light field pieces.
The Julia, for instance, on her recent trip
from St. Louis to this city, while passing
Cole Bend, some twenty-five miles aoove
Natchez, was saluted several times with
compliments of a few six pounders, while
the rain of rifle balls was most uncomforta
bly heavy. Five balls were lodged in dif
ferent part3 of the boat, and a G-pounder
disemboweled two bullocks and lodged in
the store rooni. A conical shell imbedded
itself iu the coal bunk alongside the boilers,
fortunately doing no damage in that danger
ous locality, as it failed to explode. Another
shell, which did explode, and was extracted
in pieces from the coal pile, contained forty
half ounce balls, inserted with rosin. The
tin ware of the cook house, and other por
tions of the boat, were perforated with nu
merous rifle shot or Minie balls.
Another exploit o: these Independent
Rangers was a sudden descent on Sunday,
12th inst., upon the little Presbyterian church
at Rodney, Mis3, and thfi capture of some
officers and sailors, about twonty in number,
belonging to the gunboat R'atier, which has
been lying at anenor opposite that river
hamlet. The Rangers surrounded the church
and demanded tho surrender of the officers
and sailors who v/ere in attendance at di
vine service. Being unarmed, the whole
party, with the exception of one officer, were
made prisoners. The officer who escaped
(said to be the engineer) had a revolver,
which he discharged at the rebels until every
barrel was emptied, when, dashing through
one of the windows, he escaped to the shrub
bery in the rear ol the church where he hid
himself until the Rangers had departed.—
They were reported to have fired upon the
congregation, but the Natchez Courier-
good authority in this cssi—contradicts this
report. It is not likely they would have
fired upon a congregation largely composed
of women aud children, many of whom
were probably their own relatives. An
-“eye witness” informs ihe Era that “the
prisoners taken were instantly driven out of
town on foot, like mule3, at aawittrun,their
ciptors shouting (for a’l the world, bke In
dians who have taken a few scalps.) “ Hur
rah for Jeff. Davis!” and brandishing tli.eir
arms in the wildest excitement. ”
lam not well enough acquainted with the
laws of war to decide whether, as this “Eye
Witness” suggests, “the roof of a church, at
the usual hour of worship, is as good as a flag
of truce,” but I do ; kuow^that untimely
and unseemly visitation of sanctuaries is no
new thing iu thi3 department. Under tho
autocratic rule of Gen. Banks’ predecessor,
military visitations of a church were made
with as little scruple as domiciliary visits.—
I well remember the alarm and indignation
created in St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, one
quiet Sabbath morning, when, in the middle
of these: vice, the late Gen. Strong—then a
major on Butler’s staff—rose up aud ordered
the congregation to disperse and the church
closed, because ot the omission of a certain
prayer from the service. And not conteut
with this, the venerable pastor, the Rev. Dr.
Goodrich,was virtually then aud there placed
under arrest.
Iu this department also these R togers now
and then intrude upon the quiet of an out
post. We have a report that on Tuesday
evening, the 22 J inst., a party of them made
a dash uoon the telegraph station opposite
Danaldsville. It is reported th.at they car
ried oft* the operator, with his instruments,
and about a hundred negroes, besides de
stroying the line for some miles. Auother
report is that the operators escaped, but that
a captain and fifteen men were “gobbled.”

one of our tow-boats. No Capt. Duke nor
kindred spirit was there to do up the big

CONFISCATIONS.
Monitions of the United States Marshal
coutiaue to crowd the columns of the official
journal, and the whole property, real, per
sonal and mixed, within the federal lines,
fouud belonging to prominent confederates,
has now been attached for eventual condem
nation, and forfeiture to the United States.
Commissioner Slidell, Gencra.s- Leauic-
gard aud Hays, Senator Serames Lieuten
ant Governor Hyams, Adjutant General (ol
State) Grivot, Representatives Conrad and
Villere, and a host of others, have all been
cited and admonished to appear at the Dis
trict Court of the United States, to show
cause, if any they have, why Uncle Sam
should not have their estates, Though these
monitions are appearing daily these months
past, I have not heard that auy of the cited
anil admonished have entered a plea to the
jurisdiction, or iu bar, or any other plea, to
secure a st»v of proceedings. Possibly, in
the case of Gen. Beauregard, he is too busy
pleading in bar to secure a stay ol Gen. Gil
more’s proceedings.
