Washwoto.n, November i'i, 1803 \
Major General A". Banka, commaruli/ig the
DepartnuM of the (htlf, Dromuiville, J’eteas :
General—l have received ami Bubtnitt.-d to
the President your three dispatches of the fitb.
7th and Bth respectively.
1 h great pleasure in congratulating you
upui. your successful landing and occupation
upor 1.0 Rio Grande, which is all the n. re
gratifying because it was effected at a mom -t
of ap)>arently critical interest in the natee c
cause. You have already found that the confu
sion reuniting from civil and foreign war in
Mexico offers seductions for military enterprise.
1 have, t 1 refore, to inform you of the 1 xaet
condii, . .nr relations towards that repub
,ent time. We are on twins of
n;., ■ i.iendsbip. and maintaining diplo
i .lions with the republic of Mexico. —
ud that country as the theater of a for
eltr. ir. mingled with civil strife. In this
conflict we take no |>art; anil, on the contrary,
w practice absolute non-intervention and non
interference.
In command of the frontier it will devolve
on you. as far ns practicable consistently with
your other functions, to prevent aid or supplies
being given from the and nited States in Texas
against any enemies you may encounter there,
whether domestic or foreign. Nevertheless,
you will not enter any part of Mexico unless it
be temporarily, and then clearly necea arv for
the protection of your own lives against ag
gression from the Mexican border. 3cm can
iv-Mime no authority in Mexico hi protect the
citizens of the United States there, much 1.
to redress the wrongs or injuries committed
against the United States or her citizens, wheth
er those wrongs and injuries were committed
on our videos the border or the other, if ion
sills iinil their positions unsafe on the Mexican
side of the border let them leave the country
rather than invoke the protection of your
forces.
'l'beae directions result from the fixed deter
mination of the President to avoid any depart
lire from lawful neutrality and any uniieceessa
ry an 1 unlawful enlargement of the present
field of war, but at toe same time will lie ex-
pected to observe military and political events
as they occur in Mexico, and to communicate
all that shall Ih: important for this Government
to understand concerning them. It is hardly
necessary to say that any suggestions you may
think proper to give for the guidance of the
Government in its relations towards Mexico
will he considered with that profound respect
which is always paid to the opinions which you
express. In making this communication I have
endeavored to avoid entering into the sphere
of your military operations, and to confine my
self simply to that in which you are in contact
with the oplitical movements now going on in
Mexico.
1 am, General, your obt sorv't.

