THE FREYCII IV MEXICO.
Homo month? ago we had occasion to speak
of Ui« probable armed occupation of Mexico
by the French, ami the consequences likely to
result therefrom. And in that connection we
advanced the opinion that the Monroe doctrine,
so strenuously uphold by the United States
while the Union existed, was one among many
peculiar American humbugs, which we of the
Confederacy had no interest in, and which we
ought at once to abandon, leaving Us main
tenance to the United States, if they choose
to maintain it. Throughout this giant war
in which the United Stated has now been for
more thau two years engaged, striving to crush
a so-called rebellion which pervades the whole
of eleven great State t , that power lms never
•eased to harp on the Monroe doctrine as an
American luw in which both the Union and
the Confederacy were alike interested; and al
though the United States lias had its hands so
full-of conquering rebels that it could not ac
tively interfere against the French enterprise
in Mexico, it has nevertheless secretly, and to
the extent of its present ability, aided the
Mexicans.
But why, in the name of all that is sensible,
should die Confederate States object to the
French occupancy of Mexico, and to tho es
tablishment under French auspices of any form
of government which may bo adjudged most fit
tor the Mexican people, designed to secure or
der, stability, and the development of Mexi
co’s great national resources'? Why should
we become such foolish knight-errants as to
declare that no European power shall extend
its authority or dominion on the North Amer
ican Continent ? If we make such declaration
ws must bo prepared to enforce the doctrine
by arms, and to do so in conjunction with oar
enemy, the United Stales ; whereas our inter
est agrees with our impulses, which dictate that
we form no alliances with the United States,
except such as are absolutely necessary be
tween such close neighbors. And leaving out
of view all entangling alliances with the Uni
ted States, which cannot fail to prove disas
trous to us, the numerically weaker party,
and to which our feelings are altogether
repugnant, what interest have we in pre
venting, if we could, the extension of Eu
ropean authority and influence on this con
tinent ? the Confederacy, once firmly
established, giving up to the North all abovo
the present slave line, desire to extend a grand
united slave-holding Republic south to the
Isthmus, and to embrace the tropical isles of
the continent? No, it does not, and should
not, desire any such future. No such raogni
fleeut dream, if entertained, can probably be
accomplished, and if accomplished, would prove
ruinous ; because, not to speak of outside
envy and jealousy, it would breed internal dis-
weaken the bonds ol the Confederacy,
which would ultimately fall to pieces in a
bloody struggle of self-assertion, just as the
Union has done.
We must not lose sight of this all-important
&ct: That the United States is, and will pro
hably continue, our greatest and worst enemy
—that it has a stronger desire than any other
power on earth to do ns harm, and that it is
particularly inimical to our slave institution.
Other powers, perhaps, would gladly enough
»co us, of our own accord, abolish African
servitude, but they will certainly never active
ly interfere to that end, and if we but attend
to our own affairs, and exhibit no aggressive
*nd propagandist spirit, wo shall secure the
good-will and friendship of all the powers,
European and American, except the United
Stages. With that latter power we should
*ek no intimate relations, nor have any rela
ting at all except such as the necessity of the
stuation absolutely requires. It should be
«*de to understand that as it cannot conquer

nation shall spring op on our Southern border,
to which we should at once and cordially ex
tend the right hand of fellowship. W hat bus
iness is it of oars wbat form of Government be
established in Mexico, so that it be stable,
strong, and by its equity and by
putting an end to the many evils under which
the Mexicans have long labored, and from
which it seemed they werokicppableof deliv
ering themselves, it insures donaMte*iranquil
ity, peace with its neighbors and gradual but
sure development of agriculture, commerce,
and manufactures, suited to its condition ?
What more could we ask of a neighbor, with
whom we desire to have the closest frendly re
lations ? What if a monarchy be established ?
The Mexicans have tried Republicanism and
it has signally failed. A monarchy, doubtless,
will be established, and that is probably best
adapted to them. At any rate it is no con
cern of ours, for we are not to be propagand
ists of Democratic opinions and institutions
any more than of slavery. If Democratic in
stitutions continue to suit us we will maintain
them, but we do not, and must not, seek to
impoee them on others. With our experience
running through scarcely three generations,
it is matter Os grave doubt with many of our
brightest and best minds, whether Democracy
is the bin form of government for any people-
To say the least, our experience certainly is
not such as should iuduce us to desire other
people to model their governmonts after ours
—or to desire it so strongly that we would
make any objection to their trying a different
form.
