Col. VV in. Gibson.
• Mm its. Editors: —Perhaps all your
a#' !'1 know that the gallant, accomplish
ei, high .muled gentleuian whoso name
heads this article, is a candidate for the
Judgeship in this District, in opposition to
Judge Hook, i have known the latter
f ntlenmi well !br many years, and 1 have
nothing to say ag dn.st him as a man or a
member of society. For the position of
Judge, however, I prefer his gallant oppo
nent. 1 have known him in civil life for
many years, and have been associated with
him during our late struggle lor indepon
de .ee, and 1 feel assured that the people of j
the Di.-.trict will honor themselves in honor
ing the gallant commander of the old 48th j
1 t “ '• lam considerably amu.-ed when
line t any of my companions in the old j
forty- hig.ith, whom Hibson so often led to
battle and to victory in our late terrible
war. One man, whose son belonged to
* hi- regiment, remarked to me not long ago,
“My son would walk to Louisville barefoot
to vote for Col. Hibson; I like Hook heis
a nice man and a good Judge, hut ‘Gibson
saw the elephant,’ When he was shot
down at the head of his regiment, in
W right’s grand charge in the battle of
Hettj “burg —here the tears gushed from
his eye**, and his utterance became so
choked that he could not go on.
1 lie mime of (Jihson has set the wire grass
on fiie; and while all the old Forty-Eighth,
their families and friends like Judge Hook,
they fairly liaJi and blaze when the name
oft.*:!.-mi is mentioned. “Billy Gibson !
why, sir, getting to ho a Colonel did not
make a fool of him ; lie was no stuck-up;
he never l lion I* lit himself too good to talk
to a poor soldier. When we were sick, or
in any trouble, Col. uibson always did
everythin'' ho could for us. When we
marched into Maryland, and had nothing
to eat. but green, raw corn, Col. Gibson
fared a.-* we di !, and he used every effort in
his i "wer to see that wo had something to
jcat. He was a father to us all through the
war, and we cant forget him now.”
And this witness is true, for I belonged
to CM. Gibson’s regiment myself, enjoyed
his noble, manly, simple-hearted, disinter
ested friendship, and here record my feeble j
testimony to that of the hardy veterans j
w ho. 0 fame, for all time, is linked with his !
own.
I do not ask the readers of this article to
vote for Col: Gibson at the coming election.
1 simply wi ll all men to take a look at him
:►* he is :!:•* urbane gentleman; the tie
coinpliMuM lawyer: the experienced Judge;
the clear In tided, ever busy, ever useful
legislator ; the brave, war-beaten soldier.
The Senate of the Georgia Legislature ha *
honored itself by making him its President,
and 1 look for nothing else than his election
to the Judgeship, over his distinguished
competitor.

a deficiency of 2,000,000 bales. The price

lack of supply would seem at first sight

suppose that the price of an article of con

for instance, were to diminish one half,
the effect would be to raise the price more j
than double. Some think it is more fair j

