Napoleon and Mexico.

1t is now well understood that Louis
Napoleon has for some time past had
secret treaty before the British Govern
ment, proposing an alliance on American
possessions. The two powers were to ie-
speetivcly guarantee to each other the
possessions Of Canada and of Mexico, but
the cautions Britogs were not disposed to
enter into the arrangement, evidently
thinking that if the Canadians wished to
leave they were welcome to go. IF Louis
Napoleon persists in supporting Maximll-
ian, he must do so on his own responsi-
bility, aud without any backing from
Queen Vietoria's Minister'S. Even the
diplomatic old King of the Belgians will
fail to eutangle Great Britain in any such
alliance
Bat it is not only the Mcxicans who
will trouble the French in that country
General Ortega and his son have not come
here on an idle mission and it will Got be
strange should they offer tempting induce
ments to the officers and men now being
discharged from the Union armies to join
the Mexicans in driving out Macmillan
and his French guards. Indeed it is no
secret here that engagements have already
been entered into that will insure the de-
parture, at no very distant day of some
of our best fighting men, who propose to
emigrate peacefully beyond the Rio Grand.

The Conspiracy.

Booth is now no more His head and

But, while he has been thus summarily
dealt with, how many of equal guilt still
remain unpunished? Over three hun
dred arrests have been made, thus far. -
Letter writers tell us that some twenty or
thirty Of these will have to pay the pen

The Arrest of Governor Aiken.
Special dispatch to the Pittsburgh Commercial
WASHINGTON. Nav I.

The mystery concerning the arrest of
Gov. Aiken is explained in part by the
fact that his friends have utterly failed to
show single act or word of his during
the war wherein he exhibited fidelity to
the Government or attachment to the
Union, notwithstanding the statements to
the contrary. Beside, there is good evi-
dence in possession of the Government
that Gov Aiken has been extensively en-
gagged in blockade running.
Some curiosity is exhibited to know
why the first official statement of Davis
completely in the assassination should
hNve emInated from the President. 1t
should be known that it was determined
in the first instance, in Cabinet counsel
that the trial of the assassination and con-
spiraoy matter should be turned over to
the military authorities and the testimo-
ny was put in charge of Judge Advocate
General Holt, who, upon thorough exam
ination, made his report duplicating Da-
Wis, not in direct completely with the as
sassins, but in knowledge of the plot
and It's inter ded execution. Upon this
report the President issued his procama-
tion. These trials, as VIC now understand
it, will commence tomorrow.

The history of Railroads show that the
stocks of those used for the carrying of
coal and heavy manufactures and products,
such as iron and oil, are the best paying,
and, therefore, require less exertion to Sc
cure the necessary capital. Let the North
Western Railroad be built, with the re-
quired branches to the various coal beds
along the route, and Butler and the sur-
rounding counties will be completely rev.
olutionized from its present quiet unac-
tive and unproductive condition, into the
stirring and prosperous life of mining and
manufacturing DISTRICTS.
Having spent few days lately in the
valleys and over the hills of this interest
ing region, it appeared matter of sur
prise that so little is khown of its great
mineral wealth by people abroad. Capt.
tai aud labor are certain of rich returns,
if judiciously applied, and it seems that
if one investigation of its resources com
menees, nothing can stay the tide of en-
terprise until these immense fields of min
eral wealth are fully explored. 1t is to be
hoped that systematic disclosure Of the
merits of the different localities of this
territory will soon be made BY practical
and experienced persons. and the subject
will receive the attention from the public
which its claims so richly deserve.
1t is understood that company, form
ed in Philadelphia, called the Butler and
Lawrence Coal and Oil Association have
leased and purchased large tracts of these
mineral lands, with the view of opening
the mines and searching TOR oil, and it is
to be desired that their investigations and
efforts may meet with abundant success.

