MAXIMILIAN’S PROCLAMATION.
On tlie 2Sth ult, Maximilian issued the
following proclamation :
Mexicans :—You have desired me.-—
our noble nation, by a spontaneous ma*
jority have elected me henceforth to watch
over your destinies.' I deliver myself up
with joy to this call. However painful it
may have been for me to say farewell for
ever to my native country and to my kins
died, I have already dono.it, fully per
suaded that the Almighty has called me,
through you, to the noble mission of con
centrating all my might and soul to a peo„
pie who, worn out by disastrous combats
apd warfare, sincerely desire peace and
piospeiifcy a people who, having secured
theii independence, wish now to enjoy the
bruits of civilization and true progress.
The mutual confidence with which we
aie animated, you and I, will be crowned
with a brilliant success, if we remain al
ways uuite'd, to valorously defend the
gieat principles which are the only true
and durable foundations of States ; the
principles of inviolable and immutable
justice, if equally under the law, the path
is open to every one to all careers and
social positions ; the complete personal
iibeity, as rightly understood, securing
with it the protection of the individual and
of property, the development of the ua
lion ? wealth, improvement in agricul-
tuie, mines and industry, the establishment
of means of communication for an exten
sive commerce, and finally the developi-
ment of education itiall its relations with
the public interest. The blessings of
Heaven, and with them progress and lib
erty, will assuredly not fail us, if all the
factions, allowing themselves to he led by
a strong and loyal government, shall unite
to realize the. object which I have indicat
ed, and il we always continue to be ani
mated by the religions sentiments by which
our bqautitni country has distinguished
its seUneven during its most unhappv peri
ods.
J he civilizing Gag ol Trance, raised so
high by her no hit- Luiperor, to whom you
owe toe regeneration of order aurl peace
represents these same principles. This is
what the chief of his forces said to you a
tew months since in sincere and disin
terested language—as a forerunner of a
new era ot happiness. Kvery country
''hick has wished to have a future has
come to be great and strong by follow ing
this load united and firm. God will give
us strength to reach .the grade of pros
perity which we desire. Mexicans ! the
future of your beautiful country' is in your
hands’; as to myself-l offer you a sincere
wilt, loyalty, and a firm intention to re
spect your la\\;s, and to cause them to be
respected with an invariable authority.
God and your confidence constitute my
strength.* The banner of independence is
my symbol, iny device; you already know
“equality and justice ; I shall be faithful
to it all my life. It is my duty to grasp
the sceptre and the sword of honor with
firmness. -It becomes the inevitable task
of the Empress to consecrate to the coun
try all the noble sentiments of a Christian
virtue and all the sweetness of a tender
mother. Let us unite to gain the common
end; let us forget past shadows ; let us bu
ry' the odium of faction, and the aurora of
peace and merited happiness will shine
again radiantly over the new empire.
MAXIMILIAN.

What Richmond Has Given up.
A Richmond paper very justly observes
that what Richmond has given up to aid
the Confederate Government in the prose
cution of this war, has never been rightly
estimated nor appreciated outside of Vir
ginia. Her public buildings and institu
tions have been mainly monopolized bv
the general government, of course with
the consent of the authorities, for what
would not the citizens of Richmond give
vf it were asked of them ? This commbuc
ed with the transfer of the seat of Governs
meut from Montgomery to Richmond.—
Firsf, the State Capitol was occupied by
the Confederate Congress ; the Mechanics
Institute by the War Department; the
City' Postoffice by the Treasury Depart
ment. The Mechanics’ Institute has no
longer an existence, and the Postoffice is
removed to more contracted quarters un
der the “Spottswood.” Since the army of
"occupation” came our hotels have been
pressed to .supply other Government ac
commodations ; courts martial sit in our
churches ; committees iu our school hous
es. Yankee prisoners cram our ware
houses; fhe wounded fill our dwellings;
the refugees are quartered up on us by the
thousands, and the oniginal citizens are
pushed into the smallest possible corner.
We do not make these assertions in a spir
it of fault finding ; far from it. Richmond
does not murmur, while the grand old
mother of States and statesmen utters not
a groan, no matter how much foe and
friend trample upou and tear her fair bo
som. She battles and suffers in hope ; and
looks for the day of her deliverance.

