accumulation Of landed property in tho hands
of the Church. its exemption from taxation, and
the immense influence which the Church OF
Mexico, in consequence Of her wealth, has &C
quired 10 political affairs, are the chief causes
which have prevented the progress of the com-

We give Macmillan credit for showing much
common sense in resting his hopes for the per-
petuation of bis reign entirely upon reformatory
measures intended to develop the material re-
sources of tho country. The improvement OF
the public roads and the construction OF rail-
roads seem especially to engage the attention
of the Emperor. The Vera Cruz and Mexico
Railroad Company has been compelled to en-
gage to finish the road within four years. The
projected railroad of Chalco has al.
ready moro than six thousand share
holders, and tho necessary preparations for the
roads from GuanajuatO to Queretaro, and from
Zacatecas to Aguas Calientes, have been COM
menced by engineers. New discoveries have
recently been made of btuminous coal and OF
petroleum, and several foreign capitalists have
been induced to invest money in the working OF
Mexican mines.
The important subject of foreign immigration
and colonization has also been taken into serious
consideration; and agents have been sent over
to Germany TO recommend to the German emf.
grants the peculiar advantages of settlement
in Mexico. Some have accepted this invita-
ton, and even in our country some Germans
have allowed themselves TO be misled by the
promises which were held out to them. The
experience, however, of the first cmigrants Is IN
the highest degree discouraging. No prep~-
atoms have been made for them, and
they find that laborers cannot procure there
employment so profitable or constant as IN the
United States. They naturally regret the hasiy
step which they have taken, and issue warm
ing to their countrymen not to think Of emigTat'
ing to Mexico.
Whether Macmillan will be able to maintain
himself on this usurped throne is still question,
but every impulse which he gives to tho trade
and material progress of the country will be 10
its advantage, however that question may be
decided

MEXICO.

The Catholic papers Of Paris publish long
letter from the Pope, dated the Vatican. Oct.
Is, 1864, and addressed 10 the Emperor Max
imilian Of Mexico, pointing out the course OF
conduct the Pope conceives the new monarch
ought to follow with respect to the reorganisa-
ton OF his Government. In the opinion Of the
Pope, it is especially necessary that " the
Catholic religion must, above all things, con-
time TO be the glory and the manstay Of the
Mexican nation, to the exclusion Of every other
dissenting worship"
Macmillan seems not to have been convinced
| by this admonition for he has since taken steps
toward introducing religious liberation and the
legalization of the sale Of the Church Ssr00pc.v;
which has filled the Church party with the
utmost Indignation. Semi-official papers OF
France state that one Mexican general who il
strongly attached to the interests Of tho Church
party has left the Imperial army in order to
make promnneiamenso, and, according TO the
Independence Beige, the King Of Belgium has
received letters from his daughter, the Empress
| of Mexico, informing him that she had had ia
endure the most insulting language from the
Archbishop Of Mexico. and that the Archbishop
was ordered out of her presence. -,~.L
Whether this last item of Mexican gossip be
true or not, the complete rupture between Maxi
milan and the ultra-clerical party is a well
authenticated fact. Long before his name wa
mentioned in connection with the establishment
of Mexican Empire, Macmillan had the rspu.
tation of not being partisan Of the medieval
church theories which the Court Of Rome is still
bent upon defending and reintroducing into
modern society. But even if his personal views
had been different, it would have been difficult,
if not impossible, for any Emperor Of
Mexico to pursue any other policy. The

THE LAST MURDER.

