what Went with the Monroe
Doctrine.

The following, from the London Daily
Neios, makes clear, what was before the cause
of perplexity to many. 1t seems thai Mr..
SEWARD has sold Mexico, and thrown the Mon
ROE Doctrine into the bargain. The Net0s
says, Speaking Of MAxIMlLLlAN's acceptance
of the Mexican throne):
'The difficulties originally started by the
Archduke were, it will be remembered, OF two
kinds. In the first place, he required certain
securities against the contingent hostility OF
the United States, and in the second, he de.
manded evidence Of his domestic security, ii
no. in the result Of a ptebiscite, at least in a
state Of things which should assure him that
he was not the mere catspaw of a partial mil
itary revolution, On the former OF these
points, it is understood that the extraordinary
mission of Marshal Forey to Washington had
for its result an undertaking of the United
States government not TO disturb the new
Mexican monarchy; aud in return for this as
surance, it is believed that certain promises
we're made by France in regard to the attitude
ofthat country toward the Confederate States.
We have no need to look for Democratic
comment on the above. Here is what the
Boston Courier, a Republican paper, says:
without vouching for tho authority Of this
painful rumor from abroad, we can only say,
il the Administration has been so r~ecreant to
its promises of moral support to the Mexican
national cause, its hitherto we'll defined policy
upon this subject, its professions of attach
| ment to the Monroe doctrine, and the over
whelming popular sentiment OF the country,
| as to enter into such an arrangement with the
agent Of the French Emperor-or even tacitly
20 encourage such an understanding-it has
much to answer for, and will meet on every
hand a spontaneous outburst OF popular in
d~ignaion. We cannot serve God aud Nam
mon; add if the American people are really
as they profess to be, the friends of republican
Mexico, and mean AS its special guardians to
keep their noble continent intact from the en-
eroachments of European %despotism, as they
solemnly declared they would, it is pAlpabld
treason in their Government TO say it will not
resent or resist the violation Of these well
defined principles, and an act Of dastardly
meanneas and s%eryility, for it to encourages
such foreign interference by pleading that the
country is not in a condition to resist it. The
people desire to know the whole truth in
regard to General Forey's intercourse with
the Government at Washington, and in regard
to any negotiations with France touching tht
Mexican question, which may have given rise
to this European scandal,

Another Oath suggesled.

Congress and the State Legislature have
latterly employed themselves in ldevising
GA this. for all public officers, to the effect
that they have not borne arms against the
Federal Government, and will, so long as
they remain in Office, support LTNcoLN's
Administration, right OF wrong. We
suggest another; viz: Let the incumbent
be sworn that he has not ftolen or en-
bezzled any of the public funds, and
that, while in Office, he will refrain wholly
from grand or petty larceny. This latter
oath is really more essential to the public

The process Of Reimbursement.

A year Or two ago, many OF the "loyal
people, surprised themselves and their
neighbors, by making liberal subscriptions
for the support soldiers wives, DC.
1t was suspected by the discerning, at
the time, that there was a cat in the meal;
but il was not certainly known until 1t
was afterward announced that they were
to be reimbursed from the several county
treasures; aud it is not ascertained that
any loyalist has neglected to take back the
uttermost rarthing that no has given. Ger
tain of the States have made liberal adj
vances for the prosecution of the war; and
now we arc told that the States are to be
reimbursed from the Federal Treasury. So
far, 80 good. The next step will be to ore
imburse'' tho Federal Treasury for the in
conceivable aggregate of its expenditures
How is this to be done? Before it is eff
Gected, we opine that the States will be
called upon for contributions vastly larger
than their "reimbursements," and even the
"loyal people," who publicly subscribed
liberal sums, and blazoned their charity
to the world, and then sneaked into the
treasurer's office, and took back what they
had given, will find some day that the
war imposes exactiOns on their pHrses, foI
winch no warrants will ever be issued on
a n~eighboring treasury. The system o.
reimbursement is a good one. We adj.
mire it. Its only defect consists in the
fact that it cannot be made to work indie.
fnitely. The country may reimburse IN
~dividuals; the State make good what the
county has given; and the General Gov
eminent may repay tile State. But every
farthing Of the whole amount is paid al
last by the sweat and labor of the toilingr
tax-p aging people. At this point, the
system of reimbursement abruptly stops.

important from Knoxville.
L-oNGsTREET's ADvANoK.
DAnger 10 East Fennessee and Kentuekg
IFrom the CINCINNATI Gazette, January qo.I

At length we have full aud definite inteIli-
gence from Knoxville, through a letter from
our special correspondent, written on Wednes-
day the 10th inst. Longstreet II SCENE, did
advance, and on Sunday week there was a &C.
we're cavalry fight, in which we lost one hun
red and 6ny. The enemys loss was also heavy.
Subsequently, the enemy moved down the
cambridge road, seemingly with the intention
Of thanking Knoxville. Our forces, under
General Sturgis, fell back to Knoxville, but
again crossed the Holston river and moved
toward Sevierville, which is sixteen miles
southeast from Knoxville. General Granger
was moving in the same direction, aud the
enemy being in force, a battle was believed 10
be pending on the 10th, when our correspond
snt dispatched his letter. 1t had been salts.
f~actorily ascertained that Longstreet had re.
eeived re-eniorcements from Virginia, some OF
the prisoners taken on Sunday, being fresh
from Richmond. There was much anxiety at
Knoxville on the goth, and q panic among the
citizens, many Of whom were procuring pass
es Tor the North. Longstreet occupied all the
f~oraging ground, where anything was to be
had. This was important to him, but hardly
less 50 to us. The enemy, it will be observed
by looking at the map, have pressed our forces
buNhf lioNNANhiN1 ~ Nv HAhNI bha - WAa
danger Of another siege, for which it is to be
feared arc not well prepared. Longstreet
however, will have difficulty in maintaining
his forces before Knoxville for any gresI
length of time. During the former siege he
had railroad communications with Bragg
army. Now his nearest railroad point il
Bristol, which is about the same distance
from Knoxville, as il is from Knoxville tC
Chattanooga. The latter is really the base o.
supplies for our Nashville forces, while Bristo
is Lougstreet's base. In this respect both
parties are about even, with the exception
that Lorgstreet commands the only valley
where forage is to be had. Whatever may be
the result of this last movement OF the enc
my, and we do not apprehend any thing very
serious, from the fact that formidable military
operations at this season are impracticable
but whatever may be the result, we say, it ID
apparent that the safety Of East Tennessee
and Kentucky, requires that Longstreet BE-
driven from that country at an carly day.
