The Campaign la Georgia.
The joy at getting thlrty-three thousand bales
Of abandoned cotton, in abandoned Savannah,
begins TO be tempered with an estimate Of the
value Of the loss of the fifteen thousand troops
and artillery that Hmdee was allowed to march
Off with. These troops have got 70 be fought by
us at Charleston or Richmond, or along the way
to both cities It is now thought the cotton will
hardly balance our account cuuen, with them TO
the end Of the war.

Of the war, and the prospects oi the Rebellion,

on manly ears with the ring Of a vikings
sword le6png from lis scabbard my idea Is
that every young and middle aged man ought 90
be proud Of the chance 20 fight for the integrity OF
the country. l would like 10 see all trade and
commerce absolutely cease until this conflict Is
over; and all who can fight, and wont hsht,
ought to be killed or banished and those who
wont support those who do fight should be Dc
nationalized.h
Mexican Affairs.
Official dispatches received here from Mexico
state that President Juarez entered the City Of
chihuahua on the 18th Of October last, having
met with a very enthusiastic reception from the
people Of that city, as well as from the inhabitants
Of other towns in that State.
The Mexican President had intended 90 esta-
blish his residence In the city Of Durango, after
that city was occupied by the National forces.
But the French having obtained a victory at
Estauzuela on the 10th, the Mexican army had
to withdraw TO Chihuahua.
President Juarez is there, busily engaged in
organizing another army to carry on more eff
GENTLY the war against the invaders. He writes
to a friend Of his in this city in the most hopeful
manner.
The general impression in Mexico appears TO
be that MaKimilian's rule has SO many obstacles
in It's way that II cannot stand more than six
months, even in case the Mexican patriots should
be hereafter as unfortunate as hitherto. Maxi
milan has set aside the Church party, which was
the means by which he went 10 Mexico, and has
eAiled two OF lis principal leaders,
lie wishes 10 eonclliate the Liberals, but in that
he will certainly fail, and he will remain without
any hold on the Mexican people. His principal
trouble is, Just now, his want Of money, aud Of
credit 10 borrow any.
