The MEXICAN QUEsTIoN-MAxIMILIAX Ac-
cEpTs TINE THRoNE.-A Paris letter says :
"The Count Motholom will start on the 10th
tie curious that, having been so lately en-
poycd as French Consul Genera at New York,
he should ardcntly recommend the recognition
of the South"
The London Times city article says: "1t is
not believed thai anything is really known Of
the plans contemplated by the French Govern
mcnt for establishing the future financial po-
sition of the Mexican Empire.
1t is, however, reported that the nearly isoa-
ted peninsula of old or BOWER California, divided
from Sonora by gulf 700 miles long. called the
Lake of California, or Eermillion Sea, will be
the territorial security cccded to France. It
contains some sixty thousand square miles. 1t
bounds in silver, gold, lead and copper mines,
and islands covered with forests of cedar trees.
1t is, more over, the nearest point in Mexico to
the French possessions in the Pacific.
The London Morning Post Of the 18th has
special telegram from Paris, announcing that
cepted the throne Of Mexico.
The Times, in its city article, says that there
is no reason to anticipate any trouble from the
manner in which the United States will regard
the proceedings in Mexico. 1t quotes from
tho New York Journal of Commerce to sustain
these views.
A HORRIBLE ScENE.-A correspondence of
the Columbus EnQuarcr says:
have been on several battle fields, and
have read many descriptions of them, but none
| that nave ever seen or read of can compare
with that Of Chickamauga. During the ticrc-
est of the fight on Saturday evening, where
our division (Stcwart's) was engaged, the woods
took fire and spread rapidly. The killed and
wounded suffered from its terrible effects alike
1t was enough to make ones heart bleed to
witness the agonics of our wounded comrades
as they laid upon their backs utterly powcress
to help themselves, while the consuming cle-
mcnt had fast hold on some and WAS rapidly
approaching others. May we be spared the
necessity of witnessing such another sight.

GRAND IMPROMPTU DEMON-
STRATION.
A PEACE EDITOR AMONG THE GUER.
RILLA HUNTERS.
He Drinks to the Health of JEFF.
DAVIS.
He PERPETUATES THE MEMORY OF
A. SIDNEY JOHNSON.

For several days past we have heard
rumors that distinguished peaca-at-any-
price editor from Indiana had gone to
tae Green river country on patriotic
mission, to-wit: to obtain an expression
of the sentiments of the soldiers in that
region on the conduct of the war, and to
procure material with which to counter
act the rather damaging effects of the
resolutions of the soldiers at Murfrees-
boro and Corinth on the prospects of the
peace-at-any-price Democracy, and the
advocates of Northwestern Confed-
eracy.
The reception met with by this second
Greene apostle of peace, at the hand of
the brave boys of the Goth, 9Ist and
18th, was of the most unmistakable and
appreciatiye character, their feelings
finding vent in load cries and groan-
lngs, that cannot be re-uttered.
After diligent inquiry we receive the
main facts of the following account of
his pilgrimage and experience from eve
and ear witnesses, the whole being cor
roborated from various sources, and we
doubt not the statements made are sus-
ceptible of the amplest proof.
Our informants say that Mr.. Greene,
the editor of the Vincennes Sun. went to
Henderson on Saturday night last and
his presence in the city was reported
among the troops on Sunday morning
There was suspicion on the part of
the soldiers that he was there for no
good purpose, but they felt disposed to
pass him by with silent contempt and
would have done SO but for the manifest
exhibition of rebel sympathies and in
stincts on his part during the day.
All his associates, both private and pub
lie. were the bitterest kind of rebels, such
as only Henderson can produce.
at the bar of the Hancock House, it is
said, he Joined nth a party Of rebels in
drinking to the health of Jeff. Davis, and
it is also said he boosted that he had
named his son Albert Sidney in honor of
the rebel General Albert Sidney johnson.
Under such circumstances, the BOYS
thought it would not be proper to allow
him to leave without in some way bear
ing testimony to their appreciation of
their distinguished fellow citizen of Indi-
ana, especially as it was reported that he
purposed making a pilgrimage to the
different military posts throughout the
Green River country.
