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. Vera Cruz, 'May 27,1S64. 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.

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 quirer. Annfcdotes of the Creek RnolnUon. Warburton. ■ 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.

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. R.
