ascertalHed that greater part of the materials ne
cessary for the construction of "artlcial limbs"
could not be procured in the Confederacy They
were then Immediately ordered in Europe, and our
agent there instructed to ship them in the Ad Vance
on her return trip, in July last Unfortunately.
these materials themselves had to be made to order.
aud SO much time was necessarily consumed in pre-
paring them, that the ship was compelled to sail
without them. The subsequent capture of the Ad

tnelr importation impossible up to the present mo.

An Important Suggestion.

Confederate officer in the field, and one
who has Seen hard service, suggests that the
commandants Of stationary posts throughout
the Confederacy be required by the Govern
ment to take possession OF unoecupied
lands in their vicinity, and work them ior
the production Of vegetables, corn, and
other articles of food essential to the sup
port of the army and people. In this way
they could raise an abundance for their own
support and to spare, and thus relieve the
Commissary Department ola heavy draft
Such an employment would also add to the
health of the soldiers, relieve them of the
te.!inm of camp life, and in every way pro
mote their comfort
Every plan for increasing the supply OF
food should receive the hearty support Of
the Government and people We, therefore,
commend this suggestion most cordially to
the attention of the authorities.

The Ueitet Ssases and Mckee.
Notwithstanding the resolution anani-
moosiy adopted by the Federal House OF
Representatives not "to acknowledge a
Mcnaschical Government erected upon the
rusns Of any Republican Government in
America under the auspices Of any European
power" we look for nothing beyond words
In that quarter. Having erected despotic
Government on the ruins of their own Re-
pub'lc, they can have no conscientious scrn-
pies against mild monarchy In Mexico likc
that of Macmillan. The policy OF the thing
Will be their rule Of action, and they are not
fools enough 10 beard the military power Of
France. The resolution Of the House, as
Mr. Cox justly characterized 1t, Is mere
trutsm yaln;ea, unless backed by arms. And
how ARE they going to back it IN that way ?
They have already more on their hands in
that way than they can attend to. Bullying
the South and cringing to Europe is the ex-
tent OF their capacity.
II they had never driven the Southern
States from the Union the United States
would have escaped its profound humiliation
which 1t now suffers. Or, if it could con-
quer the South, it might be in fair way OF
retrieving lis disgrace, and sending back
Maximilian to the land OF his fathers BY
the aid Of Southern troops and Southern
Generals 1t brought the whole Of Mexico to
its knees without difficulty, aud, with such
auXiliaries, what might it not accomplish
against the few foreign troops of Maximil-
Ian, unsnstained by the energies of united
peopleg But the soldiers who conquered
Mexico arc now defending the Mexican cm-
pife as well as their own country. Does the
United States perceive the difference? Per-
haps Macmillan niay appreciate it.
