Intervention.

That there will be an offer of mediation in
American affairs by European powers, we
now believe, ~ we have believed from the
beginning Of the war. But we have not
advised, nor do we now advise any relsaxa-
tion Of our own exertions, in the expectation
that such an intervention will occur. We
hsvs always argued that the best mode Of &C.
curing the recognition Of the Southern Con.
isdsracy and the mediation OF European pow
sfs, was the vigorous prosecution of the war

Colonel formerly Majorl Duval, now. of
the 9Th Virginia 1nfantFy, stationed at
Point Pleasant, was in the city yesterday.
The Colonel says it: is understood that
the rebels have been very busy sipce they
occupied the KahawhaS valley ia Carrying
away eyeythirg- that can possibly be of
use to them. They have already packed
away nearly all the, wheat. Salt is going
sOnthWatd by the wagon loads, and lis
said that women have come from distant
counties and carried the article away in
buckets SO badly do they stand ip need of it.
The position of the opposing, armies is
about the same as it was two weeks ago.
Col. Lighthurn, in whom the soldiers have
confidence, still occupies Point Pleasant,
and the rebels are in considerable force
only 4fsW miles distant. Lightburn feels
confident of his ability to hold his position.
a day or two ago some oountrymen
came into Point Pleasant and reported that
the rebels, fifteen thousand strong were
marching upon Col Lightburu. Asamat-
terSof preeautiOn preparations were mads
10 receive them, and force of cavalry was
seusept. ,NOlsuemy could be found witbiu

Magnitude OF Napoleon,s Mexican Ex-

The Emperor of the French is not at all
disposed to back down from his attempt to
subdne the Mexicans. OF course, so long
as he is sure he can ultimately beat the
Mexicans, he responds to the reports of
Freuchldefeat by sending out immense re.
inforcements. He has, therefore, dS,er-
mined on sending out an army of 10000
men to carry out his designs agatr = Mex.
leo beyond all possibility of fai;zrs. The
following from the Paris correspondents Of
the New York Times, throws some light on
this step ;sas el g sz5a1ua
"If the reports which come 20 me from the
newspaper Offices be true, the Mexican ques-
tion is assuming a gravity which requires
all the attention of the Government Of the
United States. The Mexican army is TO be
carried to $4,000 men, instead of 10000,
and this army, for which the provision con
tracts have already been made, is to re-
maiu in that country. The Engineer who
has been sent out with an Etat-M and
material is not going to locate road from
Vera Cruz TO the capital till after be has
located a road across the Isthmus, from the
Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific-a road in
tended TO counteract the Pacific Railroad of
the Americans. The gravity of these facts,
if they prove to be true, will not escape the
mind of any one, am told that until the
last meeting Of the Cabinet, not more than
30, 900 meh we're deemed necessary to car
ry out these projects, but that at that meet
ipg a further number of at least 10000
men were decided upon. The papers, in-
deed, have just been, Inadvertently NO
doubt; publishing q notice OF the immense
amount of provisions which have been
bought for the Mexican Expedition, and
among other items noticed was one of7O0,- :
900 kilogrammes OF biscuit. which tells &
story of itself. All this grand scheme
