SAVANNAH, FRIDAY. MAY 26, 1965.
Our Mexican Relations. —Louis De Arro
yo, in a communication to tiie New lork
Times, makes some statements which from
his character as commissioner from Maximi
lian may be received as reliable and final, and
which will show that the American public
has been widely misled in regard to the ac
tion of the new Mexican Government. The
Commissioner now in this country from the
Emperor Maximilian denies, in the most ex
plicit manner, the statement that any portion
of the Mexican territory has been ceded to
France, and assserts also that Dr. Gwin has
neither received any cession of land, nor any
title whatever, and that, in fact, he has never
had any relations or interviews with the Em
peror, or with the members of his govern
ment. Upon the frame high authority tie
more recent report of negotiations between
Maximilian and the rebel General, Kirby
Smith, is flatly and positively contradicted.
The Times remarks: ‘"These assuranees
are timely, and will aid in defeating the fool
ish attempts made in some quarters to excite
popular hostility against nations with which
we have thus far maintained pacific relations."
Tue Assassination Trial' —As this great
trial proceeds, proof grows stronger and
stronger every day that Davis and bis indi
vidual subordinates have been connected
with all the atrocious piots for burning
Northern cities, and doubtless with those
also for murdering Northern Statesmen.
The New York Times in an editorial ar
ticle of May i9tb, says:
There are points of interest in the testi
mony taken yesterday. One refers to an
alleged communication made by the witness,
W« iehman. to an officer of the War De
partment respecting ihe plot, before the as
sassination. Another points directly to Da
vis, as having indorsed the “detached ser
vice” scheme in a note addressed to Benja
min, bis Secretary of State. The note has
been produced before the court, and the
handwriting is sworn to.

The Memphis Argus has reliable informa

at Parkville, Ala., on the 13th, by four of

Johnston's surrender, which Forrest did not
believe.
All the papers and other documents com

The rise in the Mississippi river has forced
the levees, and the watei now covers the
immense area from the Red river to Donald

this overflow is terrible, and the destruction
of property beyond description.

It is very well kuown to the public that
the theatres in New York City w ere the
first, in all the laud, of all public buildings
closed as a mark of respect to the memory
of President Lincoln. This was done by
their own voluntary act, for the managers
felt not alone the pangs of grief which struck
to the heart of every true aud loyal nmn,
but they were still more deeply grieved, be
cause one who had been partially recognized
as a member of their own profession, had
•been the murderer. It is true that the Super
intendent of Police, of New York, issued an
order shutting up all places of amusement,
but his messengers found every respectable
place already closed, the order having been an
ticipated by tbe prompt action of theMauagers
and Proprietors of the leading houses. Only
tbe Concert Saloons and certain other low
places of that, sort required the interference
of the poiice to compel them to temporarily
give up their business.
, For ten days the Theatres, etc., remained
sealed so tbe amusement seekers, at a loss to
each proprietor of many thousand dollars,
not one penny of which, we verily believe,
was regretted by any one of the many loyal
managers.
It has ever been the boast of the Theatri
cal Profession, that whatever may be the
faults and shortcomings of its members in
other respects, no professional actor's name
was ever yet found on the roll of felons. No
actor certainly was ever yet hanged in
America, and we believe tbe anflrla of the
Slates' Prisons and Penitentiaries of our
country can show no actor's name. We
mean professional actors—men who were
recognised by Thespian artists as belonging
to their profession—of course there have
been vagabonds come to grief who have, for
a few months, at some time of their worth
less lives, hung about theatres until their
character being discovered they would be
kicked out; but these were no more “actors”
than the boy who sweeps out a doctor’s office
is of necessity, a professional surgeon. It is
absolute]}’ true, that no profession can show
a record so clear from crime as that one
whose business tis to “hold the mirror up to
Nature.” And, though John Wilkes Booth
was never considered a regular professional,
still, the historic name he bore,
and the fact that he has played
occasional spasmodic engagements in legiti
mate theatres, sufficed to give him a certain
acknowledged status among actors, the effect
of -which can never be removed, and thus it
comes that the theatrical men and women
have a double mourning.
For ten days, much longer than they were
required to do by the Police Regulations, did
the theatres keep their doors closed, and they
simultaneously re-opened in New York on
Monday the 24tlj of May.
Wallaces’* Theatre.— Mr. John Lester
Wallack, who has been afflicted by very se
vere illness, so as for four months to incapa
citate him for acting, has at last re-appeared.
He played “Don Felix” in “The Wonder” to
a house as full as could be. His appearance
was the signal for a storm of Applause, for
the relations of “Wallaces" to the public are
such that W.hfle the company are among
themselves a happy family, they are so well
known and appreciated by their patrons that
the illness of one of them is* regretted as if
each of the audience had to mourn the mis
fortune of a personal friend. Ho Lester Wal
lack got a huge “reception. ” Still the papers
say that he is yet snffering from some dis
ease of the throat which interferes with his
articulation and freedom of elocution and that
facial action which was formerly the greatest
charm of his acting.
Miss Gannon’s performance qf ’*Flcit} ’ is
also spoken of as being perfect which we can
easily befleye; at last accounts they with some
modem pieces were running the old Sterling
English Comedies, “She Stoops to Conquer,”
“Love and Money,” “How she loves Him,”
“ Central Park’l etc.”
Niulo’b Garden is running Maggie Mitchell
with “Fanchon, the Cricket," as her leading
piece.
Wjster Garobn. Barton Hill is running
a piece called “The Grey Lady of Peuarvon.”
The papers criflcipe jt sharply and say
it is the weakest thing Tom Taylor has ever
written. Effie Germon and Mrs. J. W. Wal
lock are in the Company.
Broadwav Theatre. Mr John Owens has
resumed his personations of “Solon Shimrie”
here.
Olympic. Mrs John Wood has made a
hit with the spectacle of “The Sleeping Beau
ty" which is said to b? quite a miracle of fai
ry scenic effecls.
The two Bowerys are doing the
sensation dramas, and the Minstrel Halls are
doing their Customary Burnt Cork Opera all
to splendid Houses.
Barncm has hU Museum ever toll of some
thing attractive—just’ now his “Chicken
Show is over, ands he is undecided what
to do next, but is in eager negotiation for the
dress of Mrs. Davis in which Jeff, tried to
get away from Wilson’s sharp-eyed cavalry.
It will be worth a small fortune to him if he
gets it:
Fhe Havel F amilt, who have been the