Sir: Your dispatch of October 2(i, No. 47,
lias been received and submitted to the I’n si
dent, and you will accept his giatefiil acknowl
edgements for the very interesting .information
and ju iicious observations which it contains
concerning the present condition of Mexico.
In reply to an inquiry contained iii your dis
patch, I have to inform you that in the absence
of further instructions from this department,
you will he expected to remain in the sai*e re
lations as now toward the Government of the
United States and Mexico. If for any cause
your residence at the city of Me.vco shall lie
come intolerable or seriously inconvenient you
will be at liberty to report to any other part of
the country or to return to the United States.
No contingency is now anticipated in which you
will he expected to address yourself to any
other Government than the one to which you
are accredited.
In the publishul diplomatic correspondence
of the Washington Government for 18015, we
find the following. Seward takes total leave
of “the Monroe doctrine,” and (lings the door
open for the freest interference ol European na
tions in American affaire. •
KKI..VrI“fJS OF FRANCE TOWARD MEXICO.
The subject from which I propose to remark
in the second place, (says Mr. Seward) is the
relation of France toward Mexico—The ladled
.states hold in regard to Mexico the same prin
ciples that they hold in regard toother nations
They have neither a light nor a disposition !o
intervene l>y force in the internal affairs of
Mexico, whether to*establish and maintain a
republic or even a domestic Government tla-ie
or to overthrow an imperial or foreign one, if
Mexico rheosc to establish or accept it. The
United States have neither the rigid nor dispo
sition to intervene by force on either side in
the lament-hie war which is now going on be
tween Franco and Mexico. <»n the contrary,
they practice in regard to Mexico, in every
phase of that war. the non-intervention which
they rtqui.ro all Foreign rowers to observe in
regard to the. United States.
MAXIMTI.I.IVX AND THE MEXICAN I'llUONi; -THE
OUKSTION OF IIIS ItKI'OONITIOX.
Mr. Seward, under date October 2(5. 1 Stiff re
lilies to a dispatch from Minister Dayton as
follows :
Sir- 1 have the honor to acknowledge the
reception of your dispatch of the Dth inst.,
which brings "me the views expressed by M
Drouyn do l.hnys, concerning the situation in
Mexico. Various considerations have induced
the President to avoid taking any part in the
speculative debates bearing on that situation
which have been carried on in the various-cap
itals of Europe, as well as those of America.
A determination to err on the side of strict neu
trulity, if we err at all in a war which is car
ried on petween the two nations, with which
the United States maintain relations of amity
and friendship, was prominent among the con
siderations to which 1 have thus referred. The
United States nevertheless, when invited by
France or Mexico, cannot omit to express them
selves with perfect frankness upon the new in
cident as they occur in the progress of that war
M. de Lbuys now speaks of an election which
he expects to be held in Mexico, and to result
in the clioie of his imperial highness the
Prince Maximilian of Austria to the Emperor
of Mexico. We learn from other sources that
the prince has declared his willingness to ae
cept the imperial throne in Mexico on three
conditions, viz :
First. 'I hut lie sluill be called to it by (he
universal sutVrngc of the Mexican nation.' 2d.
That he shall receive indispensable pirantees
for the independence and iutesrity of the pro
posed empire, lid That the head of the fami
ly, the Emperor of Austria, shall acquiesce.
Heferring to tliese facts M. Drouyn do i.huys
intimates that an early acknowledgement of the
proposed empire by the 1 nited States would he
oonvenient to e ranee, relieving her sooner than
might be possible, mnl<n it., oi. anei I .'.
from her troubles. complications with Mex
ico. Happily the French Government inis not
been left uni' formed that in the opinion of the
United States the permanent establishment of
a foreign and monarchical form it Government
in Mexico will be found neither easy nor *.si
rable You will inform M Hrottyn do I .buys
that this opinion reinJins unchanged.
On the other hand, tiie l nited State's cannot
anticipate the action of Mexico, nor have thpy
the least pm pose or desire to interfere in their
tiroceedings. or control or interfere with their
fro ■ choice, or disturb them in the enjoyment
of whatever institution of government they
may. in the exercise of an absolute freedom, es
tablish. It is proper, also, that M. 1 Ironyn de
I thuya should be informed that the l nited
States continues to regard Mexico the theatre
of a war which has not yet ended in the sub
version of die Government long existing there,
with which the l nited States remain in the re
lation of peace and sincere fr endship, and that
for this reason the United States are not now
at liberty to consider the question of recogniz
ing a government which, in the further chances
of war, may come into Us place. The United
States, consistently with their principles, can
do no otherwise than leave the destinies of
Mexico in the keeping of her own people, and
reocunize their sovereignty and independence 1
in whatever form they themselves shall choose
that this sovereignty' and" independence shall
lac manifested.

from General Grant, in which it is stated that
the emancipation proclamation and the arm

of the volunteers who are re-enlisting for un
other term of ‘three years or during lh ■ war.’”
This, it is added, •'i-iibaiyjcs the cost-of the
war; it sends up the premium of gold; it rend
ers more urgent and imperative the necessity
of pressing the struggle to nn early conclu

promptly increasing taxation.” 11 seems that

was not.” Other deficiencies are also noted,
sufficient to show that the effort to collect an
adequate tax proved abortive. Greeley wants