thus prematurely came to light. Like
the rioters in New York, he recognized
them as his friends 1t was through
his influence, or inufence like his, that
the lesser lights of the party took up the
howl which they SO lavishly bestow-
ed upon our worthy chief magistrate of
atyrant," murderer" ''the destroyer of
our constitution, the enemy of the union"
&C. In this way was famed into life the
spirit that murdered that great aud good
man.
Now as we don't wish to see the severe
penalty visited upon the rank and file of
the Southern army which justice demands
shall be the lot of the leaders-neither
do we wish to see stern justice, unmin-
gled with mercy visited upon all those in
the north who by their vindictive con-
duet and language, educated the very ha-
tired which nerved the franzied assassin
to take the life of the in nocent. But we
do insist that something is due to an in
jured-a bleeding country. The least that
the honor and interest of the country
should accept in our opinion, would be
the expatriation of few of those arch
traitors at the north, whose influence was
so pregnent with evil to their country
In this lass ould come Seymour, PEN
dleton, Woodward Vallandigham, Eoor-
hees and number of others, the weight
of whose influence was so powerful agains
the cause of their country, To allow
such to remain in our midst is to trifle
With both Justice and honor They should
be required to join their southern breth-
ren-the southern leaders, ip some foreign
country at once. The country will be

Escacc once NEOre!

When We cast our eyes back but two
short months to the re- Inauguration of
President Lincoln, and examine the then
situation. with the Davis Government y
strongly fortified in the capitol they had
held for four long years-with another
strong army in the Carolinas, and still
another within the confines Of Alabama
and Neutrality-suspicious. with a
naughty and defiant air proclaiming their
ability to maintain their independence
and their military power indefinitely, and
then examine their present status, we can
scarcely believe our senses. Is it posi-
bic that that veteran army, with its
Z" great leader" have at last been COM
PEELED to give way-to fall back--to sur
render to the Union legions Nor are
the results of that great event less striking
than the event itself. Great battles had
been frequently fought before, and great
victories won, but no such decided results
attended them. The battles in the South
west in the spring of sixty three, the
battle of Gettysburg, the battle of the
Wilderness, and many others, were grand
indeed both in execution and results, but
the battle fought on the 30th and 3lst of
March and the 1st of April last, by that
veteran legion under Lieut.. Gen. Grant,
was the v aterloo of the war As we
have already remarked, when that move
ment commenced, the Sou thren chival-
ry (who had been starving and tortuFing
our prisoners in their hands, besides shoot
ing our pickets, and doing all other acts
consistent with the character of that ec-
waited class,) were still defiant, while
many OF the conservatives of the North
could not see that we were any nearer the
realization of our fond hopes of final vic
tory than when we first began. Now how
changed ? the army of Lee is gone-the
J VI c'iihSVvh iS S'hS' iiC NiioiS
rebel army is gone and there is every
reason to believe that there will be no oc-
casion to fire another gun. In short, the
war is over, and the rebel chiefs are flying
for their lives, while heavy rewards are
offered for their capture. The aristocracy
of Europe is shocked-the rebel sympa-
thiscrs at home are choptallen.-while the
loyal millions rejoice, and thank God
who hath given US the victory. Our
columns, we trust, will no more be filed
with long lists of fsaen braves in the flu.
ture. The work of reconstruction will
now begin in earnest, and we have little
doubt but that most if not all the rebllious
States will be represented in the next
Congress, Surely generations have passed
which have not furnished as much his
tory as the last two months.

Roeth's Diary of his Flight.
WAsnINGTON. ApriI Is.

Edwin Booth, Srother of the assassin,
arrived here to-day and has applied for
the body of his relative. There is some
doubt whether his request will be grant
ed. 1t is probable that the body will be
quietly inferred in some out of the way
spot, unknown to all save those who per-
form the disagreeable ceremony.
1t is reported that Harold has made
full confession of everything he knows
about the assassination plot.
Booths body, after being photograph
ed, was sswed up in an ordinary gray
blanket aud placed in a common pine col
fin, made of rough boards and unpainted
1t will probably be disposed of tonight
The legal Identification of the body of
the assassin took place and an autopsy of
the body was had. The shaving off of
the moustache, the out cropping of the
beard, the ultidy and disordered appear
ance of the body so changed his looks that
his stage and street acquaintanccs would
hardly have recognized the corpse as be-
ing that of j. Wilkes Booth There
were plenty of evidences to establish his
identity, however, amongst which was the
testimony of surgeon who once remov-
ed a tumor from Booth neck. The wound
when partially WELL broke out again, and
on finally healing left peculiar ridgy scar,
which was easily recognized by the sur
geon. An autopsy was held by Surgeon
Gen Barnes, who reports that death was
caused by ball from pistol Itappear-
ed that the spinal column was about half
cut in two by the buffet at about the third
or fourth joint from the the top of the YER
zebra.

