The London Times snesrs at the Eman-
cipation proclamation as dead letter. To
this, the frantic efforts Of the rebels to
Offset it by retaliatory measures, is a
sufficient reply. It is no dead letter to
them, but live, searching, and crushing
Nemesis, which no rebel power can with
stand.
The Manchester Guardian says, "Doubt-
less the South viii laugh at the idle meas
ure." Do they laugh at it? Is it the
cachinnatiOn of laughter which We hear
from the rebels since its PRONUNCIATION, or
the howl of bafaed rage and despair ? Is
It an "idle measure" which causes them
to cry out against Lincoln as "fendr
and amonster2 ?" Is it for the sport of
the thing that they send their slaves so
rapidly to the South from the border
States2 Is it in seorn that they look for
ward to the opening Of the new year Is
it from careless merriment that General
Lee caused all the negroes in the vicinity
of Leesburg to be collected together and
shipped to the South ? Scarcely.
The Liverpool Post is not so Indifferent
to the results. It wishes that way could
be found to prevent Z" the terrible results
which are certain to follow the publication
of the proclamation in the Southern
States" Well, the Post might have helped
to prevent those results if it had chosen
to do so earlier in the struggle. 1t might
have opposed secession and really been as
neutral as it professed to be, instead Of an
nouncing in commendatory tones, the
attts.,s ss.r-or rIO roDoE -neeJ-'----l--4l.-,.
rebel steamers from English ship-yards'
The responsibility will not all be with
the rebel papers and speakers if those
"terrible results" do follow.
The Daily News (LOndOn) says the proc
lamation is feeble and halting. Let them
ask the rebels if they think it SO.
The London Star says that the inevi-
table day has come at last" and there
can now be no more doubt, there can be no
more Withholding of sympathy. The
oluse of the negro is at length the curse
of mighty and resOlute people" The
Star is right. We Of the North did not
% to war for the negro, but for the white
man, but the South has thrust the negro in
our way, and we will dispose of him, and
Of his destiny for all time to come. God
will make the wrath of man to praise him,
and the day of deliverance from the bonds OF
the Oppressor will be the sequel to the day
when seven hundred men besieged seventy
in Fort Sumter, for the purpose Of enslav-
ing the loyal North.

The MEXICAN Question.

The progress of the French troops
through Mexico is matter of interest to
us, inasmuch as the Emperor may be or
gan!zing that expedition as mere pre-
lude to operations in favor of the COnfed-
sraoy. A Washington dispatch says
Semi-oficial advices from Mexico have
been received here. They represent the
people as united in the determination to
contest every inch Of the road from 0ri-
zaba to the City of Mexico. Every point
at which a successful resistance to the
French army can be made hs7 been or Is
being fortified, and the citizens Of the cap
ital, Including President Juarez and Cab
met give one day in every week to work
upon the Notifications.
"The troops are deficient in transpor-
tation and munitions Of war, and may be
inferior in numbers to the French army
which with all its re-inforeements now on
the way, is believed to be $4,000 strong;
but it Is hoped that the enthusiasm Of a
people contending for their nationality
viii make up for all these deficiencies"

mnrtInI Lnw Orer the whoIe Country.

A letter in the New York Times explains
the announcement of partial martial law
over the whole country, by saying that so
far from an attempt to create difficulties
and general arrests, it was to forbid those
violations of the writ of habeas corpus, and
those invasions Of constitutional rights,
by certain oficious funetionaries, from
which the people were suffering, and which
were becoming intolerable. 1t was intend
ed to give a uniform law for the whole
country, which, while it should interfere
with the constitutional rights of no loyal
man, should give the constituted national
authorities power to promptly suppress
treason and in Its practical operation It
is restricted to purely military oBenses."

Society in Texas.

An escaped refugee from Texas gives
this sorry picture Of life In that State un-
der the preseut rule;
"The condition of society In Texas is
represented to be of the most primitive,
chaotic and immethodical character. Mr..
Whitaker describes it as altogether mon
archical in Its tendency, though tits doubt
full whether 1t does not really verge toward
an absolute revolution against any system
of government at all.

secessionists upon Union families, solely

Murder, assassination and lynching are
crimes too common to excite any amaze
ment. Making women and children OUT
casts on account Of the suspected senti-
nents of their natural protectors, and even
the killing of wives for refusing to tell of
the whereabouts Of their husbands gone
North, are matters that produce no sur
prise"

French and EnrIlsb Tron-eIaa Navie..


