% .te PANS, Friday Oct. 10, 1862.
A month ago informed you that the Mexi :
can expedition had been augmented to $1,000
men and that it was the fixed object Of the
French government to. remain in Mexico long
enough to build up some sort OF government
which should be able to! offer an insurmount-
able obstacle to the extension of the Anglo
American and the protestant race South. Up
to the present moment, about $4,000 men
have been sent from France to take part in
this expeditions; and am still assured through
private channels, the number of men will be
carried to $4,000, or even more if found neces-
sary to carry out the object in view. From
the start was informed that the French de-
sired to make this Mexican expedition o seri.
Gus affair, and circumstances have singularly
aided In converting desires into fixed deter
mination. l have endeavored to keep pace
with the developments of the programme, and
to keep you advised Of the various changes as
they took place. Under ordinary circumstan.
ces the sending of $4,000, or even SO, 600 men
to Mexico accompanied by Q powerful feet,
when it is known that neither the army nor
the feet will meet an army to contend with,
would be for the government and people OF
the United States a grave event; it may not
however, be so now. 1t may even be that the
government of the United States desires that
strong power should be created in Mexico, in
order to stop the progress Of the Southern
States South. The subject is none the less an
important one and ought to receive all your
| attention. tt

RIGHTS AND GUARANTEEs.-"If it is true"
says Horatio Seymour t'that slavery must be
abolished to save this Union, then the people
of the South should be allowed to withdraw
themselves from that Government which can
not give them the protection guaranteed by its
terms"
But if the protection of slavery is guaran-
teed by the terms of the Constitution, it is so
in one case only and that expressly mentioned,
the return Of fugitives held to service under
the laws of one escaping in to another. Ger
tainly Mr.. Seymour nor any other American
advocates of human slavery will contend that
the protection of right claimed by any man
to a slave is more expressly guaranteed than
the protection of the right of the same man to
his life. If, then. his rebellion forfeits the
constitutional protection of the one right, when
it conflicts with the supremacy Of the Govern.
ment, it clearly forfeits the other in the same
case, unless his right to his slave be more So
cred than that to his life.
The utter aAsurdity of Mr.. Seymour's soph-
ism therefore, becomes at once evident, upon
substituting the one right for the other. His
proposition would then read thus: s. If it il
true that life must be taken to save this Unior
then the people of the South should be allowed
to withdraw themselves from that Government
which can not give them the protection guar
anteed by its terms."-l Harper's Weekly.

OUR IRON.CLADS.

An Iron Glad tried and Reported Ready for Sea
THE Keokuk Finished.
A naval officer has been good enough to send
us report of trial trip of the q. s. iron-clad
frigate Chillicothe, which has been finished,
manned, and sent out on her first trial trip with.
in the past few days. The vessel left the wharf
at Jacksonville in compliance with orders from
headquarters, for trial trip of u hours, on
which her machinery and armament were to be
tested. The battery consisted of 2 tremendous
IL inch guns. Having got down the river, firing
commenced at various distances, from 100 to
1000 yards The result may be summed up
thus in a paragraph. There was no recoil, no
shaking of decks, no bursting of turrets or Civ
ing way of gun-gear. The experiments of ord
nance were, in short, successful in every sense,
and the consequence is that the Navy Depart
ment lie to be informed tomorrow (26th) that the
Chillicothe is ready for any service to which she
may be ordered on this coast. Tho machinery
worked very satisfactorily, giving the ship q
speed of miles an hour, or two miles an hour
Chillicothe 10 one of the SOHO River iron clads,
and was built at Cincinnati by Brown, McCord
l. Junger. She is 1856 feet long, 80 feet wide, and
81 feet deep. Her armor is put on in plates-on
the deck an irch, and on the sides two inches
thick. She has two engines, with cylinder 20
inches in diameter and feet stroke. The ma
chinery Was built at St. Louis. The Chillicothe
is ir commission, and will soon be actively
engaged.

The tremendous iron vessel Keokuk formerly

launch is announced to come aft on the 10Th
proximo Preparations for putting her afoat
will begin tomorrow. She is the most extra
ordinary craft in the world. She resembles two

in the stern will move her. There was no keel
laid in the centre of this queer looking craft,
but one at the bow and another at the stern,
both of which extended towards the middle OF
the hull about 18 feet A 7-foot ram protrudes
from the bow. It's ofcast-iron throughout, and
bears resemblance to the rams on the Monitor

Friday afternoon for the South, but from various

patriotic manner On leaving the Burtis, three
cheers we're given for General Baker, and with
shouts and song the brave and light hearted men

TIE GRAND MOVEMENT IN KENTUCKY.-Never
since tine war commenced, says the Greenville
TENN Banner Of the Goth, has there been SO
grand and profitable a tour made as the one just
accomplished by General Bragg. Just think of
it, be has captured from the enemy, and pur-
chased from the citizens together, enough to
load train of wagons forty miles long. His
whole army has fallen back toward the Gap to
protect this valuable train; and as it is now safe
from capture, Bragg will retire with his army
lust where it suits him. The arrival of this
train will play smash with the jeans speculation
in this country, as it is bringing one million
yards of good Kentucky jeans. They also bring
a large amount of clothing, boots and shoes
two hundred wagon loads OF bacon, six thousand
barrels of picked pork, fifteen thousand good
mules and horses, eight thousand beeves, and a
large lot of hogs. No wonder Bragg's army fell
back to protect such a valuable CARGO Rich

TIE NEW CAHPAIaN.-The popular under
standing of the reasons Why Gen. Buell. WAS re.
moved from his command is that be delayed,
refused or failed to accomplish the campaign III
East Tennessee, which the Government had
planned. The choice Of Rosecrans to succeed
the incapable iaggard Who has wrought such
mischief in the South West, was wise one
We share the feeling that is rapidly growing be-
yond the Cumberland Mountains, that the dash,
courage and skill of the new commander, will
soon lead the army, which Buell. so long wasted
with alternate rust and senseless attrition, into
East Tennessee, and give US something substan-
tial in return for the enormous expenditure Of
life and treasure which we have made about
that gateway for the heart of the Rebellion. The
i'll success which accompanied our arms in Mis-
sissippi vas in large part attributable to the
want Of knowledge Of the topography of the
country. Of course there are no maps of those
semi-savage regions, and the white men familiar
with their roads, and paths, and streams were all
in the rebel ranks But in Rosecrans's army
are hundreds Of East Tennessee Unionists, who
undoubtedly can track the whole country by
night even. Under their guidance, Rosecrans
win be enabled to accomplish the movement &c
long looked for and prayed for by the harried
and ruined men of the South West-to pass
Through the Cumberland Mountains; to sveeu
his way to the great artery which supplies the
rebellion with its life blood-the Virginia and
Tennessee Railroad; to cut it; to establish vic
torious Union force upon the crown of the
whole Cotton region; to threaten Lees army on
the Potomac with starvation; to menace Rich

to move up the Valley, to compel the withdraws

He says our forces occupy the position chosen
by the enemy at the commencement of the bat
tie, and that the rebels we re driven back mile
and half at all points except upon our ex-
IRENE right, whsch they still held at the close
of the day
Our informant was all day within 100 yards
of Gen. Mcclellan, and says the resu is of the
day were regarded by him and his staff as glo-
rious victory, though not the final one.
There was no faltering at any part of the
line OF our whole army.
Our soldiers were exultant at the results Of
the days fighting, and Gen. Mcclellan was in
the highest spirits.
LATEsT.-Our informant says nothing had
been heard on the hattie field of the capture
of Gen. Longstreet, or the killing of Gen. Hill
and that there is no truth in either report.
Twenty thousand more achievements were
expected to reach the field yesterday from Har-
risburgh.
Our informant thinks that the loss of the
rebels is fully equal to ours.
The gentleman who furnished with the fore
going intelligence is one of our most respectable
and intelligent citizens, and says that while the
battle of W ednesday was not decisive one, it
was a contest in which all the advantages were
with Gen Mcclellan, who occupied the field of
battle at the close Of the day
