 Tue interest of American people in Mexican affairs, has increased daily since the disbanding Of the Rebel armies and the visible approach of peace. The inducements to our young men to emigrate to that country for the purpose of taking part in it's present struggle are some what numerous and alluring. The occupation of this part of our continent by the French, has been source of constant irritation to us with whom ths Monroe doctrine is text of 1 sacred truth and the cause of Mexican Inde- pendence excites a great deal of honest enthu- siasm. A .-ss5 8-'z-- se atss A great mass of our people have acquired, within the past four years. g love for camp life and for military honors, that approaches an in- spiration. To such, the Mexican struggle for I Independence offers escape from the stupid avocations of peace, and chance of new mar tial honors. '' = ee Mexico is not bad country to fight for or to live in. Its climate is inviting and varied. Between it's seaboards and its lofty table lands are met the products and temperature of every zone. Its soil is voluptuous More than all, its mineral resources are rich and inexhaustible. Under the Spanish rule, the Mexican mines produced annually. twenty. three million dollars of silver and three thousand five hundred lbs. averdupois, in gold. A single family, that of Zagoaga, derived, from a small mine. in five months, $4, 100000, and Juan Flores, priest, got 8 500, 900 from potatoe patch. Hembolt says that when these superb countries enjoy perfect peace new metallic deposits will be dis. covered and developed. ss5 sa
 Another unquestionable. attraction are the pretty Mexican women, who are said to be even more beautiful than the dashing amazons of the late c. S. A., and are susceptible to the charms of the sterner sex. .ss-
 Opposed to these dazzling alluremsnts, are the demands and attractions of our own fair Hand. r z1,za1z

 An undivided country. susceptible to the cultivation of the most magnificent and proiita. ble harvests, opening to the hand of enterprise It's burden of mineral treasure, and already alive with the spirit of thrift and progress, is the most secure and inviting place in the world for honorable and patriotic ambition. bs9
 The military spirit of our people, when il comes to interfere with our national peace and industry, is thing to be deplored and diacour, aged. It's existence is fraught with National calamity and social corruption. i The feminine attractions of Mexico will effect lonly those who are beneath the confidence of American women. In fact, it has already transpired, that the men who are embarking in this expedition, are, for the most part, of had or doubtful character. As Gen. Rosecrans said in Boston last week a.;I saw. when in Washington, men willing te start something or other; men whose advancement hitherto has not been sufficient to gratify their ambition. But if you examine the names of those men, Itioned in the advertisements you will find there third-rate fellows. who are not worth a snap and that our common soldiers were worth a dozen of then" s,s. ss .5,..r..,.34 l5 s4saas.
 Finally: all the promised advantages of this enterprise are yet precarious The exhaustless mines, the spontaneous crops, and even the pretty Mexican lasses must be fought for and won. If France is in earnest and means to defend her dominion upon this continent, we may expect pretty hard struggle before it can be wrested from her. Meanwhile, oar own complications with her may be agrivated by the Indirect meddling of our people with her affairs
