have not only captured jackson. Miss, but
have probably attacked Polk's rebel forces
at Meridian, fifty miles East of jackson. -

Ihave Just seen and conversed with gen

| rebel troops at Mobile.
There is free market at Mobile, for sup
plying all poor people with food. There il
no great destitution there, as has been 81
often reported.
There are no negroes there, the slave!

The grand cavalry expedition under Gen.
W. l.. Smith leaves here this evening, in
the direction Of Corinth, and will no doubt
soon be heard from in the interior of Missis-

in its proportions and plan of operations.
General Buckland, the new commandant
Of this district; has taken General Hurlbuts

There is no other news here or from below
at present.
P. ST. have a slight inkliug Of pro-

Rock and thereabouts, are in good state Of
organization, and movement Southwark

troops in Texas move Northward, will by

the war in that region to an early focus
1t is anticipated that by the first of June
there will be nothing left Of the rebellion

Highly Important from Mexico.


The news which we have this morning
from Mexico via Havana is of the highest
importance. Ii true-and we see no reason
to doubt its, correctness-it indicates the
downfall Of the Mexican Republic and the
successful establishment of monarchy on
our. Southern border :.
The least important portion Of the news
is the reported adhesion Of "a plumber OF
towns and villages to the Empire These
towns and villages are all within the lines OF
the French; they have had sfnpe thsir oc-
cupation by the French troops and their
Mexican allies municipal authorities con-
s;sting of fanatical partisaiiS Of, the Empire.
Pint Tie unobstructed, progress Of the
; French, the capture Of Uraga, and the des
nair and resignation Of President Juarez
leave no doubt that the hour Of agony ha'
arrived for the republic, Ortega, who sue
ceeds Juarez as President, and Doblado
still hold out; but for the present: we se'
no ray Of hope for the Mexican Republic
!. Unless events extraordinary and entlrel
unforeseen occur, and put to the long serie
Of misforunes sudden stop, the Mexican
must shon give up the unequal struggle, :

The American Pulp it.

Surveying the American pulpit, find it
occupied BY men who can legitim ately be
divided into two great classes, and these,
for the present purpose, will call tho
poetieal aud the unpoetical. am not sure
that these designations are sufficiently
definite, or even sufficiently suggestive, but
can tell you what mean by them. The
class which denominate poetical is com.
posed of men who possess imagination,
strong and tender sympathies, profound
insight into human character and motive,
and the power TO attract 70 themselves the
affections of those around them. These men
possess also what we term individuality in
an unusual degree--a quality which carries
with it the power to transmute truth into
life-to resolve systems into character--to
appropriate, digest, and assimilate all spirit
! ual food whatsoever, so that when they preach
they do not preach as the mouth-pleces OF
! school, or sect, or system, but as reye-
lators and promulgators OF lite. These
are the preachers who touch men, because
they preach out of their own life and e1pe
rience. These are the men who speak from
the heart and reach the heart-snd possess
what, for lack of better name we, callmag-
netism. The unpoetical class may roughly 10
defined by the statement thar thsyIafs the
opposites of the poetcal. They haveno
Imagination they are not. men of strong
2 and tender sympathies they do not possess
fine insight, though some of them possess q
degree Of cunning which is mistaken for it;
= they baSe not the power to attract to them
selves the affections of those around them;
they do not possess true individuality, thousf
: they may have peculinrities or idiosyneTscie
which pass for it; and in their utternce
they are little more than mouthpieees .

In ACCOUNTS from the South state that the
rebel armies have to-day more men than at
any moment since the commencement of
the war--conscriptions having been ruth.
lessly enforced; and unless our armies are
strngly reinforced before spring. the military
authorities believe that much of the advan-
tage we have gained in the last twelve months
must inevitably be lost by the evacuation
Of ofterritory, which we will not have troops
enough to garrison.