Gen. Forty, from the Mexican capital, but
1 not in the spirit of an insolent conqueror, is
sues instructions to the Mexican people, call
ing on them to rally together to establish a
government, such as the people, after consul
tation, shall deem best suited to secure order,
justice, liberty, properly understood, the rights
of property, the public worship anti tranquil
ity. A monarchy probably will be establish
ed; at present the Government consists of a
Council or Thirty-five, selected by I-’orey, an
F.xocutive of three pcr.-ons,chosen by the Coun
' cil, in conjunction with which Council and
Executive, an elective Representative Assera
’ bly ol two hundred mid fifteen will prepare a
Constitution and form of Government to be
J ratified by two-thirds of the people. If tho
Mexicans understand their own interests the
1 work will soon Ik-accomplished; if they prove
} factious and foolish partisans a coup-de-main
.j wiil become necsesary. We heartily wish
God speed to tho French ip Mexico, and hope
| soon that both France aud Mexico will be in
close alliance with our recognized Oonfedor
. acy.
WHV rr is IMPOSSIBLE FOB THE NORTH TO
eumitikH I'llli SOL'Tli-
A few faint-hearted croakers here and there
, perhaps entertain the opinion that at last tho
, North wiil really bo able, by sheer force of
. aumbers, to conquer the South, and hold it in
, subjugation. But the general judgment, as
wall as the general determination of our peo-
I plo it, that conquering the Confederacy is a
f smuumnilitv. If flm raVihlA
soldiery of the North could succeed in killing
•r disabling the warriors the Confederacy can
put in the field, and thus dishearten and dispir
it the remaining population, then they might
overrun and permanently occupy our country
—otherwise it is a perfect abmrdity to imag
ine that we can be conquered.
We all know that our armies will remain
fighting to the last, while there arc any of
them left; and it is most irrational to suppose
that the North can ever put our million of
fighting men lion da combat, especially when
w» consider that they have not now an army
exceeding half a million effective men, and can
•of recruit but by conscription, aud cannot
eatorce tho conscription unless ou the heel of
great successes, real or apparent. Even now
with all the furor of joy ex :ited by the capture
•f Tieksburg and the driving of Leo back to
T irgiaia, armed resistance is made to tho draft,
asd Lincoln has been forced to suspend it in
the city of New York. And if the conscrip
tion should bo enforced—which cannot be if
we will but resolutely hold our ground a few
mouths loßger—these conscripts must require
quite a long training before the Abolition
Generals willdare risk them in the field against
the Confederates. Any one, even tho most ig
aorant aud the most despondent, must sec at
o»c» that it is absurd to suppose that tho
Tauk*e armies, with their present strength,
augmented by all that euforced conscription
•an add to them, can destroy the armies of the
Confederacy.
Until our army is clean goue our people are
j n °t dispirited, not broken, not disposed in the
I slightest to submit. Nothing is farther from
their thoughts, for they know what they may
•xpect by sabmisaion,aud they are determined
one and ail, to resist to the bitter eud. 'The,
«r*rcn submiaionist always fares worse than
the bold, unyielding tighter, for the litter can
•sly bo hilled, while the former lives in infamy
aad torture, and without the solace of his own
Mil-respect even; and the brave man extorts
respect from the meanest foe. Os course our
p*ople cannot always maintain to its utmost
tension the •oulident spirit which fears no
danger and believes there can be nc peril. It
is immaterial and not to be expected. Disast
ers will come, and people will feel some tem
porary depression and gloom. Bat we mean
tosiy, and we know it, that not one in a
thousand of the people here has ever seriously
entertained the idea of giving up the contest,
•ome wb*t may.
We 08111101 be conquered till our armies are
dastroyed and tha people become dispirited.
Oar armies may be forced to fall back and in
vasion may extend itself, but what of it ? It
II onl 7 the temporary loss ot the country
abandoned, and the outrage and insult and in
jury to which its inhabitants are subjected.
And we must never forget this most import
ant truth, that to the extent the enemy pene
trate our country (with a hostile and nnson
quered people behind and around him) by just
*° mHch uhe really weakened. Every town
he captures must be garrisoned, and the army
« progression thereby weakened. And most
important oi all, there are natural, physical
difficulties which must ever prevent the pene
tration of the interior of the Confederacy and
i s permanent occupation by the Abolition
horees. No army dare venture upon such an
our forces, and then its numbers must be so
groat that it cannot subsist itself on the coun
ty through which it advances; and failing
that it most occupy as a base some large river,
always open for transit, or must possess the
most ample and perfect railroad facilities. The
Mississippi. Cumberland and Tennessee are
tho only great rivers by which the Confedera
•y oau be penetrated by large armies, or used
ns a base for such, and the two latter cannot
be relied on for more than six months in the
year. Why have not the enemy overrun and
oooupied Florida? Because it has no great
river, and is protected effectually by the sparse
ness of ita population, the poverty of its soil,
and tho scantiness of its subsistence stores.—
And as the enemy steals all from our people
wherever he does penetrate, it is the best
policy to destroy all provisions which cannot
be removed before he comes, as otherwise he
will use them, and our people driven thence,
must subsist on the stores accumulated from
other soil. Physical eauses, while a brave
army and a defiant people remain, absolutely
prevent the enemy from overrunning, occupy
ing and conquering the Confederacy.
