the SECOND C0nqueoS OF mcxicOs
II appears. from the European Intelligence
which we publish to-day, that twelve thousand
French troops are to be sent out to reinforce
the army already In Mexico and q supplement
tary credit of fifteen millions of francs is asked
by the Emperor from the legislative body for
the purposes Of the expedition. II he had
asked for five hundred millions of francs aud
for an army Of one hundred thousand men
he would be much nearer the mark To send
twelve thousand men to reinforce the army
now in Mexico is only to expose them to GER
tain destruction. Before they can arrive tho
French army now in Mexico will be either
killed off by the vomito or starved or cut to
pieces by tho Mexican guerillas. The army
that follows it is destined to the same fate.
Nothing can be done till October, and by that
time the United States will have something to
say in the matter. The rebellion will then
have been crushed, and the men, arms and
money Of the United States will sustain the
upon its independence and democratic institu-
tions
1t is stated that an immense force Of iron
clad gunboats is to be sent out and that they
are of such peculiar construction that they
can be taken to pieces and conveyed in ships
of-war. What can be wanted with gunboats
for Mexico is difficult to conceive. The country
has no navigable rivers, and the ports can be
easily blockaded by ordinary vessels. Unless
Napoleon, therefore, wants to send the gun
boats on the backs of mules over the mountains,
to float in some inland lakes, we cannot divine
the use Of this naval force.
1t may be that, under the cover Of operating
against Mexico, preparations are being made
against tie United States to carry out the idea
of intervention and to aid the rebellious
States in establishing their independence. If
this be the design, then let Napoleon Ill. take
notice that we will be fully prepared for him,
and that his insane attempt will be attended
with disastrous consequences to himself and his
dynasty. As the French republic, after the
brought against it, SO will the American re-
public be triumphant over the conspiracy of
the crowned heads of Europe, and will pro-
baby result in their own destruction. 1t
will unite the people as one man to re-
sist aggression and to punish it by blot
ting out every vestige of foreign dominion
on this continent, and by aiding the oppressed
subjects of anarchy in Europe to throw off
their CALLING yoke and assert their freedom by
making bonfres of thrones, as the people did
in France in ls4s. Let the Emperor Of the
French raise sacrAegous hand against the
American republic and that will be the last of
the Napoleon dynasty.

THE Hon. BEN. WooD AND Hrs FIRST RATE
NorIcE FROM THE LONDON TIMEs.-We publish
to-day . first rate notice of the Hon. Ben.
Wood BY the London Times, and Of late
semi secession speech Of his supposed to have
been delivered in Congress. The Hon. Ben.
in England 10 welcomed among the implacable
and INSCRIPTIONS enemies of the United States
Is model of wisdom and craftsmanship. The
Times parades him before the British public as
a man "who speaks the voice of great politi-
cal party" as . humanitarian whose views
are those Of "the English press since the out
break of the war; and "as a representative Of
the first city in the Union, said to be popular
and certain Of q reelection"
A few words will set this matter right; but
Of the Hon. Ben. Wood, he should forthwith
send over several packages of his lottery tickets
to the London Times office for distribution
among his English secession friends. As for
this remarkable speech OF the Hon. Ben
Wood, it was never delivered in Congress
Some time ago he asked permission Of the House
to print speech without reading it to the body
as speech delivered, and this permission was
granted. He availed himself Of the privilege
to publish this transparent secession PAM
phlet, and, as it would now appear, for the
especial beneti. of JEFF. Davis in England. I'm
fortunately, however, since its publication the
Hon. Ben. Wood has been ar,agned and is
now under trial in Congress as secession
en.issary and agent, and the result will pro-
badly be his expulsion from the House under
a cloud Of disgrace which will stick to him to
the end of his life. To keep up at least some
appearance of fair dealing. we trust that the
London Times will take o note of these facts
concerning the Hon. Ben Wood when next nc
is brought out by that journal as an example
of sound American craftsmanship. Touching
the chances Of his reelection, even "the
roughs" Of the rowdy district which he repre-
sents will laugh outright at the amusing igno-
rance and stupidity of the London Times in
presenting him to John Bull as the oracle of a
great political party, as popular man, and as
ia representative Of TIE first city in the Union"
His constituents would like to have one ques-
ton answered-to wit: Who is the writer of
this imaginary speech Of the Hon. Ben. Wood !?