An Incident.—The following incident
from an article in the Atlanta Register, or,
the situation iu Rome and vicinity, is worth
recording :
A straggling Y’ankee, armed with an
Austrian rille, was seen to pass an old
gentleman’s house early one morning,
cruising his way towards Rome. The old
man was informed that the Yankee had
just gone by, and that he was- all alone.—
lie says that either patriotism, or the dev
il, or some desperate thing took possession
of him, and he vowed that no one Yankee
should go by' his house, he had neither
gun, pistol or pocket knife, hut mounting
his horse started in pursuit. Getting up
pretty near ho halloed “stop stranger—
for the Lord’s sake let me have your gun
a few minuets—the dogs are just killing
my sheep over the hill like blazes.” Ihe
old man’s earnest manner at once disarm
ed the Y’ankee of all suspicion and of his
rifle at the same time. >5ays old man as
he took it, “is it loaded V’ “Yes.” "Will
it shoot ?” “Yes.” “Well, it’s all right my
friend—you are the dog 1 was looking for
—’bout face,” and he marched him nine
miles without stopping, and delivered him
to'our soldiers. This.incident is literally
and strictly true.
Sowing and Reaimnc.— I’liere seems to
he a sort of Heaven-ordered law of se
([tience indicated in the spirit of the Gold
en Rule: If vi e do right to others, they
will, iu the great aggregate of our lives,
do right to us The merciful will obtain
mercy ; the ‘protector of t.Oe endangered
will be shielded; the generous wiii he
perserved from want. Ok f he contrary,
a man’s sin is sure to find uim out
—pel haps, almost sure to become ins pun
isiiment. "li you find « man disposed to
complain of the coldness of toe world,’
sayp Dr. Gliapiu, “be sure you will fine
lh;tl he iias never hrotighr any thing into
the w i M i. ’. ana it, fait is a personal
a.i'ip !•! ice set in the midst of it. It y ou
find a man vviniXompiaiUS that tbe worid
is all bu_-e and hollow, tap him, and he
v\ i, 1 probably sound base and hollow.
And so in the other way, a kind man will
probably find kindness every where about
him. The merciful man, as a general
thing, will obtain mercy, lie who has
always had a kind excuse for others, who
has looked at the-brightest side of the case;
he iviio has rendered, his pardon and his
help whenever he could, who has nfcver
brought hi's fellow-Ynau into any strait
by reason of not helping him, will find
that the mercy which ho lias bestowed
flows back upon him in a full and sponta
neous spring. Ho will ipalie a merciful
world by the mercy l )e himself shows.
Gen. Lee’s Daughter.—A correspon
dent of the Biblical Recorder, writing ol
the Winder Hospital near Richmond, says
it covers over sixty acres ot ground, lias
thirty’ surgeons, three chaplains, six divis
ions, and capacity to accommodate three
thousand patients. Five ol the divisions
are appropriated exclusively to the North
Carolinians. He adds :
One very pleasing feature of this, and
in fact all the hospitals of Richmond, l’e-
tersburg, Lychburg and Charlottesville, is
the large element of femalqs one finds
among the attendants. Some of the very
first women jn the country’ are matrons
and nurses iu these hospitals, and we found
in Richmond, for instance, some of the
most refiued and beautiful young ladies
of the city daily in the hospitals , not go
ing there once or twice a week, birt every
day', and attaching themselves to particu
lar wards and divisions, that they might
work to better advantage." A short time
since Gen. Lee’s daughter was writing a
letter fora wounded soldier in the Wind
er. “ Tell my mother,” said the brave
boy, “that just as I fell I saw that grand
old man, Gen. Lee.” A bystander asked,
“ Do you know who that is writing for
you? That’s Gen. Lee’s daughter.” We
may imagine that soldier’s eyes opened
slightly. Mrs. Gen. Bragg is also oiteu to
he seen there ministering to our suffering
heroes.
The Self Denial of the Children.—
When therecent series of bloody engage
ments between General Lee and the ene
my commenced, the children connected
with the school of the Hebrew Synagogue,
on Eleventh street, had saved up a con
siderable sum towards purchasing delica
cies for a contemplated pic-nic in the
suburbs. When the suffering began to
come in on the trains, the good hearted
Rabbi put the question to his charge,
“Children, will you forego your excursion
and make some of these wounded more
comfortablo with your fund, or will you
have your excursion and forget the suff
ering ?” The children were unanimously
in favor of giving up their pleasure excur
sion, and the day that was to have been
spent iu the woods was speut in distrihu
ting to the wounded in the hospitals the
delicacies purchased with the excursion
fund.—Richmond Examiner.