There is but one probable theory o. the daily
railroad murders, and that is that the companies
have combined and conlederated together tC
cause so many accidents" and to make
slaughter by rail so common, that the public
shall become eallous and utterly indifferent tC
the occurrence Of these frightful disasters
Yesterday it was the Camden and Amboy which
undertook to perform lis part in this hideou'
conspiracy, and it did its work with character
istic disregard Of consequences.
This last was no case of rotten sleepers OF
worn out rails OF fractured wheels. but col
lsion without one shadow Of excuse In any
single circumstance. Tho midnight truin frou
Philadelphia was detained at Bristol, N. j..
about o'clock yesterday morning by another
delay Of freight train. 1t waited in the dark
without a light until the Washington train
came along the curve, and Numbered in
upon it, There was no precauiion Of
any kind whatever for the protection Of this
waiting train, although the conductor OF II
must have known that another train was close
upon him. But neither telegraph, nor signal
ll::.sht, nor anything else was used-and the
crash came.
The accounts say that the approaching train
ran into the waiting train with such force a.
literally to run through the two rear cars, leav-
ing them nothing but shells, and leaving no
passenger in either ofthem alive and unnamed.
The force of the collision then threw the APP
preaching cars two hundred feet Jaekrard-the
wreck all before them in CHASTITY view. Our
own informant, who was himself injured, saw
four men lying dead, four others dying, and
nearly thirty grievously wounded.
This is q murder for which the law ought to
hang somebody, but the law will not. The law
failing. other means may yet come to be tried.
for We notify the corporations who are parties
to this murderous confederation that the public,
dinstead Of growing callous, is growing savage.
and there is a growing conviction that some
remedy should be found TO keep railroads in iii
repair, or insure the establishment OF, and Obe
;ence TO, such regulations ss are necessa airy for
the safety Of passengers.

THE WAR NEWS.

The news from Gen. Sherman continues OF
the most vague and unsatisfactory character
The last steamer from Wilmington has no better
intelligence than that nothing Of the move.
mcnts Of Gen. Sherman was known in Whining
ton," and his reported junction with Schofield
wholly fails of confirmation. From the Rich
mond papers we get absolutely nothing-whlch
is probably all they have to give. letter is
reported at Philadelphia to have been received
at Washington from Wilmington Announcing
that Gen. Sherman's advance entered North
Carolina more than two weeks ago, and that
Sherman himself was at Camden, 5. u, on
the 2sth February. But that amounts to little
and besides comes through Philadelphia, the
great mother of false intelligence, windy rumors
and sidewalk stories. This only do we certainly
knoW-tbat Gen. Sherman was at Columbia on
the 18th day of February last, and that his
movements since that date are lost IN obscurty.
1t is tolerably clear that he did not advance
upon Charlotte, where the fugsciouS Beaure-
gard expected him, and tolerably clear that he
did move toward Fayetteville, the other direct
route to Raleigh, but one also admitting OF
march to the coast should that e1pedient be
found necessary.
An official account is furnished Of the capture
of Georgetown, S. c., by the forces under com.
mand of Admiral Dahlgren. There was no re-
sstance whatever. The Admiral speaks OF
opening communication with Gen. Sherman, aud
a subordinate officer supplies him with report
that Gen. Sherman is said to be some twelve
miles Off" But we conceive this to be wholly
an error. 1t is at any rate inconsistent with
the theory that he is moving upon Fayetteville,
for no part of his army could in that event have
any business so far down on the coast as George
town. Dahlgren's impressions cannot DO al
lowed to 90 for much against the probabilities
Of the case, and the evidence pointing to a
steady, though apparently slow, advance into
North Carolina.
There is still no further news from Cen,
Sheridan. Should it turn out that the reported
capture Of Early and Of Charlottesville bad no
foundation in fact, the public will be curious to
see the unmutilated text Of the dispatches from
Gen. Grant, portions of which were oblgingly
communicated by Secretary Stanton in season
for the celebration on Monday. The nearest
approach TO confirmation Of the story will be
found in report from HancOck's headquarters
at Winchester that Sheridan had defeated but
not captured-Early. Both are reports only,
thus far. We have no doubt that Sheridan Is
at work, and that if he has not fought battle,
he has done something better and is well on
his way toward Lynchburg, or whatever other
point he aimed at-but We should like to sec the
dispatches.
