NoFRmG has. been more agreeable. in

NoFHlNs has been more agreeable, in
the closing scenes of the war, than the ad-
vice uniformly given by the Generals to
their troops, that they return to the pur-
suits of peaceful life, and enjoy the bless.
ings which their ValOr has defended; and
that they refuse all overtures to draw them
into schemes of foreign adventure. Itwss
predicted by the enemies of free govern
ment and was apprehended by some. of it's
friends, that 9 great and victorious army
could not be safely disbanded, that men
accustomed to the camp would not return
to the quiet of agricuIturaland mechanical
business, but that some military employ
ment must be found for the restless spirit
that had been eugendered ID the four years
service. Aud the public favor With which
the scheme ofan armed emigration toMexicc
was received gave great force to the theory.
There was, moreover, natural apprehen-
sion that the government might not be un>
willing to see the French intermed ding
With this continent practically rebuked.-
But the good 'sense of the soldiers has been
proof against the seduction of foreign SER
vice, even in cause which commanded
their sympathy, and the frmness of the

eigu powers. The rickety throne of Max
imilian is left to fall down in it's own way,
aud in its own good time, without any aid
from us, and the French Emperor is left,
without any cause of irritation from us, to
contemplate at his leisure the success of
hisgtaud scheme for securing the ascend
aucy of the Latin race in America. With
equal compIacency the French people may
look upon their national debt, piled up to-
sustain a distant government against the
will of the people and against all the laws
of nature, and the blood of their children
poured ont upon a, foreign soil in the name
of the glory of France.

A Suspicious Steamer Disohargsd

NEw iYoRK, June 1Oth.-Advices from
Nassau stata. that the osss of theyBritish
steamship Mary, better known as the Alex
ander, was decided in the Nassau Admiral.
ty Court May 23d. The Mary was seized
on suspicion of being intended for a rebel
cruiser. A gun of novel construction,
packed in case, as dry goods and some
shells similarly packed, were found on
board, together with commissions in blanks
and other suspicious documents aud it
was testified that her fittings were more
suitable for ship of war than for a mer.
chant vessel. The defense was that the
vessel was intended for blockade runner.
Judge Doyle ruled that the case had not

pRIaoE NApo1RsoE b6s been troubliD

y =
PRIHoB EAPoLEoH has been troubling
the peace of mind of the Emperor's friends
by speech at Ajacoio, in Corsica. The
occasion of the speech was the erection OF
q monumeutto the memory of the frat
Napoleon and his brothers. The Prince
is said to have given free expression to his
weIl!known liberal ideas on many Euro
pean questions. on natiOnaliries, on the
Pope's temporal power, ,on:the emancipa.
ton of trades and commerce from old re.
strtctioas. He preferred that the Napo-
leonic ideas should make their conquests
not by the aid of the sword, but by peace
tul prOpagaudism. he showed that an al,
lance between France and the United
States was part of the old Napoleonic pol
icy, and indicated, it is reported, very
clearly that if he had the control of affsirs
he would not have French armies wasting
their forces in Mexico. he said:
''Let us pray for the pacifcatiou of the
American Uniont and let us not be misled
by those fallRcious arguments that would
transform q rebellion condemned by the
Law, and reason and considerations of ma.
terlhl interest-sust tanned indeed with cour-
age, but which was only the inexousable
struggle Of an aristocracy of a few thou.
sands Of men-owners in the name of sla.
very, against a constitution the'm lib.
eral and the most respected by the ruling
power that exists in this world" % .
1t becomes us to watch we'll and also to
esteem this Prince. He was formerly
thought to be dull. But he has more than
once shown in the French Senate that he
is match for the ablest debaters in that
body. He has been firm friend to US
through the war. he paid US visit, it
will be remembered, in the early part of
the war. he went back, thoroughly &C.
quainted with the nature of our struggle,
and convinced that we should triumph.
he has never failed to speak good word
for us when he'conld.

Irwas estimated by the Quartermaster
General, in his last annual report. that
there were in the service of the army about
1870 900 horses and 1sO. 1000 mules. The
supply of cavalry horses averaged about
500 a day, which was also the measure of
the destruction of these animals in service.
During the ftst eight months of the year
1864, the cavalry of the Potomac received
nearly 4o, 600 horses, and there were isaued
to the army Of General Sherman, through
the Nashville depot, between the lss Of
November, 1868, and the 18th OF Septem.
Der, 1854, 41,l22 horses.
Large sales of horses and mules are now
being made daily by the Government at
Washington. They are purchased by deal
era who will take them into country, and
soon urecOustruct" them into frst class am
i@als for the road or for agricultural pur-
poses.

cOursgiug the marriage of the negroes.
The General has even gone SO far as to re-
mind the clergy of their duties in this re-
spectl and does not hesitate TO tell them
that the Law of God, as well as the law
of man, requires the negroes who live to-
gether'as man and wife to marry. This,
of course, has given great shock to the
sensitive yirginiaus, who regard 1t as the
height of impudence, in negro, to imi-
tate the morality of white man, and the
height of presumption IN white man, es-
psotally Yankee, to recommend such an
innovation, upon the principles and trsdt.
tions of the patriarchal institution. The
New York Times significantly says:
"Itis noteworthy that while the church
les and mOralists of the South have for ages
winked at the enforced concubinsge of a
whole race, the Inauguration of this great
social reform should have been't the work
OF the military authoritiss."

THE author of "Life in Normandy" has
published at Edinburg book descriptive
of sojOurn among us during last year.
he was much more fav0rabiy impressed
with the Yankees than foreign tourists
generally are, and tells his countrymen
that they know but little of their virtues
and good traits of character. Speaking
of our soldiers, whom he visited, he Gays: :
The old hands are generally quiet, ST.
lent, courteous men, with the open, steady
eye and fixed gaze which men earn face
to face with death. The majority are old
hands, though young in years., they dress
the part ill., but they it we'll neverthe-
less; their clothes may be threRdbare, torn
and dirty, but they have the bearing of
gentlemen who are good soldiers. = It
The people at home are thus described
by him:
- The American people are to be found at
their own 6resides, or at their several oc-
cnpations, and, so far as an able to
judge, they are remarkably like people
with whom am accustomed to, consort at
home. l like them. i found no ill-feeliug
toward England among them; they did
not seem to dislike me. Unless snobs,
slaves, dollars and savagss set them by
the ears, see no reason why John Bull
should Dot live in peace with his family
of fighting giauts. II any one of them
forgets his psternal duty, the rest will back
the old 'uu, and he is not yet played out
for all that is come and gone.
In the closing chapter, he relates the
following incident of his stay in the me-
tropolts, though he informs the reader that
the hero of the performance must not be
taken as a representative of American
character. r
Tired and bored, went to bed in the
best marble palace in the place. My door

''but the hotel is very full, and am come
