peace, nor our fortunes security, nor commerce
increase. The Franco Mexican army will, as
the first act they perform, pursue 1t until it
surrenders, or is driven from the national Ger
ritory; and in proportion as the towns shake
OF their intolerable yoke, they will begin to
already liberated enjoy. At the same time,
suitable measures will be dictated to expedite
the pacifcation of the departments, and dimin-
ish the ruin which the agents OF damagOgisn
still occasion them.
Our misdeeds and the acts committed by
terrorists against friendly nations have discred-
tied us in the old world. Good and digniied
governments and with the Sovereign Pontiff;
every effort will be made to ratify the obliga-
tions of Mexico with friendly powers. And
with the protection of France and the other
nations that shall support the new government,
we shall be respected abroad, and the honor
and credit of the nation will be repaired.
We have told you frankly what we think of
the difficult commission which we have re-
ceived. In spite of our insufticiency, mnch
will be done if eminent men Ofall kinds assist.
Let our disgraceful discord at last end. Let
the scandal which We have given to the world
cease. Let there be concord, union, peace and
public spirit among us. Let the sordid specu-
lations at public misfOrtunes be extirpated, and
let those riches be turned to great and lucra-
tive industrial enterprises. Let honest labor
be the foundation Of fortunes let functiona-
ries have no power over the laws nor the laws
over morality. Let religion and authority,
property and liberty, order and peace. be at
last precious realities for Mexicans. May the
God of armies, who has so directly favored our
cause, reward the generosity and sincere inter-
ventiOn of France, and the patriotic intention
with which we good Mexicans have accepted
it with the speedy grandeur and prosperity of
the uatiOn.

War as a FraterniZer.

1t has been the universal testimony of
those who have been in our own and the
rebel armies that there is far less bitter
ness of feeling between the soldiers of the
respective armies, than between the nom
combatants of the opposing sections.
In late letter to the N. Y. Tribune
from Vicksburg, we see a further and
marked confirmation of this fact. The
writer says:
1t is very evident that the besiegers and
besieged have learned lesson of mutual
respect in the course of the protracted
struggle now over SO happily. On former
occasions a disposition to friendliness has
been exhibited by men who few minutes
earlier or later were seeking one another's
lives. To-day both armies seem to have
discarded every feeling of personal bitter
ness, and to have recognized the quarrel
in which they have been fighting public
one, that ought not to interfere with friend
ly personal relations. Wherever you turn
in the streets of Vicksburg, and on what
ever transport you 60, you will find Union
officers and soldiers treating rebel officers
and soldiers to the best eatables and drinks
our army can afford, as if they were old
friends just met after long separation.
Cordiality and good feeling prevail
throughout the city.
On every hand you hear expressions of
pleased surprise from the rebels at what
they term the gentlemanly character of
their captors, and they seek opportunities
to reciprocate the courtesies extended to
them with an avidity showing that they
do not desire to be outdone in politeness.
There is no jeering or taunting by our
men. I am confident that there has
not been to-day single instance where
any officer or soldier of our army has
indulged in any useemly exultation
over the fallen foemen. We have even
been restrained from cheering, and moth
ing, absolutely, has been done to add hu-
initiation to the cup of sorrows which the
rebels have been compelled to drink. Of
course this universal prevalence OF good
feeling has tempted the men of both arm
les to resort to moral suasiOn and argu-
ment for vindication Of their respective
positions as belligerents. heh
I have listened attentively to many dis
cussions of the cause of the war, had on
the street corners AMI everywhere, ex-
pecting them to result in high words of
defiance and recrimination. But, to my
surprise, have never elsewhere heard
these conversational controversies. about
the war, and its causes and ends, so calmly
and mildly conducted since the commence
ment of our national troubles. No one
who has witnessed this extraordinary
meeting of the,two armies can fail to have
seen this friendly spirit manifested. It is
subject Of remark throughout our army.
Ny belief in the irreconcilable character Of
the, feud between the North and the South
has been greatly undermined thereby.

To the Deuty Belo0ed FdihtM L@ty Of tie
Diocese, Health and B,,sedictiOn:
DEARLY BELovED-In the name of the God
of charity, and through that charity which He,
who called us to be your Bishop, has given us
for you through that charity of Christ, in us,
however unworthy, through which we would
cheerfully give our life, if necessary, for each
and every one of you; we beg of you for
love in heaven and on earth, to abstain from
all resistance to the law from all riot, from all
tumultuous gatherings from all violence.
In New York, many misguided men, yet
very few. we believe, of practical Catholics,
have shed blood in the late riot. and 1.-THE
voice of their brothers blood cries to the
Lord from the earth" Some of the rioters

and exhort, from all who would excite to asso-

sake of your dear families; for the sake Of
your fathers and mothers, whether still pill
grims on earth, or mingling with '' the blessed
crowd of witnesses" who from heaven watch
over your conduct on earth; we exhort you to
trust in God and not to lend yourselves to any
EXETER to mob violence, which so often leads
to murder. If you follow the advice OF your
Father in Christ, we confidently assure you
that: "Whosoever shall follow this rule I:
peace shall be upon him, and mercy; and upon

We require that this letter be read in every

The Albany Common Council and
the Draft.

AT meeting of the Albany Common
Council on Thursday last, a petition was
presented by the Mayor, to the following
effect -
To the Common Council OF tie City Of ANany:
The undersigned, residents of the said city,
respectfully represent, that in the present con-
dition Of public affairs, growing out of oppo
sition to the draft for the army, proposed to
be made by the General Government, they be-
lieve it to be expedient, and therefore recon-
mend that should the draft eventually take
place, the city should assume to pay the ex-
emption money, in all these cases where per-
sons are drafted. They make this recOmmen-
datiOn with less hesitation, looking at the
amount involved, than they otherwise would,
as they hope and believe that the Government
will find it to be inexpedient to take any further
measures to enforce the draft.
This is signed not only by such Demo-
Gratis as ERAsrus CORNING, JOHN Y. l..
PRuYN, and others, but by the leading par
tisans of the administration and supporters
of the war in Albany Among these names
are those of RUFUS II. KING, THOMAS W.
OLCUTT, H. II. MARTIN, &c. The petition
is also approved by Mayor LUTHER Sew
eral propositions were accordingly intro
duced in the Council, fayoring the appro.
priation of 100000 to S5O0,OOO for the
purpose specified in the petition. The sub
iect was finally referred to the Law and
Finance Committees, who are charged with
the duty of "perfecting a plan whereby
those drafted may be released from the
operation of the conscription act.

Procla III alton by JEFF. Davfs-.A new
COnscriptfOn.

Southern papers of the 10th, received
at Washington, are very gloomy over the
rebel situation. The Richmond Enquirer
says the only salvation of the Southern
Confederacy is in calling out a levy of all
the people, the application of martial law
to the whole country, as in state of
siege, and the absolute control of all trade.
The same paper publishes the following
proclamation by jeff. Davis:

gress. entitled IAN act to further provide for
