The projected Intervention of England
and France for the pacifcation of Mexico
has at length taken form, and there is a
prospect that it will be realized, to the ad-
vantage Of that long distracted country.
The plan includes suspension of hostilities
for year and an attempt to evoke new
government directly from the people, There
may be some doubts as TO the success OF
this last undertaking, but peace for year
will be great blessing to the people of
Mexico, aud in that time there is reason to
hope that something will turn up to make
sure better future.

ARREsr.-We find the following account
Of q transaction in which our county igures,
in the Cleveland Leader A few DAYS ago
a man registered his name at the American
House at Columbus, as r. S. Coe, of New
York. He called upon Mr. Peter Balm, a
heavy dealer in the city, and presented a
letter of introduction from Mr.. Cone of
the well known firm of Rushmore, Cone &
Co., New York, and with whom Mr.. Balm
had done much business. The next day
he requested Mr.. Balm to go to the Bank
with him and introduce him. Mr. B. did
so. aud Mr.. Coe presented draft for
tl515, drawn by the Cashier Of the
Central Bank Of Cherry Valley N. Y, up
on the American Exchange Bank Of New
York. IL was properly endorsed, and was
accepted by the Columbus house of Bart
lett' smith x Co., and paid In the after.
noon OF that day, Mr.. Coe left "for Licking
comfy to bny wool.o In due time the
draft was returned from the American Bank
as forgery. Mr. Balm was next Informed
that Rushmore, Cone & Co. of New York
hSd given no letter Of introduction IN ,ST
B. Coe.' On the letter being forwarded
TO them, they at once recognized the hand.

hereabouts, are not, it would seem from the fol-
lowidg paragraph, the only ones secured by this
missionary work. 1t brings into activity and

otherwise supposed to have but questionable
existence, and gives additional effect to the com
mand TO multiply and repeni,h the earth. Its
incidental effect is also to add TO the stores of

giving it greater power, and more widespread
influence. The benevolent institutions of the

Of poor human nature, is palpably and encour-

A VERY VALUABLE NEGREss.-We have
heretofore noticed in our paper the very re
markable instance of precodty furnished
by Mr.. Samuel EVerett'S negro girl, who be-
came the mother Of a stout, healthy child
few months after she had completed her
eleventh year. We take some interest in
reporting again, although sixteen months
have not elapsed since the former catastro
phe happened, and she has not yet attained
her thirteenth year by several months, that
she has become the mother of a second
promising baby.

JUDICIAL TRIcKERY-The trick by which
Judge Terry, the murder of Broderick was
acquitted, was by the removal of the case
to Marin county, where friend Of the
criminal, Judge Hardy, sat on the bench.
and the witnesses for the state having been
detained on the way, Intentionally without
doubt, the case was given to the jury with.
out word of testimony and the acquittal
was matter of course. The witnesses ar.
rived two hours after this judicial farce had
taken place. So gross a perversion of jus-
tiGe by so bold and indef4nsible trick
must awaken public Indignation even in
California.

under the act of March 8, 1859, for certi.
flying invoices of goods made dnty free by

holds first, that no more than dfty cents
can be charged for the entire certificate,
without reference to its form: second, that

the act applies to .ConSuls in al! British

A Washington correspondent Of tho New

writes that from present appearances the
strife between the two wings Of the Democ-
racy will throw most Of the Southern States
into the hands of Bell and Everett. So bit.
ter and uncompromisng has the feeling
become among the leaders, that they openly
avow their preference for Bell, to the rival
of their faVorite. This, added to the con.
vction that Lincoln and Hamlin will Ger.
tainly carry all the Northern States, excep
perhaps California, and thus be elected by
the people, reconciIes them to defeat il
the Southern States out of pure revenge o
both factions"

From .hs New York Tribune.

II appears that the tortuous and double
faced policy which the pretended friends Of
BELL aud EVERETT are pursuing in this
State is doing great injury to that ticket in
those Southern States where it has strength,
and might reasonably hope to obtain elcc-
torOl votes. On this head, the Baltimore
Patriot says:
awe begin now to suspect that for every
ten Democrats whom Douglas may detach in
the South from Breckenridge, Col Bell will lose
os many Of his old friends, who will rally to
Breck aud Lane. The detection Of so many
prominent men already from the Bell and Ever
EFT cause, will, we fear not be without its SER
ous effect, for the reason that these arc repre-
sentative men. Aud the policy recommended
by Gov. Hunt and Mr. Brooks Of New Y York,
TO unite with two life long enemies to absorb
the Bell and Everett ticket, is not calculated to
encourage the honest Southern supporters Of
Col. Bell, who are going 10 for him against the
field"
This is not surprising. The truth seems
to be that Brooks and Hunt have never
been honestly in favor Of Bell, but have all
along been standing on that peculiar com
mercial platform which admits the claim of
the highest bidder as the supreme principle
of right. Since the Republicans wouldn't
buy them, knowing them to be, as Thurlow
Weed told Hunt, mot worth saving" they
could only hope TO deal with Democrats.
Accordingly, they have now got things fix
ed so that they can trade with either Breck-
inridge or Douglas. As for Bell, nothing
can save him from being sold cut in this
State except a possible unwiingness to buy
on the part Of both Democratic factions.
"WruoUr SnAME"-WITHoUT SIYoERIry."-
The Toledo Blade in noticing the Cuyahoga
Convention of Breckenrdgeites remarks:
A series of resolutions was passed en-
dorsing the Pro-Sayery grounds of the
Breckenridge National Convention. They
go the entire length Of Northern servility
to Southern exaction. The only advantage
they possess over the Douglasites is the
frankness aud drectness Of their subservi.
ency. They roll in the dust Of slavery,
and don't care who knows it while the
other faction undertake to row one way
and to appear to look another. One is
without shame, aud the other is without
sincerity.
