article required and we may, indeed, sup
pose the case Of cotton rising to such an ex
travagant price as to make it profitable to
cart it through Texas into Mexico, and
through Mexico as far as Tampico. AS tor
munitions of war, supplies of clothing, aud
many other objects, the demand is alreadyso
great in the South that ifthey had money to
pay for them, their importation, by however
roundabout and expensive a way, would
prove profitable.
So far the prospect looks tempting for the
English and French traders. But we find IL
authoritatively stated in the Washington Re-
publican that Mr.. Corwin, our Minister to
Mexico, has really obtained permission Of
the Mexican Government TO allow the free
and unrestrained passage Of our troops
through Mexico, when necessary to operate
against the rebels" If this is trae, our Gov
erDment will take care TO place such diff
culties in the way Of the proposed trade as
will make it no longer profitable or entic-
ing. This can be easily done, because the
roads connecting the two countries are few,
and the Rio Grande forms a natural bound
ary which ia easily guarded.
The Mexicans know what fate they have
to expect if our insurgents should be able to
establish themselves. They have heard the
Southern threats of the wholesale ensIave-
ment OF MexicRns; they feel that in this war
their most vital Interests gre with US; and
neither the Mexican Government nor people
will place any obstacle in the way of our mo-
tions against the insurgents in that quarter.

Russia and America.

The London Times pays more attention to
the American letter of the Czar than is con.
sistent with q sense of security. That paper
feels naturally bitter in view of the fact that
an utterly different race has interpo5ed its
alien sympathies TO supply the deficit of
those which America might have expected
from its own flesh and blood, and wince5
pardonably as it remembers that Great Bri-
tain may lose a friendship which has been
far more valuable to her than to us, and
which she is certainly conscious Of having
done little to retain.
Undoubtedly there are many grounds of
sympathy between America and Russia,
which do not exist between America and
England. In Russia there is absolute polti-
cal equality, more absolute perhaps than the
best constructed democracy can ever secure.
The spirit Of its external policy has been
hitherto uniformly aggressive, and the doc
trine Of manifest destiny had been the creed
of the nation hundred years before il was
reinvented for the benefit of the United
States. If Peter the Great was not much
like Washington, he was not without a GER
tain resemblance to Jefferson and jackson,
the Jewelers. of American society and Amer
icau institutions.
"Then Russia has many negative recon-
mendations. She has no free trade to be
standing reproach to the retrograde tariffs of
the United States; she has no free press to
show how liberty may be enjoyed without
ribaldry or slander; she has no literature in
the same language to mortify by O sense of
its superiority; she has no Parliament to fix
upon itself the attention of the world and
oVershadow the deliberation of Congress- she
has no great mercantile marine to fill every
port and every sea; she has no undisputed
pre-eminence in the carrying trade Of the
Atlantic; she has no great colonies on the
American continent, the steady progress of
which in all arts of peaceful industry offers
notifying contrast to the waste and crimes
of a civil war; and she had to the month
of March of this present year the golden link
of slavery to attach to her the sympathies of
the Confeder States, link which can not
yet be said to be wholly broken.
"For these reasons we are sanguine that the
letter of the Emperor of Russia will meet
with a more favorable reception than would
have been accorded to similar missive from
Queen Victoria, and that in consideration of
the cordial sympathy which has so long ex-
listed between American Democracy aud
Russian Absolutism, the Emperor of Russia
may be forgiven what would be in others the
objectionable offense of striving to put an
end to a war the most fruitles5 and ground
less that history records, of counseing peace
where there is no peace, and of striving to
gain a hearing for the voice of reason and
common sense, amid the tumult of unrehect-
ing passion and of antipathies all the more
bitter because they are utterly groundleVs"
All of which means that Russia has no
reason to be jealous of the power, the trade,
the wealth and the literature of the United
States, and may therefore speak her honest
sentiments openly, and without qualification.

OF Passes.
NEW YORK, October ia dispatch from
New Orleans, of the 4th inst, to the Rich
mond Examiner, tells of one of the most i'm
portant achievements of the war so far. This
information is, that the New York blockad.
ing squadron have dug a passage through
the mud of one of the five mouths of the
Mississippi River to the Sand Spit, which
commands the whole five of them, and now
have the Vincennss Water Witch and two
other vessels of the squadron to protect the
prompt erection of works, which in less than
week will command all five of the mouths,
passes or entrances to and from the Missis-
sppi River. Once properly built, this work
aloi will absolutely control the communi-
cation of New Orleans with the sea as COM
pletely as blockading squadron Of twenty
ships of war could do.

