MEXICO REcBNERATED.-Ths recent defeat Of
the French forces at Pusbla may be the means
Of regensrating Mexico. The Mexican people,
encouraged by success, may unite, . they
never have united before, and they will then
become uneonquerable. II Napoleon should
send over sixty or eighty thousand more troops,
the united Mexicans would defeat them easily.
Why, then, should the astuts Emperor Of the
French persevere In a campaign where every
thing may be lost and nothing can be gained :
Why should he not rather turn his attention to
England, and svenge Waterloo and 50. Helena :

were rampant for defending the place at any ex-

CAVALRY AND FLYING ARrILLERY.-The order
lately issued from the War Department to close
recruiting Offices did not refer The regular ser
vice. EnIistments are still made in the old cav
airy regiments Indeed there is a greater de
mand at this time for efficient cavalry than at
any time since the beginning OF the war, and

airy regiments are TO lie filled up to their full
quota of men. and placed where the enemy will
feel the effect of their discipline This will at
ford dne opportunity OF distinction to all those
who will enlist in these regiments
The Administration will require the aid of
military power to carry on the Government in
the Southern States for many years to come,
and while the country is in this unsettled state all
civil occupation will be uncertain OF success; a
three years enlistment, therefore, will enable in
teiligent active and energetic young men to
place themselves most c0nspicuously before the
public and ofier better opportunities for advance
ment and promotion than any other pursuit.
Vacancies are daily occurring, and the merito-
rious advanced Go I'LL them. All who out OF
employment and desire an opportunity to serve
their country, and at the same time secure their
future welfare, can best attain that end by enlist
Ing under the present call of the Administration
to fill up the cavalry regiments. Secretary Stan
ton has published order that he will make no
more promotions in the regular army except from
the ranks. The best recommendation, therefore,
that influential friends urge is that the app

for the promotion by ensting as private III tie

come off your eyes 80 that you can see how you
were deprived ot your certificate OF election IN

lows: get twenty six men from Lawrence

were paid y for every vote cast and some of
them earned (accorlng to the report of ludi

have voted very extensively But OF course such
man did not vote 50 often in the Fourth Ward
but they did vote AZ least once IN every doubtful
Ward and more frequent il necessary The
scheme worked well that time.
The next plan was. on the succeeding election.
! TO take all The ballot boxes to supper and feed
them. which they aid In the Fourth Ward fifty
Democrat tickets taken out OF the ballot
box and fifty Republican tickets put ia their
place
The next dodge was to vote ten very thin Re
publican tickets enclosed in one regular ticket,
which OF course would count eleven votes on one
mans ballot The ten tickets were all folded
separate and iucoSed in the regular paper ticket
f i'm such n manner that when they were safely in
the box the mother ticket would bring forth ten
little ones Previous to that. however, the Judge
would know every man that was SELECTED to vote
the pregnant tirkes and the clerks would imme-
diately set down the proper persons name and ten
fictitious names. You have OF course noticed
that in the Fourth Ward We always have both the
clerks, that being the important point
