ssexfco the MOSCOW " Napoleon III.
The termination of orr great war promises
to bring about events That will-recall to mind
very forcbly that grand blunder in the career
Of the first Napoleon, the campaign to Moscow.
Recent reports represent that the French
government Is making preparations to send to
Mexico, as tie necessity may arise, body Of
eighty thousand troops. II will want them al,
and more: for what the diseases of the country
do not Kill will hardly escape the Mexicans.
reinforced, as they will be, by emigrants.
Migration towards Mexico already assumes
proportions that have not been equalled by any
similar movement Of tho people since the great
exodus to California in 1850; but the present
is a migration that is likely to be of another
character from that.
At the time the last battles were fought the
United States had in service about seven hun
dred thousand soldiers. The rebels at the
same time had. everywhere, one hundred and
fifty thousand men; and there were in the
Southern States, on the computation Of Davis,
three hundred thousand men that had formerly
been in the rebel army but had deserted it
eleven hundred and fifty thousand men in all.
There will be retained in the United States SER
and thus there will be suddenly put ont Of en-
ployment and thrown upon society about one
million men trained to war. To these men there
is suddenly opcneda channel for employment
field for new adventure and for the pursuit
Of the career that they have become attached
b Of n full III
ward for service. Hundreds Of thousands will
avail Themselves of this opportunity. The
Southern soldiers will take it up even more
eagerly than the Northern ones, as the romantic
love of adventure is stronger in them, and as
also It will be more difficult for them to md
peaceful employment The Mexican army
of liberty will be abundantly Differed by
that large number of Southern men who have
"nothing Left but their swords" Sixty thou
sand such soldiers as fought the battle Of Get
tysburg on either side will not only annihilate
any eighty thousand FrcRchmen ever seen, but
they will beat out of Mexico every man that
France can put in it.
We will declare neutrality" between the
two sides. Mexican loans will be negotiated
in New York just as Confederate loans were in
London and Paris; and if the republicans Of
Mexico wish to Gil the seas with privateers
against French commerce they can buy ships
in our cities. And then, with French commerce
driven from the seas, with the French troops,
army after army, beaten out of Mexico, what
will be The position of Louis Napoleon at home
in Europe? 1t will be Just the position of the
first Napoleon after the Russian campaign.

ConpoRATToN SUrTs.--The letter of George
Shea, Esq, to the Common Council throws con-
siderable light upon the administration of that
Office. He does not pretend TO speak in refer
ence to his predecessors, but in regard to his
own course his statements are concise. plain
and straightforward. lie starts with the direct
proposition that the prosecutions under the
ordinances of the city are not to be source of
revenue, but strictly one Of correction and
discipline" He also shows that whenever
suit is commenced against person for violat-
ing an ordinance there is no need of his en-
ploying lawyer. All that the party offending
has to do is to call at his Office, and upon q
statement Of the case and compliance with the
requirements of tho law the penalty will be re-
mitted, unless no is an old and ncorrigible
offender.
Mr.. Shea defines clearly the mode of pro-
ccdure in all cases, showing very conclusively
that as now conducted everything is straight
forward and that with none but those who
wilfuIly violate the laws of the city, either as
regards distractions on The sidewalks and
streets or neglect to comply with the license
law, can trouble possibly arise. The facts
stated in reference to dealers in second
hand articles not keeping books Of record, and

The conduct of Governor Vance. of North Caro-

ran away, and from an obscure corner of the

The NatIonoI Bank0.
From the National IntOIligencer.


The National Bank system may now be
considered as fully established; and as it
will have power to perpetuate itself, it
must be looked 1pou as permanent in
stitutiou. It provides we'll, as a substitute
for the local banke, which have always
failed us in time of commercial Ievulsions
1t would have been we'll if the national
system could have been tried in time of
peace At home and abroad, or before specie
payments were necessarily suspended, by
the Government ae we'll 8s the State banks
Whether, If in existence at the beginning
of this war, it could have sustained the
Government in an efJrt to carry on the
war with specie as the basis of the curren
cy is a doubtful question. We will have
occasion, however, after the close of the
war, to ascertain whether it can render its
bills convertible ieto specie in period of
peace and prosperous commerce. One
thing is certain, that the country will not
suffer, as it has done formerly, from spu-
rious local bank currency, which was
worse than the mor6u8 numericus which af.
ficted States in the form of spurious coin.
The late Congress has completed the de-
struction of the local banks by imposing a
tax of ten per cent. upon their issues. They
are allowed, however, till July, 1866, to
that day-and, indeed, long before it
they will either wind up or organize upon
the national basis

It is plain that there is to be no bank