Dr. .Tesbee Boring.—A letter has been
received from th is gentleman, from Rich
mond, Texas, in which he reports himself
to be in good health. Dr. Boring has
held the position of Chief Surgeon in the
Confederate army in Texas since the com
mencement of the war, until just before
his letter was written. He speaks cheer-
ingly °f our prospects out there, and says
provisions are plentiful. lie states that
great revivals are in progress in Texas,
especially in the army. We take great
pleasure in making this mention of Dr.
Boring, as it corrects the impression which
is abroad that he is dead.— Columbus En

When Missolonghi wa* beleagured by
the Turkish forces, Marco Bozzaris com
manded a garrisou of about twelve hun
dred men, who had barely fortifications
enough to form breastworks. Intelligence
reached the Greek leaders that the Egyp
tian army, under Ismail Pacha, was about
to form a junction with the formidable be-
selging host. A parade was ordered ; the
garrison, “ faint and few, but fearless still,”
scarcely amounted to eue thousand men.
M^rco Bozzaris told them of the destruc
tlou that impended over Missolonghi, pro
posed a sortie, and announced that it
should consist only of volunteers, as the
expedition was a “forlorn hope.” Volun*
teers ! The whole gairison stepped for
ward as one man, and demanded the post
of honor and death. “I will only take
the Thermopylse number,” said their
leader, and selected the three hundred
that were nearest to him.
In the dead of night this devoted band
marched out in six divisions, and placed
themselves, in profound silence, round the
Turkish camp. Their orders were simply
“When you hear my bugle blow, seek me
in the pacha’s tent.”
Marco Bozzaris, disguised t as au Alba
nian bearing despatches to the pacha from
the Egyptian army, passed unquestioned
through the Turkish camp and was. only
arrested bythe sentinels around the pacha’s
tent, who informed him that he must wait
till morning. Then wildly through the
stilineasof night that bugle blew ; faith
fully it was echoed from without ; and
the avenging Greek broke upon the Mos
lem’s ear. From every side that terrible
storm seemed to burst at once , shrieks of
agony and terror swelled the tumult.—
i’he Turks fled iu all directions and the
Grecian leader was soou surrounded by
his comrades. Struck to the ground by a
musket ball, he had liimself raised on the
shoulders of two Greeks, and thus suppor
ted, he pressed on the flying enemy. A
bullet pierced his brain in the moment of
his triumph; but Missolonghi was sai#d.
and riie delivery ot Greece begun.
Shortly afterwards, Missolonghi w.<*
Hynin beleagured ; all hope of successful
resistance had vanished. Thu small rem
nant of the garrison, placing their wives
and children in their centre, cut their way
at midnight through the Turkish army,
and escaped to the mountains. The aged
and wounded, and infirm alone remained,
«itii soma women and children. Those
assembled round the powder magazine,
and calmly waited
"Till morning’s light
Should rise and give them light to die.”
At the first dawn the Turks stormed the
almost defenceless fortifications, received
one faint volley from the Greeks, and
rushed on to the work of slaughter. A
wounded veteran smiled grimly as he saw
them come ; with one hand he beckoned
them on, with the other he fired his pistol
into the powder magazine. The^explosion
annihilated friend and foe ; the remains of
the heroic garrison perished, but, Samson
like, they involved their enemies in their
own destruction. The name of Missiolon-
glii destroyed, but thus destroyed, became
a power of strength to the Giecian cause.
One more anecdote. A detachment of
one hundred Greeks was hemmed in by a
division of the Turkish army in one of tho
defiles of the Morea. They were summon
ed to surrender, but they demanded to be
allowed to march off with all the honors of
war. This was of course refused. Night
was drawing on, and the attack was post
poned until the following morning. One
Greek alone past over- to the Turks ; he
bore a commission from his comrades to
tali their countrymen that they had died
iuthe cause of Greece. When morning
rose, the pachafound that they had thrown
up a breastwork and presented a very
formidable appearance. He then offered
them a free passage if they would lay
down their arms. “It is too late,” said the
leader to the aid-decamp. “Go tell your
General how you found us.” They had
unwound their silken sashes and firmly
bound themselves to each other, so that
their linomust remain unbroken in death
even. Tho onslaught took place ; seven
hundred Turks fell before the last Greek
was saberod; and an officer relatedlhat long
after he had gone to see the spot, and found
the bleaching skeletons of that gallant
band still bound together by their silken
sashes.