in the “ regular succession ” of old legiti
mate plays.
There are two Minstrel Bands also doing
well here.

[From Taylor in Manchester Guardian ]
John Leech.—Exhibition of his original
SKETCHES NOW OFFERED FOR SALE. —Messrs.
Christie's rooms have been crowded for sever
al days by persons anxious to have a look at
tbe original sketches of Leech, with whose
designs in the wood impressions of Fund.
they have been so lonz familiar. The exhi
bition consist of three parts. A considerable
number of water colored drawings form a
range above the rest all round the room, af
fording proof of what one had often heard
regarding the sketcher’s ambition to be a colo
rist. Unhappily they amount only to a dem
onstration ot his invincible inaptitude in that
behalf. Ido not remember having ever seen
anything much worse in their way. They
are said to be enlargements by the well
known mechanical process of printing on an
elactic surface from the small size drawings
of which we have seen so many, during the
last twenty-years. But the coloring is al
most invariably flat,- dull inartistic, anti in
short stupid; and the only sensation one
brings away from beholding them is that of
anger at the want of judgment displayed in
thus parading them in public.
The next class of Leech’s pi eductions are
those by whose imprints he may be best re
membered, the series of political caricatures
as they originally came from the prolific pen
cil. As striking and suggestive materials for
study, they are no doubt highly valuable.—
But in very few instances is the effect they
produce at all equal to that of the woodcut.
There is also an irresistible sense of sadness
caused by looking at this collection of dead
jokes. In nine cases .out of ten tbe fun lias
all evaporated; and it requires a considerable
effort of political recollection to get near the
point of view requisite to appreciate their
meaning. Leech had humor, not wit; aud
his political humor consisted in giving, by a
few strokes, embodiment to the most gener
ally obvious absurdity ot the hour. The
foolery or the foppery passes away; and is
obliterated by the ten thousand like fooleries
Wd fopperies that come after; and the pleas
antry that wp fecpgnize of a Wednesday
eyening ten years ago has wholly fled when
we try back upon it. The grotesque atti
tudes remain, ahd the extravagant dispropor
tions; but that is all.
Spare rem§rfcab}e exceptions indeed there
are, where the Caricature contains & criticism
on character instead of an embodiment of a
mere passing grin or blunder. “A slight
liberty taken with a weU-kftowu statue” and
“In training for the session” are inimitable
illustrations of this. In the former Lord
Brougham is portrayed in the attitude of
Apollo Belvide, with a Bond street hat and
other accessories of dress of the time when
he aspired to the ro|e pf a fascinating man
about town. In the latter he is described in
boxing dress, with gloves on, sparring with
the lay figure Which is his own image. The
learned Lord’s features it is impossible to
mistake or miss ; but in the many sketches
of Lord Palmerston I did not recognize one
that could be called a successful hit as a like
ness. After all, Leech’s caricatures do not
deserve to be named with those of H. B. The
third portion of the collection offered for
sale, as it is tbe largest, is by tar tbe best,
{t eoijsispi pf g multitude ot origiual sketches
of social life that baye cotfiriflutefl plainly to
the popularity of the journal in whose pages
their transcripts appeared.' They are a per
fect wilderness of grace, originality, aqd
kindly expression of feeling. It was here
that the artist really excelled; and for my
part I am only sorry thtyt to these alone pub
lic attention has not been called,
The Liverpool Post says that “J. Wilkt s
Booth was the first actor to whose Miss
Bateman ever played Juliet , and so good was
he in the part that Mr. Bateman had serious
thoughts of engaging him forth ejeune premier
characters, ana bringing him to England to
act with Miss Bateman. Some little trifle in
terrupted this engagement, which, had it
been carried oqt, might perhaps have preven
ted the execution of a leaf by ope of
the greatest men of the time has fallen a yic
tim, and might, have influenced the welfare of
a hemisphere.”
The light draught monitor faka which has
been under way for a number of months, at
Kalghn s Point, Philadelphia, was launched
on Thursday. She is 225 feet long, 45 feet
breadth of beam, and nine feet eight inches
depth oi hold. She is constructed as to ar
mor, &c., in the same manner as the moni
tors constructed at Chester. Kensington
and other places. The gunboat Swatara will
be launched at tile Philadelphia Navy-yard
early next week. She is about 1,000 tons,
and is built for speed, long and narrow, with
a sharp bow.