exchange of prisoners:
Contrary to general expectation, an ex
change of officers captured in this depart
ment is said to be inaugurated. On Sunday
morning fifty confederate officers, a major
ity of w hom were captured at Port Hudson,
left here for the North on the steamer Clin
ton, with the understanding that they were
to be immediately exchauged. Some sixty
more were said to be going i rut he St. Mary,
but she had been detained until further or
ders Their selection for exchange was an
agreeable surprise to these officers. From
the terms of the surrender of Port Hudson—
no stipulation being made as to exchange,
and the known seeming irreconcilable alli-
tnes of both governments on the claims of
the ‘Corps d’Afrique”to a place in the cartel
—they had but small hopes of a speedy re
lease. The Richmond authorities are not a
whit more determined than they upon this
vexed question. Some .of them are known
to have said that they never would consent
to an exchange, should tho release of the
colored prisoners contribute in the slightest,
to their enlargement. Whether this vexed
question be qow adjusted or not, many,even
of those officers who are now ou their way
North, do not expect to be immediately ex
changed. Not a few think they arc merely
making an exchange of prison quarters, and
that they arc sent from the sunny South to
endure the rigors of a Southern winter.
This would be so unworthy of the high
character ol Gen. Banks—that is, if he have
control of the matter—that the idea must b:
immediately rejected. The more prevalent
opinion among the officers is that their ex
change will be delayed because the Rich
mond Government will first exchange those
Confederate prisoners novy within the Cbn-
federate lines. They will do this as the lat
ter class can be more quickly put iu the field
than those Confederate prisoners now with
in the Federal lines.
TOE NAVY AT WORK.
“Uncle Sam’s web feet” arc disturbing,
the quiet inland waters of the Gulf lie
has been chasing and destroying blockade
runners, and distributing compliments of
shot and shell all around these hitheato un
disturbed regions.
I recently informed you of the capture
and destruction of the steamer Fox, former
ly one of our tow boats, which was captured
some months since near the head of the pas
ses by a party of Confederates from Mobile,
headed by Capt. Jim Duke. She was being
pursued by the gunboats Calhoun,. Jackson,
and Tennessee, but finding escape impossi
ble, she was fired by her crew when w ithin
a short distance of the Pascagoula wharf.
This was on the night of the 12th instant.
Armed boot crews sent to guard the wreck
during the night aad prevent the rebels from
securing any of the cargo, were fired upon’
from the shore. Report: “Nobody hurt.’
Next day, Sunday, 13th inst., the gunboats
paid a visit to the Confederate fortifications
at Grand Pass, which guards the inland pas
sage to Mobile. They bombarded the forti-
fiertion until late iu the afternoon, the Con
federates briskly returning the fire. One of
of the Mobile iron clads, the Gen. Gaine3,
Captain John Hunter, was near b3 r , hut did
not, it is reported, take any part in the en
gagement. These gunboats have also been
very active in capturing the small crafts in
which the Confederates navigate those in
land waters, and in keeping a sharp lookout
lor the “ horse marines” who are operating
along the shores of these waters. Reports
are said to have reached the officer of the
squadron in Mississippi Sound that sailing
boats are being assumed by the rebels for
the purpose of committing small depreda
tions in any maimer that opportunity may
present. Tb«io are said to be already arm
ed and ready for work.

INTERESTING INCIDENTS OF THE BATTLE
OF CBICAMAUGA.
UEN. nOOD AND HIS MSN.
While Hood's division was in line of battle
on Saturday, 19tb, waiting to be ordered for
ward, the General himself rode along the
lront, his hat off in token of salute, liis left
arm still iu a sling, and his noble counte
nance still pale from the wound received ac
Gettysburg. Every tongue was ready to
rend the air with shouts—for Hood’s men
love their gallant leader. Bat he waved his
hand for silence, lest their cheers should at
tract the enemy’s artillery, and said as only
that good-hearted general would say, “boys,
I am glad to see you. You must whip this
battle here.” There was something awlully
beautilul-and solemnly prophetic of the issue
of the day, in the murmured vow, “not loud
but deep!” that ran along the line : “We’ll
do it, General.” They greeted the hero as
lie passed with the silent waving of their hats
■ in the air, and when shortly ufter they were
ordered to advance, they did so with the
will shouts aud impetuosity characteristic
of Southern blood; and the Yankees of Rose-
craus’ army long will remember and as long
lament the day they first met Hood’s divi
sion on the gory bauks of the Chicaraanga.
