MExIco-.The Mexicrn embraglio
seems destined to become an "institu-
ton" 1t has already assumed many
phases and now we get by telegraph
from San Francisco Sept 10th further
Advioes from San Louis Potosi, Mexi-
co, to the 18th of August, furnish tho
highly important intelligence that
President Juarez and Cabinet have
been urged by leading Mexicans and
representatives of South American re-
publics to form continental alliance,
embracing Chill, Peru and Columbia,
the Argentine Confederation, San Sal
vador, Honduras, Costa RIGA, Nicar'
aqua, Guatamaula, and Mexico, fol-
the purpose of resisting European en-
croachments on Mexico, or any Other
South American republic. The Uni
ted States are to be invited to SEND
delegates to cooperate, in the elegant
phraseology of the Older Willel
"here's a CO." Indeed should sucf
an alliance be effected would not thu
Crown of that empire have in it nov
and then thorn. Poor Maximilliar
seems to have many obstacles in hi
way to the throne.

CoNTnAcroRs.-There never was a
class of men more thoroughly abused
than contractors. Because they make
money out of the government instead
of individuals they become swindlers.
Is a government then SO sacred as that
all its contracts must ensure to its ben
eft, instead of to tho contractors? Is
it not rather the government that
should receive the censure for so car
lessly performing the duties delegated
to it by too confding public? We
like the idea of the present administra-
ton in appointing commissioner to
see that contracts are faithfully exc
cuted, and to correct errors, and pun
ish frauds. Give us few instances
of exact justice to oil defrauders of the
government and let tho balance un-
derstand that there are those upon
their trail who will not be remiss in
exposing and furnishing offences, and
that cannot be bribcd into silence, and
we shall hear no more about huge
Irishwomen in diamonds, and hostlers
in jewels.
Let the government but perform its
duty, and individuals will not be ac-
cused of having possessed themselves
of finery stolen under cover of con-
tract. 1t is always expected among
all classes Of people, that every man
will make the best possible bargain
for his own interest, without any re-
gard to the interests of the other par
ties.
1t was in the celebrated grafton of
Demosthenese, denouncing the con-
scription and proAigacy of the Greeks.
that he used this language in relation
to contractors.
'Behold the despicable creatures,
all at once from dirt to opulence, from
tho lowest obscurity to the highest
honors. Have not some Of these up
starts built private houses and seats

PoLITIcAL MEANNEss.-An things
may be fair in politics to some politi-
clans, but the attempt made by Forney
of the Philadelphia Press to make Gen.
Meade, when accepting the sword re-
Gently presented him, endorse Govern
or Curtin and recommend him to the
people of that State as suitable can
didate for Governor at the coming cleo
ton smacks of meanness rather too
strong for even politician. 1t was
all fabrication and General Meade did
not do anything of the kind. He is
conservative by education and past po-
litical association; but even were he a
Republican, he is man of too keen a
sense of the proprieties to make po-
litical recommendation at such time.
The forgery has been exposed, but the
Republican press of the State, which
eagerly copied it from the Press, has
not the decency, as yet, to tell the truth
The Republican canvass in Pennsylva-
MIA must be in bad way when such
means are resorted to to make politi-
cal capital for Governor Curtin.

the Western & Atlantic Railway, the

by our forces and must soon fall. II
is the eastern terminus of the Nash
vile 4 Chattanooga road and forms
tho angular connection with the line
Of railroad from Charleston, s. c.,

terminus of two important lines, and
the most prominent point upon third,
it was selected for the location of the
founderies, machine shops, &C., for all
their lines. Its capture therefore not
only deprives the rebels of these
works, but cuts their communication
between the East and West. Burn

mand of the entire plateau of East
Tenn. which is proverbially healthy,
and capable from its own resources, of
sustaining a large army. How Sc
riously this will effect the rebel army,
at Richmond, few weeks will tell.

In my hasty note from Toronto we
omitted to notice few things and cir
cumstances to which we now recur,
with the design of being more system
attic hereafter in this respect. The
wood used is brought from distance
of from one to two hundred miles in
vessels, and sells at from 81 to $3.50
on the dock this would equal 1925
to So, our currency. The railroads
terminating in the city are the North
ern, which runs to Collingwood, and
the Great Western the Grand Trunk
is the only one passing through, the
others connecting either with this or
with steamers to other points. OF
steamers there is no overplus, one, the
Zimmerman, having recently been
burned, and some ten others sold to
American parties. Americans are al
so buying up all the surplus horses in
the vicinity for military purposes, and
Americans generally have a finger in
a large share of the most lucrative
business about town. The shows arc
villainous attempts at concert halls,
none of which are any more TO be
compared to Wray's, in our city, than
an organ-grinder with his dirty para
phernalia and ever distracting notes to
a first class minstrel troupe. OF arch
ictectural attractions we think Toronto
can boast two specimens unsurpassed
on the American Continent,-Os-
goods Hall and the University. The
general character of the former, on
the inside in particular, is ornate,
tasteful and gorgeous, far beyond our
power of description, while the latter
is massive, imposing, and without and
within discovers freshness of imagi-
nation and versatility of resource on
the part of the architect which fill the
beholder with wonder, while he is in
spired with awe at the vastness of the
structure. The approaches, enclosure
and surroundings also display taste
and elegance which evince the highest
state of cultivation and refinement
The main avenue of approach from
Queen Street is broad and straight,
with n border of low trees on either
side, foot-paths next to these, then
grass plats; and in the centre hand
some carriagc-way. The grounds are
gently undulating, with exquisite di-
versity of shade and open ground
miniature pond supplies the water to
little brook which threads its way
through slight ravine within the en-
closure, the paths wind among the
trees, across the lawns, by the road
side, over rustic bridges and elsewhere,
in methodical carelessness, and every
thing is easy, natural, beautiful. The
gracefully sloping and well kept lawn
fronts the University buildings, while
at little distance across the brook
another lawn, interspersed with spots
Of shade, affords fine accommodation
for the public. Wo wero there ON

Japan, Yarknbama, July "a I
SIR-On the Goth of June the Ame-
rican steamer Pembroke was attacked
at Simaucke, 600 miles from here, by
vessels of the Prince of Nagate. On
the 10th of July the Wyoming blew
up his steamer, sunk a ten gun brig,
engaged six batteries, with loss of
four men killed and seven men woun-
ded. A French gunboat was fired
into on the 7th of July, and Dutch
sloop of war opsthe 18th, at the same
place. On the 50th of July a French
Admiral destroyed one of shese bat
teries.
(Signed) ROBERT H. PRUYN,
L. 5. Minister.
This dispatch bears date only four
days after the payment of the British
demand, and although we may feel a
natural pride in the achievements of
our ships of war in sinking hostile
vessels and silencing forts, while the
representatives of such nations as
France and England are hesitating
what course to pursue; we cannot but
regret the loss of the vantage ground
we once held in being friendly with
the Tycoon, and trust that the COM
mander of the Wyoming was justified
in his acts by the gravest emergency.
But Just now it looks as if he had been
made cats-paw Of by the French
and English, with the double purpose
of stirring up hostility towards our
government, and gaining better foot
ing. England has, from the time
Jeddo was thrown open to foreign
ships, been doing her utmost to stir
up some plausible excuse for attacking
and Selling some one of the ports of
that kingdom. Hitherto we have WISE
ly avoided any interference in this
matter, and have been growing in ia
vor with the Japanese government,
and unless he has some very solid rea-
son for his course, we hope our gov
eminent will give the conduct of the
commander of the Wyoming its sever
est censure.