condition as critical, and I hasten, in view ot
possible contingencies, to lay before your Excel
lency. for your private consideration, my
gcner.L views concerning the existing state
of ' ti.e rebellion, although they do not
strictly c-nino within the scope of my official
L.ri 'These views amount to convictions
tml .:.e deeply impressed upon my mind and
heart.
“If ec.-.-ivn !.-■ successful other dissolutions
arc cloiuiy to be >eeu in the future. Let neith
er military disaster, political faction, nor for
eign war shake your settled purpose to enforce
tbe equal operation of lire laws of the United
States up< iu the people of every State.
“The lime has come when the Government
jnust determine upon a civil and military pol
icy covering the whole ground of our national
trouble. The responsibility of determining,
and declaring arid supporting such civil and
military po-icy, and of directing the whole
course of uatioaol affairs iu regard to the rebel
hoii. must now be assumed amt exeerised by
you or our cause will be lost. The Constitution
giv. s you power sufficient even for the present
ern ole exigency.
1 his rebellion has assumed the cliar.octe of
win, am. a - Mich it should be regarded, and t
siieu and be conducted upon the highest princi
ples known to Christi,in civilization. It should
be a war looking to the subjugation of the peo
pie oi any .State in any event. It should not
be a war upon population, but against, armed
forces and political organizations. Neither con
nsc-.it,ion ol property, political executions of
persons, territorial organizations of States, or
forcible abolition of slavery should be contem
plated for a moment. In prosecuting the war
all private propet y and unarmed persons should
be strictly protected, subjected only to the ne
■eessiiy ot'military operation. All private
property taken for military use should be paid
or receipted for : pillage and waste should be
treated as high crimes ; all unnecessary tres
pass stornlv prohibited, and offensive demeanor
by the military toward citizens promptly re
buked. Military arrests should not be tolera
t'd except in pla os were active hostilities ex
ist, ami oaths not-required by enactments c-on
slUu'.ionally made should be neither demanded
nor received.- Military government should be
confined to the pres* rration of public order and
the protection of political right. Military pow
or should not be allowed to interfere with the-
relations o! servitude, either by supporting of
impairing the authority of the master, except
for repressing disorder, as in •other cases
Slaves contraband under the act of Congress,
seeking military protection, should receive it.
The right of the Government to appropriate
permanently to its own service claims ol slave,
tabor should bo rsserted and the right of the
owner to compensation therefor should be re
cognized. Till principle might, he extended
upon the grounds of military necessity and se
curity to a!! t’ue slaves within a particular State,
tbit; working manumission in such State ;
and in Missouri, perhaps in Western Virginia
also, and possibly even in Maryland.(he ex
pediency of such a measure is only a qucSlion
of time.
“A system of policy thus constitutional’ and
conservative and pervaded by the influences of
Christianity and freedom, would receive the
support of almo t all truly loyal men, would
deeply impress the rebel masses and all foreign
nations, and it might be humbly hoped that it
would commend itself to the favor of the Al
mighty.
‘•Unless the principles governing the future
conduct of our struggle shall he made known
and approved, the effort to obtain requisite
forces wiii he almost hopeless. A declaration
of radical views, especially'upon slavery, will
rapidly disintegrate our present Stmies.
“The policy of the government.must bo sup
ported by concentration of military power.—
The nalii nal (bices should not be dispersed in'
expeditions, posts of occupation, and numer
ous armies, but should be mainly collected into
masses and brought to bear upon the armies of
toe Confederate States. Those armies thor
oughly defeated, (he political structure which
they support would soon cease to exist.
“ In carrying out any system of policy which
you may fo-ni. you will ri quire a coihmander
ia chief of the army, one who possesses your
confidence, understands your viqws, and is
competent to execute your orders by directing
the military forces of the nation to the accom

do not ask that place tor myself. lam willing

Tilt: Suite, KSWiCK AND DIFFICULTY.-
The question of the Dutehies of Schloswick
find Holstein seems likely to disturb thejieace
of Europe, and bring on the collison which the
Polish question'tailed to produce. The pow
ers of that country appear to bo arming and
getting ready for the coming battle. Unless
there is a backing down from the position ta
ken by some of them, war must follow. The
Wilmington Journal gives the annexed sketch
ot the matter :
The -Hchleswick and Holsten Dutehies are at
tached to the crown of Denmark, but not, us
they contend.-to the Kingdom ol Denmark, the
King ot Denmark only exercising authority in
Holstein or 8c 1 ieswick, as Duke'of Holstein or
Duke of Schleswick At any' rate the rule of
succession is diffore t from that prevailing iu
D mmark proper, as in the Dutehies the Salic
law prevails, which prohibits succession in the
female line, as is th s case in Hanover, by rea
son of which, on the accession of Queen Vic
toria to the English crown, that of Hanover
became separated from it. and devolved upon
one of the late King's brothers.
It becoming apparent during t lie life of the
late King of Denmark that ill biin the direct
line was likely to fail, he made a decree to ren
iler the succession in his different possessions,
the Duchies as well as the Kingdom proper,
uniform. A member of a junior branch ol the
house of Augustonburg was agreed upon as his
successor, by' a convention hold in London,*md
this uc ion was accepted by the Danish Parlia
ment; but the people of the Dutehies contend
that it was not submitted to them, nor consent
ed to by them. They with the German Confed
eration, of winch they'chiim TOlffi it part;'sup
port the right of l’riuce Frederick, tiie head of
the elder branch of the house of Auguston l
burg, and the German Federal forces are pre
*pair-d to enter tiie Dutehies to enforce their
rights as members of the German body as op
posed to the consolidation proposed by Den
mark, This involves the powers who were
parties to the convention of London, especially
England and Russia. It seems that hostilities
are inevitable, as neither Denmark nor the Ger
manic bod_v will yield an inch.
These Dutehies have been long attached to the
crown of Denmark, although strongly German
-1c in character. Holstien became a dependen
cy of Denmark in 14511. During the revolu
tion year of 1318. Sieswick and Holstien re
volted from Denmark to join the German Em
pire, but us licit project fell through, so did
the revolt in the Dutehies.
Eoai - Union Convention,— Lincoln, as our

