Ministry des Affairs* Etraoeres, |
Paris, October 15, 1865. j
Monsieur le Marquis:
Con- j
intervention in Mexico, and that this is
the only solution to the question. Napo
leon must back down and recall his troop*
or the Federal Government must recede.
Will either do it? Wc think not, but
on the contrary believe that an armed
conflict between these two powejs is sure
to follow at no distant day.
What are the feelings of ihc Southern
people in regard to Mexican affairs?—
The majority of them do not care a bau-
bce whether Maximilian, Juurcz or no
body rules Mexico, while the minority
favors the reign of the fepner. The
Government ought to know our senti
ments. Wc would have no interest in
such a conflict, and would place ourselves,
in a ridiculous attitude by forcing repub
licanism on Qtbers. Charity begin* at
home. Wc know that it is urged by
some that a war would increase the polit
ical rights of the Southern people, and
hence the war party should receive en
couragement from us. The first part of
the proposition may be true, but if wc
advise the letting loose “the dogs of war,”
and when the conflict comes fail to extend
physical aid, we would he acting the part
of hypocrites. Would it not be nobler
to tell the Northern people that we have
had enough of war—that our property is
gone—that we wish a long period of
peace in which to recover our losses, and
that if they causelessly bring on a war
they must fight it out, for wc do not in
tend to take any part in it farther than
we are compelled to, than to cause them
believe that we are anxious for the con
flict, and when it comes hold back and
tako no part in it? Maximilian, Juarez
and the rest of the Mexicans are nothing
to us, for we were nothing to them in our
hour of trial. If the Mcxicau Republic
(so called) were dear to us, wc. confess
that wc would feel decidedly sheepish to
take arms in our hands to re-establish it,
especially when wc think of the treat
ment wc arc daily receiving at the hands
of the Radicals We have always been
taught that consistency was a jewel. We
are a citizen or resident in the limits of
tho Federal Government now and ever
expoct to be, and wc would regret exceed
ingly to sec the suffering that would fol
low a foreign war bearing upon the South
ern people. Our currency would become
valueless, our strong men be drafted, and
the thousand other evils of war would be
felt speedily. A restoration of political
rights, now wrongfully withheld, would
be a poor compensation for all these No,
the hour of the South’s triuqjph has not
yet come. As surely as a calm follows a
storm in the natural world, so surely will
the political commotion of tho hour sub
side, followed by tho calm of reason,
which briaga the triumph of the right if
the passions of men are not again in
flamed by war. In peace we triumph, in
war wo will find ruin and only ruin.—
What care wc for representation in Con
gress after all we now have has been
swept away by taxation, and we know our
future earnings will go the same way?—
Our natioua! debt now is as heavy as we
cau bear, but if we increase it we are
crushed beneath the burden. Ijf the
Federal Government suffers harm we are
sharers therein. War is its and our ruin,
peace its and our triumph. We know
Radicalism now holds sway, and we know
more that Radicalism fattens nnd flour
ishes upon blood—blood shed in war.—
V ithhold blood from its tiger tongue and
it dies as surely as any living creature j
deprived of atmosphere. Madness rules
so long as commotion is rife, but madness
dies when commotion subsides. We
know our cause, the right, will triumph;
but error, now wounded. “ writhes in
paiu” and ere long will die “amid her
worshippers.” Re patient, friend

REVENUE NOTICE.
duco us to acquiesce in thc cenditien of j
things which we fonnd existing here, I
while our own republic was receiving its !
shape and development. On the other
hand, we have constantly maintained, j
of the same month, I added that it greatly ; and still feel bound to maintain, that the
cipal is collectable. Where no rate is
specified 7 per cent, is understood.
The Senate has appointed 15th Feb.,
and the House Friday uext for election
of United States Senators. lion. J. K.
Shillings has introduced a bill relative to j
nan a City).
Some of thc members arc hammering
away .at repudiation. Poor Georgia ! it has
always been thy lot to have a few individ
uals in thy Legislatures, who arc not ac
quainted with the provisions of the Con
stitution which they have sworn to sup
port. Gentlemen if you do not know
what you were sent there for, do not pre-
vens others who do, from working.
Mexico.
Wc have been informed that Lieut. J.
A. Allen and Maj. Geo. M. Ilanvey, of
this place, propose to bear one half of
their expenses, provided the other half is
paid by others, and go to Mexico make a
survey of the country—return and make
a report. Those who are interested in
this subject cannot expect to receive a
fairer proposition and if they ever intend
to act, now is thc time.
Dabney P. Jones.
Wc were pleased to see in our Office
on Monday last this gentleman, so exten
sively known throughout our State. Al
though advanced in years, he is in the
enjoyment of good health, has not lost
any of his love for the cause of temper
ance and could lecture an hour without
physical inconvenence. His neighbors
have manifested their respect for hint,
by organizing, at Palmetto, a Division of
thc Sons of Temperance bearing his name.
His losses iu thc war havebeen compar
atively very heavy.
Scott’s Magazine.
The January number is on our tabic,
and from a careful inspection wc are con
vinced that it is an improvement on tho
first, thc December number. It contains
many articles of rare merit and ability.—
The Editorial Department is very attrac

