SEABOARD LUXURIES.
The opening of the Central Rond lias in

MEXICO.
We have often taken occasion to caution
our renders against the “fixed up” reports that
are being sent from 3Iexico to the Northern
press by parties who, for the most part, went
there for the purpose of making out a case
against Maximilian. It is a notorious fact
that more than one-half the statements in the
past regarding-the operations of *he two ar
mies and the condition of Maximilian's gov
ernment, have been proved to be utterly false.
That the Liberals are reduced to straggling
parties of banditti in tlieNortbcrn States and
have no organization that -entitles them to
the name of An army, we -have seen no rea
son to doubt. These bands may exist for
some time to come, as it is impracticable
for tbc Emperor to garrison every point
of the empire with tbc •means at his
command; but they will make no im
pression upon the integrity of his govern

the United States, they would have died out
before this. It is the encouragement given
by the Radical press and Congress that has
continued them in a galvanized state of exist

they have done during the whole session, has been
brought to nought, aud they have the mortifica

15?“Martial Law has been re-established in
the Counties of Santa Rosa, Escambia, Levy,
Madison and Alachua, in Florida. The
reasons given:by the general in command of
that department for this move, are that “sev
eral murders, attempts to kill, and other
crimes have -been committed upon the per
sons of loyal -citizens and soldiers of the Uni
ted States, in these counties, and the civil
authorities have failed to bring the criminals
to justice.
The Pensacoia'Observcr speaks ol it as on
event so bold snd unexpected that it could
scarcely realize its. reality. It deprecates the
measure in stroog<terms, as wholly unneces
sary, and says that -so far from the commis
sion of crimt being, unusually great in the
counties named, as alleged in the order of
General Foster, it had been actually less, and
expresses the opinion that the military au
thorities had been deecived by the misrepre
sentations of evil disposed persons.
The Excursionists.—Most of the excur
sionists to Savannah returned yesterday, and
all express themselves as delighted with their
visit to the eea-board. Wc regret very much
that we were not of the party, circumstances
being such as to deprive os -of that pleasure
for the preseat. It happened,-.too, to be in
. convenient to most of the fraternity in'Macon
* to avail themsdves of the -opportunity for
-paying their rejects to their<brethren of the
iiForest City; though we hope the ilatter will
.'take the will for the deed and honor us with
•the pleasure of their company during the en
suing week. We shall bo happy to sec them
allot our office, though to be honest we must
make a single exception. Such was ’bis con-
-dnct.toward one of the editors of this .paper

will, and justly, consider the neutrality vio
lated and himself ot liberty to act without
the slightest reference to the agreement.—
This will only make matters worse, and lead
to interminable trouble.
For the life of us, taking a broad states
manlike view of tbc question, wc cannot see
why our Government or people should desire
to throw any obstacle in tlie way of the be
nign intentions of the present Emperor of
Mexico. It is too evident to require proof
that the tcelj'are of the Mexican people—the
great moral and political guid- that should
govern the conduct of every honest
man and philanthropist—has no lot or
part iu the matter. It is too clear to be
doubted, that the restoration of Juarez, or
any member of his party, or even of Republi
canism itself, would be bat the restoration ol
anarchy, lawlessness and bloodshed. The last
forty years of Mexican history is directly to
this point, and cannot be answered. It lias
been known asa “government of revolutions,’’
no party having maintained its authority
much longer than a twelvemonth. The re.
suit has been the interruption of industry, the
annihilation ot commerce, and the utter
demoralization and crushing, out of the Mexi
can people. What good man, interested in the
prosperity and welfare of his race, wishes to
see this lamentable state of things revived ?
There is no honesty or honor in the purpose.
The whole movement for a change from good
to bad is founded in mistaken views of Ameri
can policy and the basest passions of the
human heart.
It is the true interest and policy of our
Government and people to build up and
solidify,not to tear down and destroy tbc Gov
ernment of Maximilian. What if Napoleon
did originate it ? The only sensible question
is: is it a good government, or better than
Mexico lias hitherto enjoyed, giving more of
protection and promising more of rational
liberty 1 If it be such, no man can aid in its
destruction without incurring a fearful res
ponsibility in the sight of both God and man.
The permanent happiness and well-being of
the Mexican people depend upon its mainten
ance, whilst the United States, so far from
having anything to fear from it, would be
largely the gainer by a stable government
in Mexico, and the restoration of com
merce with one of tbe richest countries on the
gtobe.

