GENERAL ALMoNrE's MISSION TO MEx,co-A
ConiPTon1is ProPosed-The Courier des Etats
L MS OF this morning says that letter from Paris
confirms the departure of General Almonte 10,
Mexico, on mission Of compromise between this
Allies and the Mexcans. General Almonte ha,
resided in Paris as Mexican Minkuter since 1870
but resigned that ONCE after the Ill Of Miramon
He foresaw the present state Of affairs In Mexico
and did all he could TO prevent conflict of aims
between his native country and the European
Powers. But now the war Is decided and that
the Allied forces have determined to compel the
Juarez Government TO respect treaties, the Paris
correspondent Of the Courier says, General All.
monte has left suddenly for Mexico, the bearer of
scomPromise that will be honorable and salts.
factory 20 all interested parties
The nature or This compromise 10 not limited nj.
but u may be recOllectd that recent advices from
Vera Cruz mentioned the expected arrival of AL
monte as the bearer Of the proposition to place the
ATchduke Maximilian on the throne of MEXICO.
and stated that the French Minister favored the
project. Whatever the compounds may be, II IL
evident that IL has the endorsement Of the French
Government a. the Emperor offered General All.
monte passage on board Of the frigate Amazone.
Tue General, however, preferred to make the
voyage In the regular English mail steamer. We
shall probably soon hear Of him in Mexico.-N,

RuAcRED DEATH OF FLOYD 1T 10 stated by re-
liable gentlemen from Fort Donelson and Cairo
that IL Is the general opinion among the rebel

The report says that there was great excitement

HowLINo, OF Course Some Of the New York
greatrate over the order Of the War Department
forbidding the publication of information of mil.
itary movements that may by any chance aid the
enemy In resisting the arms of the United States
Now, we venture to s1irm that there is not a
man OF sense and information in the country not
involved In greater or less degree in the con-
spiracy to have the war waged TO the end Of en-
hrely abolishing the Constitution Of the United
states, and substituting instead a naked phiIO-
negro despotism, tho does not heartily approve
the order In question. All know that indiscreet
publications Of Union military movements hars
operated on many occasions most disastrously
upon the realization Of tbs Governments mill
tarY plans, while all surely realize that the
restriction Is to continue no longer than press
Ing necessity for Its existence may rest upon those
charged with the conduct of the war.
Experience having proved that If any Latitude
whatever be granted 20 the press under a state of
circumstances such as row exists, IL will surely
be either wantOnlY or ignorantly abused by more
or less sensational newspaper men, 1t is Ger
tainlY incumbent on the Government TO guard
against that contingency Of license to any If they
would rigidly exclude the enemy from obtaining
premature information OK the current movements
and aims Of the different Union armies
We believe that few short weeks will bring
the war to a close II the enemy be not enabled to
ebeckmate the movements OF our several armies
by and through sensation new spaDer pub ications
Of facts that the public 20 be kept
secret, II possible, for the time being.

THs EARL OF DRBBY ON AMERICAN ArrArRs-
The Earl Of Derby delivered a speech of great
Of Lords on the 7tn inst. The London Zines
reporting a speech made by him on the previous
night, made him advocate the recognition of the
rebel confederacy by England. The Earl corrects
this matter very emphafically, In these words =
with reference to the recognition Of the South
ern States he was reported 70 have stated that the
tune had very nearly arrived when, In his iudg-
ment, her Mslestys Government should be called
upon TO recognize a. successful the revolt Of the
Southern States; what he did say was that In his
judgment tAs tinls had not arrived at which he,

MrRRRkEsRoRo', TENN


Murfreesboro', Tenn, the point to which Il Is
now clear the rebel force lately In Nashville have
retreated, is about twenty-five miles southeast OF
Nashville, and was first capital Of the State. 1t
Is dilapidated institution, decidedly, and was
doubtless selected halting place by the rebels
as being a point from which they could most
conveniently move to any point OF their railroad
connections east that may in due time be men-
aced by the portion Of the army Of Gen. Buell.
now at or In the vicinity OF Cumberland Gap
They fed from Nashville to get out Of the range
of the GO Federal hell hounds" (as they term our
gunboats) and, all things considered, have sim
ply got " out of the frying pan into the fire." as,
In selecting Murfreesboro' for a temporary rally
ing point, they have chosen q locality In which
they win find 1t very difficult to take care OF
themselves even, II being point Of no particular
strategic strength.
IL Is clear that all the rebels In Tennessee (be-
longing there and from other States) are under q
terrific panic, which has 90 disorganized them
as that they can offer little resistance to the
Union arms than that Of an unorganiIed mob.

Brigadier General Daniel E. Sickles has been shot

CAMP CORRESPONDENCE.
PooLEsvILLB, Md. Feb %, 1s62-DsaT Star:
The inactivity that has characterized this wing
of the army for some months past has deferred
me from writing, and incidents Of interest have
been remarkably few.
/ learned from a cOntrabsnd few DAYS since
that there are but three regiments Of Confederate
troops at Leesburg. The Rebels have large
fort overlooking the ferries opposite us, which Is
eesibly discernible from this village.
sd haa ereA mr. he Antis af
his office here, but his predecessor still lives In
the heart Of his command, although the latter
may be accused OF treachery, which none who
really know him believe.
IL the authorities at Washington would stop
the sale Of whisky and other ardent spirits alias
oysters, | believe there would be less discomfort
pervading this portion of the army, less conn.,
plainst our leaders, and we would be better en-
abled to put our confidence In them.
In regard to spirituous liquors, must say
have no preiudicPs; but known ng the prohibition
upon its sale to indscreet soldiers, and in this
department particularly, l feel 1t incumbent
upon me to mention the manner I'm which Ii Is
smuggled into camp, and how the devotees OF
King Alcohol are eXtorted Of the small pay re-
ceived for their services, and for which MANY OF
their poor families are suffering. | have never
felt as though l could indemnify my stomach fol-
Its many long HASTINGS by purchasing oysters
since my connection with the army, and think
1t would be a wise procedure on the part Of tie
Government to stop the traf'c altogether, since
