Men Without a Country.

BY the law of Mexico, foreigner
coming into that country is required,
within fifteen days, to "matriculate," to
enter his name, a description of his per-
son, his avocation and his nationality,
in book kept in the geteturd for that
purpose. After this is done, and not
before, he is deemed to be under the pro-
lection of the law; he can sue or defend
i'm the CO is of the country. This pro-
vision of the law Is in force in such parts
of Mexico as are under the Imperial
sway, as well as in those regions which
acknowledge and maintain the republic.
The influx of fugitive insurgents from
the United States in Mexico, now gives
it special Importance. How were kir-
by Smith, Bee, Shelby, Murrah and a
host of Others who h ave stampeded and
fled across the Rio Rralde with their
money, matriculated They could not
enter themselves as citizens of the Uni
ted States, because in case they should
get into trouble every consular officer IN
Mexico and every military officer on
them protection. No one, from an IN,
surrent State, could invoke their AID
without first taking the oath prescribed
by the amnesty proclamation. Hence,
as neither Macmillan nor Juarez nave
ever acknowledged the so-called "Con-
federate States,n and they could not
avoid matriculating in general, they
have entered themselves as citizens of
some particular State, and, as individual
States are not known TO and recognized
Inv any foreign government, have in eff
feet caused themselves to be registered
as men without a country.
Such being the case, they are liz most
precarious and unfortunate predicament.
Mexico is in state of war. Every town
i'm the northeastern portion of her terri
tory has, within the last few months.
been alternately occupied by the forces
of Macmillan and Juarez, and the con-
test is yet going on. Suppose that an
Imperial general takes one and levies a
prestamo, or forced loan, of fifty per
cent, upon all of these men without a
country, and the next week Republic
can general retales it, andlevies forced
loan for an equal amount on the same
class and upon none others, what would
be their remedy, and to whom could they
apply for redress? Evidently they could
do nothing. They could not, with the
slightest prospect of success, call upon
the consuls or ministers of any foreign
government to intervene in their behalf,
for all foreign governments seem Of late
to have agreed in only one thing-in not
recognizing the so-called Confederate
States.
Poor fellows! They now begin to real
ize some .of the frightful Disadvantages
of being men without country. EnVi-
roned by warlke operations, in Whicn
they aim to take no part, they are llaoie
to be robbed without having the rightto
prosecute, to be swindled without nav
ing the right to sue or deiend, 10 nave
their persons conscIrpted without re-
dress. Unlike all other foreigners, tney
are tolerated rather than protected. h LOW
nos;tion and what they will try to do to
mitigate it, remains yet to be seen.-Ne0

WHAT HE SAY WHILE CROSSING THE OCEAN.

Rev. I.otert Collyer, the well known
| Unitarian clergyman of Chicago, is in
Europe. In q letter to the Chicago
Tribune he thus describes the sights he
saw at sea:
"Our company is as queer a medley
as ever was seen. We are Americans,
English, Scotch, Irish, French, Span
lard, German, Hollander, Peruvian and
Jew. / sit at the table with a rebel
officer; ever so many women who went

Eastern Railroad; the son of bishop !;
French actress; and lady whose hus-
band had made money out of the war
generous man no doubt, for she wears
a brooch as big as a saucer, with rings,
bracelets and chains to match-while all
about us are few blockade runners,
college professors, school marms, bag
men, and last but not least, a genuine
English squire, who has been over to
America to find some sport, went as far
as Louisville, and then turned back in
disgust, declaring that the Americans
know nothing about game; but we tell
him his prince thought otherwise, that
he did not go to our preserves, the pra-
ries, plains and boys, of the West. The
old man is disguised, however, with
other things beside American sport He
wanted TO 90 South before the surrender
of Lee, but we would not let him; and
the other day when some one at the
table hoped we might see the Great
Eastern laying the Atlantic cable, he
cried: don't want to see her; like
none of your telegraphs if they we're
all at the bottom of the Red Sea, and

brought them in to grace our meeting,
toasted the Queen, the President the
Day, the Army and Navy, and the
Church, had speeches, sang the national
anthem, the Star-Spangled Banner, the
Battle Cry of Freedom, and then, last
of all, and with wet eyes, stood up in
silence and gave the memory of oul

ever, being hoisted first, there were some
Kisses and few voices called out to cut
it down. Whereupon Mr.. Archibald

On board from the wharf, ran up the
tigging like a sailor, and cut down the
flag. The boat, meantime, was leaving
the wharf, and the only way he had OF

by DR.. Holmes was read:
A TOAST TO THE vICEADMIRAL.
IvEN IN THE CABIN OF THE "UNIoS CLUB July g. 1861
by OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES
Now gallant friends and shipnates all,
Since half our battles won,
broadside for our Admiral
Load every crystal gum
Stand ready till give the word
You won have time to tire
And when that glorious name is heard,
Then let the maindeck fire
Bow foremost sinks the rebel craft,
Our eyes not sadly urn
And see the pirates budding aft
10 drop their raft asern
Soon Yer the sea-wOrms destined prey
The lifted wave shall close
Sol perish from the lace ofday
All Freedoms banded foesl
But ali what splendors fire the sky
What glores greet the morn
The storm-tost banner streams ON high,
Its heavenly hues new born
Its red fresh dyed in heroes blood
Its peaceful white more pure
To float unstained DER field and flood
While earth and seas endure!
All shapes that feel the living blast
Must glide from mortal view
Black roll the pillows Of the past
Behind the presents blue.
Fast, fast are lessening in the light
The names of high renown--
Van Tromps proud bosom pales from sight
Old Benbows half hull down
Scarce one tall irigate walks the
Or skirts the safer shores
OF all that bore to victory
Our stout old Commodores
Hull, cambridge, Portcr--whero are they?
The answering pillows roll
Still bright In meniory's sunset ray
God rest each gallant soul!
brighter name must dim their light
With more than noon-tido ray
The Viking OF the River Fight,
The coDqueror OF the Bay!
Shape not Tor him the marble form,
Let never bronze be cast,
But see him through the batte-storu,
Lashed 10 his flag shp's mast.

With grape well loaded down
