MAxIMILIAH AND THR MIxIoAHs,

Late advices from Mexico indicate that
the empire Of Macmillan !, is q fat accom-.
PHI. Already the leading men of the Mex
icau people are becoming attached to the
new dynasty. AlmireE has consented to
assume the portfolio of the State Depart
ment, and Gen. DoblRdo has perfectly &C.
quiesced in the recent changes. This
peaceful solution Of the question, though
perhaps unexpected ne 50 q1lcsy Gann Sn
the Mexican people, having now for forty
years suffered ali the evils of q civil war,
will gladly accept any Government which
will give them peace. This consideration,
added to the discreet personal bearing Of
Macmillan aud his suite, is fast securing
he confidence of the people. Should the
acquiescence of the Mexicans become per.
feet in their new Government, It will per.
haps become necessary to revise the popu-
lar notions of the Monroe Doctrine, which
have seemed of late to depart from the
original faith.

THE SALVAGE CAsEs.-In the U. S. Dis
trict Court yesterday, the cases for salvage
against goods recovered from the wreck of
the Bohemian, came up. There are seven
teen cases of this character.
Fessenden & Butler appear for the libellants
and Shepley & Dana for the claimants. The
latter put in a claim to the goods for the Mon
treal Ocean, Steamship Company. U. S. Dis
trict Attorney G. Z. b. Jackson, Esq, inter-
venes for the government in claim for du-
ties.
The first case was that of Edward r. Low,
William II. Slower, and Moses NJ. Stearns, of
Boston, and ID. johnson and Benz. Mitchell,
oil Cape Elizabeth, libellants, against p pieces
of gentlemen's cloth, pieces Of ladies' cloth,
4 pieces Of barthia, lot Of women's apparel
in tangled state, bbls turpentine, bale OF
ribbons, lot of spool cotton, and lot of
miscellaneous goods in tangled state, which
the libellants saved from the wreck of the
steamship, and subsequently placed in the
possession of the U. S. Marshal. These goods
have not yet been sold.
After the evidence in this case was through,
second one was taken up. 1t was Henry L.
Miller and William p. Miller, of Cape Eliza
beth, libellant, VS.. 80 pieces of wooden goods
and % pieces of mixed goods, picked up by
them from the wreck and delivered to the
agents OF the steamship, and which have since
been sold for the sum of $40.
After the hearing in these cases was over,
without giving an opinion, the Court adjourn
ed to $50 Saturday morning, at which time
the libel of VIM. Daisley, owner and master OF
schooner White Rover, will be taken up.
There was a large attendance in the Court
room, principally of those interested in ibels
against goods saved.

TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES. = We do
not believe there is a city in the Union that
possesses such facilities for transportation and
transshipment of freight, as does Portland. A
cargo of grain, lumber, or anything else from
the west, can be run on to any of our wharves
in the cars, without any delay, and be taken
on board the vessel. And so ii is with freight
from vessels to 60 west. 1t can be taken on
board of the cars along side of the ship, and
all delay is avoided. The Boston people have
found this out, and to their cost, as it would
seem from the proceedings before commit
tee of the City Council of that city few eve
nings since, upon the petition of the Union
Freight Horse Railroad Company, for loca-
ton of track. Several of the gentlemen who
spoke upon the matter alluded to the superior
facilities of Portland, and stated that business
was running away from Boston in conse-
quence of the want Of them in that city.

"a soldier in communication to the
Washington Chronicle, says:-"My heart is
often panied to see to what fearful
extent whiskey predominates among our Off
GERS and men. Many hundreds, yea thousands
of our young men who were temperate at
home, have been reduced by the monster,
rum, which is furnished freely to them by
suffers and purveyors, despite the restriction
placed upon them by the War Department.
How will the parents, the loved ones of those
feel when their sons and brothers return to
them with thnir constitution, once robust and
healthy, now undermined-not by the hard
ships and privations of camp life, but by the
accused evil Of rum drinking"
syThe New York Times in an article on
"Hotels uersus Homes .,.says the growing pre-
ference for hotel life, for the mere purpose of
avoiding trouble" or in other words of
Sinking every duty in life but that of eating
and drinking, and wearing fine clothes, is one
of the curses OF New York, and is doing a
serious injury to the whole community. There
can be nothing worse for women than an idle
life in hotel, without single serious object
for their thoughts, and without single duty
to perform that affords the slightest amount of
exercise for either mind or body. There can be
nothing worse for children than to grow up
without the knowledge of what home is,
without any OF its influences or associations,
and without any more endearing and elevat-
ing remembranees of boyhood or girlhood,
than those of hotel "feeds," and the noise and
glare, and heat, and dirt of hotel corridors
and parlors, and the folly, and frivolity, and
vulgarity of the promiscnous crowd that
throng them.
