Of the Mexican troops, has reached Santa
Fe on his way to Washington. His OBJ
jert, it's presumed, is to confer with the
Washington authorities concerning Mex
lear affairs. lie is Offering large boun-
tics to American volunteers, and he will
doubtless be joined by thousands of our
soldiers after the rebellion is suppressed.
Here, we tpprehend, will be finished the
solution to the Maximilian complication
OF our continental politics. Both North
ern and Southern soldiers will hurry to
the support Of the national standard Of
Mexico. The Army of the Republic
will thus be So strengthened as to expei
Macmillan and restore the Republic.
/ While our own Government will not par
.ticipate directly or indirectly in this part
of the contest, it will recognize at once
the new order of things officially, 50 soon
as tho Republic shall be re-established
It will reaffirm the Monroe Doctrine, and
employ, if it be necessary, the whole
power of the nation to enforce it preserve
the Independence of our sister Republic
The question of the absorption of Mexi

races OF wars desolation 10 our land an,

Say The telegraph reports that the
rebel General Lee is about to lionize in
the city of New York. No doubt be will
be heartily welcomed to that municipali-
ty, and If he is not too modest to accept,
we think it highly probable that the Sc
ccsh City Council of New York will give
him public dinner and the freedom Of
the city. There is no place in the South
where he would be more highly honored
than in the city Of New York, and the
popularity Of Little Mac will pale and
wane in the presence of this live rebe
General.

fallen bloody sacrifice to the ambition
and treason Of The conspirators who have
been guilty of the highest crime known
to modern history and the law of our land.
If the leaders of this rebellion are to es-
