The New York World speaks of the devil
as the s. original RADICAL This is the very
essence of madness. Who does not know
that the devil was the original secessionist-
and that God was the radical who eradicated
him from Heaven? And yet the world is so
excessively polite to secessionists that it
seeks to vindicate them from all connection
with the devil, and pass him over to the ra.

TIE MEXICAN EMPIRE.-Tbe news is that the
Church party at the City of Mexico, under the
,uspices of the French Army Of Occupation,
have proclaimed the establishment of "The
Mexican Empire" Offering the imperial crow TO
Maximillian of Austria, and, in case he shall re-
fuse it, soliciting Napoleon III to name an EN-
peror for them. On this matter the Virginia
Union thus sensibly expatia:es:
"Maximllian, of Austria. to be seated on the
throne of the new Empire of Mexico A French
sdventurer places a Northman to rule over the
mingled races of Anahuac and Castillo! The
descendants of CorteE and Montezums, mixed
but not blended by over three centuries of atri
ton in the crucible OF time, have proved power
less TO resist the arms of the second Napoleon,
and the nationality of Mexico, rent and wounded
by years of civil fued lies down at last to die
There was time when, with good reason, it was
believed that Mexico, firing Of civil war, would
seek for self preservation by admission into the
Great Republic of North America. That hope
has been destroyed by the treason which has pre-
vented us from enforcing the Monroe Doctrine,
and now we shall have to watch powerful mon
archcal government on our southern frontier
Mexico, from this time forward, will develop in
all her resources and increase in her population,
but it will be development in which citizens Of
the United States will participate but little. All
the vast mineral and agricultural resources oil
our neighboring country will he thrown open TO
French capital and enterprise. Emigration from
France and Germany will rapidly follow the es-

shall pass away, unless events interfere with the
French Emperor's policy, there will be popu'

PRIvArEERs-The Hongkong Press states that
the japanese are evidently preparing to send out
privateers, in case of war with Great Britain (;
and the British are excited about it. Such a
result might injure British commerce almost as
much as American commerce has been injured
by Confederate privateers, fitted out in English
ports. The Chinese shippers prefer to ship their
goods in the vessels of neutral powers.
We see no reason why Americans should not
take ou! letters Of marque from the japanese, as
Englishmen have done from the Confederate
authorities Time at last makes all things
even" and John Bull may find that the immense
injury he has inflicted upon American commerce
by his hollow neutrality, may be repaid with
Interest.

ENCOURAGE THEM-The speeches of Tod Rob.
inson, John Bigler and John b. Weller, being
delivered under their appointments, are doing
more actual service for the Union ticket than
Coles or Higbys. They tickle the Secesh and
disgust the real Union men in their party. Only
give them rope, and they will hang themselves.
1t would be unwise to stop them by military
arrest. Some Democrats won't believe us when