ESLARGNG CANALS AND CANAL LoKs-The
measure before Congress authorizing the
enlargement Of canals and canal locks
on the Erie, Oswego and Illinois canals
is a military necessity, and ought to be
passed at once. 1t will be seen that
the bill has been laid on the table 1t
is with the greatest surprise that we find two
representatives from New York joining those
from New Jersey and the border States in OPP
posing the bill. The design Of the proposed
measure is to render the canals nsvigable for
gunboats; and in time Of foreign war the inn
portance Of these channels Of communication
for armed vessels cannot be ovsrestimated. If
there is any objection to the measure it must
sriss from private, not from public, reasons on
the part Of the gentlemen opposing it, and we
hope that they will have the good sense to re-
consider their action and vote affirmatively
when the bill again comes up.

THE CAMPAIGN IN THE SoUTHwEsT.-Our
latest and most reliable information from the
Southwest leads us to the conclusion that the
campaign in that quarter. henceforward till
the first FROST will be limited 10 the mainte-
nance Of the line of the Mississippi river, the
northern frontiers of Mississippi, Alabama and
Georgia, and the prosecution of the work Of
law and order in New Orleans, Memphis, Nash
vile, &c. General Curtis, in Arkansas, is
falling back towards Missouri, having done all
that he can dc in Arkansas with his present
limited force. In the meantime, however,
while the arduous labors of an active cam
paign arc generally suspended in the West and
Southwest, we dare sey that General Haleck
will be in condition to reinforce our grand
Army of the East with fifty thousand of his
veteran Western soldiers. if they should be de-
manded, to finish up our summer work in Vir-
ginia and North Carolina. The movements
over the whole chessboard will depend. per-
haps. upon our next news from Richmond.

Richmond.
ANYTHING from Richmond? Why can't we

hear from Richmond? las not something gone
mond. It is now four days since we have had any
news from Richmond, and may they not have
been like the three or four eventful days of last
week. during which we received no ncws--days
of desperate fighting and horrible slaughter!
Is the government cut off from its communica-
tons with Mcclellan, or why is it that we do
not hear from Richmonds
These and similar questions began to be
asked here ard there towards the close of yes
terday. The public mind, somewhat quoted
and restored to confidence in the morning with
the explanations of the HERALD and some
other journals in reference to the fierce and
sanguinary battles of Thursday and Friday,
was still uneasy in regard to the rumored en-
gaGements Of Saturday and Sunday. Our
own reporter has stated that before
he left the field Of war on Saturday morning
he heard heavy cannonading in the ds.arce;
and it was upon this very interesting and i'm
portant question that the public mind could
not suppress its anxiety Was there a srlspen-
sion of hostilites on Saturday and Sunday,
or was the fighting resumed. and did it
or did il not extend to Gen. McClellan's left
wing.
In the absence of any later definite intelli-
gence we can only give our own conclusions
Of the most probable condition of things near
Richmond since Saturday morning. At the
close Of the hard fighting on Friday evening
the forces of Gen Mcclellan on the north side
Of the Chickahominy were withdrawn to the
south side, leaving that stream impossible to
the enemy and It's difficult bordering swamps
a. the protection Of the right fiank Of our army.
On that side, therefore, we conclude the fight
ing was terminated on Friday. But the can
nonading of Saturday seemed to be on the left.
IL the enemy, however, made an attack on that
flank it was BY an inferior force from the city
2 very hazardous experiment.
At all events We are confident that the change
Of front secured by General Mcclellan on Fri
day placed him in a strong position, we'll pro-
tected on both tanks, and that, with thirty thou-
sand Of the enemy twenty-five miles in his rear,
at White House Landing, and thirty or forty
thousand more on the north side Of the Chicka-
hominy on Friday night, our army was secure
against another attack for at least two days.
At the end Of those two days General Mcclellan
was most probably reinforced to the extent of
twenty Thousand men, exclusive Of General
Burnsideis army, which perhaps may have
reached him. or was within supporting dis
lance, as early as Sunday evening
In the absence Of any positive inform alton
since Saturday, such are our views andopinions
from dispassonate consideration Of the events
before Richmond Of Thursday and Friday We
may be far behind the actual advantages fol-
lowing those events. General Mcclellan may
have found and seized his opportunity for dash
ing into Richmond. We are waiting for four
days later news than our last advices direct
from tho army, and We are anticipating the
most glorious tidings Of success

Health of Cows.