A Joke Loving King.—Louis XI, when
he was a youth, used to visit a peasant,
whose garden produced excellent fruit.—
Soon after he ascended the throne, this
peasant waited on him, and brought bis lit
tle present, a turnip from his garden of an
extraordinary size. -The king smiled, re
membered his past pleasures, and ordered
a thousand crowns to the peasant.
The lord ol his village hearing of this
liberality, argued with himself thus; “If
i this peasant have a thousand crowns for a
RETRIBUTION.
The following is au extract from r let
ter to the Rebel from a prominent citi
zen :
I must relate one incident of the bat
tie of 27th, as it illustrates alike—the
chivalry of a Tennesseean and the perfidy
of the Y'ankees. After tho terrible re%
pulse of the six lines of battle—and while
the surviving Fed.erals of the assaulting
party were crouching under cover of the
hill which slopes down from that part of
Cheatham’s front—the ground being
strewn with Federal dead and wounded—
one who was badly mutilated cried out to
our boys in great agony„ “For God’s sake
boys briug me a drink of water. I would
go to you if I could, but I am disabled—
in God’s name bring me a drink of water.
A noble youth of our State, pitying the
miserable wretch, mounted the breastworks
and shouted to the Federals, who were in
full hearing. “I am going to take one of
your wounded men, a drink of water, don’t
shoot at me.” YYhereupon he took the
dying federal the canteen, allowing him
to drink, and in retiring was fired at by a
dozen yankees, and instantly killed. Our
boys witnessed the act, instantly and with
out orders, fired at the squad before they
could conceal themselves, and it is 6aid
hilled every one of them. So much for the
retributive justice of God. Gen. Cheat
ham was telling me this morning that
nothing could surpass the dashing gal
lantry of his men in the late fight.
Gen. Johnston in riding along the lines
asked, how is it that so many dead Fed
eral lie so close to your breastwoiks ? He
was told that Cheatham had ordered his
men to reserve their tire, until the enemy
almost touched the muzzles of their guns.
“Ah,” said old Joe, “I understand it now.”
The truth is, however, as I was told by
the soldiers this morning, those who fell
so near our works were endeavoring to
get in and surrender themselves, but the
exigency would not allow of discrimination
Some who did get in said to our boys,
“fhere is a thousand men there who wish
to come in and surrender if you will let
them.” It is due to these people, however,
to say that, as a general thing, their
charge was bold, steady and creditable.—
The assailing Regiments were from Ohio,
Indians, Illinois and Kentucky, as the
register of prisoners shows.
Ottawa Indians Captured.—The Yan
kees have drawn upon all the nationalities
of the world for soldiers to fight their bat
tles. YVe have captured from their ar
mies, not only the genuine Yankee, but the
unadulterated African, the Englishman,
tiie Frenchman, the Scotchman, the
Irishman, the Dutchman, the Italian,
the Swiss, and these in no small
numbers, all who have seen or conver-
versed with the prisoners can testify to.
And weTiave reason to believe that there
is a considerable sprinkling of the Cbiuese
element in the Northern army, as well as
of other nationalities not mentioned above.
But they have a new source of strength,
the Indians of the Northwest. On Satur
day morning a batch of sixteeu of these
warriors of the forrest, belonging to a
Michigan regiment, were captured while
making a charge upon our lines. They
belong to the Ottawa Tribe, and are real
ginger-bread chaps. The long, straight
black hair, their dusky countenances and
stalwart forms, attracted no little attention
from our citizens. They speak English as
most of the soldiers in the Y’ankee army,
and say they are fighting the battles of the
North because they believe the North to be
right .— Petersburg Express.
*■
Straggling to the Front.—A remark
able incident occurred on Friday, and a
charge was made to recover onr works caps
tured near Petersburg, Va„ by the enemy.
Thejine of battle was formed, and the
charge ordered but afterwards delay Ire
ing considered desirable, it was counter
manded. The countermand reached only
a part of the troops. The rest accrdingly
move dforward. The Texans of Fields’ di
vision were’among those that were halted ;
but seeing the other part of the line move
on, they became restless and finally imprac
ticablc. By ones, twos, and squads, they
broke ranks and went forward. The con
tagion spread until soon the whole com
maud, officers and all, took up the well
known yell, and rushed on like a storm.
