The Proposed Withdrawal of the French
Troops From Mexico.

Troops From Mexico.
1t appears from our French advices that
there is q strong pressure in France upon the
government at this moment for the withdraw
al of its troops from Mexico; and that it has
got to be generally understood there that if the
troops be Withdrawn, the United States will in
no way interfere with the experiment Of CIV
ilizing" that country; but that so long as the
French flag remains in Mexico so long will the
United States feel hostile to France and to the
civilizing' experiment This" writes our
Paris correspondent, lis in direct contradiction
to the ideas which the French Government
and the partisans Of the Mexican expedition
have always urged that is to say, they have
always put forward the idea that so long as the
French flag remained in Mexico the Amer
leans would be afraid to interfere for fear of
war with France, and that if the flag were re-
moved, Maximilian would be attacked at once
! The difference, he continues, is a most i'm
portant one, and if it could be made to enter
! into the pans of the American Government to
publicly announce their policy III this respect,
so that the French people could be sure OF the
fact, the pressure Of public opinion would soon
bring about the evacuation OF Mexico and the
trial of the Empire ON its own merits.
1t is conceived now that the United States
would not interfere in Mexico, adversely to I'M
perialism if once the French troops were with
drawn from its sOil-that it is only the presence
Of foreign army that is annoying to the
! AmericanS-that they would be willing to let
| Maximilian remain Oh his imperial throne, II
able to do 50 by his own power, or by what
Mexican help he may rccelve--and that thus
all danger of complications with this country
which could nure neither to the profit nor glO-
ry of France, would be avoided. There may
really be something in this. We are certainly
not anxious to 90 to war on behalf of Juarez.
1t certainly is the presence in Mexico or for
cign mcrcenaries upholdlng alien interests that
is the most annoying circumstance in the whole
matter to the American people. 1t is by no
means impossible that if the French troops
were withdrawn this country would cease to
trouble itself about Maximilian, and would
permit him to retain his power, SO far as it is
concerned.
We should certainly like to see the French
Emperor try this line Of action. We should
like if he would permit MaXimilian to settle
his own fortunes, with the aid Of the Mexican
people. We think the assurance might be
given on our behalf, that he would not be in
tertered with by this country, for year at
least.
The French Emperor will have to adopt this
course some time or other. lie cannot re-
tain an army OF occupation in Mexico forever.
He can withdraw it at this time with less loss
/ to himself than he will be able to do at any flu
turc time, and with equal honor. He has
done enough for Macmillan, and too much
for Mexico. Let him now follow the excellent
advice given him by some of his own counsel
lors, and thus get out of an uncomfortable
position at once.-N \. Times.

A proposition has been laid before the Gov
ernor of Mississippi for shortening the river
between Cairo and New Orleans The projec-
tor claims that the distance can be reduced
from POO to 900 miles. The current would
be increased onc-fourth. A part ofthis scheme
is to dam up Red River so as to throw its wa
tcrs into the Atchatalaya and Berwlck's Bay.
Not to damage the commerce OF New Orleans,
an iron lock would be placed in the dam, so a:
to let boats into and out Of the Mississippi

ADDRESSES OF THE GovERNoRs OF SOUTH
CARoLINA.-Thc Inauguration of James l..
Orr as tho first Governor of South Carolina
ever elected BY the people Of that State, was
attended with great ceremony at Columbia on
the lst instant. Provisional Governor Perry
delivered farewell address to the legislature
on the occasion, and declared as the represen-
tative Of the Federal government in South
Carolina, that the State has done enough to
enttle her to be received back as a member of
the Union. He further declared that he knew
the President of the United States desires to
relieve South Carolina Of military rule, and to
see her representative once moro seated in tho
councils Of the nation, asserting that Congress
could not exclude her delegates by the test
oath, because Congressman are not officers of
the Federal government. The address of Gov
ernor Orr upon taking the oath was eulogistic
of President JohnsonTs clemency and policy,
and urgent upon the people to devote them
selves to the development of their resources,
manufactures and other industrial pursuits