Mexican Affairs.
Washington, December G, p. M.—The j
correspondence of the Secretary of State i
with Minister Bigelow, on tlie subject of
Mexican affairs, stows his anxiety for the ;
French to evacuate that country according j
to tho Emperor’s programme. Seward to
Minister Campbell, October 20th, in giv
ing instructions, mentions somo principles
which may be safely laid down in regard to
the poliy which the Government of the
United States expects him to pursue. The
communications must be made to Presi
dent Juarez, and in no event must lie offi
cii! !!y recognize Prince Maximilian, or any
one else, without having first reported to tlie ,
State Department, and received instruc- i
done from the President of the U. States, t
lie must abstain from obstructing or !
embarrassing the departure of the French.
What the Government of the United 1
States desire iu regard to tho future of ;
Mexico is not tlie conquest or agrandizc- |
ment of the United States by the pur-j
chases of land or dominion but on the
other hand they desire to see the people of
Mexico relieved from all foreign military
intervention, to the end that they may
resume the conduct of their own affairs
under the existing republican Govern-
ments, or such other form of governmens j
as, being left in the enjoyment of perfect j
liberty, they shall determine to adopt in the ;
exercise of their own freewill by their own !
act without dictation from any’ foreign J
country, and of course without dictation I
from the United States, lie must enter ;
into no stipulation with the French
commanders or with Maiimilian or ;
any party which shall have a ten- j
deney to counteract or oppose the I
administration of Juarez, or hinder 1
and delay the restoration of the authority
of tlu- Republic. Gn the other hand, it:
may possibly happen that the President of
the Republic of Mexico may desire the
good office of tbe United States, or even i
some effective proceedings on our part to ■
favor and advance the pacification of a
-so long distracted by foreign, com
bined with civil, war; and thus gain time !
for the re-establishment of National author-,
ity upon principles consistent with a re
publican and domestic system of Govern
ment., It is possible, moreover, that some
disposition might be made of the land and
naval forces of the United States without
interfering within the jurisdiction ol Mexi
co or violating the laws of neutrality, which
would be useful in favoring the restoration
of the laws, order, and Republican Govern
! meat in that country.
Minister Campbell is infracted to re
fer any Important proposition on tbe
subject of re-organization, jec., of the
republican government in Mexico as may
arise, to the Sriate Department for the in
formal; nos the President. The Genera]
of the United States possesses already dis
cretionary authority as to the location of the
Unite dStates forces in the vicinity of Mexico.
The President desired Gen. Grant to ac
company Mr. Campbell as an adviser, but
it not being convenient for him to go,
Lieut. Gen. Sherman was designated.
The cable dispatches from Mr. Seward to
Mr. Bigelow, Minister to France, dated
Nov. 23, appears in the correspondence,
in which Seward instructs him to say to
the French Government, that ours is sur
prised and affected with deep concern by
the announcement now made for the first
time, that the promised recall of one de
tachment of French troops from Mexico
in November current, had been postponed
! v the Emperor. Seward instructs mm
further to say—in full reliance upon at least
a literal performance of the Emperor s
existing agreements —we have taken
while facilitating the anticipated
French evacuation to co-operate with the
j Republican Government of Mexico for
promoting the pacification of that country.
: f or the early and complete restoration
of the proper constitutional authority. Asa
part of these measures. Campbell, our Min
. ister, attended by Lt- General Sherman, uus
I been sent to Mexico to confer with Presi
dent Juarez on the subjects which are
deeply interesting to the United lttat.es,
j and of vital importance to Mtiice. lou
1 1’< • 'dent earnestly
hopes and expects? the evacuation of Mex
ico will be carried into effect with such con
formity to the. existing agreement as the
; Inopportune complication which calls for
this dispatch will a!l*»w. Mr. Campbell
will be advised of that complication. In
; structions will Lc issued to the l nited
! States military forces of observation to
await in every case special instructions
from the Prc.-ident. This will be done
with confident expectation. The telegraph
! or mail may reasonably bring us a satisfac
tory resolution from the Emperor in reply
; to this note. You will assure the French
* Government that the United States, while
! they seek the relief of Mexico, desire noth
ing more earnestly than to preserve peace
and friendship with Franco. Nor do -s the
j President allow himself to doubt that what
■ has been determined on in France most in
auspiciously, we think, has been decided
. upon inadvertently, without full reflection
upon the embarrassment it must produce,
here, and without any design to retain the
j French expeditionary forces in Mexico be
yond the full period of eighteen months,
! originally stipulated for the evacuation.
Bir Frederick Bruce and t!ie Fenian
Prisoners.
Washington, December 7. noon.—Sir
Frederick Bruce has officially informed the
Secretary of State that the prosecution of
■ the Fenian prisoners in Canada is uot con
-1 ducted in any vindictive or harsh spirit.
He is authorized to state that the whole
, question of the disposal of such of the
! prisoners as may be convicted has been
referred for decision to Her Majesty’s
Government, who will certainly he ani
mated by the desire so to deal with it as
to secure peace and harmony between the
populations living in such immediate
proximity and separated by a long frontier
so easily traversed.