They were everywhere carried and what is
extremely gratifying, bnt with little loss
Gen. Lee is reported to have remarked
that he had known of men straggling to
the rear, bnt ho never before heard ofsirag
gling to the front.

Soldiers of the Army of Western Lauisuma:
On the 12th of March, the enemy with
an army ol3 0,000 men, accompanied by
a fleet of irou clads inoantiog one hundred
and fifty guns moved forward for the con
quests of Texas and Louisiana ; after scrv«
enty days continued fighting, yeu stand a
baud of conquering heroes on the hanks of
the Mississippi. Fifty piece* of eaauon.
seven thousand small arms, three gun
boats and eight transports captared and
destroyed, sixty stands of colors, ever ten
thousand of the enemy killed, wounded or
captured. These are the trophies which
adorn your victorious banners. Along
three hundred miles of river you here
fought his fleet, and over two hundred
miles of road you have driven his army.
You have matched your bare breast against
his iron<c!ads and proved successful in the
contest. YFu have driven bis routed ceK
umns beyond the Miss., although while ma
ny of our gallant comrades were withdrawn
to other fields. The boasted fleet, which
lately sailed triumphantly over our we*
ters, has fled in dismay after destroying
guns and stripping off armor in his eager
ness to escape you. Like recreant knights,
the irou-clads hare fled the field, leaving'
shield and sword behind.
The devotion and constancy you have
displayed in this pursuit have never been
surpassed iu the annals of war, and yeu
have removed from the Confederate sel-
dier the reproach that he eonld win bnt*
ties but could not improve victories.
Along a hundred miles of his path, the
Hying toe, with more than savage barbari
ty, burned every bouse aud village within
big reach. Y’ou extinguished the burning
ruins in hisYiase blood, and were nerved
afresh to vengeance by the cries of women
and cbiMren left without shelter or food.
Long will she accursed race romember the
great river ot Texas aud Louisiana. The
characteristic hue of turbid waters has
darker tinge-from tho liberal admixtare of
Yaukee blood.
The cruel alligator and ravenous garfish
wax fat ou rich food, and our native ml*
ture holds high revelry over many a fes
tering corpse.
If the stern valor of oar well trained in
fantry was illustrated on the bloody fields
of Mauftfield and Pi, a^ant Hill, tbis long
pursuit has covered the cavalry ef this ar
my with undying renown.
Like generous bounds with game ia fall
view, you have kuown usitherkanger aor
fatigue, and the hoarse cannon and tho
ringing rifle have replaced in tbis stern
chase the sonorous horn and joyous bailee.
Whether charging oa foot, shoaldar te
shoulder with oar noble infantry, or barl
ing your squadrons on the masses of the
foe, or hanging on his flying columns with
more than the tenacity of the Cossacks,
you have been admirable in all. Conqaer
your own vices and yon can conqaar the
world.
Our artillery has been the admiration ef
the array. Boldly advancing witbeat eer-
er, against the heavy metal of the hostile
fleet, unlimbering oftea without sapper!
within range of musketry, or remaining
last on the field to pour grape aud canister
into advancing columns, our batteries have
been distinguished in exact proportion as
opportunity was afforded.
Soldiers these are great mad noble deeds,
aud they will live in chronicle and ia song
as the Southern race exists te honor the
earth. But much remains yet to do. The
fairest city of the South languishes ia the
invader’s grasp. Her exiled sons aioaru
her fate in every land. The cheeks of her
fairest daughters yet inautle with the
blush raised by the brutal Tyrant’s iasnlt.
Not a Confederate soldier returns to his
colors from this sad Venice of the South,
but recounts with throbbiug heart and.
tearful eyes, how amidst danger aud in
sult these noble women—angels upon
earth—cheered his confinement and re
lieved his wants. To view the approving
smiles of those fair damns, wilt be a sol
dier’s proudest boast, brightest leaf in hit
chaplet of laurels.
Soldiers ! this army moves towards New
Orleans, and though it did not reaeh the
goal, the hearts of her patriotic womaU
shall sound high with joy, responsive to
the echoes of yonr guii6.