Southern enterprise that support and en

The February number of this favorite
monthly has arrived. Arthur’s is one of
thc best Lady’s Magazines in the Union
4£a?“0ur. Representatives Capt. Stal
lings and Maj. Tench are entitled to our
thanks for public documents sent us.
Sometimes even a Southern journal
admits that the negro is as good if not
better than some white men.
[Radical paper.
That's so, but only your sort U refer
red to.
The Radical party does not pay the
slightest regard to the ratification of the
amendment by the States lately in rebel
lion.— The Right Way.
Nor to their oaths to support the Con
stitution.
Gov. Brownlow urges the Legislature
to establish a branch of the Penitentiary
at Knoxville. By all means let it be
done, and as close to the Governor’s resi
dence as possible.—Exchange.
Does our eotemporary wish to corrupt;
the morals of the convicts?
“Macon Canal and Water Work* Cotnpa
ny,” “ Augusta Gazelle Fire ami Hose
Company,” “Porter Bottle” bills, and
bills prohibiting the straining of horses
except in races, and an hundred other
such.
The lion. Thomas Hardman, Speaker,
is aoseut on account ol sickness. Ilis
place is temporarily filled by lion. M.
Pottle, who was elected over Dr. Ridley
by six voles.
The presumption is that wc will be
here until thc latter part of February or
the middle of March. I thiuk it is not
certainly known whether lion. A. II.
Stephens will suffer his name run for thc
Senate or not. The slightest intimation
by him that he will or can accept will
secure his election. For the short term
there are Jim Johnson, Gcu. Gartrcll,
Josh llill, Ben Hill and others. Gartrell
has many friends aud will make a good
race. There is considciable pulling at
the wires by old members and politicians.
Two attempts have been made to bring
on the election, but no go. Up to this
time something is in the wind. I think
thc breeze is tainted with Jim Johnson
and Josh, but we are not willing to gulp
them.
Two attempts have also been made to
bring on the election for Judges of the
Supreme Court, which likewise failed.—
The candidates are Warner, (who will be
elected without doubt,) then Walker,
Lyon and Benning. Walker is a new
man, with many friends and but little
prejudice, if any, against him, while
Lyon and Benning are at loggerheads,
and when prostrated with their efforts to
secure the carcass, Walker, the fox iu
this case, will step up and take it off.
We have several “hog-backs” in the
House. Well, you say, what do you mean
by “ hog-backs ?” They arc men who
went across the line into Tennessee du
ring the war, and there lived until the
surrender of our army, and n en who
have, like Captain Dulghctty, fought on
both sides, (thc Yankee side last), and
who have been elected by the skulkers
and deserters from both armies. One of
these “scurvy” chaps said the other day,
when a bill was introduced in thc House
depended up«u the United States to facil
itate the departure of cur troops If they
would adopt toward the Mexican Govern
ment an amicable attitude which would
aid to the conaolidatioB of order, and
people of every State on the American j
continent have a right to secure for them
selves a Republican Government if
they choose, and that interference by
foreign States to prevent the enjoyment
which we could find motives of security of such institutions, deliberately cstab-

lished, is wrongful, and in its effect an
tagonistical to the free and popular form
of goverement existing in the
States. We should think it wrong, as
for the interests which obliged us to carry
arms beyond the Atlantic, we would be
ready to adopt without delay thtf^asis of
an understanding on this subject with
the Cabinet of Washington, aud I wish
to make fully known to you now the view* i States, to attempt to subvert, by
of the government of his Majesty.
What wc a>k of the United States is
to be assured that their intention i* not
to impede thc consolidation of the new
order of things founded in Mexico; and ■ situited on
the best guarantee we could receive of
their intention would be the recognition
of the Emperor Maximilian by the Fed
eral Government.
Thc American Union should not, it
seems to us, be kept back by the difference
of institutions, for the United States have
official intercourse with all the monarchies
of Europe and of thc new world. It is
in conformity with their own principles
of puhiic law to regard the monarchy es
tablished hi Mexico as being, at least, a
government de facto, without particular
regard to its nature or its origin, which
has been consecrated by the suffrage of
the people of that country ; and, in thu*
acting, the Cabinet of Washington would
only be inspired with the same feelings
of sympathy which President Johnson
expressed recently to the envoy of Brazil,
as guiding the policy of the United States
toward thc yougcr States of the American
Continent.
Mexico, it is true, is still oecuprcd at
this moment by the French army, and
we can readily see that this objection will
arise. But the aeknwlcdgctneut of the
Emperor Maximilian by the United Sfatcs
would, in our opinion, have sufficient in
fluence upon the state of thc country to
allow us to take into consideration their
susceptibilities on this subject; and
should thc Cabinet of Washington decide
to open diplomatic relations with the
Court of Mexico, we would see no diffi
culty to enter into an arrangement for
the recall of our troops within a reasona
ble period of which we would—might
consent to fix tho termination.
In consequence of the vicinage and
immense exteut of the common frontier,
the United States are, more than any
other power, interested to see their trade
with Mexico placed under the safeguard
of stipulations in harmony with the mu
tual wants of both countries. Wc would
most readily offer our good offices to facil
itate the conclusion of a commercial treaty,
thereby, cementing the political “ rap-
iprochement,” the basis of which

of their adherence to wltioh they have

difficulty, for the reason that when, at auy
