Evening Mirror. MACON, JANUARY 19, 1866. T. A. BUB.XE, ..... Editor. The President’s Message on Mexican Affairs, . In compliance wijh a resolution of the House of Representatives, President Johnson has laid before that body a report of the Acting Secre tary of State, with copies of diplomatic corres pondence in reference to the assumed Imperial claims of Maximilian. It seems that Maximilian formally and by letter conveyed by special en voy to the President, demanded the recognition by the United States of the Empire of Mexico. That the President refused even to consider the demand, and Mr. Seward returned the letter to il. de Montholon, through whom it was present ed, saying “that the United States was in friendly communication with the Republican Government of Mexico, and that, the President declined to receive the letter <flrto hold communication with the agent who brought it.” That answer was about as positive and emphatic a repudiation of the Empire as it was possible for official authority to convey, without intemperate language There remained the French Government to deal with, and in that di rection the correspondence is equally pertinent, pointed and conclusive. M. Drouyn de Lhuys, as “ the basis of an understanding with the Government of Washington,” required “ to be assured that it is not its intention to impede the consolidation of the new order of things found in Mexico, and the best guarantee the French Government could desire would be the recogni tion of the Emperor Maximilian by the Federal Government.” Mr. Seward replied: I regret to be obliged to say the condition which the Emperor presents is one which seems to be im practicable.” He plainly gave the French Em peror to understand that the United plates “re gard the attempt to establish permanently a foreign and Imperial Government in Mexico as disallowable and impracticable.’' He said that the policy of “friendship with France” “would be brought into imminent jeopardy, unless France could deem it consistent with her honor and interests to desist from the prosecution of armed intervention in Mexico;” and he de clared “that the United States will not recog nize Maximilian, even if the French troops should be withdrawn from Mexico.” All this is plain talk—direct, and to the purpose. University op Georgia.—A business letter from the accomplished President of this institu tion, informs the Columbus Enquirer, that the University opened wit h a considerable number of students, and that everything bids fair for a most successful session. This will be gratifying to Georgians especially, who should all feel an interest in its success and prosperity. JStsT The New York Chamber of Commerce has decided against co-operating in a movement to call together a national convention to devise measures to increase the production of cotton in the United States, on the ground that its culti vation is manifestly so important and profitable that “the promptings of personal interest wilt secure the desired results,” and that “this mo tive is already attracting the capital requisite to produce a large crop of cotton for the ensuing year.” This conclusion appears to have been reached after a careful investigation of the sub ject, and it serves to confirm other evidences of the success of the free-labor system in theSo(§th. A JjKw Fire Extinguisher. —It is said that a new fire-engine has been contrived, originating in the fact that water charged with ten tithes its Weight of carbonic acid is a complete extinguish er of fire. The compound is cheaply made and used with facility, being put into a small reser voir, which a man caries easily on his back to any place required, without more hindrance to active exertion than that caused by carrying an ordinary knapsack. Arrived at the place of ac tion, all the.fireman has to do is to turn a cock and direct the jet by means of a flexible tube and mouth piece upon the fire, the machinery inside giving the power of a force pump capable of throwing the jet forty feet high. The mate rial is as harmless to life, health or property as an ordinary seidlitz powder, is ready for instant use, and the longer it lias been stored in the vessel the more effective it is in action. It will extinguish a conflagration in less than five minutes—“almost instantaneously,” and costs from sl2 to $25 —elegant in shnpe and might easily be manufactured in styles that would adapt it ns an ornament either to the dining or drawing room, and thus confer upon every pri vate family of moderate means the inestimable blessing es security from one of the greatest calamities that can befall them, a disastrous and fata! fire.
