According TO Washington correspon
dent of the New York Herald there is an
opinion current at the capital that there is
secret treaty existing between the gov
ernments of the United States and France
respecting the position of the European
powers toward this country. The propo-
sitlon on which this rumored compact was
based was broached by NJ. Mercier, the
French Minister ut Washington, early in
the history5f the administration, and that,
after some surprise at its tenor, and much
discussion, it was favored by a majority of
Mr.. Llncoln's cabinet 1t was this: Is
the United States would keep quiet with
regard to certain designs France had con-
corning Mexico, the French would promise
not to interfere in the war between the
North and the South. The correspondent
quoted says in the elaboration of the de-
tails of the agreement:
Mr.. Lincoln. Mr. Seward and Judge
Bates belonged to the old Wing party
which always objected to the acquisition
of more territory, and which feared espec.
tally an addition of States toward the
South. They believed it led to a de.erior-
alton of the Northern races to occupy
tropical countries. Hence they were pre-
pared to give up forever, SO far as the Uni
ted States was concerned, all hope for ac-
quiring Mexico. A that time when every
thing was in confusion, and when many
believed that the South might succeed in
establishing her independence, it was
thought to be good policy also to in
sure the occupation of Mexico by France,
SO as to give the South one reason less for
desiring independence, as the object OF
the leaders of the rebellion was not t.
confne themselves to the Southern States
OF America, but in time to absorb Mexico
and all the islands Of the Gulf The nego
tiations were not concluded until Arch
bishop Hughes reached Paris, and it is al
legged that through him this secret under
standing was arriyedat France promised
not to interfere nor permit England to in
tertere IN the quarrel IN this country and
the United States promised not to object,
except in the most diplomatic form, and
for the purpose Of concealin5 the agree
ment to the French occupation of Mexico
Hence, amid all the rumors of foreign III.
terventIon, Mr. Lincoln and Mr.. Seward
have expressed an abiding faith in the
peaceful intentions of both France and
England Indeed no other theory will
account for the occupation of Mexico, and
| for the selfcontrol Of those two nations
| with such enormous intentions to interfere
! as this contest has presented

New Albany, Ind. July 26.

The Ledger says: '.I'hc rebels ere
congregated in considerable n asses at

antly insulting Union citizens. The fed

The military prisons in Louisville are

Passengers from Henderson say that
euerillas have appeared in strong force
opposite Mound City, and it is feared that
they would burn the Federal gun-byats

REBEL Loss At RIcHMoND.-Some of our
officers who were taken prisoners ar the
battles before Richmond, and were after
wards exchanged, say that the rebels mar
veIed exceedingly at not finding more oil
our dead on the fields of battle, and per-
suaded themselves into the belief that we
buried them during tire engagements. 1t
was positively asserted by zone of them
that we had buried in a shingle trench SCI
of our dead A national officer who was
standing by replied to the ridiculous state
ment of the rebel by calling his attention
to the fact Of our commanders being mer
of common sense, and that as such they
would not lie likely to desert the wounded
leaving them in the hands of the enemy
for the sake Of removing the killed from
the field
II is we'll known that all our killed ant
wost of the severely wounded were lef1
on the field of battle Some of the cne-
nv exhibited considerable disappointment
at not finding our loss greater than it was
and even declared in the presence Of tht
Uniou prisoners that the rebel loss in kill
ed alone was + to /.

a Hint To HoUSEwIyEs.-lt Is perhaps
unnecessary to remind our lady friends
that the federal soldiers will need a large
amount of iellies, pickles and cordials for
long time TO come, and that now is just
the season to prepare these articles but
for fear some Will forget the opportunities
OF the season, we Just drop this hint
Strawberries are past, but raspbcrries and
currants arc now ripe, and blackbcrries
the most healthy and inyigorating of all.
Will soon be in profusion. Every ore who
is able to do so ought TO consider it sa
cred duty to make all the preserves and
iellies they possibly can, for the use ol
our sick and wounded soldiers Pickles
are highly valued by men in camp and
now is just the time to be preparing them
Native wines are very valuable in many
cases of sickness, aad while currants and
berries last, good s,.pply should be laid
IN. The young men who remain at home
will be glad to pick the fruit and do the
squcezing-of the berries we moan-Ii
their young ladies will put them up to it
and attend to the sweetening and prcserv
ing Of the wines and cordials Almost
every one might do more in this line thar
they are accustomed TO, if they would on
ly think of the matter in its true bearings
and exert themselves Il little. We are GLAD
TO see that fruit of all kinds is so abundan
this season, and we trust that every lad,
will embrace her opportunitics.-.Spr

SEA SICKNEss.-The July number Of
.Siiiiman's Journal contains Il paper by T.
NJ. Bache, of the l. s Coast Survey, on
the "Physioligy of the Sea Sickness
Prof. Bache asserts the theory that this
distressing malady Is not disonsn of the
stomach, but Of the brain, and arises from
the fact of the mind not being able to an
derstand the varying motions of Il boat as
rapidly as the senses feel them, thus caus-
ing a conflict of impressions and a
consequent affection Of the brain, which in
turn dcranges the nervous system and pro-
duces nausea The smell of food close
air, and similar matters may aggravate
the disease, but are not the prim .ry caus-
es of it. As soon as tire mind is educated
up to n point that enables it to conceive
the idea of each motion as soon as it is felt,
sea-sickness ceases
Prof Bache recommends persons going
on board of n vessel to cat an ordinary
meal, and whilst on board to conform
closely as possible to their habits whilst
on land. The deck is the best place to
remain during the sickness, as the sight
can there be best educated to the move
ments, and the fresh air also has a good
effect. \ steady gaze at the horizon cna-
bles the sufferer to quickly estimate the
movements of the ship. If possible choose
a position amid-ships on deck, spread a
mattrass, lie down and look out at the hor
izon, and then all has been done that can
be done to prevent or cure sea-sickness

Bully FOE HIN-Among the romantic
incidents of this wicked war, there is none
more powerful than this:
Reuben Preston, formerly of Northern
Ohio. and well known to the people Of tnis
village as noisy, devil may-care sort of
a fel!ow-went South some time since and
and was Obliged to enlist to save his life
He finally became Captain of Texas
company. When the armies came to-
gether at Corinth, he, with his whole com
panv. deserted and came over to our side
and as luck would have it. he got into the
Ohio 4lst, right 11nong his old acquaint-
anees In the language of the poet, the
meeting can be better imagined than de,

The shades of night were falling fast
As through Southern village passed
A youth, who bore, not over nice,

Peeped, like an acorn from its sheath
While with a frightened voice he sung

Beyond the Cordilleras shone,
And from his lips escaped a groan.