“Thev conquer, ‘but their leader’ fell,” and
when it was told, “Gen. Hood is badly
wounded,” the writer saw the eyes of many
a battle-scarred veteran wet with tears.—
Since the death of Stonewall Jackson, the
loss of no man has been so deeply deplored
as that of Major-General John B. Hood. He
• is regarded by the soldiers as the second
Stonewall Jackson of our army now. God
grant that the hero may sliil live to fight
and win lii3 country’s battles.
ONE OF THE BRAVES.
Oa Sunday evening Law’s brigade came
in sight ot a heavy battery. It was^right in
front of the 47th Alabama Regiment, and
was burling grape and canister among them
by Jbushels. E.' D. Claver, “the one eyed
Captain,” commanding tho regiment, order
ed a charge. They had just beguu it, when
Capt. L. R. Terrell, Adj uiant General to Gen
Law, dashed in front of the regiment, seized
the colors, aud wheeling his horse, darted
off a hundred yards ahead of the regiment,
up to the very mouths of the cannon, calling
to the regiment to follow their flag. They
did so, captured fifteen pieces of artillery and
eighty prisoners, aud gave three cheers for
the brave Capt. Terrell. Some due having
expressed astonishment that he was not
hurt, he replied with an air of the most per
fect nonchalance, “Olid—n ’em! they can’t
hit me.” Fortuna favetfortibus.
COL. W M. F. PERRY.
After Law's brigade had taken the Yankee
batteries and put ikeir infantry all to rout, in
the conscious security of victory many of
them temporarily quit the ranks and all got
into confusion. Col. Perry of the 40th Ala
bama, was commanding the brigade, lie
was vexed to see the men so regardless of
their duties, anil shouted with warmth and
vehemence—“ Form your regiments. Are
you demoralized, officers aud all ?” Seeing
the 4th Alabama forming with tones ot'deep
feeling and pride, ho exclaimed: ‘ Glorious
old 4sh !” Then observing a young officer
iu auother regiment, (47th, I think) with liis
company ready formed, h^rode up aud ask
ed, “whose company is this ? ’ “Mine,” an
swered the officer, stepping to the front.—
“Well,” said the colonel in his emphatic way,
“I’ll mention you in my report, sir.” Colo
nel Perry deserves promotion.
A CONTRAST.
How much a good causa will suatain and
cheer those engaged in it, even though they
fall! The writer could not fail to notice on
the battle field the different degrees of forti
tude with which our own men and those of
the enemy bore their sufferings. Our wound
ed were invariably cheerful; those of the
Yankees kept the air alive with their wail
ings. One case attracted particular atten
tion. A Confederate and a Yankee soldier*
were lying side by side, each with his thigh
broken. As we camc-by, the Yankee began
to cry for “water, to have pity ou him, and
remove him, liis thigh was broken,” and a
thousand other ol ihe most unsoldiery com
plaints. The Confederate soldier, who I
have since learned, was private Tiios. Batey
company I, 47th Alabama regiment, gave
three cheers for the Confederate army, ad
jured the men never despair or yield, aud
assured them that though fallen he was still
unconquered, aud that we must triumph in
the end. I thought of the words that Shalt-
speare puts in Julius Cesar’s mouth:
“Cowards die many times before their deaths;
Tee valiant never taste of death but once.”
Yerily, there is a glory in battling—aye,
aad a bliss in dying—for the liberties of the
land we love. " SOLDIER.

Anecdote of Gen. Hardee.—An officer
in Gen. Braga’s army furnishes the annexed
anecdote of Gcu. Hardee. During the re
treat from Kentucky, one ot tho heavily
laden trains reached the foot of a mountain
just beyond Cumberland. The mules were
iinab c, unassisted, to pull the wagon upjhe
mountain. In this extremity Gen. Hardee
took the matter in hand, halting every roan
who attempted to pas3, whether mounted or
oa foot, and ordered them to put their
shoulders to the wheel. jAt last a fancy
Caotain Quartermaster rode up, clad in ele-
u-ant grey, faced with buff and glittering in
Sold lace Gen. H. ordered him to dismount.
He refused. Tho order was repeated and
the A- Q- M. again refused. Whereupon
Gen. H. seized him by the breast, pulled him
from his horse, and seizing a piece oi a
w si cron bow, treated him to a sound druobing.
The lamed A. Q- M. meekly arose, and put-
liis elegantly clad shoulder to the wagon
wheel pulled with a will, all the while mut
tering’ blessings upon the kind-hearted gen
eral who taught him so practical a lesson.—
