There is evidently no sufficient ground for us,

We have taken care to let it be known at Wash

Russia to JOIN US.
THE WAR IN MEXICO.
The Emperor's government explained in the
last session the causes of dissidenee which had
induced England and Spain to separate from
France ia Mexico. On ali points the Emperor's
government still holds exactly the sauna views
as we're explained By bis mkjesty's ministers in
the senate aud legislative body, and supported
by diplomatic documents II will, therefore
sufhee for the present to repeat that tho with
sraEyal Of our allies rssdsred necessary the dis
patch Of considerable reinforcoments, aud we
h3G from that time to prosecute alone an expe-
dition commenced by three Waiting for tbess
rVinfoTcemeats inevitably caused delay in our
operations but sll the troops sent from France
have now Joined the expsditionary corps.
The Mexican question has thus entered upon
su entirely military phase, the issue of which

fore, only express its confidence that the expe-
diton will soon terminate gloriousiy for oar
flag, and that the moment is not far distant
when the success of our arms viii secure for the
interests which took as TO Mexico the durable
guarantees which they have so long wanted.
TRADE WITH THE UNITED STATES AND THE
NEW TARIFF.
Following with a natural and deep solicitude
the successive phases of the American crisis,
the Emperor's government has net been dis
eouraged by the failure of its frss attsmpis to
restore to eur commerce with the United States
the security necessary for its operations. IF We
have not hitherto been able to obtain the repeal
of the increased customs and duties which have
been imposed for financial purposes TO the injury
Of commercial interests the active efforts of cur
diplomacy seem to have at least contributed to
arrest the advance of the Cabiret at Washing
ton in a course so fatal to international ransac-
tons.
Our exchanges with country whose vital
force is absorbed in a barren and Desperate
struggle remain strictly limited to articles abso-
lutely indispensable.
1t was therefore, the duty Of the Department
Of Foreign Affairs to study, above al, the means
of protecting merchandise possessed By French
subjects on the American soil against the eventu-
alihes Of destruction or seizure.

OUR PROGRESS TOWARD A DEsPOTIsN-
MORE POLITICAL ARRESTS There are nov

COTToN BURNED NEAR Fort PILLOW
CUsHMAa's GUERILLAs AT WORK Guerilla
work is still progressing near Fort Pillow snd
the section of country back of that point On
Saturday night a band Of these nOmadic gentry,
commanded BY man named Cushmsn, Of
Lauderdale county, and numbering only fifteen
or twenty, stopped two wagons four miles back
Of the fort, and burned eight or ten bales Of cot
ton which were being taken to the river. They
turned the teams and owners back. On Friday
night the same parties overkauled raft, which,
containing between twenty and twenty-five
bales, was crossing Hatchie river. They o.
dered the men accompanying it home, and de-
str0yed both cotton and raft. This occurred
bout ten miles from the fort. A cotton buyer
from Indiana was captured By the gusIillas
few miles from the Missis ippi in the same
neighborbood, ore day last week, and relieved
Of Bis supply Of gTeenbacks 1t was not very

COTTON

It's for Mr. Seward to explain to England
and France how it viii be for their advantage
thst Just ct the moment when the Federal ad-
vaacs into the Confederate States is nscessitst-
ing large additional destruction of cotton, all
future hopes of cotton should be annihilated by
slaughter of its 'oduceTs In fact, let not Mr..
Seward blink tds inconnovertible fact that
neither the seizure Of all the seaboard cities, nor
the rising and fight Of the negroes, will bring
one bale Of cotton into Federal hands. If ever
it were conceivable thst the South, ground to
powder By the weight of the North, had no
choice bus at the end of some twelve or fifteen
years, to cspilulsta, she would be dragged back
into the Union in a very different plight than
NJ. Seward probably imagines. Not bale Of
cotton IN existence anywhere in cultivation, not
: single Gotten plantation anywhere in gesr-the
bony skeleton of what once was the most profit
able industry anywhere on earth, bat the mar
row and ife-blood dried up for years, if not for
ever How sll this, were it possible, could be
commended on humanitarian grounds to Christ
ian England and France, If rests between them
under Mr. Seward to determine.

There is in the little knot Of eminent officers
commanding in Yirginia tower of strength,
such as is possessed by no similar knot Of Off
GERS of the Federal service. In fact, to heer
some of the Federal prisoners talking sbsut
their commanding officers, one would infer that
there is mora danger to these officers in action
from ths bullets of their own men than of the
enemy. There are strange stories in the South
as to the true explanation of the extraordinary
metality at ths.5attleo Of Sharpsburg among gen.
ersl and other Federal officers, the explanation
being easily within the compass of the readers
Imagination. Most true it is that whereas in the
Southern ranks the confidence and attachment to
their general officers has kept on steadily in
creasng, in the composite ranks of the North
disTust and dislike toward their commanders,
with few and rare exceptions, have been of just
as steady growth, and the consequence is ap-

One Of ths lessons Of this war, in which field
artillery has been employed TO an unprecedented
degree, IS, that, while the moral effect Of artil-
lsry, especially upon undsciplinsd troops, and
among trees IS very great, the sexual results at
tainsd thereby may be stated AS nil. Of coarse,
I am not speaking of artillery employed when
the fighting is ct close quarters, and grape and
canister and shrspnel are used against masses Of
men. But these artillery duels, which point
many correspondents letter, and fill many a
reader with awe, seem usually to be 80 blood
less ss though they wsrs conducted with blank
cartridges It is doubtful whether by every
lhousand discharges from eannen so high an
average as the death Of one human being is At

Some Ingenious srithmeiciau may amuse
himself By computing, taking the price Of each
shot and shell from q FOUNDER up to a
32-poundeF nad determining the relative num-
Der employed, what this life has cost As even
ing fell, only q small Federal forcs remsined to
the south Of the Rsppahannoek, and night saw