HORRIBLE MASSACRE IN WILKINSON
COUNTY.
Wc heard last night, from a reliable gen
tleman, the particulars of a massacre in Wilk
inson county that is without a parallel in
atrocity in the South. The facts arc in brief
as follows;
Two negro men—Pompey O'Bannon, for
merly the property of a gentleman of the lat
ter name in Wilkinson, and William, who
hails from Chattanooga, bntboth more re
cently from this vicinity—left Macon Satur
day last and on Wednesday afternoon made
their appearance at the house of Mr. John
Rollins, about three-quarters of a mile from
No. 15, C. R. R. Mr. Rollins is a respecta
ble citizen and a merchant at No. 15, and was
absent on a visit to Savannah. The two ne
groes, armed with double-barrelled guns and
heavy clubs, entered the house, complained
of being hungry and asked Mrs. Rollins for
something to eat She replied that
something had been left from dinner
and they were welcome to it, and
was about leaving the room to obtain it when
she was felled to the floor by blows from tbe
clubs in the hands of the villains and beat
until life was extinct Her child, about 8
months old, was treated in a similar way, to
gether with a daughter about three years of
age, both having their heads and faces hor
ribly mangled and being left for dead. The
fiends then made after a negro girl, about
twelvc.years of age, who, afterrecciving sev
eral violent blows, succeeded in making her
escape across the fields to a neighboring farm
honse, wb-n she gave the alarm. The two
children, it is thought, cannot recover. The
neighbors soon gathered, some looked after
the dead and wounded, whilst others pro
cured guns and dogs and went in pursuit of
the villains, .who fled in the direction of this
city. After .running them Wednesday night
and the whole of yesterday, about dark the
party came up with one of them, Pompey O’-
Bannon, a short .distance across the river,
About dark, and captured him. The party
were in hot pursuit of the other last night and
his capture was thought certain.
So far as could be learned, the negroes had
no cause of quarrel against Mrs. Rollins, or
any of the family, and were driven to the
murder of a whole family purely by a desire
to rob the premises and conceal their crime,
it being understood that Mr. Rollins had
money about the house. To what extent they
succeeded in this part of their object, wc were
unable to learn.

REIGN OF MAXIMILIAN.
Washington, June 25, 1866.
A despatch from Ren. Sheridan to General Grant
states that nine-tenths of tbcMexican people are op
posed to the longer rclen of Maximilian, and that
when the French. Austrian and Belgian troops are
withdrawn he will have lew supporters in all Mexi
co. The despatch also states that Santa Anna is un
derstood to be herein the interest of both thc Max
imilian and the Church party, and should be close
ly watched bythe United States anthorities.
Now so far as the first sentence is concern’d, I
know positively that tbe facts arejnstthe reverse.
Fonr-ufths of the Mexican people are devotedly at
tached to Maximilian and the present government
of Mexico, and these comprise all the owners of
perty, professional and educated men, meeban-
cs, and settled laborers. The “Liberals’’ in Mex
ico, with few exceptions, arc the dregs and 6cnm
of society, bandits, robbers murderers, men with
out tbe least interest in thc country, and who could
not exist stall, under a settled government
Another reason for the intense hatred which
Thaddeus Stevens and the other radicals enter
tain towards Mr. Seward has just come to light
The radicals cannot cariy ont their schemes of
intervention in the affairs of Mexico as long a*
tbe President has power to enforce the observ
ance of Mr. Soward’s pledge of neutrality. But
in addition to this, it is now said that Mr' Sew
ard has concluded a secret treaty with Napo
leon and Maximilian, in pursuance of which
Maximilian is to abdicate the throne and sceptre,
and offer himself to the Mexicans as a candidate
for President of the Mexican republic. Being
elected President, he is then to be recognized by
the United Slates, and diplomatic relations are to
be opened between the two countries. Then af

choice of the Mexican people. This plot, as it is
‘ Int production of Napo-
called, is said to be the joint production of Napo
leon and Mr. Seward. Such Is the story. It is
not generally believed here, but still it finds be
lievers. It is highly improbable in all Us details
That the Mexican Empire will ultimately be rteoe-
nized by tbe United States, U as sure as fate.
That the Mexican people arc devotedlr attached
to Maximilian, and would willingly live under his
administration under any name, is equally certain
But U Is not at all likely that Maximilian has anv
thoughts of abdicating, and still less likely that

time by procrastination for her own not en
tirely completed arrangements, hut especially
for thos« of her allies. The fact of war is a
settled determination at Vienna; thc only
further point is to choose the favorable mo
ment to begin.
This tonviction is forced upon us witli im-
perativi necessity by tbe most recent facts,
and wqconsider that only an intensely preju
diced new can come to an opposite conclu
sion. Facts now speak too loudly lor gossip,
based solely upon conjectures, combinations,
falsclj interpreted statements, and empty ru
mors is to tlie warlike longings of Prussia,
not tod windle into nothingness in comparison.

solenxity protest against any notion of wish
ing to make good our claims to the Duchies
by force and with disregard to the rights of
the co-possessor. Now, too, probably it will
notbc difficult to understand the real mo
tives of tlie armaments by which Austria has
given rise to the present crisis, and whose
removal by means of the Congress she has
further taken care to render impossible by
the attitude she has assumed.
We may appeal with a calm conscience to
thc judgment of all impartial statesmen as to
which party has displayed conciliation and
love of peace up to the last moment.
I respectfully request your Excellency to
express yourself in the sense of this dispatch
to tlie Minister of Foreign Affairs at the Court

Fatal Affray.—We learn from the Ala-
lwuna press that a difficulty occurred in
Greensboro, Alabama, last week, between
Stephen Williamson and H. W. Duggar. It
appears that Duggar on striking Williamson
with a stick, was shot twice by a young son of
the latter, one shot taking effect in tlie neck,
thc other in the heart; whereupon Duggar
stepped into his store, and returned with
a double barrel shot gun, and shot William
son, infla ting, it i‘ supposed, a mortal
wound, and then turned and shot Mr. Har
well. Williamson, killing him instantly. Im
mediately after shooting tbe latter, Duggar
fell dead.

been received at the Navy Department. The

roll. While the other vessels were lurching
about, and their speed checked by heavy
seas, she went along comparatively undis
turbed.
