INTERESTING SHAPING MATTES ON 4TH PAOK
AMERICA, MEXICO AND FRANCE
We place before our readers, as a sign of
the times, the following “ leader ” from the
Weekly Loudon Timet, of 81st December
last. The tone of the article is remarkable
as an e'egant specimen of roaring as gently as
a sucking dove. Who, a few years back,
could have expected to sea this “ Thunderer ”
wooing “ our Amerioan cousins” in such dul
cet accents as this, “we heartily thank the
Americans for intending, in a quiet, business
like way, to give the French Government a
salutary lessen, of which it stands decidedly
in need ” —or ns this, “the Americans are
quite rieht in objecting that any portions of
their continent shall once more become the
scenes of the military aggressions and politi
cal schemes of European Powers:
The session of the American Parliament com
trances wiih incidents that ought to ware Ns
poicon 111 of the dangerous position in which
his mad scheme of a Mexican Empire has
Disced him. Two Important members of th*
Bepnblican partv have introduced into the
Senate, and the House of Representatives, re
solutions eondemnine the French intervention
on behalf of the so called Empire Os Mex-00. 1 h
French had n grievance against the old Mexi
can authorities, but they had not the slighter
right to overthrow the Republican government
and manufacture the country into an Empire
for an Austrian Archduke. The pretence o'
free local action was notoriously untrue, an t
'the Mexican Empire would not have had halt
an hour’s ex ! R<ence. had It not been for French
and other troons sent, fr m Europe to prop n
up Senator Wade and General Schenk evi
der.tly speak for the American people who,
tbev ohj ct. to this sort of interference with the
affairs of the New World, and although lim
will be given for deliberation, the American
government will be compelled to make very
strong representations to the- French Empire as
to the daneer that mn«t ensue if Napoleon per
Anus in tfforts to keep Maximilian on his throne
The resolutions of Senator Wade and Gene
ral Schenck are to exactly the game effect, and
thev mav be taken as the action of the most
moderate and respectable ot American point
cal parties In conformity with American
parliamentary practice, both resolutions are
referred to the Committee on Foreign Affaire,
which the two branches of the Legislator* ap
point to consider all such questions. Chari™
Sumner and General Banks are the Chairmen
of these committees, which will have to repor
and advise. There c»n be no doubt tba the
American people would deplore and endeavor
to avoid a quarrel with France, and no predp
itate actio is likely to be recommend'd b>
the two committees or bv the gentleme
whose names we have mentioned ; but a deci
ded expression of opinion must tend to bring
matters to a crisis, and place the French m
peror in a position that will not admit 0? mud
Shrffi ng or delay The Mexican people will b'
Btn-nslv *’n<*onrafT j rt o fi(?ht Against Maxinn
inn py knowir g that public feeling on their

This, o’ itself. will pot the new Empire in dim
cutties fm m which it is not likelv to extricat'
4'm-M '»V*hont 'nr her aid fr- m Enr"pe. Tl-‘
Austrian ytivt-TTiTnetit will not get, deener in!
debt hv undertaking to support an Empire of
which Francis Joseph oft HV* advisers nev. i
heartily approved, and If France »v,o«id fit on
an expedition of any magnitude, it w\i\ v>t\o
American feelings to a fever-heat. Mr John
son will be as concilitatory towards Napoleon
as circumstances will permit, and ss he
that the Mexican Ronp’reAas no local strength
he knows that nothing short, of very powerftr
and continuous aid Iron) abroad can keep h
much longer on its lees Under such circum
stances the Americans wil! not onarrel with
France unless the French government mani
fests more imprudence .ban is consistent with
the usual shrewdness of its-chief.
No one can have any particular sympathv
with the Mexicans. They kept their country in
chronic disorder, and did no credit to the Re
publican people ; but these are days In whio
expeditions for conquest cannot be approved,
nud the Americans are quite right in objecting
that any portions of their continent shall once
moro become the scenes of the military aggros
slon and political schemes of European Powers
To cmtnhlimh Fre uoh Influence on Amerioan soil,
and to place an arbitrary boundary and barrier
rgainat Republican Institutions, was obviously
Napolcon’s desire, and we ee in the violence
and iiSolence of Rpsin towards Ohili that she
while neglecting her own business, would like
to revive an authority that pasaed away be
cause it was hopelessly corrupt. Tbe America !.
people have & clear moral right to atop this
sort of action Thev never came to Europe to
insist, upon this or that country accepting Re
publican institutions, or a President of their
nomination, and they are entitled to ask Bure
peso (It'spo'i-msoud mixed monarchies to ex r -’’
ctse equal prudence and self-denial.