Tiiti Dark Days of the Revolution.— Some I
of our people have, during the past few months j
given away to despondency. To them all is
gloom. 'To Ahem every thing appears dark, j
Tltev see no ray of hope in the future. No i
silver lining to the threatening cloudy which
now o'ershadows our land. To all such, we
would say, look at the past. Read the trials
and sufferings of jdl nations who have obtain
ed their liberties by the sword. Who have
purchased their freedom by the blood of their
sons. Our experience thus far has been bitter
indeed, but not half so bitter as the experience
of those whose acts are ow named in history
As we read their recorded deeds of bravery
let us renew our struggle for our rights with
the invincible determination of the heroes of
cays gone by.
The Mobile Tribune, iu referring to the past,
gives the annexed summary, which should fur"
nish our people with much instruction :
In February 1780, of the preceding year, a
British naval and laud force, under Arbuthnot
and Clinton, appeared before Charleston and
laid siege to it. The officer in command of the
revolutionary forces at that place was General
Benjamin Lincoln, who was next year appoin
ted Secretary of War, and held that post for
three years, after which he retired to his farm.
llis means of defence were quite inadequate,
but he made a gallant though vain resistance.
On the totty second day of the attack, ite was
compelled to surrender the city and bis whole
army.
In August, 1780, after the ioss of Charleston
and the State. Gen. Gates, with an army of
4,000 men, was so utterly routed by Cornwallis
that not a fourth of the army could be got to
gether again, and the Southern Slates were
iei't apparently defenceless. Sumter and Ma-
rion Shelby and Savior, however, kept up a
guerrilla warfare against the British, aid in
October tiie two latter chiefs deleated 1,000 to-
nes under Ferguson, taking most of them pris
on.:! sand banging some of them ' as traitors.
In the meantime—in the preceding month of
September, that is—the treason of Arnold was
discovered, lie having sold lthnself to tile British
for $50,000 and h Geneial's commission, and
undertaken to deliver up to them “West Point
and the other fortresses in the Highlands.”—
At the North a French fleet and an army were
blockaded at Newport by a superior British
fleet. Want of pay and rations drove some
Pennsylvania regiments into open revolt, and
Congress had to redress some of their grievan
ces to get rid of this sad clement. Then some
New Jersey troops followed their example ;
and their attempts had to be crushed, and a
few of the ringleaders executed.
But all this neither dispirited our forefathers
nor led to the altimate loss of the cause for
which they fought— cause of freedom.
What is there in our condition to compare with
theirs, although we have not yet to grieve for
having had an Arnold among ns.
And yet at the ctid of (bat same s*ear 17Sffi
Gen. Greene, who had succeeded Gates, soon
mad ethe British (eel h >w far they were from hav
ingaccoinplbbed the work they bad undertaken.
They had got Georgia and.South Oaro'ina,. and
now they made sure of getting Virginia and
North Carolina. ’I he traitor Arnold, with 1,000
men, mostly torles, was sent to plunder and de
vastate and murder on the Chesapeake and the
James river. lie was afterwards joined by
Gen. Phillips, from New York. They of course
caused terrible suffering but did little harm to
tiie cause, for the inscensed sufferers then en
listed in it with au energy which never tired or
ceased until the surrender of Cornwallis in
Yorktown, the virtual end of the first revolu
tionary war. The first event of noto after
Greene’B assumption of the command was the
battle of Cowpens, on the 18th of January,
1781. Here Cornwallis had posted 1,100 of his
Fght troops under Tarleton ; and Greene sent
half his f rce, under Morgan, to attack these.
The result was the utter defeat of ihe enemy,
with the loss of 100 killed and wounded, 500
prisoners, 800 muskets, 2 field pieces, 85 hag
gag-i wagons, and 100 dragoon horses. Mor
gan’s loss war only 12 killed and wounded.
The Plunderers at Work. —The papers op
posed to the Lincoln administration at the
North are filled with accounts of the plunder
ing deeds of the great freedom-shrieking pat ty.
Uncle Sam is not only getting plucked, but
well plucked. The amounts illegally pocketed
vary from hundreds to millions of dollars.—
Occasionally an Abolition paper belches forth
a little thunder against the rascality of the
members of its party, but generally the acts of
the defaulters are passed over in silence by
them. A Washington paper, however, more
bold than some of Hs contemporaries speaks
out quite plainly. Here is what it says about
the deeds of Lincoln’s pets •
The infamous records crowd upon us in such
numbers that we might till our paper with
them, but it is a painful subject, for our read
ers. The people are robbed n’ght and day by
