A FRENCH BAIT FOR MEXICAN REcRuIrs.--
When the French first entered Mexico they OK
pected that its people would flock in crowds b
their standard. Instead Of that they find them
everywhere taking up arms against them. and
are promised tough work of it before they can
enter the capital. Failing to enlist adhercnts
by appeals to party jealousies and animosities,
they are now appealing to the hungry stomachs
of those whom the war has affected Plentiful
rations and pay are promised to all who will
join the army in its advance upon the city Of
Mexico; but we hardly think that these induce
ments will add much either to its prestige or
strength. The Mexicans of all ranks and
parties have q we'll founded distrust of their
would-be protectors, and what may be gained
in this way will hardly be worth the paying
for

MCCLELLAN's ABNEGATION.-The course pur-
sued by General Mcclellan, in the evidence
given by him before the Mcdowell Court of In
quiry, on Wednesday last cannot but add to
the esteem and admiration in which his charac-
ter is held by the world. With every tempta-
tion to explain those points of his conduct
whilst in command of the Army Of the Poto-
mac which have furnished grounds for the ma
lignant attacks made upon him by the radicals,
he objected to questions that would have fur
nished him with an opportunity of defending
himself, on the ground that they were irrelevant
to the objects of the inquiry. That he did 80
simply because they would have the effect Of
duplicating parties in regard to whose share in
the failure of the campaign he has all along
maintained a generous silence, no one can doubt
who reads his evidence. One of the radical
organs insinuates that his reserve on this occa-
sion was caused by personal motives. 1t
knows the character of the man too well to fear
that he can be diverted from the course that lie
has laid down for himself by such imputat,ons.
He bides his time for the full justification of his
conduct before the world. Not day passes in
the progress Of the campaign that does not
bring with 1t fresh evidence Of the wisdom Of
his plans and Of Che folly and criminality Of
those who conspired to defeat them.

ExPEoxD BATrLH FOR NAsHvIILz.-Accord-
ing to despatch from Nashville, dated
ON the 10th inst, the rebels in that vicin-
ity, under Generals Joe Johnston, Bragg,
Cheatham, Forrest and Morgan, appeared
In front Of the Union forces on the day
named in great force" driving in our pick
eS at every point. A battle was momen-
tarily expected at Hartsville, a short dis
tance from Nashville, and upon the 8ght will
probably depend the preservation or loss of
the city. The rebels seem to have been quietly
concentrating their forces around 1t for some
time, and from their numerous generals on the
ground, with Joe Johnston, perhaps the very
abest officer in the rebel service, it is evident
that General Rosecrans has powerful army
advancing upon hip, and has no child's play
upon his hands. Nashville, being his great
depot of army supplies of all kinds, woul0 be
an immense prize to the rebels If they could
contrive to possess it. To say nothing Of the
other military consequences which would pro-
badly follow its capture they would thus &C.
cure sufficient provisions to subsist perhaps an
army of fifty thousand men for month or two;
and these provisions are doubtless the imme-
diate object of their advance upon the city.
From the very fact, however, that the Union
forces were preparing to give battle to The
enemy in the open country outside of Nashville
we may assume that General Rosecrans has
body Of troops equal to the occasion. Other
wise they would have been brought in under
cover of the city fortifcations.

NEWS FROM Our SOUTHERN SEAcoAsr Ex-
pEDrrroNs.--we learn that the Mendi, from
New Orleans, passed on the 5th instant
near Cape Hatteras, eight United States steam
ers with their heads due south, and that the
bark Colcord, from Cardenas, passed, of the
North Carolina coast, December 4, tho steamer
Che Kiang, with troops on board, bound south
This steamer belongs to the Banks expedition,
and her presence far below the Capes OF the
Chesapeake settles the question that this ex-
pedition is destined to operate in some other
quarter, and nearer Texas, than the James
river. The other eight steamers referred 70
belong, if we are not mistaken, to Emory's OK
pedition, which probably has no connection
with that OF General Banks. From several
points, therefore, in duo course of time, we
may expect to hear Of hot work and some i'm
portent results aicnG the Southern coast

TIE PAPER MAKERS Commemorative have
before us the constitution of the association of
paper makers to which we referred. in our arti-
Gle yesterday and of which II. V. Butler, Of
this city, is president. Among the names of
the officers is that of Mr.. M. L. Seymour; and in
reference to the publication of his name Mr.
Seymour has addressed to us the following
note -

II seems, then, that those patriotic paper
monopolists, Of the pious school. have
not only attempted to raise the price
Of paper to al extravagant rate, but have
also descended TO the mean subterfuge of
using tho names of gentlemen who have
no connection with this speculating association,
and who openly disclsim any counivance with
the objects Of the combination. We have no
doubt that other gentlemen have been served
in the same way as Mr.. Seymour, and we ad-
wise them to follow Mr.. Ssymour's example,
and rid themselves Of the bad company in
which they have been unconsciously placed
If every journalahas to manufacture its own
paper, no newspaper proprietor will ever deal
with one Of these spectators again.