The general interests of civilization are op
posed to suoh expeditions ns that of the French
to Mexico, and the Anericaus will render goo '
aerWco to public law and liberty If they Inai*'
upon its.coming to an end. Btrong powers
wil! Dover cease to find excuses for meddling
with other peoples' concerns, under the pre
tence of putting them to rights, aud a very
wholesome check will be given to the policy
of violence by the judicious attitude of the
United States A little more wisdom would
itave induced Napoleon to retire at an earlier
stage. As it is, whenever he withdraws front
Moxieo everybody will see that he doea ao on'-
of a wholesome fear of a republic against,
which his Empire would be like the earthen
pot in the fable, if matters came to a crash.—
The inso'ence of despotism wants a strong re
‘ buff, and we heartily thank the Americana for
intending in a quiet business like way to give
the French government a salutary lesson o (
which it stands decidedly in need.
The Confederates in Mexico.
The Mexican Times, printed in the City of
Mexico. November 11, has an article on th”
Confederates who sought a shelter in Mexioo.
It enys they did so:
‘Tn like manner did the Irish patriots, and
Kossuth and his companions fir to the United
States. They were received with open arms
TTipy were not only feted and dined everywhere
•with great hospitality, but much material aid
was given them. The United States govern
mem c j ven sent a ship of war to take Kossntt.
and his companions to New Turk, making
thsm the guests. To this tlm
Fmperor of Austria made no formal protest—
entered no complain' whatever. Just so roo'
as hiR M-j’sty the Emperor Maximilian found i
exiled Confedera e< in his dominions he re -
ceived them kindly. He received them horn
less, houseless, penny less, and extended t
them the same hospitality which the govern
ment of the United States had ever extended
to all political exiles.

_,V. „ Dearth of Cotton.
If anything can obstruct the gradual march
of the country in its career of prosperity and
power, it will be the neglect and decline of
our cotton product. "A continued dearth of
this product will be felt injuriously by all our
interests, political and financial, foreign and
domestic. A revival and extension of the
cotton culture is necessary for the maintenance
f our public credi'. Without it we eaDnot
expect an early return t j a specie standard.—
With it onr government securities will rise to
par, and without it they are worth but seventy
oente in tbe dollar.
Tbe New York Chamber of Commerce, hav
ing considered the expediency of a cotton
growers’ convention, determined wisely that
the cotton growing interest most be left to the
care of individual enterprise, stimulated, as it
will he, by bigh.proflts.
It is believed, however, that, in the most
hopeful view that can be taken of tbe cotton
product of 1866, each a dearth of cotton will,
be experienced this year as to raise the price
before next September to a dollar a pound
The government so far inclines to this belief
that it has suspended tbe sales of captured cot
ton in New York.
Egypt, Brasil and tbe East Indies will not
afford much relief to tbe cotton market this
and subsequent years, for reasons that are
well understood In Egypt the culture was
carried to such extent, under the prompting
of rising prices, that it sarionsly interfered
witfc the produce of grain. The scarcity and
cost of breadstuff’s became so great that the
culture of cotton has been prohibited. In Bra
zil the cotton culture caused a neglect of the
growth of coffee, th s chief staple of that re
gion, and is therefore so unprofitable as to be
to a great extent abandoned. In India, not
withstanding tbe vast suras expended in the
promotion of the production and transporta
tion of cottOD, the effect has not proved a suc -
cess as to qu-ntity or quality.
We must therefore turn again to the cotton
fieldß of the United States for a supply of the
; indispensable staple.
The cotton report of Messrs. Neil, Brothers
& Co., New Orleans, for December 30. 1865,
contains important suggestions and es imates
as to the cotton supply on band, and the pro
duct to be expected for tbe year 1886.
They estimate the total supply of old and
new cotton for 1865 at two millions and one
hundred thousand bales, which exceeds by a
large sum estimate made by Mr. McCulloch.—
The Memphis Commercial scans the New Or
leans estimate, aud reduces it to seventeen hon
drad thousand bales The receipts at all the
ports and forwdfced North amount to one mil
lion three hundred and sixty thousand new
hales, and while some districts are exhausted,
others are being opened as the rivers rise
As to the product of the present year, after a
personal survey of the cotton growing region
and a consideration of the labor question as it
presents itself under different aspects and in
different plans, Messrs. Neil, Brothers k Co,
give tbe following estimate :
Estimate Supply sf Cotton for 1866- 67, (Sep
tember till September.)
• Bales.
North and South Carolina.. 88,000 to 160 000
Georgia and Florida 160.000 to 200,000
; Mobile ’ 300 000 to 350.000
! New Orleans 560,000 to 650 000
Texas (prop-r) 170 000 to 200 000
Memphis and North .250 000 to 800.000
1,600,000 to 1.fi00.000
Thus it will be seen that we only anticipate
from 280 000 to 300.000 bales from the Atlantic
States and Florida, and as much as 1 300,000
to 1,600 000 from the great Southwest. At
least such were the indications in the several
States at the times of our visits to eaob, and we
vive the figures for what they are worth. I
the prospects have since improved materially in
the Atlantic States, wo have not yet satisfacs
torv evidence of the fact, although we think it
not improbable that they will improve.
The Memphis Commercial, in commenting on
this estimate, gives reasons for the opinion that
it is somewhat exaggerated, and expresses the
belief that the entire prodmtf will not exceed a j
million and a quarter of bites.
The Macon (Ga ) Journal, of the 10th instant. 1
trikes a hopeful view of the subject, as follows :
Cotton is once moje financial king, and, as of
vore. all eyes turn southward for the great
financial remedy.
Let us deduce from the facts one plain les
son. The wealth of Southern soil must aud
will be developed. It cannot be pe'mitted to
lie idle. The safety and prosperity of every
financial Interest of this vest country is pledged
to the production of large cotton crops, and
they must bo f 'rthcoming, If they cannot be
produced by free negro labor, then some other
will be brought into requisition, and the colored
Idlers must stand aside. The present is an ex
perimental year. The North will await the
development of their favorite theory, that free
negro labor must be more effective than slave
lahor. If It fails, capital, ingenuity and enter
prise will exhaust themselves, if necessary, in
supplying the deficiency.
Let no man, therefore, give In to the idea
that the value of his cotton lands is altogether
dependent upon the success of the free negro
problem. On the contrary, the deficiency of the
crop may correspondingly stimulate prices, and
the high prices, reacting upon the rage for pro
duction, backed by a large influx of Northern
Capital. may well push up the value of open
cotton lands in the South to a point unknown
in previous h istory.
.Life in Brazil.
Immediately after tbe termination of the war
a number of Confederate officers .est the South
with tho view of finding a home in Brazil.—
This fever ot emigration to Brazil still exists in
some parts of the Soirh, and on this account
tha following notes ot travel in Brßiil, written
by an ex-Confederate, possess a peculiar in
terest at this time. The obßervatiovs are as
gathered in that country the month of July.
* • * 0 We have arrived at our port
of destination, Rio Janeiro. Wa find the
weather is not very hot here, as we feared—
it is about like that, of Virginia in June.—
There is a fine breeze here ! the nights are quite
cool. Went, to the police office and got our
passports, which were sent there by the offi
cials on the steamer ; all passports are required
to be revised by these functionaiers. Last
night we went to the theatre. It was all in
language unknown to us, but ihe dancing and
acting were interesting.
About two or three miles from Rio Janeiro
is situated the Emperor's palace. It is on a
high elevation, with magnificent walks, ar
bors, etc., surrounding it. 48 we passed
along, we saw coffee plantations on all sides.
One coffee tree yields from twenty to one hun
dred pounds of coffee. The berries are green,
r c d ail black in the same cluster, which re
sembles our cherry somewhat. The country
is very mountainons. The coffee, sngar cane
and corn fields are on hills nearly perpendicular:
' r hev never use plows to till the land, but
simply the common hoe. Some of the plantar
tiens turn out from SIOO 000 to $150,000
worth of coffee per nnnn n, and have as many
as three tho- sand negroes/ We see any quan
tity of oranges and ban tunas growing.
The scenery going over the mountains is
grand, and (he finest I have ever seen. The
railroad (s completed about, one hundred miles
*frora Rio, and to enable the company to use j
it, they have built a temporary rosd over J
this mountain while the" tunnel is building.
The svalent of slavery in this conntry is of i
the hardest kind. You see nil the negroes that
have boon brought, from Africa have their faces
ho'rr b ! y gashed more or less It was done in
Afric*, to distinguish what tyibe they belong to.
Those born here have not these marks. It Is
S’me fifteen or twenty years since the slave
trade was stopped here, but frequently they are
run into the country. Tho worst and most re
pulsive part of tbe custom is, that where a
negro is fuuud free or emancipated, he is al
lowed to associate by marriage and otherwise
with the first iu the Empire. It is laughable
to are both sexes of Degrees going through the
streets sieging aud talking themselves, gen
erally in their native tongue. As a general
thing, they have loads on their heads, ranging
from a diamond piu to a sack of coffee, na well
as large round baskets filled with various arti
cles or, In some instances, five or six empty
flour barrels.
They have extensive markets here, well sup
p’ied with ail kinds of fruit, fish, poultry, veg
etables. tt«. The fowls are very large—-chick
ens as large as our turkeys, ducks as large as
our geese, turkeys-weigh from 20 to 30 pounds.
Tbe curreucy here is called copp*r coin,
which is forty reis, the siae of a Canada cop
per, Twenty-five dumps are one mlllrels,
making 1,000 reis for one millreis. One mill
reis is but fifty cents of cur coin. Their paper
currency is trom 1 to 1,000 millreis, A contey
is 10 000 millreis, or say SSOO.
We had our hands full looking around, and
expect to be kept busy while here. -
The Brazilian ladies, if such they eat» be
called, go about in a half Miked condition.
The authorities are very anxious, and hold
out every inducement *o emigrants.
Three v.‘n« rable ladies survive who were of
the choir of young girls that, dressed In white,
greeted Washington as be entered Trenton, in
seventeen hundred and eighty-nine, on his way
to as ume the Presidency, and who strewed his
paihway with flowers. One yet lives in Tren
ton, anptljer, the mother of tbe Hon. Ifr. Cheat-,
nut, formerly Senator from South Carolina,
and the third, Mrs. Sarah Hand, resides in
Cape May county, N. J.
The census returns show tbit the total,num
ber of Indians in the United Staten is three
hundred apd seven thousand. About five
thousand were in tha service of tbs
during the war, and some thousands ow* wers

THE GREAT SOUTHERN PAPER.
THE RICHMOND EX 4 MINER.
THE RICHMOND FXAMINER.
THE RICHMOND EXAMINER.
THE DAILY RICHMOND EXAMINER
was revived on the 9th of December, «nd has al
ready attained a circulation and poprt'arity that
nlaces it in the front rank of the public journals
of the S'Utb. The people everywhere seem to re
cognise in its columns the same bold ant fearle«s
spirit that ever dlsringuLhed it In the past. The
EXAMINER is peculiarly
THE PAPER OP THE SOUTH.
During ihe war it exercised an irflience which
nrnbably no other singlenewspeperever h’d in so
large a untry, and at such an Important jnne
ture of affair*. It was notoriously the favorite of
♦he army, and aoompanied it everywhere. In
Virginia, during tho Peninsular campaign, Gen.
A. F Hill bad read in general orders, at the head
of his command, the editorials of the Examiner
s« Incitements to his soldiers. In Texa», General
Mseruder complained that he was deprived of the
daily entertainment »n J stimulation of the Rich
moi d Examiner. No ene can appreciate the
history of the recent, war without admitting the
Inspiration and influence of tb's remarkable
journal.
THE EXAMINER’S "CORRESPONDENCE—
DAILY LETTEkS FROM WASHINGTON.
The Examiner has organised a full corps oi
o«rrespondents, and wil) have regular letters from
all the important points of int lllnenee In th»
country. By special good fortune it has secured,
at greet expense, the services of the oldest and
most Intelligent of all the Washington correspond
ents; the same gentleman who, for a great many
years, wrote for the Baltimore Sun under the rig
natnre of “ Ion,” and whose letters were better
known and more extenaivelv copied into the
papers of the country than any letters ever sent
from Washington. He will write regularly for
the Examiner, and send a letter from Washington
BTKRY I>AT.
TO BUSINESS MEN-TBE EXAMINER AS

The. attpnt'on of the merchants and business
rain la respectfully called to the unequalled ad

the time of the evacuation of Richvond. and for a

that of all the other Richmond papers combined.
We declare, without anv affectation of m detitv
about it. that the Examiner is unequalled aa an