their appointed and supposed trusty servants.
The knavish crew arq,at their work of plunder
in every locality, and the country is as helpless
to prevent it as would be a sick boy confronted
by a band of highwaymen.
We observe that serious frauds on the Gov
ernment have been discovered at tiie Brook
lyn navy yard, and a board of officers havq un
dertaken their investigation. So it goes ;
crime and corruption everywhere; and these
are tlxe legitimate fruits of Abolitionism. For
the 4th of March, 1865, one half of the Aboli
tion party may compose special committees or
boards for investigating the larcenies, grand
and petty committed by the other half. The
demoralization is spreading and sweeping along
lik i lire on a prairie. When the administration
ordered.the wholesale seizure of all dispatches,
old and new, on file in their telegraph offices
and the violation of their security, as also that
of private correspondence in the post offices and
elsewhere, which had in all past time been re
garded as unappioachable, an incurable wound
was indicted upon what little morality' was to
be found among its lanatical followers.. The
seeds were sown, and the harvest which soon
begun is yielding an awful interest.
Life Under Bu'lers Rule —A gentleman just
from Portsmou h, Va gives the annexed picture
of life under liutlers rulo, and the position of
matters in that city.
There are in Portsmouth and its vicinity
about 3.000 soldiers, mostly negroes, command
ed by Yankee officers, who seek every oppor
tunity to oppress and annoy the “Secesh,’’ as
they call the loyal citizens. Neaily all the cit
izens, both male and female, have been forced
to take the oath of allegiance to the Lincoln
Government. The few who have refused to
take it are constantly watched by the negroes,
disloval citizens—of whom there aie some—
and the Yankee detectives, and feel that they
are constantly liable to be arrested and shut
up in prison. No sort of protection is afforded
to their personal property and they are at the
mercy of the friends around them. While our
informant was in the city, a negroe threw his
arms around the neck of a respectable white
lardy, wtrowrarpassing"tlie street, and kissed lue.
She reported him at headquarters and was ask
ed if she could identify him. She readily an
swered in the affirmative. Ue was brought up
and identified by the lady, when the inquiry
was made if she had taken the oath of allegi
ance. A negative answer being given, she was
told to .leave the house, as she was not entitled
to any protection. The pe son from whom we
deiive this information, walked the streets of
Portsmouth, and says that scarcely a familiar
face could be seen, although before the war
they were well acquainted in the city. The
doors and blinds in the houses occupied by loy
al persons are all closed, and a Virginia lady
was rarely to be seen in the streets.
General Getty, whe se headquarters have been
at Rowers' Hill, and General B irnes, of Norfolk,*
have both been removed. General Hickman,
a full blooded abolitioirst, has taken the phico
of Getty, and General Wilde, (oft Elizabeth City,
N. C. notoriety,) succeeded Barnes.
A British View of tije War.—A late num
ber of the North British Review contains ait
able artice on the War in America by Edmund
Buck, Esq. After laying down the lawful ob
ject and extent of the war, the writer concludes
as follows:
“These reasonable limits (of justifiable war)
i are now touched, if not already overpassed by
the Federal Government; and that whereas the !
Confederate States dec'aie themselves desirous
of peace, if only their independence were ac
knowledged, the war has become, or wiil soon
be, worthy of consideration as wrought. Tiie
Union does not any longer exist in any sense ; !
or if, indeed, a device might still be found for j
restoring it—which is quite possible—a Cacti- ■
tious combination' which would bind together
the most intense hatreds, harbored purposes of
revenge, a bundle of fire brands, poisoned ar
rows, blood-stained scalping knives and loaded
shells, would show what materials it is made
of in the very next turn of national affairs.’ 7 j

a loiter which has reached that city through
the Federal tines from Knoxville The writer
is a man of much intelligence, lie has been
. a consistent Unionist, and when his property
was seized and wantonly destroyed, and his
family were driven forth to starve, he appealed
| to the Federal General for protection. In bis
letter tie states that the general replied) with
ail oath, in this language : Not one of you is
’ as much for the Union as to fight for Lincoln.
’ You claim protection from lay soldiers. I have
not come here to protect you. My object is to
j lay waiSte and destroy your country, and there
shall not he left enough to feed your people,
B ’nor to enable you to make ano her crop. 1
. am resolved that there shall be no necessity
resting on me to leave even ga»ri