Donald Mckay, the American ship
builder, is now in Paris inspecting the
ship yards. In letter from that city he
describes the progress Of the irOn-clads in
France and England, showing the advan-
tages Of the former over the latter. He
saws that in addition to ten iron-cased
hoating batteries, constructed during and
shortly after the Orimean war, France has
already constructed four iron frigates of
The GlOire class Cthe GlOirs, NOrmandie,
Invineible and Couronne)i two floating
batteries lthe Psiho and saigOn), and two
iron rams (solferino and Magetta)i and
has on the stocks nine more floating bat
teries and ten iron frigstes. It is in con-
temptation to finish all these vessels I'M five
years, but in case Of necessity they could
be completed in one year. The English
have completed only four irOn-eased frig-
ates (the Warrior, Black Prince, Defense
and Resistance) but are building the Ach-
nles, Hector, Valiant, AgincOurt, MinO-
taur, Northumberland Prince Albert-au
iron ships-sud The wooden ships Prince
COnsort, Ocean, Caledonia, Royal Oak and
Royal Alfred-an Of which are now cas-
ing with iron. The summing up is as fol-
lows, in Mr.. MeKsy's own words:
"The French can have by the end of
next year q feet of sixteen iron-cased frig-
ates ft for foreign service, and the Eng
lish can muster in year and half six
teen iron-eased frigates and two iron-cased
eorvettes, all fit for foreign service and
for an aggressive warfare"

q DR.. Gustav O. E. Weber, Surgeon General,
Present:
"Your note Of last evening rendering
YOUR resignation is before me. My know
ledge of the extremely critical condition
of Mrs. Weber's health has led me to ex-
pect the step you have taken. But not
6ithstanding this, feel greatly embarass-
ed by it. Upon assuming the responsible
duties of Commander-in-Chief Of the Ohio
forces, it became my first duty to look to 1t
that the brave and gallant soldiers should
be we'll provided with an able, kind and eff
icient corps Of surgeons and physicians
to superintend this great and good work.
From a knowledge derived upon my own
sick bed. and also that Of my family, as to
YOUR fitness for the position, l selected
yourself. Great as my expectations were Of
YOUR various qualifications, you have in
the discharge of the duties Of the position
far more than met my expectations. Hoping
this letter may reach the eye Of your pa
rents, your children, and their children, 1t
is due to you TO state that in skill, energy,
system, economy, integrity, frmness, and
kindness of heart in the discharge Of your
official duties you have won for yourself
the gratitude and esteem Of all good men.
To part with such an officer, is, indeed a
painful trial, but am not insensible OF
the duties of kind husband and father to
an afFectionate wife and infant child, and
therefore am constrained with great regret
to accept your resignation. The kilograms
of this morning, however, inform us that
upon the field of PerTyville, KY, Ohio s
gallant soldiers need your services, and
believing that you will cheerfully at every
hazard repair to their relief, have to re-
quest that you will leave by the first train
for the scene of action. This duty dis
charged, I will appoint your successor With
my kindest regards to Mrs. Weber and
ardent wishes for her speedy restoration

On the 9Th instant JEFF Davis sent in
special message to the rebel Congress,
upon the subject of getting rid of iucoupS-
tent officers, in which he uses the fOllnw,
ing language, which may be adapted to
other meridians than that of Richmond:
Tender consideration for worthless and
incompetent officers is but another name
for cruelty towards the brave men who
fall sacrifices to these defects Of their

One sIorlh Of Inc ProeIamarton.

The New York Times sums up the re-
suits, thus far, of the issue of the Procla-
nation, as follows; 1st the people Of
the loyal States have received it favOrably
and gladly ID, the people Of the Border
States have not been, and will not be, alien
ated by it; Sd, the army will not be offend
ed at it, despite all the prophecies to that
effect; 4th, the blacks will, in due time, be
ready to do their part in giving it practi-
cal effect; 5th, the people Of foreign cOun-
tries, will be forced into sympathy for the
Government by it; 9Th, the rebel leaders
themselves have fear of it; 7th, the reb-
els will not avail themselves Of the days Of
grace which the Proclamation allowed
them. They are desperate and will fight
III &c. s.II---s
ain all particulars, then, save this last,
the Proclamation has made IN excellent
beginning. We have no doubt that it will
continue to Justify itselfmore and more in
the same respects, up to the very day of
its practical application. And when 1t is
once fairly in operation, it will make, we
believe, very quick work Of the rebellion.
With our army Gordon stretched from the
Chesapeake to the furihest frontier, with
a strong foothold in every rebel State with
out exception, and with our gunboats PEN
etrating the swollen rivers in all direc
tions, the rebels will find 1t an absolute
impossibiIity to prevent this Proclamation
of freedom from bringing to & speedy end
the whole system through which alone
they have been able to keep their rebellion
alive thus far. Slavery, in less than
month, from the first day of January, will
be so utterly demoralized and broken up,
that even the most obdurate rebel will ad-
init that the last slave-grown crop has
been raised, and that stark famine con-
fronts the Confederaey."

The Plain Dealer charged that the Ad-
ministration had chosen all Of its officers
from the Republican ranks. We gave a
list Of Democrats who hold some Of the
highest Offices in the country, whereupon
the Plain Dealer ignores the question en-
tirSly, and says these Democrats were
needed in consequence Of their talents and
capacity. OF course they were, or they
would never have been appointed, and
neither would Republicans. The Admins
trasiOn has sought for good men, and when
they were found, has put them in positions.
The Plain Dealer is coming out of a very
minute end Of the horn in its attempt at
argument. In fact we think it has gone
crazy from the unusual mental appliea-
tion which it has INDUCED in of late, for
on no other hypothesis can this closing
sentence be translated:
