The Fourth and Min Ina Ina

1t is customary with editors when they per-
igrinate anywhere to regale their readers with
a minute account of all the uninteresting
things they see or do. 1t is poor custom
&" more honored in the breach than in the OBJ
servance."
Still we may be pardoned for remarking
that on the recent recurrence of the intensely
glorious and never-to -be-too- muchremem-
bered fourth of July, all our accumulated

left-hand pocket of the vest which was so for

Address of Gen. Pope on As
Stunning Command of tlae Army
of Virginia.

To the officers and soldiers of the army
of Virginia:
By assignment Of the President of the
United States, ] have assumed command
Of this army. ! have spent two weeks
in learning your whereabouts, your con
dition, and your wants in preparing YOU
for active operations and iu placine Won
in position from which you can act
promptly and for this purpose I have
come to you from the West, where we
have always seen the backs of our enc
mics from our army; where success has
been to seek the adversary and beat him
when found, whose policy Inns been at
tack and not defense. In but one in
stance has the enemy been able TO place
our Western army in defensive attitude.
] presume that have bean called here
to pursue the same system. and lead you
against the enemy. 1t is my purpose to
do so and that speedily.
/ am sure you long for an opportunity
to win the distinction you are capable of
achieving; that opportunity | shall en-
deayor to give you. In the meantime l
desire you to dismiss from your minds
certain parases which l am sorry to find
much in vogue against you. hear con-
stan.ly of taking strong positions and
holding them, Of lines of retreat, and of
bases Of supplies. Let us discard such
ideas. The strongest position a soldier
should desire to occupy isone from which
he can most easily advance against the
enemy. Let US study the probable line
of retreat of our opponents, and leave
our own to take care Of itself. Let us
look before us, and not behind. Success
and glory are in the advance; disaster
and shame Turk in the rear. Let us act
on this understanding, and it is safe to
predict that your banners shall beinscrib-
ed with many glorious deed, and that
your names will be dear to your country
mon forever.

SYNOPSIS OF THE MEXICAN TREATY-The
following is a synopsis of the Mexican treaty
now before the Senate:
"The United States stipuates to loan Mexi-
co $11 100000 for the term OF five years. For
this loan, the Mexican government is to pledge
the entire public domain, and what remains of
the church property, estimated at $780, 900
In value The United States government is to
issue its bonds for the amount of S11.000OO0,
payable in twenty years, and bearing six per
cent interest Mexico is to receive S2.O00000
of the amount loaned in fifteen days from the
final ratification of the treaty; the balance TO
be paid in instaiments of $500,000 per month,
running eighteen months. The Mexican gov
ernment is to turn over its bonds to the gov
ernment OF the United States, for the amount
of $11 100000, bearing six per cent. interest,
and payable in five years.
To carry into effect this treaty, mixed COM
mission is to be appointed by the governments
of the United States and Mexico. Three com
mssloners are to be appointed, one on the part
OF Mexico and two on the part of the United
States. The commissioners thus appointed
are to sell the public domain and the church
property sufficient to liquidate the loan, and
pass the proceeds over TO an agent to be an
pointed by the United States government.
The agent appointed by the United States gov
ernment to receive the funds as realized, shall
reside in Mexico. There is a convention an
nexed to the treaty in which the Tehuantepec
project is revived, but which contemplates no
new commercial advantages"

C0froN BURNING BY THE REBELs-The
New York Commercial speaks as follows of
the insane conduct of the rebels in burning
their cotton as means to induce England and
France to raise the blockade of the cotton
ports
But assuming the worst--nay, granting that
every pound of cotton in "Dixie' has van
ished, or will vanish into smoke, it is only the
rebellion preying on its own vitals. 1t may
strike mankind mute with moments aston
ishment; but in the end the effect of this folly
will only recoil upon the authors of it. The
civilized world viii not containa spot in which
the actors of a tragedy so atrocious can safely
hide themselves. Marshal Haynau in London
will be regarded as popular idol compared
with Davis or Beauregard, should either, es-
Gaping from their deserts here, find his way to
the old world. In spite of law and order. his
life would not be worth days purchase,
should English or French operatives happen to
set their eyes upon the Thug The human
race will not have language strong enough to
express the adherence with which such scourg-
es will be regarded in every enlightened conn
try, and in all ages to come

From the Providence journal,

j FROM CENTRAL GEoRGIA.-We have inst
! received tidings from old friends in central
. Georgia, family owning some twenty or
: thirty slaves, and possessed of considerable
amount of property. They were accustomed
/, to live generously. They now have neither
l tea nor coffee nor sugar nor salt. Their prin-
clpal food is beans and corn bread But little
| meat is to be obtained The ladies have cut
up all the carpets and made blankets of them
for the soldiers. The negroes comprehend
perfectly the purport of the presidents procla-
nation. Yet they are entirely docile, obedi-
ent, respectful and kind. They say they are
perfectly willing to work as before until
the first of January. They expect that then
wages will be paid to them. They desire to
go on and work for their ''old massa and mis-
sus."
1t is reasonable to conclude from these facts
that the privations in the south are pretty Sc
rlous. Most of lis would think that beans and
corn bread did not constitute very rich diet,
even though enriched occasionally by chick
en- or piece of beef When family like that
we have described is compelled to do without
sugar and salt, what must be the condition of
the poor? We believe that most of the ne
groeS, who have been treated decentlv, will
follow the course we have spoken of above
They will prefer to stay at their old homes.
But the thousands, who are not thus treated,
those whom the overSeerS attempt to coerce
into bondage, from which they have a legal
right to escape after the LIST of January, will
generally improve any opportunity which may
present Itself, for getting to some place where
they can have the freedom to which thew will
be entitled.