LFrom the New York Tribune. ]


The London Post which is supposed to be
the mouthpiece OF Lord Palmerston aud of
the present British Government, publishes
the terms of an agreement between England,
France and Spain, to regulate the proposed
Intervention of those States in the affairs of
Mexico.
According 10 this statement, it is intended
to seize the principal Mexican ports on the
Gulf in order to obtain command OF the
custom receipts-one-h half of which is to be
retained for the benefit of the European
creditors of the Mexican Government, the
other half to be returned to that Govern
ment.
The total foreign commerce of Mexico
amounted in 1860 to about $4,000, 900; the
imports amounting to $26, 100000 and ex-
ports TO sos, 900, 900. OF this total sum, the
British trade was valued at $33, 400, 900; our
own at only So, ,7OO,O 600; that of France at
S., 500, 900; of Germany $2,0O0,000i of Spain
only 81, 100000.
The tariff regulations of Mexico are so fire.
quently changed that it is not easy to ascer-
tain the actual revenue derived from this
trade by the Government-and which will
fall into the hands of the three European
powers of course, if they take possession of
the custom houses. We may suppose how
ever, that they will have to manage affairs
with great economy TO make their occupa-
tion pay expenses; and the snare Wnlch VIII
remain for the poor creditors, whose wrongs
form the Ostensible cause for the movement,
is likely to be very small.
A command of the Mexican ports would
give to Great Britain and France certain
commercial connection with our infected
districts. The British cotton. spinners will
hope to get cotton by way of Texas the
British exporters and manufacturers viii
hope to get in arms, clothing and munition
of war by way of the Mexican ports.
The London Economist believes that cottol
will be got out, 'in quantities pretty exactl,

Copfscation In Missouri.

ST. LOUIS, October IL In the afternoon
session Of the Convention, among a number
Of resolutions offered and referred to various
committees, was the following offered by Mr..
Hitchcock: That the Committee on Ways
and Means be instructed to consider the ex-

all property so confscated first, to reim-
burse loyal citizens of the State for losses
sustained 10y them in support of the National
and State Governments and to the use of the
State, and that the committee shall report
by ordinance or otherwise.
Mr.. Howell moved reporting the resolu-
tion at once, stating that he did not wish
such resolutions to come before the commit
tee Of which he was member, even for con-
sideration.
The motion to reject it was lost-yeas %,
nays %.

A New Greek Church in Paris.

Rev. DR.. McClintock writes from Paris to
the New York Methodist:
A new Greek church was dedicated in
Paris on the 18th of September. tits a mag
ni6cent edi6ce, in the finest quarter of the
city, between the Arch of Triumph and the
Pare de Monceaux. The building is circu-
lar, and crowned with conical roof fanked
by four small cones, ending in pyriform
spires, surmounted by the Greek double
cross with pendant chains. The whole is
highly ornamented and gilt. The project
ing porch is approached by twelve steps, and
consists of spiral pillars supporting cupola
surrounded by gilt crown and q Greek
cross. Over the entrance is q painting in
the Byzantine style, on gold ground, re-
presenting the Virgin and the Infant Jesus
The form and ornamentation Of this church
make it one of the most striking edifices in
the city.
The conservatory service was performed
by Mgr. Leontius, Suffragan Archbishop of
Novogorod and St. Petersburg, who is the
first Russian bishop that has ever conse-

CHINESE LIFE The American Consul at
Swatow, China, has written letter to the
Rochester AdvertiSer, in which he states
some very interesting facts respecting the
habits and manners of the Chinese. Speak
ing of the people Of the district of Hankow,
some FIVE hundred miles above Shanghai,
and which has become, in the place of Cam
ton, the Dorado of the Empire, and the great
tea port of the country, he says they are a
bold, turbulent lawless set of rascals, in con-
slant war with each other. AS regards the
state of society, he expresses the opinion that
nothing like it is to be found anywhere else
in the world, not even in Africa. In proof
of this, we are told that boatmen at Swatow
and men at work are often seen "entirely
naked Female children are but of little
account in a region that is the most populous
of any in all the country. The correspondent
says that he ''can obtain large baskets full of
live, kicking Chinese babies "a dozen o.
more in each-for two dollars basket" He
adds, it is mot uncommon to find them by
the roadside or rolling on the beach"

ARIZONA TERRIToRY.-''Occasional," the

ing In relation to the new Territory;
have just seen copy of the Mesilla

silla, Arizona Territory, dated on the 10th of
August last. From this it appears that a
complete Secession Government has been Or
ganized there, from Governor down to JUS
tice of the Peace, the Governor being the
notorious John R. Baylor, well known for
his violent pro-slavery feelings. The Times
calls for troops, in order to enable the trait
ors to hold the Territory, and apprehends an
attack by way of Southern California, and
by the regular troops still quartered in the
| New Mexican department, now on the bOr'
deIs of Arizona. 1t appears that three regi
ments of these troops are in New Mexico
and it is supposed they could be largely in
creased from the floating population of the
neiehboring Territory Of Colorado. The
Times demands the determination OF the
whole Indian race. 1t boasts that, by thC
abandonment of Fort Staunton by the United
