Wis has the game i'll his own hands, and
can secure the independence of the South,

this startling mystery is found in state
ments freely credited in America, that the
Mexican Emperor has conveyed in trust
to Napoleon the northern portions OF
Mexico, to be held and administered by
French Viceroy in liquidation of French
claims on Mexico. This cession must en-
tail the recognition of the South by France,

sherman Prepared for Him If Inc

New YORK, February 2S.-The Times
Washington special claims to have accu-
rate information as to what rebel force
can be brought against Sherman. Beau
regard superseded Hardee, when that
General left Savannah and took his force
amounting TO 5000 effective men, while
Hardee went to Charleston, where there
were not over two brigades. These have
since probably joined Beauregard at Will
mlngton. Bragg had not exceeding 6,OOC
men-probably Hokes' division. These
have fallen back towards Goldsboro-be-
tween Wilmington and Weldon. General
Baker had a brigade of not over 5000
strong at Salisbury; about two regiment:
were stationed guarding prisoners. The
entire force, therefore, that Beauregard
could concentrate, would not exceed
$4,000. He has cavalry sufficient to swell
his force to 10000 men. If Sherman
forms junction with Scho6eld, as he un-
doubleday will, it is safe to say his force
will be far superior to Beauregard's con-
centrated strength, and all id.he may get
from Richmond.