SEVEN-THIRTY LOAN.
THlia SERIES,
TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS.
By authority of the Secretaryof the Treasury, the
undersigned, the General Subscription Agent for the
sale of United States Securities, offers to tbe public the
third series ol Treasury Notes, bearing sevep and
three-tenths per cent, interest per annum, known as
the
SEVEN-THIRTY LOAN
These notes are issued under date of July 15,1965,
and are payable three years from that date In cuiren-,
cy, or are convertible at the option of the holder into
U. S. FIVE-TWENTY SIX PER CENT.
GOLD-BEARING BONDS.
These Bonds are now worth a handsome premium,
and are exempt, as are all the Government Bonds,
from State, County, and Municipal taxation, which adds
from one. to three per cent, per annum to their vulue,
cording to the rate levied upon other property Ta*
interest is payable semi-annually by coupons attached
to each note, which ipay be cut off and sold to any
bank or banker.
The interest at 7.30 per cent, amounts t«
One cent per day on a $6.0 pate.
Two cents per day on a SIOO not#.
Ten cents per day on a SSOO note.
Twenty cents per day on a SI,OOO note.
One Dollar per day on a SO,OOO note.
Notes of ail the denominations named will be prompt
ly furnished upon receipt of subscriptions.
The Notes of this Third Series are precisely similai
in form and privileges to the Seven-Thirties already
sold, except that the Government reserves to itself the
option of paying interest in gold coin at C per cent,, in
stead of 6 3-10ths in currency. Subscribers will deduct
the interest in eurrencyupto July 15th, at the time
when they subscribe.
The delivery of the notes of this third series of the
Seven-thirties will commence cm the Ist of June, and
will he made promptly sod continuously after that
date.
The slight change made in the conditions of this
THIRD SERIES affects only the matter of Interest,
The payment In gold, if made, will he equivalent to
the currency interest of the higher rate.
The return to specie payments, in the event of which
only will the option to pay the interest in Gold be avail
ed of, would so reduce and equalize prices that pui
chases made with six per cent, in gold would be fully
equal to those made with seven and three-tenths per
cent, in currency. This is
THE ONLY LOAN IN MARKET
Now oßered by the Government, and it* superior ad
vantages make it the
GREAT POPULAR LOAN OF THE PEOPLE
Less than $230,000,000 of the Loan authorized by
Congress are now on the market. This amount, at the
rate at which it Is being absorbed, will all W subserv
ed for within sixty days, when the notes will undoubt
edly command a premium, as has uniformly been me
case on closing the subscriptions to other Loans.
In order that citizens of every town and section o
the country may be offorded facilities for taking 1 '
Loan, the National Banks, State Banks, and Pri.se-
Bankers throughout the eountry have generally a; ree
to receive subscriptions at par. Subscribers will sc <' c
their own agents, in whom they have confidence, an
who only are to be responsible for the delivery of
note) for which they receive orders.
