says. ~
The Mexican question, in its bearings on the
relattone beiwte en- France and the United States,
is the G1cat question Of the moment and almost
the only one talked of on Change. When the
news Of the fall OF Charletton arrived lasl Satur-
day thele WIS regular panic at tho eourse, aud
the funds fell. So certain are most people tnst
1he end Of our war win br1ng complications ia
regard to Mexlco, lhat eyeTy one, whether friend
y to the North or to the South, now speak OF
the Enccesecs IL the Eniou arms as bad news
bad tecause 1t indicates war with France and
throws down the fnnds.''
Many of the French journals advise the
abandonment Of the Mexican proteetorate
rather than risk war with the "grand Re.
public" It is felt by every Frenchman that
the Monroe doctrine has been violated, and
when the civil Aar is ended the American
people will demand its vindlcatlon. Hence
each new snccess Of the Union arms Is re-
carded as "bad .nexs'' for Napoleon's pet
scheme Of converting Mexico into French
satInpy.

= NEGRO SohDIERS IN DIXIE.
After q great deal Of exertlon 1t appears
tIAL the rebel government hare succeeded IN

i
Alter q great deal of exertlon it appears
that the rebel government hare succeeded IN
drumming up two companies Of negro SOL
dicrs from Richmond and the surrounding
country, and that they have been exhibited
on parade in that city minus their uniforms,
Tie appearance, We learn from tn. Rich.
mond papers, was crcditable. Il Is not stated.
however, that 1t was formidable. :; jetf.
Davis, in his recent lecture to the rebel Con-
.gress, bewsiled the fact that the passage of the
bill for arming negroes had been SO long de-
laycd that Its usefulness had been greatly In
paired. The Senate rrtortcd that Dar ris him
self had never recommended them to
pass any such bill, but his testimony
is none The less significant. The
whole scheme for turning the slave popula-
ton into fighting population for the benefit
Of the slave Confederacy is destined to come
to noueht- Not only w4s 1t too long delayed.
to be Of any service, but 1t was not enacted in
the way to be of any benefit. Az 1t does not
give freedom to the slave soldiers, but ex-
p1essly provides that they shall be handed
hack at the end Of the war. the negro has no
incentive to fight, but every Incentive to
Keep out OF the army, or to desert If forced
into It. Ii he remains at home he has
slavery for his portion. II be enless the army
he has slavery with the prospect Of death or
wounds in addition. Bnt though the negroes
were ever 80 anxious to enter tue rebel service.
tue people ofthe Gulf states, where the bulk Of
the slave population exists, are exceedingly
ave1se TO the negro ar1n'ng bill and cannot be
expected to give any eff cttve support to the
officers designated to recruit in their cotton
and corn-9elds. Moreover, If both masters
and slavcsV Ve.e eager to carry out the proyi-
sions Of the bill, there would not be sufficient
time to get the new slave regiments into tho
field to exercise any influence ON the decisive
campaign now in progress.
The experiment, therefore, is simply 6esd
failure. When 1t was talked Of six months
ago, many people in the North saw, in imagi-
nation, halfa million Of negro troops con-
fronting rs at Richmond, Charleston aud Mo-
bile A vision of this sort delishted,the imas,
tnation Of The Confederate organ In this city.
The result is what might hnve been expected
from the tmpiety Of the attempt to make
Slaves fight for slavery. Such proposition
is in cQnfict with the laws By which God
governs the universe, and 1t cannot be carried
into effect.

B Mr. Garrison, in the LDsrdtor Of last
week, says he has concluded to discontinue
that journal ct the close Of the present year,
which will couF4ete the present volume. It
seems to him historically fitting that the Lio-
erutor should cover the whole period Of the
struggle against slavery, and should termi-
nate with its extinction. If any man In our
times can congratulate himself on having
fought good fight, that man is Mr.. Gard
son.~ Since the war began he has shown that
the tenacity, Intensity, and intrep!dity Of the
reformer can be combined with the modern
tion of the statesman.

The Washington correspondent Of the New
York World hints at the probable rejection
of NJ. dc Montlolon as Minister to this coun-
try. The reasons for his rejection arc, first,
that be. comes direct from the Court Of Maxi
milliau to this country; second, on account
Of his residence, as Consul Of France, at
Richmond, where, it is stated, he imoibed
secession doctrines, and formed acquaint-
anccs which have led him to sympathlxe
with the rebels and the rebellion. Another
objection is that year has not elapsed since
the Count left New York, where he had been.
filing the position Of Consul, and that his
return to this conutry. after So short space
Of time, is an unprecedented fact in the his
tory Of diplomacy. These, the Horld says,
are Republican objections to n. de Montho-
Ion. What authority and information that
journal has on which to base its statement
We know not, but it should be received with
o large degree of doubt,
