turers, and like him returning victori

Sen. E>ope---'gEse EEere, OF ;E.e -
Southwest.
| The name Of this rising general is
upon every lip. His daring and sue
cessful career during the short time he
has been in the field, has challenged
the admiration Of the country, and is .
theme Of general praise in Europe. -
His late skillful movement in over
hauling the rebel army at Corinth,
after it had silently stole away under
cover Of night, adds additional iustre
to his reputation. In his triumphant
march over territory Of thousand
miles in extent, a series OF brilliant
victories have accompanied him. Not
single error has he committed. In
this respect he is more fortunate than
the most Of our Generals. Give him
full swing, and he would be like an
English ferret turned loose among rats
in a wheat stack, for his epproach ter
rifles the rebels quite as much, and
makes the destruction Of the rebel
cause quite as certain. Of all the gen
erals in the federal army, there is none
who is regarded with more mortal fear
by the rebels, than Gen. Pope. Like
Gen. Burnside, he is gifted with a
dashing energy, which carries him over
the ground much faster than his enc
mics are able to calculate, which is
the grand secret Of his success.

Tie late news from Mexico IL highly
important The French have caught
a tartar, and find that there is life LETT
yet in our spunky little neighbor, who,
from all accounts will be able to hold
her own until she can receive asst
guardianship she will soon be placed.
England and Spain, like two cowardly
spanicls with their tails between their
legs, skunk out Of this dirty business az
soon as they saw that the government
OF the United States was able to main
tain its existence. These powers knew
full we'll that the United States would
net stand quietly By and sec monar-
chial government established right un-
der our nose, Or tolerate this coWardly
attempt to rob this little Republic OF
what vitality it had left. Our iron clads
opened the eyes Of Europe, and gave
them to understand that in few months
this government would be able 10 blow
the combined navies Of the world out
Of the water, and that we would have
an army at the close Of the war which
wonid in numbers and strength, be sn
pcrior to any other nation on the globe;
and that the combined armies Of this
Republic would be able to to meet the
whole world in arms.
So far as Cuba is concerned, we can
take that Island with one OF our ircn
clads before breakfast, and SO with Que
bee, Montreal, and the whole Of the
English possessions.
Let France look well to her conduct.
She is not justified in the course she is
pursuing, and the longer she continues
in it the more difficult will it be for her
to find an excuse to depart. A rising
Indignation is rapidly springing up III
our army and throughout the United
States, against this unjust intervention
in the affairs on this side Of the water.
There is a pause. for the time being,
but should France persist in distressing
Mexico, and attempt to establish her
supremacy there, then will this snotll-
cred Indignation burst forth like a great
volcano, and before the news could
reach France our armies would be on
the march to the relief Of our sister Re
public.