The RespeotabilitY Of Treason.


It is not easy for paturalists TO deter
mine the difference between the lowest
type of man, and the highest type of the
animal-the distinction between Hot
tent0t and orangoutang. Aud it would
almost be as grave a problem to define
the dividing line (if such line is con-
ceivable) between loyalty and disloyalty.
Indeed there seems to be no social anti
pathy.
Treason has become, after four years of
damnable crime, less heinous than when
its monstrous proportions first darkened
our land. Men, consentionaiy loyal, who
would stand aloof from the touch of the
thief or robbcr, do not seruple to clasp
the bloody hand of treason ! Has this
civil war been mere friendly tourna-
ment--a national frolic, or has it been
vital struggle for the life aud honor
Of the nation, cost the blood Of halfa mill
ion of men, and incalculable treasure,
and planting the cypress at the home OF
almost every citizen 1t occurs to us
that a so-callcd Unionist who can give the
right hand of fellowship to a traitor, has
but little self.respect, aud that he de-
serves to be classed with the enemies of
the government. Do men who have been
thoroughly loyal from the inception of the
Southern ret ellion-those who have
"stood like the anvil" and covered nor
faltored beneath the ponierous b ows of
the hell born vulcan, have any affinity
with traitors? Do they make such their
partners in trade their boon companions,
their social friends and associates? No.
1t is proper for loyal men to manifest to-
wards them the courtesy which the for
NOR rules of poiitenecs requires, yet they
should not forget the fact that they are
traitors, aud that they deserve to be hung
or banished The temporising tcoula-
or-tgoald-not-Le Union man is easily rec
oguized, lie expresses but feeble cen
sure of those who have thrust at the hedrt
of the nation, but is earnest, industrious
and eloquent in ccnsure Of the benign
President of the United States, and those
in authority under his direction, and he
has no kind words of cheer and approba-
ton for tho brave sons cf freedom who
have gathered like the rain drops Of
the storm" from Maine to the far West,
and after four years of desperate contest
have given the death blow to treason.

The Rebel Leaders.
WAsHINGroN, MaY 8. 1SG

" AsHlNGFoN, May y, 1000.
We have further news to-day of the
absquatulation of Jeff. Davis and his co.
adjutors of the deceased rebel government.
SAM McCubben, well known in Batl-
more, and heretofore an irreconcllable
rebel, has returned to Richmond. He
was intrusted with the conduct of the
treasure OF the rebel Secretary Trenholm,
which had been reserved for an emer-
gency. He gives an account of many
adventurous incidents aud hairbreadth
escapes He left Jeff. Davis, Breekin-
ridge, BENJAMIN, Trenholm, Extra Billy
Smith, and other noted rebels at Greens-
boro, and made fast time to Richmond
upon hearing the rumor of the falling out
of the entire bottom of the Confederaey.
He says this choice body of fugitive
confederates remained three DAYS at
Greensboro on account of some railroad or
transportation construction; that they
ate, drank and slept in the cars, because
the citizens of Greensboro refused to allow
them to enter their houses, lest the federal
authorities might hold them (the citizens)
responsible for harboring rebels. His
account of the condition of this rebel
government party, disclosss an almost
forlorn and hopeless state Of alarm, and
vexation, and even deprivation, notwith-
standing their possession Of no inconsid-
erabe amount of treasure
At the time MeCubben parted with
this miserable caterie, they had but one
object in view, the persona safety of each.
Texas was the ostensble objective point,
but it was secretly limited that the coast
of Florida afforded the only means of
escape from capture by the Federal troops.
