Mexico.

The latest advices from Mexico are not
very favorable to the national cause. Que
rstAro, the capital of the State of that
name, was occupied by General Mejis, in
the interest Of the French, on the 18th Of
November, and Mejia, with the French
Rsneral DOnai, was to advance opon San
Luis de POtOsi, the present seat Of the Ma
tional Government an important city in
the State of Michoacsn. General Bazaine
was marching upon Guansjuaio, the ospi.
tsl Of the State Of which Doblado is Gov
ernor, and anticipated an easy conquest,
AID the city Of Guadslsjsrs was beseiged
By The Mexican allies of the French. It Is
also reported that Vidaurri, one of the
shlest leaders Of the Liberal party, and at
present Governor Of the States of NuevO
Leon and Coahuila, has gone over to the
French. General COmmonfOrt the best
and most reliable general in the Mexican
service, is dead, and his loss will be severe
ly felt. A brisk guerilla war is maintain
ed sgainst the invaders, but that will
never turn them aside from their purpose
Of conquest Altogether, the prospect for
Mexico is gloomy. Whether, when the
army Of the French presses the Mexican
people more closely, the latter will con
solidAte their forces and make q deter
nined and more vigorous struggle, re-
mains to be seen.

We have by the last steamers mails 40.
counts Of battle between Mr.. Golden and
the London Times. The Times charged
Mr.. Bright IN his recent speech at ROeh,
Gale, with advocating an sgrsrisn rsyOlu
ton; revolution by which the lands Of
the aristOcrscy might be subdivided and
pass into the hands Of FreehoIders. Such
a change IS this is eminently desirable
and lift can be accomplished by pesceable
means would find strong Champions both
in Mr.. Golden and Mr.. Bright. The sceu-
satien Of the Times, however, that Mr..
Bright advocated revolutionary over
throw Of the landed system Of England has
called out Mr. Golden. The Times, like
some Of it's would be imitators in this coun.
try, sndeaVOrs to shield its moral cowardice
and untruthful attacks Of public men un-
der the shield Of an incognito editorship.
Like the great Junius, stat nOHlihis in s5rd.
Mr. Golden in letter to the Daily
News, tears off the mask and exposes the
man whose oalumnies and ISLANDERS are SO
powerful simply because uttered by the
Times. The Press everywhere might
properly learn lesson from this affair.
So interruptions often are it's attacks on
public meR whose opinions it dislikes, that
in the estimation Of many people our pO-
litical journals are edited by scoundrels
who are sold body and soul to the service
Of party. This should not BE-. A proper
regard for truth and honor in Editorial
relations and in Editorial comment upon
public men and officers, will 60 far to place
the Press upon that solid basis Of respects-
bility which will make it still more eni-
tied to praise as the leader Of public opin-
ion. The English Press hive an idea that
newspapers should be entirely impersOnalr
and Editors anonymous. II is the paper
that is to be praised or blamed. COnduc.
tors and editors live and die; but the
paper is incOrpOreal, quite disconnected
from the individuals having charge Of it.
We believe in America, that Editors should
be made personally responsible for libels
and ISLANDERS when msliciously made.

Punch on RnIIna Postrr.

The lunaoy shown in some Of the ballad
poetry written nowadays was caricstured
by Punch in few remarkable verses, Of
which the following are specimens:
At midnight the rivals met in the whale.
And fought by the Light Of the grssshoppers's
tail
The elephant stood on his trunk TO take breath,
And the tiger cat costly hugged him to death.
Then with a cabbage stalk boldly he wrote
" Come, love, and tresd on the tail OF my coat
See thy own crocodile whIstling for thee"
He groaned-gave gurgle-a cold corpse was he!
Lovely, lovely Isaline
Blighted, plighted Isalnei
MournfCl croaz the cats serene:
Howl the goldfish ,ssmew the frogs;
Weep the shrimps, and purr the dogs:
All thy pets with rapture say
'Our lady will be wed to day"
But canst thou love a fish so green,
Blighted, plighted Isalinel

There is no delusion more current
among men and women even, than the one
which makes circumstances determine
happiness We would not by any means
fail to award to outward surroundings
much Influence; but still the man who
expects to be a happy man because he
lives in fine house, drives fine carriage
or has fst credit at the bank, is poor,
silly man. There must be fountain heed
Of life that does not have its birth in bonds
or notes, acres OF city lots. Let us iDdi-
cste one Of the things which go to make
life happy, however humble it be. A
spirit of eontentment notwithstanding
the little ills and vexsiOns which are al.
most ineradicably intertwined with every
phase Of human life, is essential to hsppi-
ness. A man may allow himself to be
gnaWed by carking, frstful cares until he
ts bundle Of discomfort oil the while.
The morning will look blue, noon bluer,
and night bluest
Il is q crest virtue in a man to be able
70 maintain his composure at sll times.
We like q man whom we know how to
meet. II you feel an impulse TO shake his
hand heartily or slap him on the shoulder,
you will not be obliged to make recon |
nOissanee Of him before you know how to
proceed. Identity Of social character is
sometimes the inevitable consequence Of
eSss physical organization. Good diges-
tion goes as far in making up human hap
piness as good conscience.
By ecntentment is not meant 3 State Of
sslfsstisfsction not mere snimal con-
-tsat with three meals day and sound
sleep. To men and women thus self-cen-
tered and sslf-suficient, there is an end of
al progress moral, social or intellectual
Garry sb0ut with you Christian content
but tear from your lifo the fretting ankle
ties which destroy, and the sluggish con-
tent that stupehes the spirit and measures
life by animal satisfaction or material pros
perity.

Lord PaImerstou ON scotIaud.

In speech recently delivered in Scot
land, Lord Palmerston said:
1 feel deep interest in Scotland, and q
deep sense of gratitude towards its people.
There is poetry and prose in all things.
Ny learned friend, Sir Roderiek Murc6i-
SOD, will tell you in prose that part Of
Scotland has within historic periods risen
greatly in the world-that it is TWENTY
tVe or thirty feet higher than it formerly
was. Scotland, however, has risen in
other ways besides the geological, and
would say that there is a difference on
this point between poetry and prose. One
Of your great poets gives a description of
Scotland by no means encouraging, but

That Europe is in q very respectful stti-
tude toward this country is evident in the
changed sentiment which few months
have wrought in the tone Of English and
French feeling. This change Of sentiment
in France is recognized by the leading
French political writers, but ascribed by
them chiefly to the cOldness that England
has shown to the recent pet scheme of the
Emperors for settling continental broils.
This may be urged quite plausibly as a
pretext and may be relished as sound doc
trins by Frenchmen; but we Americans
recognize altogether different causes.
The recent Address to the Throne in the
French Senate shows disposition to back
out of Mexico as soon as possible. France
must see that a collision with the restored
Union would be very dangerous to herself;
and hence will make every effort TO avoid
it by an honorable backing out of Mexico.
Our recent occupation of Brownsville and
consequent control Of the Rio Grsnde has
startled the Emperor and Marshal Forey
The recent overwhelming defeat of
Bragg has strengthened the rapidly grow
ing conclusion that this nation is the great
est military power on the globe.
Marshal Forey now says it will take
great many more men snd millions of
money to subjugate Mexico. With great
European war on her hands, she will see
the futility of trying to subjugate an un-
willing people and will recognize the fact
that we only wait to settle up our demes-
tic brOil before. we shall give his Majesty,
Louis Nap, s polite invitation to decsmp,
with bag and baggage, to his own shores.
