TDIAL OF EMERSON EGlIERlpGE The Mil
itary Commission which tried Emerson Eth
eridge, for uttering, treasonable, disloyal and
rebellious language, acquitted him. Maj
Gen. Thomas, disapproved the findings and
sentence Of the Commission, on the ground
that they were not in accordance with the
evidence, which clearly establishes the guilt of
the accused and censured the Commission
for closing the case before the whole evidence
fer the prosecution was heard, but cas- the
state Of society in West Tennessee does not
require that further action should be taken
in this case, or that further restraint should
be placed upon the accused" he declines to
reconvene the Commission, for the reconsid-
GRAFTON Of its findings, and ordered Emerson
Etheridge to be Immediately released from
bis parole and set at liberty.

4 fairs between this country and France
"A in regard to Mexico, are assuming ra-
thcr threatening aspect. The recent ap-
pointment Of Gen. Jno. A. Logan, as Min
lister to the Mexican Republic. savors very
much of an impending difficulty. Gen. Lo-
gan is reported to have said that be would
accept the appointment if the Government
would order &c, 900 armed men to accompa-
ny him to the capital of that country It
is certain however that his sentiments are
averse to Maxmilian's holding Mexico, for
but a short time since, he expressed himself
in public speech, as follows:
So fer as / am concerned, believe that
Macmillan in holding Mexico to-day is part
and parcel of the rebellion against this Gov
ernment. Cheers. $; That was Il part
of the rebellion; it is part Of it to-day, and
the government Of the United Statea has on
ly to say to Macmillan: Sir, you must
pack UP your duds and travel" Laughter
ending In another tremendous outburst of
cheering. The government has not sup
pressed the rebellion until it does this
- That's So l. for one. don't propose to
give that State to Macmillan /, fer one,
Am in favor Of our government saying to
him: q You We're induced by this rebellion
to take possession Of that country, and to at
tempt to establish yourself there [ will not
permit you to stay there; you must get out
Of that country, and leave ii to ita people y
Cheers.
His appointment after the uttcrance of this
sentiment seems ominous, but taken in con-
nection with the remark recently made BY
Sen. Grant, that ID the deIiverance of Mex
leo, lac desired TO be g counted in, is quite
significant. Gen. Grant, Cen Logan and
doubtless the authorities are of the same opin-
ion, aod wsf with France may be but short
time eff. IS far as we in the South are con-
cerned, we want no more wars-wc have had
quite enough of war, and hope the matter
may be settled without resort to active hos
Titles, but regardless Of oar wishes we can
not fail to see the war-cioud looming up

MEXICO. The latest news from Mexico is
that Juarez is reported as having Left FL Pas.
Uc was said to be i'll Texas on his way to
piedras Nceras. The United States troops,
stationed near the Rio Grandc, ware reported
moving nearer that river, apparently with
hostile designs. Two Liberal Generals and
three Colonies were reported as being shot
by order Of all Impelialist Colonel into whose
hands they had fallen.
It is also reported that Gen P;,lacios had
ordered ali the French, Austrian and Relgi-
an prisoners held by him to be shot, in retail
iation for the execution Of Liberal officers.
The Liberals have raised the seiee Of iIata-
moras and have gone none know whittier -
It was supposed to be teint TO capture the
city.
Macmillan is reported to have with
drawn his forces from the ont posts and con-
ceIltra;t.sl them at Vera Cruz, Gan Luis potosi
and the City Of Mexico to await reinforce
nents Its also reported that q late fight,
the Liberal Generals pinsa and GaIinda
were killed and Cortinas and liinajosa and

were badly cut Up. Other reports say the
Liberals have increased to such IN extent as
to compel tilc Impcralists to abandon Cbii,ua-
hua and fall back on Durango.

W. hat mortal man ever suffered in this
w world but was consoled by the tender.

w hat mortal man ever suffered in this
w world but was consoled by the tender,
angelic sympathy Of woman? TO the poor,
the unfortunate, the sick, the manned, the
imprisoned and the hungry, ii is her proud
pleasure to minister, and to extend her COM
forting sympathy. In 10 greater degree do
we see this exempli6ed than in the many
heart stirring appeals which go up to the
Nations Chief Magistrate, in behalf Of The
Nations captive, Jefferson Davis.
This would not serve as a general exam
pie Of the holy and humane tenderness CT
woman, if these appeals were made in his ia
vor alone by the women of the South of whose
Fathers, Brothers, Husbands and Sons, be
stands the great representative, whom they
unanimously chose to rule them, and in whose
one person they are all to be tried, but who
alone must suffer the penalty, if punishment
is to be dealt any, but from the North as
well as South do the appeals fer leniency to
the great captive roll up.
How great is the contrast between the
prayers Of these angels of mercy and human
ity, and the resolution of one Mr. Trimble
offered in the Tennessee Senate on Monday
the l4th inst, which closes thus;
That for their bad eminence and great
crimes against their fellow men and the Uni
ted States, Jefferson Davis and his accom-
plices have Justly forfeited their lives, and
deserve and ought to suffer the extreme pen
atty of the law"
Mr.. Trimble may be jealous Union man,
but the question naturally arises in our
mind did he show his zeal by shouldering his
arms and going forth, with the many men of
the North, to punish in the hostile conflict
Jefferson Davis and bis accomplices, Or does
he put off the exhibition Of bis vlndictive zeal
until the captive is secured and he can cause
public opinion to do the work he dared not
do. The Soldiers who fought, and bled, for
the preservation Of the Union, express no such
sentiments. They deeply regret that so much
precious blood was spilled on both sides
They honor the appellants for mercy to JEFF
ferson Davis, and would, if III their power
extend a magnanimous lcniency to their
sternly brave, though fallen foe. Mr.. Trim
lie may be yindictivc for effect, but t|,e effect
will be, with those who acted out their feel
ings on many a hard fought field, q hearty
condemnation for all time