Good health in domestic animals Is al
ways a matter of primary Importance
As bad health in parents transmits a ten
dtn;y TO disease in the offspring, it is high
ly important than every kind of animal We
de ire to continue on our farms, should be
kept vigorous and healthy.
As domestic animals are a source Of hu-
man food, it is a matter Of great impor-
lance to preserve them 10 a healthy condi-
ton. Diseased meat carries its qualities
into the stomach of the consumers 1t is a
serious objection which vegetarians urge
against the use of anim1l food, that the
bad treatment they receive, renders them
unhealthy.
As an unhealthy animal cannot con-
sumo food to as good advantage IA a well
one, it is again economical to avoid dis
ease.
Each of these circumstances is sufficient
reason for guarding with ~scrupulOus care
when We derive milk from animals, it is
dOubly important that they be kept free
from every objectional faint. A sickly
COW not only yields a diminished proht,
but she yields sickly milk, and sickly in a
higl er degree than her flesh.

or disagreeable OdOr. it appears in her milk.
If she eats any thing medicinal, it comes

IF she is feverish, her milk shows it.
If she has sores about her. pus may be
found in her milk.
If she is fed upon decayed or. diseased
food, her milk. since it is derived from
h.r food, will be imperfect. 1t is as i'm
possible to make good milk from bad food,
as to make a cool building from rotten

A SPEECH FROM GEN. SnIELDs.-At a
recent banquet given by the Irish Brig
ade on the Potomac, commanded by Gen.
Meagher, the following remarks were
made by Gen. Shields:
l was in New Mexico whenI first heard
of the battle of Bull Run. read the ac-
count in a Spanish paper. and l wouldn't
believe it. | felt that il must be an in
venticn of our enemies, for l knew that
the Spanish were most persistent haters
of everything American. / had fought
in Mexico along side OF Northern and
Southern men. and | knew that both were
brave. l did not believe that either
would run away, and if any man had dar-
ed to tell me that the account was true, /

The F-renchman's "sheap."

If unluckily. You should by chance set
into a dispute, the best way is to stop
short, and ask your antagonist to enter in
TO a consideration of what the point is
This is apt to have a cooling effect Oh both
parties, and to result in a clear understand
ing of the real question.
A few years since we happened to be
travelling In a stage coach, where among a
half-dozen passengers, there VS. a French
man and an Englishman. There seemed
to bea cat and dog feeling between :hem,
for if one orened his lips the other was sure
TO fly at IL observation with the teeth and
claws of dispute. As We were driving

expression. Il say the sheap has no tail

By this time the parties were greltly ex-

Rural Establishment.

There are few things better calculated to
attach us to our homes,-where the social
virtue love to cong'egate, and to dispense
their hlessings-than rural embellishments.
This is true whether we apply the term to
our neighborhood or individual abode. The
public grounds about the great cities of the
cid continent, some Of which comprise an
area of five hundred acres, are the theme of
general admiration, the theatres Of health
full exercise and recreation, AMI the sources
Of high intellectual enjoyment. The lesser
towns and villages, even Of OF own country,
eve more Of their charm and interest to the
trees and plants which embellish our squares.
streets and gounds. in the eye of a man of
taste, than to any ostentatious show Of
brick and mortar-more to the beauties of
nature than the works of man. The high
est efforts of the human intellect are in
vain put in reguisitiOn to intimate the
handy works of the Creator. And when
we come down to the suburban residence,
and even to the transformations abode of the
farmer, how are their beauties heightened,
and their value enhanced, by a screen of
ornamental trees. and a we'll kept garden.
We advise the young to cultivate a taste
for rural embelii,h msnts, as a preventive
Of bad habits. and as the source of sub
.stantial and innocent pleasure.
