France, Austria. Mexico.

The correspondence between our Government
and that of France in relation to the occupation
of Mexico shows that it was agreed that if the
French Government would withdraw its troops
from Mexico, our Government would adopt the
principle of non-intervention with regard to
Mexico. The French troops, in accordance
with this agreement, will be withdrawn from
Mexico in detachments, the first in November,
1865 the second, in May, 1867; and the third,
in November, 1867.
Our Government having received information
that it was in contemplation to send ten thou
sand troops from Austria to Mexico, wrote to
our minister in that country demonstrating
against it.
AS war now seems to be imminent between
Austria and Prussia, we suppose that Austria
will not be able to spare ten thousand troops
for Mexico. After the Withdrawal Of the French
troops, and the inability of Austria to send any,
what is to become of Macmillan? He will be
apt to experience the fact that

Riot in w shington.

A Washington city correspondent of the n.
Y. Neus says that serious riot occurred in that
city on Monday afternoon, the 9th ultimo.-
He says that negro named Smith used some
violent, indecent and insulting language to a
soldier named VIM. Rapp, and, being reproved
therefor by Rapp, attacked the latter with a
heavy club and knocked him down. A comrade
of Rapp's then attacked the negro, but the lat
ter fled, pursued by two soldiers Being joined,
however, by some other negroes, Smith turned
upon his pursuers, and, some other soldiers come
ing up, general fight seemed imminent, when
the police appeared upon the scene and arrested
the negroes. The occurrence has caused a great
deal of excitement. The white laboring popu-
laton of the city are greatly exasperated against
the negroes, whose insulting and insolent con-
duct during the last two weeks has been par
ticularly aggravating.

Is Gov. Pierpont a Radical?

LIS Governor Plerpont Radical? The Rich
mond Ecdmiaer charges that Gov. Pierpont is
cooperating with the Radicals. The Examiner
says that he is responsible for the passage Of
the Civil Rights Bill, as he went to Washington
and used his influence to induce Senator Wiley
OF West Virginia to vote for it, though he had
previously voted against it. This change of vote
secured the passage Of that odious bill over the
veto OF the President. Whether this be true
or not, the recent conduct of Gov Pierpont in
dlcates that his feelings and sentiments are rap
idly assuming the Redical hue. He permits
Asa Hartz'' Maj. Geo. Mcknight to have
the use Of the Hall of the House of Delegates
in which to deliver his lecture on ''Baby Talk, y
but positively, ay rudely, refuses to grant the
use of it to Gen. Robt E. Colston for the pur-
pose OF delivering a lecture on his personal
recollections of Stonewall jackson, and criti-
cal discussion Of his military character" Gen.
Colston was professor in the Virginia Military
Institute, at Lexington. and for ten years col
league OF Gen. jackson. The Richmond Ec-
onstner gives the following dialogue between
Gen. Colston and Gov Pierpont, which oc-
Cured upon the occasion of the formers appli-
cation to the latter for the use of that Hall:
Son entering the Governors room, General
Colston presented to him the letter of invitation
which he had received from many of our most
prominent citizens, which was taken and read
As the Governor returned the letter, General
Colston remarked pleasantly:
Governor, | suppose now that the war is
over, that every Virginian feels a pride in the
fame and character of 'Stonewalp jackson"
Papont. mo, sir: / feel no pride in Jack
son as Virginian, and can see nothing in his
character worthy of admiration
After some further remarks, Pierpont asked,
contemptuously, "What was there in the char
acter of jackson to admire? He was a kind of
crazy enthusiast, with a good deal of the bigot-
ry of Cromwell in him. That was ALL y
Gen. Colston.-'I merely called, sir to ask
you if could get the use of the hall for my
lecture
Reypont -"No, SIR livery emphatically).
Il will not lend the Hall of the House of Dele
gates for any such purpose !"
And then he again asked, derislvely, 'What
was there in the character of jackson to adj
mire?"
Gen. Colston.-''It is useless for us who diff
fer SO widely sir, to discuss that subject: You
must excuse me from doing So Good morn
ing" And the General departed
0 temporal o mores! Comment is wholly
unnecessary. Pierponts feelings seem to be
radically wrong. In common with our people
generally, we had entertained better opinion

Mr.. Jefferson Davis,

A writer in the Baltimore american says
that, obtaining pass to enter Fortress Monroe,
he soon met Mr.. Davis, face to face, while he
was taking his usual daily walk on the ramparts,
under escort of an officer by his side and two
armed soldiers behind him /; and | had good
view of him as he passed. He was well dressed,
had light-colored felt hat, and new boots His
eye was clear and bright, his step firm, and his
bearing as proud as a Roman conqueror. He is
INDUCED in his recreation every day, and is APP
parently cheerful, free from care. During these
walks he frequently recites scraps of Latin and
Greek poetry He is privileged with the use of
the fine library of the Fortress, and is permitted
to write, of course under inspection of the COM
manding officer.

Coyingtou and Ohio Railroad.

This is the day appointed for the meeting, at
the Eutaw House in Baltimore, of the Com
missioners appointed by the States Of Virginia
and West Virginia to dispose of the letting Of
the Covington and Ohio Railroad. We have
no doubt that they will be able to make q salts
factory contract with some company of wealthy
capitalists to construct the road in few years.
This is the most important improvement pro-
ject of the State. In the language of the Dis
patch, the agency of this railroad in develop
ing the rich mineral and agricultural resources
of Western Virginia and in increasing the COM
merce of Virginia cannot be over-estimated. t.
The coal and salt of Kanawha-the iron ores,
coal, and oil Of Elk and Big Sandy, and of Coal
river and indeed of nearly the entire route of
the road, alone promise for it immense and in
exhaustible freights. Its ter1nini on the Ohio
and Atlantic tide in Virginia will command for
it a through freight ultimately more than its
capacity. So much more, indeed, that the in
dispensable necessity of the completion of the
James River and Kanawha canal will be clearly
established. 1t is in this view that we may hail
the Covington and Ohio railroad as double
blessing to Virginia. It will do more for the
wealth and population Of our State than the
most sanguine calculators anticipate, and it will
insure the completion of the canal. 1t will
show the want of it, and it will prove to capt
talists that the business upon it will richly re-
pay the cost of it's construction
Looking upon the enterprise of this railroad
as affecting the welfare of Virginia-as opening
the prospect for commerce that will increase
immensely her population and wealth, and all
the resources which give State power and con-
sideration, every Virginian should feel soicitude
about it, and no exertion should be spared to
control its destiny-to insure its falling into the
hands of those who have the means and the
energy to complete it promptly and to construct
it well and faithfully.

Origin of the Negro Riot at Norfolk.

In our issue of last week we noticed the fact
that, on the occasion of celebrating the passage
of the Civil Rights bill, in Norfolk, on the 10th
ult., the negroes killed several white persons,
and wounded and beat in brutal manner seve-
raj others. These horrible acts were committed
without the least provocation on the part OF the
whites. The following are the facts attending
the origin of these murders:
1T appeared from the testimony elected by
the coroner's inquest on the body of Robert
Whitehurst, one of the victims of the fury of
the negro rioters, that the procession being en-
route for portion of the suburbs where address
ses were to be delivered a drunken negro, lying
in the street, was approached by two other ne
groes and admonished to get out of the way
This Infatuated the drunken negro, and he ours
ed and threatened to shoot his advisors who
thereupon turned and left him. Instantly at
forwards a pistol was fired, and one of the two
negroes Just mentioned sprang into the air, cry
ing, ''Oh Lord, I'm shot. :" No one saw the
pistol fired but all the witnesses believe that it
was fired by the drunken negro. The head OF
the negro procession was by this time within a
few PAGES Of the spot where the negro was shot.
The report of the pistol and the cries of the
wounded negro caused great excitement and
commotion, and, without waiting to inquire the
facts, the negroes chose to conclude that they
had been fired on by citizens the CRY was raised,
''kill the id secessionists," and the few
white persons in the neighborhood, some of
whom were in their own houses, were seized
and butchered

The New York Tribune says that the taxes in
this country are heavier than are or ever we're
borne by any other Thirty Millions of people on
earth. Adding our State and municipal to our
National taxes and they amount to not penny
less than $50 each per annum for the whole
American people.