THE NEW STATE OF WESTERN VIRGrNIA.-Both
branches of Congress having passed the bill for
tho admission of the new State of Western Viz
ginia into the Union, it only needs the signature
Of the President to become law. and. as no
doubt has been expressed of his approval of the
measure we may consider it accomplished The
new State thus organized comprehends some
forty-fve counties of the trans-Alieghany
region Of Virginia, which, rebellng against
the rebellious State authorities at Rich
mond, and adhering to the cause of the
Union from the very beginning, proceeded at
once to organize separate State organization
under Governor Pierpoint at Wheeling. TLs
movement has finally resulted "a described in
the admission Of Western Virginia as q new State
Of unconstitutionality; but it is probable that
by the end of the war the people concerned
will be immovable, and that their State will
stand. 1t embraces a hardy mountain popula-.
ton of three hundred and fifty thousand souls,
of which the African slave element is very
small, and will soon disappear under the States
constitutional arrangement of gradual emanci-
patton. The wisdom Of the policy of breaking
up Virginia or any other of the rebellious
States, under the war power and as war mea-
sure, may well be doubted; but, a in Virginia
the thing is Fixed, we can only hope that it will
not result in any further troublesome compi-
cations OF the rebellion, and that there will be
no more experiments Of this kind on the part OF
Congress.

battle is now pending in the vicinity Of that
city. The result of decisive victory of the
Union armies there would be to cut the rebel
confederacy in two, separating the northern
half from the south, just as the expedition OF
hcClernand will separate Arkansas, Texas and
Western Louisiana from the States east of the
Mississippi
The map Of the Southern States will show
the reader that the combined effect of these
various movements will be to force the rebel
armies back to the Gulf, and to hem in the
rebellion within narrow territory, no part of
which will not be accessible by water. On one
side are the Atlantic and the Gulf with
the various inlets and navigable ri
vers which open into the interior; on
the other side the Ohio and the Mississippi, with
their various tributaries, including the Cum
surrounded and driven into confined space by
the gunboats and the armies which accompany

THE LATE BATTLE OF FAYETTEVILLE, Ar
KANsAs-ln the important essentials of good
generalship, good marching unfinching cour
age and magnificent fighting on the part Of the
Union forces, very few battles of the war will
compare with the late sanguinary contest near
Fayetteville Arkansas ~ the leading facts in
the case will show For four days by forced
marches, General Heron, with five thousand
men, had been moving for q junction with
General Biunts column Of eight thousand.
While yet the two columns were separated
by days ordinary march from each
other, the rebel General Hindman, with
twenty-four thousand men, cuts in be-
tween them and pounces upon the FIVE
thousand men under General Heron. Hereto
fore, where there had been anything approach
ing this disparity of forces in favor Of the
lation, and with a very weak excuse in the way
of resistance-Harper's Ferry, for instance and
Munfordsvihe, Kentucky. But General Her
ron is a fighting soldier, and his troops are Of
the same >mettle. He withstood the overwhelm-
ing forces OF the rebels for several hours against
a most desperate struggle on their part to finish
him before his expected assistance could come
up But he was successful in holding his ground
until the arrival of General Blunt, and the
opening of his guns upon the enemys rear,
which spoiled the calculations of Htndman,
and resulted in his ignominious retreat under
cover Of the night, which closed upon the bat
tie. Honor to whom honor is dne;'' and il is
due to Generals Blunt and Heron and their
heroic troops, for their bravely earned victory
Of Fayetteville.

MANDARIN WARD AND HIS SUCcgssoR.--We
publish in another column this morning
letter from our Shanghae correspondent, detail
ing the circumstances Of the death Of Mandarin
Ward, and announcing that he is to be succeed
ed in command by another American, named
FORESTER Mandarin Ward landed in China
two or three years ago, with only six dollars in
his pocket, and With the unofficial rank Of the
second officer of merchant vessel. He was
never connected with Walkers filibustcrs. but
was in the French army and in the Crimea,
At the time of his death he was high maada-
rim of two buttons and Commander-in-Ih hief of
the Chinese forces, and he leaves fortune of
three or four hundred thousand dollars, with
the British and American Ministers as his cxecu-
tors. Ward had in him the elements OF great
man. He died as soldier loves to die
watching the retreat Of the defeated enemy.
Colouel Forester, who succeeds Ward in com
mand, is also New Yorker, we believe; and
we trust that he may have the skill and ability
TO follow up Wards successes, and complete
the establishment Of Yankee dynasty in China.

that we hope to see generally followed. five

CauSEs or T,rE FAILURE or TIE F%roETs TO
TAKE RIcnMoND.-It will be recollccted that
in speech made by the Hon. J. u. Haskin at
Tarrytown. on the 30th of October last, he as
serted that McClelan's failure to take Rich
mond was caused by McDowell's not reinforcing
him. This statement is fully borne out by the
evidence of General Mcclellan before the Nc
Dowcll Court ofInquiry on Wednesday last. The
latter says emphatically ly:-"I have no doubt
for it has ever been my opinion that the Army
of the Potomac would have taken Richmond
had not the corps of General Mcdowell been
separated from it. 1t is also my opinion that
had the command Of General Mcdowell joined
the Army OF the Potomac in the month of May
by way Of Hanover Court House, from Frcde
ricksburg, we would have had Richmond in q
week after the junction." Mcdowell with the
best feelings and disposition towards Mcclellan
Is now proved to have been the innocent Mar
plot of all his plans. II has been as unfortu-
nate for the country as for himself that he
should have been made the scapegoat of such
enormous military blunders.