CHARGEOF WRIGHTS BRIG VUE.
According to the accounts received, the
charge made by Gen. Wright’s brigade on the
enemy at Gettysburg was the most gallant and
desperate that has yet been made in the war.
It reminds one of the charge of the “six hun
dred” in the Crimean war. Nothing could
exceed it in peril and in daring. General
Wright’s brigade belongs to Anderson’s divis
ion, five brigades strong, of A. P. Hill’s corps
d' armee. Who ordered this terrible charge
wo do not know, but we suppose it was or
dered by the division commander, as a single
brigade would scarcely have undertaken such
work without orders. This single brigade, of
only sixteen hundred men, could not reasonably
have been expected to accomplish anything
of value proportioned to tho risk, without sup
port; but bo far, as wo at present know, it ap
pears to have been almost wholly unsnpported.
In line, Wilcox's brigade occupied the right,
Perry’s the left, of General Wright’s Geor
gians—the lid, 22d and 48th regiments, and
the 2d battalion. From the accounts none but
the Georgia brigade ever reached the enemy’s
guns on those strong heights, whence came the
messengers of death every moment. Wilcox’s
brigade did manage to cross the intervening
vale which stretched between the opposing
lines of battle, but none of the men ascended
the rocky slope, on top of which the enemy’s
artillery was so admirably arranged. Perry’s
brigade cf Floridians soon turned back. But
Wright’s Georgians pushed on through alt the
fiery storm of lead and iron, drove back the
infantry from the lower heights and took the
battery they were aiming for. Alas, that
many a brave fellow should fall before the
guns his comrades captured, and that the few
survivors of that desperate charge should find
themselves on the crest unsupported, enfiladed
by other of tho enemy’s batteries, forced to
yield the guns which cost so heavily, and again

WILL THERE BS AXV FOREIGN INTERFER
ENCE f
This is a question in which we all fee! an
absorbing curiosity, if not a very great inter
est. It has been asked again and again in the
past two years—some have answered that in
terference of some sort was just on the eve of
occurring, while others have been skeptical
all the time, and have never believed that any
European power would recognize us until the
United States did, nor do aught to put a stop
to tho exhausting struggle. It will be re
collected that in the old revolution the colonics
set out with the declaration that they “were,
and of right ought to be, free and independent
States,” aud under the style and title of the
United States, they fought the mother coun
try seven long years, conquering their inde
pendence from the sheer physiciai incapacity
of Britain to overrun and occupy their soil.
The French, who, from the days of CreOy,
Poicticrs, aud Ajincourt, had been the nat
ural, and instinctive, and irrepressible enemies
of the British, aided the colonies with men
and money; but beyond this no other powej,
civilized or savogc, of the first or. fifth or any
intermediate class, ever acknowledged or re
coguizcd tho United States until England
made peace with them, and acknowledged the
independence of each of the States comprising
the Union and the nationality of the United
States. It is true, however, that in several
eases Great Britain and other European pow
ers have recognized actual de facto govern
ments, regardless of the question in whom the
right to govern resided, thu3 making them
selves in fact judges of that right. But still
such action is not usually taken, except in ur
gent cases, or where good pretexts can be
made, or where one or other of the original
bellfgerents really desires such a means of es
eapo from a conflict without issue or promise
of success.
The United States, a young, uncouth giant,
without entangling alliances, without any
troublesome questions of Divine right, of bal
ance of power, and the like, has never been
slow to acknowledge de facto ' governments,
and has rather inclined to champion new be
ginners, especially where the pretensions and
much-abused cry of Liberty could be raised,
But the old, stable, powerful governments of
Europe are extremely averse to welcome new
comers into the respectable famiiy of nations
particularly if the applicant should be tainted
with the name and character of insurgent or
rebel. They nave a great aversion to the name
and the thug—rebellion ; and while they may
contemplasd with complacent stoicism the ex
istence of a revolt in a neighbor's dominions,
they are careful not to give it countenance,
unless directiy interested in the issue, because
some day they may have insurgents of their
own to deal with, when they would desire the
sympathy of other powers, and be particularly
hostile should those powers sympathise with
their rebellion.
Unfortunately, the European powers have
never clearly comprehended the real political
condition of the parties to the great American
quarrel, their actual status, and accordingly
have been unable to divest themselves of the
prejudice that the Confederates arc really reb
els in insurrection against a Government
which they seek to overthrow, or at the least
beginning the two leading powers, England
and France, have recognized as as belligerents,
entitled as such to equal rights with the Uni
ted States; but still they have got it twisted
into their brains that the United States is and
was a nationality, a State in fact like them
selves, the component parts of which are held
together by a bond indefeasible bnt by suc
cessful revolt. Their dealing have been with
the Lmted States, not with Virginia or Geor*
gia, and they will not understand how it is that
the United States is bat the creation of the
free and independent States composing it,
which had notan existence, as at present con
stituted, when Virginia and Georgia were sov.
ereign States, and acknowledged as such by
Britain herself, and which may be blotted out
without affecting those States, except in so far
as that wotild necessitate a change in the agent
charged with the management of their foreign
relations. Hence the Confederates have al
ways been somewhat at a disadvantage before
the public mind of Europe, which cannot get
rid of the idea that we are in rebellion, or at
the best in revolution to change our allegi
ance.
Bat however Europe may regard us as en
gage d in rebellion or revolution, we never have
doubted that, except Russia, and now proba
bly Prussia—leaving United Italy out of the
question—all the powers desire that we
may succeed. Their pride of opinion and
their interest lead them to desire the abase
ment .of the United States, and nothing
affords such hope of that result as their perma
nent diffnemberment. But if it be possible
they desire that dismemberment secured with
out their aid, and that the Union may die, as
they would call it, by its own hands. They
have believed that the event would be accom
plished without their interference, and the pro
gress of the war has justified that belief.—
What effect recent events may have upon
their judgment as to the result, if no aid be
granted, we cannot say, but they have not
changed their determination in the least—and
thai determination is that the Union shall not
be restored or re-constructed, if they have
force or wit to prevent it,
If the North should be repeatedly victori
ous, on continuous, great ami sanguinary fields,
and the Confederacy be redneed to extremity,
and Europe be satisfied of the fact, recognition
and active intervention in our behalf would
come speedily from France, and, wo believe,
also from Englaud and Spain. But at present
I the North has only gained a few nearly barren
! victories, and the South is not in extremity,
and Europe knows it. Therefore we need not
expect immediate aid, unless the European
owers become convinced that the North only
desires a pretext for peace, or that the war
promises to become still more cruel and san
guinary and destructive. We are not yet in
extremity—when we arm and fight the slaves
against the Abolition invaders, and make des
olutiou of the soil os we abandon it, then all
may know that wo are really in that extremity
of desperation which makes all things of no
account in the scale of subjugation or re-union.
If the rulers gs tho United States were wise,
were not so inruHoteu witti biood-thirotinees,
or so misguided by tho hopes built upon
ephemeral success, they would gladly embrace
the present opportunity to give us peace on
our terms, rather than finally be forced to do
so in a worse condition. Kill aifti devastate
they may—conquer us they never can.

tay Hill was also prompt, but handled bis division
badly. Longstreet’s delay may be accounted for 1
by the fact that the enemy was principally en- ‘
trenched in front, and General Lee waited to da

the effect of concentrating artillery at Chafeel

rOSTPOMSMSST OP THS DRAPT It* NEW HAMPSHIRE, j
[Fiom the Beaton Traveller, July 35.]
i It appears to be sn established fact that in New
, Hampshire the draft has been postpone 1 until ibe
opinion of the solicitor oi the War Department
I and the judge advocate can l>« obtained upon va
rious questions submitted id regard to the injus
tice ot compelling such towns as have heretofore
, supplied ibeir full quotas to contribute equally
1 W ith those that bsre bteu deficient in this respect.
, The Governor, in bts letter to Mr. Staunton, says;
'***«* a
You will at once perceive, my dear sir, the
great difficulty of enforcing a draft so manitesßy
unjust as it would ba, carried out as suggested.
Our people would almost revolt at such an out
rage upon the plainest principles of justice and
equality.
There is doubtless considerable excitement in
New Hampshire upon tne subject, and the daci-
Sion of the Washington authorities tput the dralt
must be postponed until the evil can be remedied
is eminently proper and judicious.
LABOR NUMBER OP EXEMPTIONS.
The Hartford (Conn.) Times informs us that the
exemptions of dratted men by surgeons' certifi
cates, in various parts of New England since tbe
commencement of the Federal conscription,
amount to the enormous proportion of 78 per cent.
It is, indeed, estimated by many that tbe exemp
tion will reach 80 per cent. But we will call it 73.
Os the balance It would seem that, as a general
thing thing, about 25 out ot tbe 27 have tied to
parts unknown, and the strong probability is that,
m most of these caaes, tbe fugitives from their
own homes will make good their escape, in spite
of the activity of the provost marshals, leaving a
net result of, at tbe most, ten men oat cf every
bundled dratted who will be mastered into tbe
service.
Good for them I
The following is ibe Herald’s dispatch from
Washington in reference to Foreign Affairs, an
abstract ot which reached us by telegraph :
Wabhinbton, July 24.—The movement under
tbe leadersuip of Mr. Steward, having its object
the offer of libira. concessions to the insurgents
and the ending of tbs present war, has received
sn impetus from tbe uews which his reached here
from our foreign Minister in bon dm and Pans.
It is now admitted by the most sanguine friends
of the Administration that never were onr affairs
in so menacing a sthte. England— so tbe official
advices indicate—has de ermined to furnish the
South with an iron clad navy, including ships,
buds and seamen. It is equally certain that the
Emperor of France hss mane up his mind definite
ly to interfere in our domestic affairs.
The changed condition of affairs, due to tbe
fall or Vicksburg Port Hudson, and the reb
el defeat at Gettysburg, will not, it is believed; by
the most sagacious ot the friends of the Adminis
tration, alter tbe character of the action which
France and England have finally determined t >
adopt. The appearance of a fleet of French ves
sels at New Orleans to protect tbe interests of tbe
Creole population at that point, and the sailing ot
a very large iron-clad fleet from the English purls
are certain to take place. ludeed.it is understood
here that the real peril to the North will come
when it is apparent to the Emperor Napoleon and
tbe British Cabinet that there is a strong proba
bility of the overthrow of the South as a military
power.
Bo long as the conflict was an even one they
oonld afford to be neutral and let the matter be
fought out; but the moment there is a danger of
tbo North overpowering the South, then interven
tion wit I be tried to compel a separation, upon
which England and France are determined—
England to'.cnpple tbe power ot this great Repub
lic, and France to preserve her domain in Mexi
co. There is no doubt that if the North and South
were to some together France would immediately
be compelled to relinquish her hold upon Mexico,
and this Lonis Napoleon is determined shall not
happen. Hence, it is argued, he will take time by
tbe forelock, and the South against the Nortn
earn a title to its gratitude, and thus retain bis
hold upon Mexico, aud pursue bis schemas in
Central America.
England is also aware that should the Union be
restored, it will find both North and South embii>
! tered against her and ready for war.
It is a matter of certainty—and the English un
, derstand it well—that the American Rapnblie will
follow the example of the old Roman Republic,
which always embarked upon a foreign war after
' a civil convulsion, so as to induce a unity of nas
tional spirit.
With these indications before them, and with
the unofficial dispatches of our Ministers and
Consuls abroad, Mr. Seward and the President
aie convinced that this is the most cii’ical time,
so far as regards our relations with foreign pow*
ers, that we have had since the commencement of
the war. We cannot afford to permit England to
destroy onr commerce, nor aliow France to pur
' sue her designs on New Orleans. This stale of
affairs has made the President and Secretary of
State rnxious to settle np onr present quarrel.
They believe that proper measures taken now
would restore the Union and put an cud to the
present unhappy war. From what I hear, lam
inclined to believe that measures are now on foot
looking to this end. * * The programme is
that the Territories, as decided m the recent Cone
gress, shall remain free forever—thus preventing
the extension of slavery. Slaves freed by the
march of our armies will remain free.
Missouri is to oeeoma a free State, ah she has
j chosen to be, and Maryland and Delaware may
| also be tree if they should so deuide. But the
I other slave States are to retain sued ot the slaves
as will be under the actual control of tho masters
at the end of the war. Mr. Seward argues that
slavery has received a blow In this country from ,
which it can never recover, and that it would he
better to leave the natural causes at work to end
it than to convert the South into a desert by de>
priving it of lie laboring population.
It is understood that the pi&n will not suit the
radicals, and the embarrassment ot Ur. Lincoln
cow is not to bong about a re-uoion so much as
to know what to do with his party in case he
should consent to a peace. The situation is a :
perplexing one, and will call out all the sagacity
and administrative ability of the people in power.
